Here is a proposed SEC action that discusses finders fees: https://www.sec.gov/comments/s...I am not sure where this proposal currently stands.  

However, it's crucial to review the terms carefully, as they can be complex and include various fees.

I have not charged them late fees, but in totality, it could excess $1k.

Are there any local agents that specialize in rental placements for a finders fee?

It was obvious he valued the upfront fee more than the potential of a real partnership where we could collectively earn substantial profits (hundreds of thousands of dollars vs 10k) in a matter of weeks.

Still stuck at the 2015 version because I own that license, and I refuse to do the annual subscription - especially given that the annual fee is close to what a lifetime license used to cost.

When a tenant wants to break the lease, we charge them a lease break fee.

Hi Paul,I'm one of the founders and wanted to thank for you for considering Ziprent.To clarify, our tenant placement fee is $1,250 and property management fee is a flat $125/mo.We utilize a secure, on-demand showing process that doesn't require an an agent.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

A lease usually states somewhere that items charged to the tenant (fees, utility bills, etc) are "payable as rent" or "payable before rent".
