Hi all,
I'm a tenant, and the time has come for us to renew our lease. Our agent (the one who represented us and helped us find the place), is offering to help negotiate the renewal for 1/4 of the monthly rental cost. She also said she understands if we don't want to engage her for this -- we aren't obligated to pay.
Do you all think it's worth it to pay her to have her help with the renewal?
One the one hand, it could be helpful to have someone represent us in the negotiations, including helping us get our security deposit back. On the other, 1/4 of the month's rent is a bit steep. I trust her, as she did a good job helping us find the place, but I hadn't heard from her in the two years since we originally signed the lease.
Thanks!
