![]() You should be prepared to pay an a gency fee to New York Habitat and rent and a security deposit to the property owner or manager. ![]() And lastly, some apartments do not allow viewings at all when occupied so you please understand that some will not be viewable.īe prepared for upfront payments including rent, agency fee and security deposits If an apartment is currently occupied, your agent needs to allow advance notice to the current tenant. Viewings often need to be set up 24 hours or more in advance so you will need to coordinate with your agents on which you want to view before you arrive. Keep in mind that options that are showing available in advance may very well get booked before you arrive. Otherwise you will need to check back with your agent closer to your arrival to see which apartment options are still available and to set up a viewing. The pace of furnished rentals goes very fast and the majority get booked remotely without an in-person viewing, so keep in mind that if you absolutely must view the apartment first, consider having a friend in New York view for you or ask your agent if a video walk-through is available. If You Need to View a Furnished Apartment in Advance You can browse our furnished rental inventory on the New York Habitat website Our agents are experienced with seasonal pricing, availability and demand and are familiar with our listings so they can best direct your search and advise you on things like when you will need to make a fast decision in order not to lose the opportunity – the NYC rental market moves extremely fast so don’t be afraid to ask your agent for advice! But by all means, if you see availability and a good price advertised in advance you should grab it while you can before the price goes up! Keep in mind that most of our inventory gets booked well in advance so don’t wait until the last minute to book your rental or you will likely be out of luck! Summer is also peak time regarding pricing so if you see an apartment with a low price advertised in the winter (when pricing discounts are often in place) be aware that the price may be higher for summer. Let your agent know if you are looking for an apartment in a specific NYC location įrom spring to fall is the peak rental season as interns, students and tourists flock to NYC. But again, if you see an apartment you like on our website showing availability for your dates, move fast and reserve it before someone else does – life moves fast here in New York City! If your stay is several months away and you don’t see any apartments of interest showing available for your move in date in advance, you should check back with your agent periodically or check back on our website as the dates get closer to see what new options have opened up. If you are looking far in advance for a short rental of only a month you might need to wait until availability showing closer to the date you need opens up. If it is bookable in advance you would be wise to book it because pricing could go up as the rental dates get closer.īut if the furnished apartment you are interested in shows an available date on the website of months before your needed lease start date, the property owner is usually looking for a rental starting from the availability date shown (give or take a week or two), not leaving a large gap of empty dates between rentals – check with your agent to be sure. If you or your agent see an apartment with availability dates listed well in advance (for example, you are looking in January for an apartment for the following November), then the apartment may be bookable immediately for a November lease start. On the website you can search by the lease start date you need. ![]() About 3 months ahead of your arrival is usually ideal, or even earlier for peak rental times. For example, a year in advance is typically too early to book for a furnished rental. That being said, it is possible to start looking too early when many availabilities have not opened up yet. “The early bird gets the worm” as they say! If you start early you can also browse our inventory and get an idea about pricing and prepare to adjust your budget if needed- many people underestimate the expensive rent prices in NYC! Naturally there will be more of a selection of furnished apartments to choose from if you give yourself plenty of time and start your apartment search early rather than last minute. Timing is important in your NYC furnished rental search
