Q. I live in a 50 unit apartment building I was charged a broker fee but I found the apartment & the Managment company gave

A: It depends on whether it was an application fee or a brokerage commission. Landlords and its managing agents are able to charge application fees. However, they can not charge you a brokerage commission unless it is disclosed, you agree in writing to pay such brokerage commission, and the broker was responsible for consummating the transaction between the landlord and new tenant. Further, any person/entity claiming a brokerage commission must be a licensed broker.

Q. I entered into a contract with a company to sell my property to them but have not heard back. What are my options?

August 27, 2023

A: Yes, you can. Your first option is to serve them a Time of the Essence ("TOE") notice, which gives them the 30 days to close. Your next option, is to sue them for specific performance which would force them to close per the terms of the contract.
