   Confirm the broker commission

   In addition, some brokers may require a commission fee, up to a percentage of the total amount of rent. The exact percentage must be checked on the authority’s website.

   Register the lease and expect a municipality fee

   Once the lease contract has been registered, a municipality fee will be levied. The fee is calculated based on either the rental value or the rental index, whichever is higher. This amount will be added to the monthly water and electricity bill of the tenant across the period stated by the authority.
