※ Deposit
It is usually three months’ rent, but if a credit history (credit check) can not be done in the US, or if the credit score is low, it is likely that the security deposit will be added. In that case, you may be able to sign up with a security deposit of three months by pre-paying rent or by attaching a Guarantor (guarantor).
※ Broker fee
Broker fee for commercial property is generally paid by the owner, so it is not the responsbillity of the tenant.
However, in the rare occasions where the owner is an individual or a small company, the fee may be paid by the tenant.
The fee is included in the rent for the brokerage commission paid by the owner.
In the case of a tenant’s payment, you may feel like you are paying extra, but in the long run, it is often profitable as the rent maybe cheaper, so please judge by the bigger picture.
