According to N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.1(j), any broker who collects an advance fee greater than $25 for services to be rendered must provide the client with a written accounting within 90 days of the collection date. This accounting must detail how the money was used and what services were performed.
This rule prevents abuse of advance fees and ensures transparency between brokers and clients. Brokers cannot simply keep advance fees without providing an itemized report.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
