Realtor Commission Lease Renewal

Summary

In Florida, realtor commission obligations depend on the original contract terms. If the contract lacks clauses for lease renewals, you may not owe commissions for subsequent leases. Review the contract for specific terms on renewals and commissions. Consult a local attorney for a detailed contract review.

In Texas, you are generally only bound by the terms outlined in your original contract. If the contract does not specify any obligations or commissions for lease renewals after the initial *-month period, you may not be obligated to pay the realtor for the subsequent leases.
To be sure, review the following in your original contract:
- Clauses regarding lease renewals and commissions.
- Any specific duration for the realtor's entitlement to commissions.
