How much does lease transfer typically cost? The place i'm moving to is charging $290 (which I will split with the outgoing tenant) but fuck me if that isn't exxy
Ask them to prove the costs they're charging. It's a fair cost only they can charge.

It costs $150ish to list a property on a real estate website, and they might do one or two. It seems proportionate to me.
Mmm but me moving in saves them that cost no?
Oh, I misread your post. Sorry. I'm not to sure, it does seem quite a lot in that case.
I'm surprised you're paying it, I thought it's usually borne entirely by the outgoing tenant
Mmm, from what i read online (and also my past tenancies) I’ve noticed that it’s usually split between the outgoing and incoming tenants 🤔
