Incorrect. Heimishe brokers still charge fees.
Someone has to pay the broker. If renters don’t have to pay the broker fees, then that payment by the landlord, will likely get passed along to the tenants in the form of higher rents.
Most New Yorkers are so stupid that they vote for DemocRATs who put fees on everything including the roads they ride on. Hey, New Yorkers! It’s not normal to pay lots of money for tolls. Most of the tolls and fees that New Yorkers pay are only because stupid people elected crooked politicians who will try to tax you any way they can and New Yorkers are too dumb to realize it. Just pay the toll! Just keep voting for DemocRATs. It makes no sense. Oilom Goylom.
