Do buildings get kickbacks from brokers?

I am sure that happens from time to time, but generally not. The LL wants the apartment filled.

data?

Just suck it up and pay the fucking fee, or find an apt w/o one. There is no major conspiracy. It's a business.

jim, why don't you and the brokers suck up and lower the fvcking fee?

because the option exists to get an apartment w/o one. people who don't find value have the option.

everyone likes "gifts" and will give preference to the brokers who provide them. this is a common occurance. the "gift giver" will have the first shot and may even get a week to rent it prior to the listing coming out to the open market.

would that be akin to say, someone in another business taking a client out for a dinner and drinks?

i other words, sop in any industry?
