New York tenant law seems to state that if one does not use an apartment referral agency's information to get an apartment, then the entire fee minus $15 must be reimbursed. However, the refund policy for rent-direct.com, for example, does not state this. Indeed, it looks like they're trying to use a loophole...
Am I not understanding the law correctly, or are these guys just trying to rip us off?
Thanks in advance for any info!
