Is it legal for a broker to charge a renter to see an off-market apartment?

Georgia license law does not broadly prohibit a broker from charging a fee connected to showing or accessing a property, as long as the fee is disclosed upfront and the renter agrees to it before the showing happens. That said, any fee arrangement should be spelled out clearly in writing rather than assumed, and a renter can always ask what a fee covers before paying it. Confirm the specific terms with that broker directly rather than assuming a standard applies.
