Renter Tips for New York

Under NYC's FARE Act (effective June 11, 2025), a landlord's own broker fee is now paid by the landlord, not the tenant — though a tenant who hires their own broker still pays that broker directly. Ask about rent stabilization status before signing; stabilized units offer significant long-term savings. Many landlords require annual income of 40–45× the monthly rent. If you fall short, a guarantor service like Insurent can step in. Always tour in person — photos can be deceptive in NYC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay a broker fee in NYC?

Not for a landlord's own broker. The FARE Act, effective June 11, 2025, bars a landlord's agent from charging the tenant. You can still choose to hire and pay your own broker if you want one — see the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection's FARE Act guidance (nyc.gov/site/dca/about/FAQ-Broker-Fees.page) for details.

What is rent stabilization in NYC?

Rent-stabilized apartments have legally limited annual rent increases set by the NYC Rent Guidelines Board. Tenants in stabilized units also have the right to renew their lease and strong eviction protections. Over 1 million NYC apartments are stabilized.

When is the best time to find a rental in NYC?

The NYC rental market peaks in summer (May–August) when apartments are most abundant but competition is highest. Winter (November–February) offers less selection but more negotiating power. The September 1st lease cycle dominates many neighborhoods.
