NYSAR Call for Action: Tell NYC Council Members You Oppose Limiting Broker Fees

REALTORS® living and working in New York City – please urge the City Council to oppose legislation ( Int. 360) prohibiting real estate brokers and agents of a landlord from collecting a broker's fee from a renter. This bill would drastically change the rental market by eliminating the ability to negotiate who pays a commission and would result in higher rents for tenants. Prohibiting this common practice of collecting a broker fee will reduce the use of real estate professionals in rentals, harming both REALTORS® and tenants. The NYC Council will be holding a public hearing to consider this legislation on June 12, 2024. Urge your City Council Member to oppose this bill by clicking here.
