Douglas Quattrochi, executive director of Mass Landlords, stated, "If we hire a broker, we pay for it ourselves, because that's the way it should be." This reflects a growing recognition that tenants should not bear the financial burdens typically associated with securing rental properties.
Quattrochi added, "There shouldn't need to be another law ... because the law is already pretty clear in our view." This emphasizes the existing laws in Massachusetts that protect tenants from unfair broker fees.
He noted, "When people are desperate to get an apartment or keen to beat the competition, they will pay unlawful fees or do things that otherwise aren't standard in the market," indicating a concerning trend in the competitive rental landscape.
Demetrios Salpoglou, CEO of Boston Pads, mentioned, "New York City's decision on broker fees may not have an immediate effect on Boston," indicating the varying rental market dynamics between cities.
