Morning, Under CEA ruling, the agent would brought in the tenant will be representing them as you did not appoint him to represent you. Since the agent represent the tenant, he should not be collecting commission payable from you, which will be a result of dual representation. You can also check it out with CEA for further details, be it on the agent's status or your particular issue. FYI Mike Lim 96929209  m52i@yahoo.com ERA Read More

If you do not engage him, then there is no obligations to pay, however, if there is a successful match of the tenant for your unit, and the stumbling block to successfully transacting this rental is the paying of commission to the salesperson, it will be up to your discreet to decide if you want to pay him and get this rental in or risk losing rental income. It is a double edged sword in this scenario. I would encourage you to think from an investor point of view to understand what the objectives are from your investment.
