Your circumstance will dictate the length of your lease for Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees. Maybe you need to save cash for a down payment on new home. In that case, you could look into rent-to-own properties or month-to-month leases.
If you're not sure you'll be living in the same place next year, stop before agreeing to a 12-month lease. Should you break your contract in the third month, your landlord could sue you for nine months rent. Conversely, let landlords know if you plan to stick around for a while; they might give you a discount or sign-on bonus in exchange for a longer lease.
A Helping Financial Hand
Most landlords will want to check your credit before accepting your rental application. If your credit is nonexistent or bad, you could have a hard time finding a place to live because you'd be considered by most landlords, a high-risk tenant. Many individuals have someone else co-sign the lease.
Location
When looking, take into consideration how you'll feel in your new environment. It's not just the interior of Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees you should consider. The neighborhood will also influence how much you like living there.
Do you love being near the action? Are you more comfortable in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood? Any one of the many Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees above any of the local Harlem restaurants is probably a bad idea.
Make sure that you don't move so far away from your job that it'll take a lifetime to commute. On the other hand, you might want to avoid living next to a busy and noisy train station just because it's convenient to downtown. Weigh all your options and envision your everyday routines, such as getting to work, grocery shopping, getting exercise, socializing or picking up your children. Be certain that of all the Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees you looked at, the one you select fits your lifestyle. Solo Living vs. Cohabitation.
If you're low on funds, you might be tempted to move in with a significant other or friends. Be picky about your roommates. Cohabitation has destroyed many friendships and relationships. The last thing you want to discover after signing a lease that your roommate drives you nuts with her late-night parties, fifty-minute showers or unwillingness to clean up after herself.
Harlem brownstones or Harlem Apartments?
What type of home would best suit your needs? If you're single, you might prefer a small, comfortable place. If you're married or planning to live with a number of other people, looking at Harlem brownstones might be a better option than Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees.
From a maintenance perspective, Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees are easier than Harlem brownstones for renters to afford. Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees tend to be smaller, which means less area to keep clean. If you're looking for Harlem brownstones, you'll often be expected to perform some outside duties, such as shoveling snow. Harlem rentals are also cheaper to heat and cool than Harlem brownstones. Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees offer less privacy and you'll probably hear noise from other tenants.
Wish List
Keep a list of all the amenities you will be looking for, such as two-story, access to a community pool or gym or off-street parking. Determine whether these are simply wants (you can live without them) or needs (the place is worthless to you without them) and proceed accordingly. One caveat, though - if you're in a bind and need somewhere to live, it won't pay to be too picky.
If you have a Fluffy or a Fido and are unwilling to part with your furry friend, you'll need to find a pet-friendly place. You may even be able to negotiate with a landlord who's uncomfortable with pets in his unit by agreeing to pay a higher rent or a pet security deposit.
Take an initial walkthrough of the apartment so both you and your landlord knows the state of the property before you occupy it. Document any damage so that your security deposit won't be docked for those repairs once you move out. If there are any major problems, firmly insist that they be fixed ahead of your move.
Cover Your Assets
When you begin looking, make sure you're ready to snag the one you want on the spot. Bring along financial information. Include a recent bank statement, a paycheck stub and tax records. Don't forget personal identification, like your social security card and driver's license. Landlords will probably insist on certified funds, so it's unlikely you will be asked to provide a monetary deposit right then and there. Of course, you can bring your check book, a credit card or a money order just in case.
Final Touches
With Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees, always read the lease thoroughly before signing; once you put your John or Jane Hancock on the paper, you'll have a tough time backing out.
Before you even move in to the unit, be sure to purchase renters insurance. It's a very low-cost investment that could save you ten-of-thousands of dollars in damage in the case of flood, fire or robbery.
Harlem Apartments, The Checklist
Impress the Landlord
If you find great Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees, fend off likely competitors by being prepared: check your own credit history and bring along a current credit agency report; if possible, ask your previous landlord to write a favorable letter of reference; and also ask your employer, co-workers, and friends if you can use them as character references (bring a list with names and telephone numbers).
Fees and Deposits
Find out exactly how much you are expected to pay up-front for Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees. Note: security deposits may not be more than one month's rent in stabilized units; fees to superintendents or doormen, commonly called "key money," are illegal.
Ask for a Lease
Leases provide many important protections for unregulated tenants such as a fixed rent for the duration of the lease. Unless you have a lease, your landlord can also evict you without giving any reason (after 30-days written notice). However, if you want the flexibility of moving on short notice, you may not want a lease.
