Is it legal for the rental agency to charge management fees?

Legal analysis: there are three main ways of agency fees:

1, directly find the landlord, discuss, and sign the contract directly to complete the transaction without objection. This form is very common in urban villages. The tenant finds the landlord through the rental information posted on the wall and negotiates a deal. With the development of the Internet, rental information is booming on the Internet, and netizens can directly find the information released by landlords on the Internet, such as professional portals and other mainstream classified information platforms. Neither of these methods needs to pay the rental agency fee.

2. The tenant finds a real estate agent, finds the landlord through the agent, and then completes the transaction through tripartite negotiation. This method requires a rental agency fee. The agency fee will be paid according to a certain proportion of the tenant's first month rent.

3. Find community security guards or doormen and let them help complete the transaction as a third party. In this case, the rental agency fee charged is cheaper than the intermediary, and the agency fee is negotiable, generally ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan.

Six, the real estate brokerage fee is the commission charged by the real estate professional brokers who are entrusted to act as intermediary agents. Real estate brokerage fees are charged at different rates according to different agency projects. The agency fee for house leasing, regardless of the length of the lease term, is based on the transaction rent standard of half a month to January, and both parties agree to collect it in one lump sum through consultation.

The agency fee for house sales is charged at 0.52.5 of the total transaction price. In the case of exclusive agency, the charging standard may be appropriately increased after consultation between the entrusting party and the real estate agency, but the maximum shall not exceed 3% of the transaction price. Measures and standards for the agency fees for the assignment of land use rights shall be stipulated separately.
