Reply to comment by CareerJust250 in Extension on brokers fee in Boston by [deleted]

Is this including your first and last months rent and/or security deposit? It seems insane that a $1900 a month apartment would have a $5720 broker fee alone.

But yes, typically for securing an apartment in Boston you need three months rent minimum as well as a decent financial background.

Man, if someone asked for a fee that was 3 months rent, I’d promptly tell them to suck my dick.

Yes I should’ve specified that but it is not JUST the brokers fee, but in my eyes that’s just an additional fuck ton of money that I have to pay

Yeah then that is unfortunately typical for apartments around here. I do not agree that it is right or even feasible for most.
