I have a friend who rents in NJ but lives elsewhere who is trying to rent a home through a rental agent.
I _thought_ that rental agents couldn't double dip (at least I always
thought they can't, AFAIK), but the rental agent she is dealing with seems
to be asking to double dip.
How can I find out easily on the net if that's legal?
(I don't want to do a lot of work - but just to look it up for her and win brownie points for that effort.)
Can a NJ rental agent charge both (a) a month's rent for finding a renter
and then (b) charge 10% each month for managing the property (collecting rent, scheduling maintenance & repairs)?
Where would I find this legal information on the net?
