Hi,

I would be looking at renting a unit for minimum 2 years.

If I do this through an agent, would I still need to pay agent fees? I am told if we rent for 2 years, no fees needs to be paid so just want to double check.

Thanks!

Good evening,

You have to bear the agent's fees be it it's 1 or 2 years at any rental amount if you decide to engage an agent.

There's no regulation stating that tenants don't have to pay any agent fees if the rental is more than $3500 FYI.

Btw if you don't wish to pay any agent fees, maybe you should liaise directly with the landlord's agent.

Cheers!

Dear tenant,

Who was the person who told you about such an arrangement?

It is absolutely nonsense. As long as you engage the services of a salesperson to source you a unit for rental instead of you calling the salesperson directly based on his or her advertisement, be prepared to pay the service fees for brokering the rental, regardless whether it is 1, 2 or even 3 years. If the salesperson does not collect from you, be grateful that this is a bonus to you, because the landlord's salesperson is willing to share the commission involved, because no one will be willing to work for free. I am sure you will agree on that.

I have a residential leasing team of consultants who are actively matching units with tenants and vice versa. If you would like a professional team to help you do the matching, feel free to get in touch with us.
