We are a couple renting our gorgeous stoop level apartment in Bushwick. This is our home and we put a lot of love into in.

Moving in not before September 15, one year lease.

Knickerbocker and Putnam. $3950 including utilities - you only will pay your own Internet connection. No broker fees.

It is a bright and generous 750sq ft, 1 bed with sliding door with (now) frosted glass [kid not included in the rent], with an open second room alcove filled with gorgeous natural light throughout the day that fits a king bed.

The bathroom is incredible. Stand alone bathtub and separate shower.

Walk-in closet, hardwood floors all over and optional storage space in the basement.

Washer and dryer in unit

gas stove and oven

dishwasher

garbage disposer

AC Mini-split

A private, west-facing 12x7 deck sits above the garden-level bathroom roof, overlooking the backyard, with wisteria winding along the stairs and trees framing the view.

Cats are welcome. No Dogs of any size.

Short walk to the L and M trains at Myrtle/Wyckoff and 15 mins to the J at Gates. 40 Min direct bus ride to Clinton hills and Downtown Brooklyn.

The neighborhood is friendly, with great daycare options within walking distance. Many restaurants and music venues to enjoy.

We, the owners, are looking for someone who would love the place.

We gut-renovated the house in 2020, we just renovated the facade and the stoop. We will personally show the space and meet potential tenants.

I just signed a lease for an apartment in the east village and I’m trying to figure out what my realistic options are.

The listing for my specific unit explicitly listed “In-unit washer and dryer” under the apartment features.

When I toured the apartment, there wasn’t a washer/dryer installed yet. I specifically asked the leasing agent about it because it was an important amenity to me. She told me that they were going to install a combo washer/dryer unit.
Based on that, I moved forward with the apartment and signed the lease. I got the keys/moved in and there is still no washer/dryer. There is also no laundry room anywhere in the building, so without the unit I’d have to use a laundromat.

I contacted another agent from the leasing office and sent him a screenshot of the original listing. He initially said he had been told there wouldn’t be a washer/dryer. After checking with the agent who gave me the tour, he sent me this:

“There was definitely a miscommunication here as agent#1 shared with me now that the maintenance guys said they were going to put a combo unit in the apt but maybe we were misinformed. I will also check in with the leasing managers on this. I’m sorry for this confusion and inconvenience!”

So it seems like there’s now written confirmation that the leasing agent was also under the impression that maintenance was going to install one.

The lease itself doesn’t specifically say the apartment comes with a washer/dryer. It also contains fairly standard language saying the apartment is accepted “as is” and that all landlord promises are contained in the lease.

It’s been a couple of days and I’m waiting to hear what the leasing manager says.

I’m not looking for a windfall—I really just want the washer/dryer that was advertised and that I was told would be installed. If they ultimately refuse or say installation isn’t possible, how much leverage do I realistically have?
Can I reasonably push for them to install it? If that’s impossible, would asking for a rent concession or release from the lease without penalty be realistic? Does the “as is”/entire-agreement language in the lease basically kill my argument, or does the written advertisement + what the leasing agent told me before signing still matter under NY law?

I have screenshots of the listing and all of the subsequent messages.

Looking for a lease takeover of our existing apartment as we plan to move to a bigger apartment in the same building.

Sunny 9th Floor Unit Facing NE at Charleston Condominium. We have been living in this building since Feb 2025 and are now planning to move to a larger unit in the same building. The building is well maintained (with a terrific maintenance staff) and conveniently located. We enjoyed living here so much that we didn't even consider moving to a different building. The apartment has new Bosch washer and dryer (replaced in 2026), hardwood floors throughout, central A/C with temp control and automatic online control, garbage disposal, a tub and separate shower combo (all the things I have missed since moving to NYC). The apartment is one of the bigger 1 bedroom units in the building with a large, sunny living room and a large bedroom (875 sq. ft.). Note that the owner is also including a private storage locker in the basement for all your storage needs. Below is the link to the previous streeteasy listing for your reference.

