Newspaper Classifieds:
MEDFORD CAMPUS:
Newspapers run classified advertisements that are placed by a landlord, home-owner, or real estate agency. If you use an agency, you may have to pay from one-half to one full month's rent as a "finder's fee". You are cautioned against using realtors who charge fees for just allowing you to
look at their apartment listings. The realtor should only be paid if he/she helps you
rent an apartment. In many cases, the landlord will pay the realtor's fee rather than the renter paying this fee. In other instances, a fee may be split between tenant and landlord.