Read your Lease
-- It is important that you examine your lease carefully. Once you and your landlord sign it, the lease is considered executed and you have in effect agreed to every provision inside it. Check for the following:
-- Does the lease state the correct rent, address, and landlord?
-- Does the lease mention all the amenities agreed upon? Be sure to write down any oral agreements.
-- Check your lease to find out the due date for your rent each month, as well as what late charges apply if you miss the deadline.
-- Check to see if utilities are billed separately or are included in your monthly rent.
-- Are there any special building rules? Find out if your new building is: pet-friendly, has limits on guests, has restrictions on running a home business, etc.
-- What happens at the end of the lease term? Can you renew automatically? What happens if you break the lease? Can you sublet or assign (transfer) the lease?
Who is on the Lease?
If you are a renter, having your name on the lease gives you more protections and rights than any unsigned tenants. If you want your partner, child, spouse, roommate, or relative to have lease protections, it is a good idea to put their name on the lease at the outset (later additions may trigger a vacancy increase in stabilized Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees). But also be aware that more names on the lease may mean more complications in the future if relationships change.
Roommates?
If you are joining a household as a roommate, try to find out what the primary tenant's plans are. If the primary tenant leaves and you are not on the lease, you have no right to stay. If you would like to stay at your discretion, see if you can add your name to the lease, although this may trigger a substantial rent increase in stabilized Harlem apartments for rent with no broker fees.
Rent-Stabilized?
If your apartment is rent-stabilized, be sure to keep the following in mind:
Ask for the Rent Stabilization Rider. The Rider describes the rights and obligations of tenants and owners of Harlem rentals under the Rent Stabilization Law. It also states the previous rent for the apartment.
Ask if the building is operating under the 421-a or J-51 tax incentive programs. If the building was built with the aid of a tax exemption, your rent is regulated for the period of the exemption (usually 10-20 years). At the end of this period, your landlord can charge "market" rates.
Are you the first tenant in a decontrolled unit? If you are the first tenant in a previously rent-controlled apartment, the owner should have negotiated with you before charging a rent. You have 90 days from the first day of receipt of notice (called the RR-1 form) to file a "Fair Market Rent Appeal" (FMRA) if you want to challenge the new rent for Harlem rentals.
Landlord's Right to Access
If you are concerned about privacy, be sure to ask for wording in the lease limiting the landlord's ability to enter your apartment (except during emergencies). Tenants in multiple dwellings also have the right to install and maintain their own locks on their apartment entrance doors, but you must provide the landlord with a duplicate key upon request.
What Happens if Your Landlord Leaves?
Landlords must notify tenants, by registered or certified mail, of the name and address of the new owner. New owners of rent-stabilized buildings are responsible for returning any security deposits and interest. This responsibility exists whether or not the new owner received the security deposits from the former landlord (When a building is sold, the landlord must transfer all security deposits to the new owner within five days, or return the security deposits to the tenants). Foreclosure of the building also does not affect your lease.
Need More Help?
For more information on your rights and responsibilities as a tenant, check out the NYS Attorney General's Landlord/Tenant Guide. Also, if you are moving into a rent-stabilized apartment, you have additional rights as a tenant: check out the NYS DHCR Factsheets on our Web site.

The Essential Things to Do When Renting Harlem Apartments
Searching for Harlem apartments with no broker fees can be a full-time job in itself and is very daunting, especially if you can't find the right apartment by your move out deadline. Ideally, start looking for your new place at least 30 days form when your lease is up. This will help you avoid choosing a substandard apartment, out of compulsion, just to have a place to live. Choosing the right one, in the right part of town and in the right neighborhood is very important. Taking care of some important things will help you make searching for Harlem apartments with no broker fees less of a hassle.
Planning
It is the initial step required when you have decided to start looking for a new apartment. Planning will help you identify the basic things required for a hassle-free move into your new home. It is a road map that will keep you on track to finding your next perfect home. Planning ahead keeps you on target to achieve your moving date, helps you find the right location, the right type of apartment and amenities you need and a strategy that will give you success in your search for Harlem apartments with no broker fees. First, start searching by informing your friends and co-workers that you are searching for an apartment. This will give you some excellent leads because recommendations by others, especially people you know, often leads to finding a very good apartment home.
