Rent out your Brooklyn property
For owners of 2–4 family houses, condos, co-ops and small buildings: pricing the rent, marketing, showings and tenant screening, done within New York's fair housing and tenant laws.
What we handle
- Rent pricing based on comparable apartments currently listed and recently rented nearby.
- Marketing: photos, listing on major rental sites and our renter network.
- Showings and applications, with consistent screening criteria applied to every applicant.
- Lease signing and move-in coordination.
Own a building with 12 or more units? We also offer full property management in Brooklyn: leasing, rent collection, repairs, renewals and NYC compliance.
Rules New York City landlords should know
- Broker fees (FARE Act): in New York City, whoever hires the broker pays the broker. If you hire us to rent your apartment, our fee is paid by you, not by the tenant.
- Fair housing: it is illegal to refuse or discourage a tenant because of a protected characteristic, including lawful source of income such as housing vouchers. See the Fair Housing Notice.
- Fair Chance Housing: New York City limits when and how criminal history can be considered for most rentals.
- Application fees and deposits: New York State caps background or credit check fees at $20 (or the actual cost, whichever is less) and security deposits at one month's rent.
- Rent-stabilized units follow separate rules on rent and renewals. Tell us if your building has stabilized apartments.
