Article 9 Mediation Commission
9.1. The prospective tenant gives the Agent an assignment to search for residential space that largely or entirely meets the specified selection preferences. The Agent operates according to the 'No Cure No Pay' principle. After suitable residential space is found for the prospective tenant through the Agent's mediation, the prospective tenant owes the Agent a mediation commission (equivalent to one month's rent, excluding VAT) if the Agent brings about a lease agreement through their mediation. These mediation fees must be paid before the keys to the rented property are handed over.

9.2. If the due amount is not paid within the payment term, a reminder is sent. If the claim is not settled within 7 days after the first reminder, a second reminder is sent. With the second reminder, the prospective tenant owes the Agent contractual interest
