Renters' Guide to Apartments in New York City

We have made a quick renters' guide to get you the best apartment in New York City faster. Consider our rules below:

1. Be flexible! See more apartments than you might think would be necessary. Don't narrow your parameters; start with a wide range and narrow your search as you go. We know from experience that more than half the number of renters in New York City end up happily renting an apartment or renting in a neighborhood that differs from that which they originally imagined. Take full advantage of the service and see as many apartments as you can.
   
   
2. Email citirent.com's customer service department anytime at , but also remember to use the FAQ section. You'd be surprised how many of your questions can be answered right now!
   
   
3. Be Prepared! Have all the necessary paperwork with you at all times. Go to see every apartment as though you intend to take it and have everything you need to expedite the process and ensure that the apartment will be yours. The paperwork you will need includes: sample application information, a recent pay stub with your salary year to date, letters of reference (personal and landlord), an employment letter, recent bank statements, picture identification and, if self-employed, a letter from your accountant and your tax returns from the last two years.
   
   
4. Keep your checkbook with you at all times. You never know when you'll see the right apartment and want to be able to hold onto it!
   
   
5. Order your free credit report NOW and know your credit status. Don't be caught by a problem with your credit when you are ready to rent an apartment. Fix anything that needs to be fixed in advance, so that you will not lose your apartment to someone who is better prepared.
   
   
6. When you've seen an apartment, whether you like it or not, feel free to ask the landlord about other apartments he/she might have available or will soon have available. Sometimes you can find something great in this indirect way!
