Beacon Hill apartments – Don’t be a Fool and Pay a Full Fee

Never pay a full fee! Looking for a Boston apartment for rent.

As of 2026, a new Massachusetts law mandates that the broker fee for a Boston apartment rental must be paid by the party who originally hired the broker. This law effectively shifts the primary burden of broker fees from tenants to landlords in most standard rental situations. 
 
Key Details of the NEW Law
  • Landlord-Hired Brokers: If a landlord hires a broker to list, market, or show their apartment, the landlord is responsible for paying that broker’s fee. Landlords can no longer require tenants to pay a broker fee as a condition of signing a lease.
  • Tenant-Hired Brokers: A tenant is only responsible for paying a broker fee if they independently hire a broker to act exclusively on their behalf to find an apartment.
  • No Dual Fees: A broker cannot collect a fee from both a landlord and a tenant for the same transaction, and they cannot represent both parties if they are collecting fees from both.
  • Advertising Restrictions: Real estate agents are prohibited from advertising rental listings that state “tenant to pay broker fee” if they were hired by the landlord.
 
What Tenants Should Know
  • Leases Signed Before August 1, 2025: The law is not retroactive. If you signed a lease before this date that included a broker fee, you may still be legally required to pay it.
  • Indirect Costs: While landlords cannot charge an upfront broker fee, they are permitted to increase the monthly rent to recoup the cost of paying the broker.
  • Reporting Violations: If a landlord or broker attempts to force you to pay a fee for a broker you did not hire, you can file a complaint with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office or the Division of Occupational Licensure.
