It’s a silly loophole, but I believe the fine print of the law is that landlords cannot charge an application fee/credit fee.

(This isn’t the actual law but: https://www.boston.gov/renting-boston)

A realtor is able to charge the fees.

Now why isn’t the $20 credit check fee folded into the broker’s fee? 🤷
