State Adheres to Court Ruling on New York Broker Fee

State Senators Bring Back Broker Fee Ban in New Bill

Broker fees in the city are typically about 15 percent of the annual rent, which when combined with the first month of rent and a security deposit can mean tenants must come up with a five-figure sum just to move in. For instance the broker fee for a Manhattan apartment asking the borough’s median rent of nearly $3,100 would be about $5,580. The real estate industry, which argued that such a ban was a “death knell” for agents and brokerages, filed for a temporary injunction and sought to overturn the guidance. The core question of the case was whether or not lawmakers and the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 intended to ban the tenant-pays practice.

It s hard enough finding the right apartment and one that you can afford. Broker s fees have notoriously been a stumbling block for many New Yorkers since it s usually one month rent or up to 15% of the annual rent paid in one lump sum and this is on top of an application fee and a credit check. But on January 31, 2020, state regulators issued new guidance on the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, which became law in June 2019. The new guidance suggested that it was illegal for prospective renters to pay a broker if that broker is acting on behalf of a landlord. It went into effect immediately, causing real estate brokers to panic.
