While it would certainly be silly to actively seek out an apartment with a broker’s fee—which can amount to as much as 15% of a year’s rent—limiting your search to no-fee apartments means that you might inadvertently miss out on a place that might otherwise be perfect for you. Low-fee rentals, with broker fees of no more than 9% of the annual rent, are a practical middle ground. Browse the ones listed here in our Low-Fee Rental Roundup or check off the “low-fee” search box at apartment rental site Naked Apartments.
