Renting, from both sides of the lease.
Searching for an apartment? We'll help you find it and get your application in shape. Renting one out? We'll get it shown and placed with the right tenant — same fair process for every applicant.
Find the right rental, ready to apply.
We define the neighborhoods, price points, and unit types that match your needs and commute — then focus your search where it's most likely to succeed.
Landlords and management companies look for complete, credible applications. We help you prepare the documents and references that make your application competitive.

NYC rentals carry specific norms — broker fees, income requirements, guarantors, and document standards. We help you understand what to expect and how to be ready.
How broker fees work when you're renting in New York City.
The Fairness in Apartment Rental Expenses (FARE) Act took effect on June 11, 2025. Under it, a landlord's own hired broker can no longer charge their fee to the tenant — broker fees now follow whoever hired the broker. You can still choose to hire and pay your own broker, but a landlord can no longer pass their agent's fee on to you. Landlords and their agents must also disclose all required fees clearly, in writing and in listings, before a lease is signed. The law is enforced by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.
