I just rented an apartment in Zurich. As any apartment I have visited during the search, a real estate agent showed me the apartment. Now that I signed, he is claiming a “mediation fee” for 1 month of rent, alleging he mentioned that during our meeting when it’s not true at all - it would have triggered a pretty big red flag, since I have never see any agent asking for it. Is this standard practice? It seems quite a scam, apart from it being extremely unfair as it was never mentioned, nor did I sign anything about it. submitted by /u/dfalanga
