In many commercial lease transactions, the brokerage fee is paid by the landlord and shared between brokers involved in the deal, rather than billed directly to the tenant. The exact structure depends on the market, building, and lease terms. For tenant representation, it's important to confirm how compensation works upfront so incentives, scope, and advisory responsibilities are clearly understood.
