Lawmakers on Beacon Hill in Boston have just passed a budget bill that includes legislation to eliminate renter-paid broker fees.

The measure lawmakers sent to Governor Maura Healey this week will require the fee to be charged to whichever party, landlord, or tenant, who first works with the broker.

Gov. Maura Healey says she'll sign off on a new policy that says whoever hires a real estate broker has to pay their fee — usually landlords. Advocates say this is a relief for renters, but more should be done to make housing affordable.
