2. Renting a house For renters, when renting a house, many people will choose to find the landlord through a real estate agent and complete the renting behavior through tripartite negotiation. In this form of renting, the tenant needs to pay the intermediary fee to the real estate agent, and this fee is generally paid according to the percentage of the first month's rent, but it is shared by the landlord and the tenant.
3. Although the agency fee generated by renting a house is shared by the landlord and the tenant, the final fee will be transferred back to the tenant. This is because the landlord will spend this part of the cost on the house price and then earn it back, so the rent is likely to increase. In addition, due to different city practices and different lease lengths, there may be cases where tenants bear all the agency fees.
4. Real estate agents can charge half a month to one month's rent as an agency fee while providing services for landlords and tenants. However, the state does not stipulate which party to charge the agency fee, so the tenant can negotiate with the landlord and the agency to decide who will bear the fee.
