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.

In California it's legal if it's disclosed to and approved by both
parties. I wouldn't be surprised if the rule were the same in NJ.

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?
