If a landlord had signed an exclusive with an ABC agent, after 3 days, landlord decided not to proceed with the exclusive, agent agreed and did not hand in the exclusive to the company. After one month later, the landlord rent out the property thru' another agent. Can the ABC agent collect commision from landlord ? Landlord did not recieve any exclusive document upon signing, the ABC agent also did not submit to his company to endorsed until the unit was rented out. That was one month later after the signing.

Hi Veronica,

The only exclusive that is valid will have to be the CEA Exclusive forms if we are talking about residential property here. That exclusive form states that the loandlord will need to have a copy immediately upon signing.

Defintely it is not ethically correct for the ABC agent to be doing what you have described. If he or she has not done anything to rent out he house then no commission should be paid of course. Maybe you can call the agent and have a good talk with him or her. If things still doesnt work out then you may consult CEA on this matter as well.

Hope this helps. Thanks.

Evening Veronica,

I echo Jeffrey's comment. He need to use the CEA endosed rental exclusive form. As you had signed the exclusive and you verbally terminated it 3 days later, if he have brought any tenant to view within these 3 days and you close the deal with the tenants whom he brought in, he is eligible to claim the commission from you, within one month from the date the exclusive is signed.
Else, he have totally zero business with you.
