Under G.L. 186, 15B(1)(b) , the law is clear that a landlord can charge only first months rent, last months rent, a security deposit, and the cost of a new lock. Perry v. Equity Residential Management, LLC , U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, Civil Action No.
When a landlord brings in a broker to help rent out their property, the landlord often ends up paying the fee. On the other hand, if a tenant hires a broker to find a place, the tenant typically covers the cost. However, agreements can vary widely.
Theyre called administration fees. They help the brokerage pay for their systems, legal fees, documentation storage, and admin salaries.
Beginning today, August 1, the new law explicitly prohibits real estate professionals from charging tenants broker fees for services that are primarily provided to a landlord. Hence, under updated state law, brokers and salespersons are prohibited from requiring tenants to pay for services provided to their landlord.
Beginning August 1, 2025, only the person who hires a broker or salesperson is allowed to pay that brokers fee. If you are hired by a landlord to list and lease a unit, the landlord may not charge your fee to the tenant.
