Second, who will pay the agency fee for housing rental?

(1) In fact, the agency fee for house leasing is negotiated by both parties themselves, so there is no uniform standard for agencies everywhere.

For example, the intermediary requires the owner to pay the full amount; An intermediary requires the landlord and the tenant to give half each; An intermediary asked the tenant to pay.

So this mainly depends on what kind of contract you signed, and everything depends on your own meaning.

Of course, as the real estate trading and leasing market is very hot now, more and more housing agents are constantly appearing in our lives. Once you make a mistake in judgment or meet an inappropriate person, you may encounter an intermediary liar.

(2) When a real estate agency dispute occurs, there are different channels and complaint departments according to the different types of housing lease and sale disputes, mainly including:

1. If the real estate agent operates without a license and publishes false listing information, you can report it to the industrial and commercial department;

2. If the intermediary charges illegally, then you should report it to the price department;

3. If the intermediary fails to defraud the house purchasing qualification, the housing accumulation fund, the loan restriction, and the signing of the "Yin-Yang contract" to evade taxes and fees by means of no real estate brokerage service registration certificate or forged certification materials, then you can report to the housing management department;

4. If the contract signed by one party cannot be advanced due to breach of contract, the three parties can settle it through consultation; If negotiation fails, a lawsuit may be brought to the people's court according to law.
