Im looking to rent an apartment in Flushing, Queens. I found an apartment off of Zillow and she asked me to text her. The broker asked me " Are you agree with broker fee?" and then said its half month rent. Is this legal, is there something to do about it if its not?

Some mroe details: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4190-Frame-Pl-1-Flushing-NY-11355/462124342_zpid/ The broker gave me her personal number. She said: baobao kang Please text me 3479247392

The listing said its under a different name (leah wu).
