Yes, it's true: many New York apartments come with a broker's fee of 12 to 15 percent of the annual rent. But apartment search site Naked Apartments has a variety of no-fee and low-fee options with fees that top out at 9 percent. We've rounded up current finds in all five boroughs and in a variety of price ranges and apartment sizes (from studios to a five-bedroom!). You can also search Naked Apartments by “no-fee” or “low-fee” to see more.
And if you see a place you like, Naked Apartments will make sure an agent’s there to greet you whenever you want to see it with its Showings on Demand feature.
