There are a few roommate finder websites that will charge you a fee, but most don't. The ones that charge you are not really worth the fee; the best one to use is roomster.com, because it is free.
Apartment rental agencies do charge a fee. That is how they would make their money. People contact them when they need and apartment and the agency will connect them in apartments avaiable in the area.

There are Apartment Referral services or people can hire a broker to find apartments for them. To be an apartment finder yourself you would need to have your own business, etc. It is a growing resource that savvy hunters, especially those who are comfortable searching on the Internet, should not neglect. For a monthly fee these services will provide a list of no-fee apartment rentals as they become available.
The finder fee is typically equal to one month's rent. It is possible that there is regulation limiting this fee. The NYS Attorney General's Office can probably answer the regulation question.

Yes, it appears that companies do pay a subscription fee to be searchable on loan finder. I cannot find out how much that subscription fee is, however.
Yes, a landlord can charge you to repair any and all damage that you caused, even if you paid an applicaiton fee or cleaning fee, or even if the among of damage exceeds your security deposit.
No. It depends on the apartment. There is no law here that states you can have a dog. Some apartment owners allow animals , but others don't. Some charge a fee for having a pet and others don't. So, it is apartment by apartment.
This depends upon whether that fee is quoted on your lease when you signed it. It is not there, then landlord cannot charge you because he rented the apartment quickly after you left. However he may be able to keep your security deposit if you broke your lease. If there was a lease, the terms are generally such that you are responsible for the rent for any month that the apartment is vacant from the time you vacate the apartment to the time the lease ends OR the apartment is rented out, whichever comes first. Since the landlord did not suffer any damage by breaking the lease - he rented out the unit just a few days that you left - there shouldn't really be any reason for him to charge a fee. But if that is stated on your lease then he has the right to do so.
