FAQ

What does the currently discussed amendment to the Brokers Act mean in practice?

The amendment is intended to introduce the "client principle" for residential rental contracts. The person who arranges the broker's services and selects the broker should then pay the broker's commission. This means that, as a rule, the agent's commission is to be paid by the landlord. Only rental contracts for apartments are affected, not for business premises. The brokerage fee for purchase contracts remains unaffected.
