Renter Tips for New York
Under NYC's FARE Act, landlords must now pay broker fees — not tenants. 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.
