Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to find a qualified tenant in NYC?

In my experience, well-priced rentals in Manhattan and Brooklyn typically find qualified tenants within 2 to 4 weeks. Factors like season, price point, and building amenities all play a role. Spring and summer are the busiest leasing seasons in NYC.

What is my NYC rental property worth?

Rental values depend on neighborhood, building type, unit condition, amenities, and current market conditions. I provide a free rental market analysis using recent comparable leases in your building and neighborhood to determine the optimal asking rent.

Do you handle lease renewals for existing tenants?

Yes. I assist landlords with lease renewal negotiations, including rent adjustments based on current market data. For rent-stabilized units, I ensure compliance with the Rent Guidelines Board annual increases.

What does tenant screening include?

My tenant screening process includes credit checks, income verification (typically requiring 40x monthly rent in annual income), employment verification, landlord references, and background checks. All screening is conducted in full compliance with NYC and NYS fair housing laws.

Who pays the broker fee on NYC rentals?

Under NYC's FARE Act (effective June 2025), the party who hires the broker pays the fee. If you as the landlord engage me to list and market your rental, the fee is your responsibility. This transparency benefits both landlords and tenants by setting clear expectations upfront.

What platforms will my rental be listed on?

Your listing is syndicated through the RLS (REBNY Listing Service) to every major platform: StreetEasy, Zillow, Apartments.com, Realtor.com, and hundreds of brokerage websites. This maximizes exposure to qualified tenants across all channels.