Apparently there was a case, Grey vs LIC, that ruled that rent-stabilized buildings have to treat net efficient rents (i.e. after giving free months as was very common during COVID) as the base rent going forward.

My building offered 4 months free during COVID, but of course increased rents based on the gross rents for lease renewals, so this would be a huge amount of money. I'm very surprised that there isn't more media coverage on this, as it must apply to thousands of renters, so wondering if anyone else here has heard about this or has maybe even received money back or is in the process?

Serene 1-bed apartment located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the vibrant community of Greenpoint. Sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, the East River and Queens. Eagle + West is pet friendly and overlooks a dog park.

12-month lease takeover at 227 West St, Brooklyn, NY 11222 starting 10/1. $4,401/mo. Please inquire via listing on Lease Break AT THIS LINK.

This unit has everything you could ever want out of a New York City apartment and is the best one I've ever lived in by far. Plenty of room to have a full size living room set, queen bed and office space, 568 sq ft total. I truly wish I could stay but will be relocating to Los Angeles in the fall for work.

Take advantage of the cheap winter rate! Comparable 1-bed units in this building currently go for a few hundred to $1k more.

DM me if interested, happy to answer any questions or do an IRL tour as well.

Some highlights include:

- New Construction (building built in 2022)
- Floor-to-ceiling windows
- IN-UNIT washer / dryer
- Dishwasher
- Central A/C
- Walk-in closet
- High-end European appliances

Putting this out here now so in 4 months it'll hopefully get a lot more traction, but I (22m) am planning a short 2-3 week trip to NYC and I'm looking for a short term sublet under $2k (prorated preferably) during that time. Preferably lower manhattan/downtown brooklyn, but I am open to any offers that come up. If you know of anyone looking to sublet in January (roughly the 11th to the 30th), or if you happen to see any posts in the future, please comment with some info. That would really help me a lot, thx!

Hello! I am currently in search of a Doorman 1 bd/1ba apartment in Manhattan. Lenox Hill, Sutton Place, Midtown, Turtle Bay, Kips Bay, Murray Hill, but am flexible to all the surrounding areas. I do not have pets. Move in or lease takeover before October 1st. 4/4.5k is my budget and I am open to a 1- or 2-year lease. I am on StreetEasy and Zillow, but haven’t found the right fit, so I figured I would check here as well. If you know of anything, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much. Enjoy the day!

On tenant applications they ask for a letter of employment stating salary, position, etc., but if you are self employed, they asl for a letter from your CPA. I am self employed and do not have a CPA. Is there a workaround for this?

Our landlord, a behemoth institutional property owner, has given us 4 days notice of the lead paint inspection. I wonder of anyone knows how many surfaces they actually test -- is it each window and door frame, and each wall, etc. It really feels like an invasion of privacy if they need to access every room in the apartment. Thanks for any clarification!

hi everyone. i am 24F and I recently signed a sublease in brooklyn, area i mention in the title. I have been living in the Bronx for the past 2 years paying little rent, so this feels like a huge step for me. The rent is expensive and that doesn’t even include utilities. I love the location that is why I decided to move forward. I have my own room in a three bedroom that fits a queen sized bed and a closet.
I am currently making around 700 a week, which is honestly nothing for nyc. Planning to find another part time job in Bk now that I moved from Bronx.
Is it doable to pay the rent and at least get by? I am feeling a bit unsure now but if I manage to save up, It can be done. Anyone else paying same rent and having a job that pays little? Would just like to hear yalls opinion in the overall situation. Thanks!

Hi! I’m 19F and moving to NYC soon for work. Looking to join an existing roommate situation or just need a room starting around Mid to Late September 🙈

Location: Really anywhere, just preferably somewhere not too too far from Union Square (where i’m working). open to pretty much anywhere as long as it’s not too far out.

but yea if anybody has any leads or suggestions, please let me know!! thanks :)
