Hi,
What is the standard fees / commission charged by real estates to find you a property?

Whats the best and cheapest way to find an accommodation?
Thanks

"commission depends; if you are paying already enough rent the agents cover it from landlord side"

What does that mean exactly? does that mean if its a high rent say, 20K per month, then fees is paid by the Landlord to the agent upon finding a tenant?

How do i find out about charges or do companies vary? just getting an idea.

thank you.

otherwise 15day rent for them is enough,.

the best way is to set your priorities/budget, area and alternate choices and then roam around looking for banners "For Rent" , plus check daily ads in news papers, online ads, ask for references in your family/friends .. i believe over 60% accomodation are not properly advertised and just street search, word of mouth and building caretakers support normally get you a nice apartment of your choice

my 2 cents

good luck
