House Rental "Agents" Commission
I am not sure where this post should be but here goes anyway. Can anybody shed some light on the procedure/practise with regards to rental "agents" and how they operate. When I initially rented my place 2 years ago I rented directly from the landlord [owner]. Now that I am looking for another place to stay - larger - every "agent" that I come across wants varying amounts of commission from me! This is outragous as far as I'm concerned. The majority of these "agents" answer the telephone and then demand anything from 2 weeks to 3 months rental in the form of commission - just to answer the phone and tell you where to come to sign the contract.
Many people that I talk to say that it is normal while others say that one should not pay this as it amounts to extortion. I tend to agree with this. In normal countries any commission is paid by the landlord who appoints an agent to act in his stead and on his behalf. Any comments / suggestions would be welcome.

Crockroach .....lol
Try to avoid Crockroach Agents. Go directly to the Owner.
My friend initially went through with the Agent and cut him off after the introduction to the owner. Agent threaten him of all thing under the sun ang end of the day nothing happened. What this crockroach can do do. call the police or file a court case ;)
