I haver had brokers tell me 15 percent. I have never been in a rental market that charges a broker's fee.

In my experience, 15% is the “standard,” but seeming only exists so you can negotiate down to 1 month rent.

it exists in case someone comes with their own broker, and then it's split 7.5% each

I know plenty of brokers who won't let you get anywhere near getting the apartment for less than 15%> regardless of the tenant's situation
