I paid a deposit to lease a residential property last week. Today I was sent the official lease to sign along with a request to pay the balance of the first months rent.
I was introduced to the property by a HK real estate agent but a no time up until I was emailed the lease yesterday did the agent mention that I must pay 1/2 months rent as commission to this agent.
I have since done some research at it seems that the agent is supposed to have you sign a form which stated the agents relationship with the the landlord and the amount of commission, but this never happened.
So my question is, legally am I required to pay this agent any commission in order to complete the lease with the landlord?
Thanks
