Q: why most of the properties whose owners are willing to rent it are through only brokers. As this broker business is not a legal business. Also these brokers harass people for money. These days they are also including their own clauses which are not present in the prescribed format provided by the government.
Actually, a broker know the current market rate and according to this, he will provide you the apartment on rent. It is very crucial for a owner to ascertain the current market rate otherwise in such a competitive market, you can't ask for more than the market rate. Doing so will put off potential tenants.
This is an old trend which every flat owners follow. They think that if i go through broker, will get immediate tenants. And tenants think that it is better to roam here and there in search of a flat is to rent via broker. A broker has all the buying/selling and renting records of his locality. He can provide you the property as per your choice but for that they will charge you one month rent.
