Dear Apartment Department,
I know that since the FARE Act passed, brokers aren’t supposed to charge me, the prospective tenant, a fee — so what do I do if the broker insists on charging one anyway? For example, I was looking at the perfect rent-stabilized two-bedroom for $1,400 (somehow these still exist), but the broker was charging a fee. If I say no, they’ll just move on to the next sucker who iswilling to pay. If I say yes, I’m perpetuating a broken system. How can I enforce this when I’m the one who desperately needs an apartment?
Sincerely, Conflicted Sucker |
