you can hire a realtor who knows the market and who can find a match for you, but they charge sometimes 15% of the annual rent. i prefer no fee rentals in buildings listed by property management companies. other than those sites that you have listed you can check nybits.com http://www.nybits.com/search/ - it is specialized for no fee apartments in NY. Now, few tips i can think of money-wise be aware that some managers want first and last rent a priori. and credit background check. if you are on a tight budget or have credit troubles consider looking for roommates. also, check reviews about the building like for example if it is listed at the bedbugs registry http://bedbugregistry.com/ . If you are a student, the first place to go is the university's affordable housing department - they can have some good budget places. Hope this helps.

ReplyDeleteGood luck with your search. I work for RDNY.com, but I only work there because I absolutely know they are not a scam or shady in any way.
Check out this site called Rent Jungle. It's an apartment search engine that takes the listings from all the major apartment sites and puts them on a single results page. It also has some cool features like one that lets you see if you're paying too much and another that lets you check out market trends in your area. It's really convenient and free to use. Hope this helped!
