I saw the cutest apartment for the right price. I called up the person on the listing and he says I have to pay, 1 month’s rent, the same amount for the deposit, and the same amount for a “brokers fee”. To my knowledge, broker’s fee is something like a fixed commission for his services, so why is he asking for so much?
