Big Apple residents would no longer be forced to spend small fortunes on broker fees just to rent an apartment under new legislation being considered by the City Council.

This makes renting an apartment an expensive nightmare for many New Yorkers because landlords usually want the first month’s rent and another one or two months as a safety deposit up front — on top of the broker fees.
