1, charging agency: the extra charge according to the percentage of the house rent is the reward for the agency to find a house for the renter.
2. Free agency: There are many platforms in the housing rental market that refuse to charge agency fees. In the past, the profits of intermediary platforms all came from tenants, but now it has become a cooperation with landlords to obtain profits. This part of the situation is free.
Second, how to find an intermediary for renting a house
1. See if the intermediary has the following authentication procedures: business license issued by the industrial and commercial department, proof of filing formalities in the real estate management department, qualification certificate of real estate agency issued by the real estate management department, and tax registration certificate issued by the tax department.
2. Scale of intermediary companies: Large-scale and powerful intermediary companies will generally set up headquarters in high-end office buildings for unified management, with numerous chains, large scale, many employees and perfect hardware facilities. The bigger the company, the more standardized the operation, and the more adequate the housing.
3. Whether the fees are reasonable: The fees charged by formal intermediary companies should be clearly marked in accordance with the relevant national policies and regulations, and they should be charged according to regulations, and other fees should not be collected indiscriminately, and official invoices should be provided according to regulations.
Don't trust the information in the advertisement easily. The windows and glass doors of each intermediary are covered with information on house rental and sale. When you ask the staff these questions, nine times out of ten the answer is "sold" or "rented".
Third, what is the general rental agency fee?
Generally speaking, the agency fee for renting a house is paid in one lump sum when signing a rental contract. Generally, both parties bear 35% of the monthly rent. If it is greater than this amount, the agency fee is also exempted, but often this rent is increased. The government stipulates that the intermediary will receive a monthly salary, and the proportion will be distributed by itself; Generally, small private intermediaries accept tenants for one month, which is different from big companies. In the Central Plains, landlords and tenants should receive half each, which should be the least.
