[quote=Anonymous]We used an agent to rent our condo and ended up cutting him loose after a few months (during prime time for getting a renter) of no bites. They clearly did not give a crap about our rental, which I get. After less than a week of posting on craigslist and my neighborhood listserv, we found a renter on our own. We paid $35 to do the background check with an online company (I think it was a branch of experian or one of the other credit reporting companies). Really the only benefit of an agent is having it listed on the MLS (which most tenants aren't using to find a place anyway), having someone else show your place, having them do the background check, and having them draw up the contract (which you can easily find forms online). None of this seems worth losing a month's rent to me.[/quote]
