The fees are different depending on the brokers but you can expect to pay them at the very least a months rent.

- Required no, common I don't know. It all depends on whether you can afford them. You will see better place with a broker then you would find - Krusty Oct 19, 11:42 8
  - This is my thing: If I ever took the plunge, i don't have the money to pay a broker. - ty97 Oct 19, 11:43 7
    - You'll be able to do searches on your own and if your price range is high enough you won't have much trouble finding a good place. - Krusty Oct 19, 11:48 5

        Roommates will make living here affordable. I have one and it's really helpful. - Krusty Oct 19, 11:55 1
