Hi all, we’re moving to New Jersey from out of state and are looking at a rental. The landlord and property manager are asking for rent to be paid in cash and also charging a broker fee. That’s not something we’ve come across before, does this sound typical for NJ, or is it a red flag? We assumed cash only was a red flag but this is also the first rental we've gone this far with in NJ. Thanks!

Edit: Loud and clear, thank you all really appreciate it. ⛳️ and scam, got it!
