Question
There is a brokerage system for Shabbat apartment rentals whose rules state that if you once rented an apartment to someone through them and he was satisfied, and afterward he wants to rent again, the landlord must pay brokerage for every rental, even if on later occasions the tenant came without the broker. Does such a condition have validity?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
If these are their rules and with this in mind he entered into the rental arrangement, it is binding upon him.
Source
The laws of brokerage are found in siman 185; the laws of conditions are in siman 207.
