Rs 0 broker fee

What the broker route costs in Kathmandu

Fees reported from street brokers around transit points:

Rs 500

Upfront “room-showing” fee

Paid before you see a single room — and not returned if nothing suits you.

Rs 2,000

Commission for one room

Rs 3,000

Commission for two rooms

Rs 4,000

Commission for a flat

Landlords pay too — in areas like Pepsicola, owners hand brokers Rs 2,000 per tenant placed.

Room brokerage is not a recognized business category under Nepal’s Consumer Protection Act 2018 — no fee standards, no receipts, and brokers failing to show up after payment is a common complaint.
