The median rent for a no fee apartment in New York City rose 9% sequentially to $4,735 in 2Q22. This dramatic increase appears driven by higher inflation, increased Summer demand with a return of renters to the City, and constricted supply.
Currently, the median rent for no fee apartments is $3,693 for a studio and $4,415 for a one bedroom, though there are some apartments available at less than half those prices.
The most dramatic rent increases in the quarter were for two and three bedroom apartments, which increased 22% and 30% sequentially, as the deep discounts on larger shares during the pandemic reversed and pricing returned to more normalized market conditions.
For renters looking to save money, splitting a two or three bedroom apartment offers significant savings on a per bedroom basis, compared to a studio or one bedroom apartment.
Renters can also save money by avoiding broker fees, which typically cost 1-2 months of rent. RENTBETTA.com connects renters directly with no fee apartments available from leasing offices throughout NYC, making the search to find truly no fee apartments much easier.