Executing
Once you have a good search strategy in place, it time to implement that strategy. First, go online to the many apartment search sites and begin compiling a list of possible Harlem apartments with no broker fees. Once you have an exhaustive list, begin making calls to the property managers to find out which properties have apartments available. Once you have a list of apartment communities that have units available, organize your list by location in order to save you time and money when you go out to look at these Harlem apartments with no broker fees. While you're out, keep an eye out for vacancy signs. Get the information from these signs and write down the apartment information like the exterior, cleanliness, parking and pets. If it passes the visual inspection, make a note and then call the apartment manager to see if the rest of the apartment information meets your living requirements.
Meet the Management
Apartment managers are usually available on weekdays. Some are available on weekends. When you meet with the office manager, be aware of how friendly and helpful they are. Inform the manager that you are responding to the ad you saw. The office manger should let you know when the apartment will be available, and offer any information about the complex and surrounding neighborhood. During this visit with the property manager, this is your time to look at the unit, and ask questions, do not assume anything. Write down what you liked or did not liked about the apartment.
Thorough Analysis
Searching for Harlem apartments with no broker fees is a time consuming venture. You'll need lots of patience. You'll make lots of calls. Remember, not every apartment manager will call you back. Press on and don't get discouraged. Everything is first come, first serve. Keep your options open. Just because you turn in an application, does not mean you have to take the apartment. Try to speak with the residents to get a real assessment of what it's like to live there, or go online and read apartment reviews from the previous tenants. Do thorough research before making a decision. Remember, you'll be locked into a lease for at least 12 months, so make the best possible decision you can. Take your time to decide.
These essential things will help you make the right choices when looking for Harlem apartments with no broker fees and help you enjoy living at your new apartment.
Apartment 101: A Guide To Apartment Shopping
When looking for perfect Harlem apartments with no broker fees, there are several things you will want to keep in mind. The main factors to consider when hunting for Harlem apartments with no broker fees include:
- The cost of the apartment - Your freedom to decorate the apartment - The terms of the apartment lease - The neighborhood in which the apartment is located - The available amenities - Transportation and parking options - Appliance options - Pet rules
Some of these factors may be more important to you than others. Nonetheless, you should take each of these into consideration before committing yourself to a new apartment.
The Cost of Harlem Apartments
Of course, the rent is the most important factor you must take into consideration when shopping for Harlem apartments with no broker fees. The best deals are those that include utilities as well. That way, you will only have to make one payment each month and all of your housing costs are cared for. Other factors to consider include the amount of the deposit and how much of it is refundable.
Decorating the Apartment
If you want to personalize the apartment and make it "home," you will want to rent from a landlord that will allow you to do a bit of decorating. This may include painting the walls, hanging shelving, and making other minor changes to the appearance of the apartment. Be sure to discuss this ahead of time with the landlord if it is important to you.
The Terms of the Lease
Even if you get a great rental rate on the apartment, you don't want to sign a lease that is going to commit you for several years if you will not be happy. After all, if you were looking to live in one place for several years, you would like be more interested in purchasing your own real estate rather than renting an apartment. Similarly, take the time to read all of the fine print so you don't get yourself stuck in a bind.
Considering the Neighborhood
Location is always an important consideration in the world of real estate - even if you are not looking to actually buy the property. After all, you are going to spend a great deal of time in your apartment. Therefore, you want to be certain to choose one located in a neighborhood where you feel safe and where you can enjoy yourself.
Living the Good Life with Amenities
Amenities may not be a great concern to you. But, many Harlem apartments do offer amenities that can be quite attractive. Some of these include fitness centers, pools, and more. If you are not interested in these amenities, don't pay extra for an apartment that has them.
Getting Around
While Harlem apartments with no broker fees do not have their own built in transportation system, you should keep an eye out for one that is nearby to various transportation options if you do not have your own car. If you do have a car, find out about parking options available to apartment tenants.
Updating Your Appliances
In addition to considering the appliances that come with the Harlem apartments with no broker fees, you should also consider your options. For example, if the kitchen does not come with a dishwasher but you would like to have one, you want to make sure you can hook one up in the apartment.
Keeping Pets in Harlem Apartments
Even if you are not a pet-owner, you might want to look into whether or not pets are allowed. If you are not a pet lover or if you suffer from dander-related allergies, you might want to stay clear of those apartment buildings that allow pets.
By carefully considering each of these factors, you should be able to successfully find one of the many Harlem apartments with no broker fees to suit your needs while remaining within your budget.
