Newark Approves Ban on Renter-Paid Broker Fees, Council Votes 9-0 to Shift Cost to Landlords

Newark landlords, not renters, will soon cover broker fees under a new ordinance, with rent hikes and hidden surcharges to recoup the cost banned outright. Violations run up to $1,250 each, and the rule mirrors a fight already settled in New York.
