What are you hunting for?

One sentence is plenty - size, price, neighborhoods, dealbreakers. Pin it to the board and watch this space.

Apartments

New listings coming soon.

We're lining up Brooklyn apartments worth your time. Until then, we've got you covered where it counts - your rights as a tenant, in plain English.

How this works

1

You type the search

Budget, neighborhoods, dealbreakers - one sentence is plenty. The weirder the must-haves, the better; we've heard it all.

2

We check real availability

A licensed Brooklyn broker looks at what's actually open - including places that never make it to the big listing sites.

3

You tour and decide

No pressure, no mystery fees. And under New York's FARE Act, you don't pay the landlord's broker - that's their job now.

Know your rights

Plain-English guides to New York tenant law, written by someone who reads this stuff so you don't have to. (You should still read it. That's the whole point.)
