ASkImma – Navigating rentals in N.Y.C.

Hi, Welcome back I want to continue on this quest to show you and teach you how to navigate the rental market in NYC and beyond. Clearly every state has local laws that vary and you need to definitely check that because you need to know before you go.

Renting in N.Y.C. can be an obstacle course, from selecting where to live, the type of apartment you want and the things you need – like pet friendly, garden, light , space etc.

Once you figure all of that out just go out and explore before you make offers on things, be sure be 100 pct. sure it is where you want to be . You need to visit this area at least 3 times. I always recommend – morning, weekend and after 8:pm. Try the commute if it is a bit out of the way, see if you can deal with that. Make sure you can enjoy the quality of life you so desire.

Get yourself a great local expert and work with them, ask questions and be clear on the FEE structure. There is a form you will be asked to sign, do not panic IT IS NOT A CONTRACT, it is an AGENCY DISCLOSURE FORM, which simply discloses the relationship between the parties to the transaction. Here is a link to a Landlord – Tenant disclosure form Agency Disclosure-FOR RENTAL read it and get cozy if anything is NOT clear email me igiocoli@tylervincentrealestate.com or call or text me.  Listen to it here live – ASKIMMA-Agency Disclosure

I am easy to find. If you feel that your agent is not working in your best interest move on. Do not make that decision based on losing an apartment, this is a highly competitive city, many people here have great applications and perhaps there were just too many and one got picked that had the best credit score the highest income and the least questions. SIMPLE.

Moving to N.Y.C. or moving within N.Y.C. has challenges. The longer you stay here the harder it will get to qualify for a rental – so to recap before we more on make sure your finances are in order, disclose things on your credit report or background check this is an expense to YOU so be transparent it will all show up. If there is anything on there like a ton of student debt let the people know way in advance, and explain it. If you have anything like an eviction, write a letter about it and just know that the more you make them aware of the more they will get comfy with it. If you HIDE it they will just discount you immediately. So, once you have the elements together for your package, go out looking, hone in and make your offers.

We will continue dissecting the rental market, any questions or concerns we are here to help. WELCOME TO N.Y.C..  Just remember Tyler Vincent Real Estate is right around the corner. Call me anytime. Until the next episode. We remain , truly yours.
