We signed a lease and paid the landlord and our broker, but the current tenant will not be out by our lease date and the landlord is discarding our lease and returning our money. However, the broker says he is still entitled to keep his fee because we signed the lease. Is this true?
Check your contract with the broker. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.
