NYC's Broker Fee Ban Takes Effect, Saving Renters Money
A federal judge has approved the implementation of a NYC law banning most broker fees, which is set to take effect on June 11, potentially reducing upfront costs for renters despite opposition from real estate groups. The law aims to address the financial burden of broker fees on tenants, especially low-income renters, and includes penalties for violations. The ruling clears the way for the law's enforcement, with ongoing debates about its impact on rent prices.
