While I do agree with the spirit of this, doesn't this mean that any fees that brokers require will be included in the rent?

No. Rent is a function of supply and demand in the market and not landlord input costs. There are houses in SF that would carry mortgages of like, 8-12k, but can only rent for 4-6k. This is why people say that land value taxes won't be passed on to the renter. It doesn't matter how much it costs you to hold property. Its market value is its market value.
