A broker (Makler) arranges apartment or house rentals between landlords and tenants. He or she can, for example, support you with the search for a new place of residence in Rhineland-Palatinate, organize viewings, and oversee the lease-signing process. A broker’s fee may be payable for this service, and this will be agreed in advance. For rental dwellings in Germany, the party who commissioned the broker’s services is usually the party who pays the broker’s fee.
