Hello and thank you all for the answers.

Sounds like this is not a legal thing to do. Then how do sites like this do it?

http://rentity.co/ and circumrent.com. Or as long as a broker is not involved, it is fine to do? Thanks again.

It may depend on state laws but in Pa we are not allowed to do so.

Only a token finder fee. The agent most likely already has ppl looking to a place to rent and putting their client in rather than an unknown, non-vetted renter makes more sense.

Not is Tennessee you can't. Only licensed real estate agents or attorneys are able to collect a fee. All others are against the law.
