Leasing Essentials for Property Owners
A licensed broker’s professional fee is one month’s rent for a 1-year lease or half a month for six months—non-refundable if the lease ends early. Standard terms: two months’ advance and two months’ security deposit; never accept less than two months’ deposit. Read your lease carefully—state clear rules on deposit use, unit care, non-subletting, and eviction for non-payment. Work only with licensed brokers or accredited salespersons; they bring legal knowledge, diligence, and protection. Choose someone who puts your interest first—they’re rare, but worth keeping.
