Hello everyone,
Thanks for the posts - some really useful info in these forums. I have a question of my own that I don't think is quite answered in what I've been able to find so far.
We're looking for an apartment to rent in Geneva and found one listed on a number of sites. We rang up the number and arranged to go see it. While viewing it, the person showing us around told us that he is actually a relocation agent, and that if we ended up going with the apartment, we woud have to pay him one month's rent for his efforts and that he would also take care of the process. Someone from the regie was there with him as well.
I'm not sure what we would be paying him for since we found the apartment online and did not ask for his help. I also don't see the complexity of the process requiring us to have him do anything for us. Are we obligated to go through him and pay this fee equivalent to one month's rent if we want that apartment? I can understand if he had helped us find it and looked around for us, but....just not sure what we would be paying him for!
Thanks in advance for all the input and advice.
Philip
