Landlord Paying Broker?

Hi. I am trying to rent out my apartment. It’s a great apartment, but I haven’t had much luck with Craigslist.

I have asked two brokers to show it. They both said that the way it works now is that the landlord pays the broker the equivalent of 1 months rent instead of the prospective tenant. I guess things have gotten so bad that it has come to this.

Has anyone else had this? To me it opens a whole new can of worms. Who are these brokers really working for if they are being paid by the landlord?
