As a tenant you typically pay nothing in a rental situation if they are willing to assist. Not all realtors deal with rentals I imagine

I'm not sure how typical this is for the area. I know in Boston it's common that the tenant pays the entire 1-month's rent to the realtor as a fee. There's nothing wrong with using realtors but definitely have a clear understanding about what you do and don't pay for before signing any agreements.

I have only done it as a landlord and paid 1 month as you described and only heard of the same. However you are probably right and it is whoever uses the realtor pays
