If you've been hunting for a rental apartment or lived in a rental apartment in New York City, especially Manhattan, you know that New York City rental apartment brokers charge considerable fees. So do apartment information vendors or "AIVs".Rental apartment information vendors provide rental apartment seekers with a list of available rental apartments. But AIV's often copy these apartment listings straight from classified ads in local newspapers or from websites like ours. Then they charge you upwards of $150.00 per month for their services. Unfortunately, the listings are sometimes stale and inaccurate.nofeerentals.com - owned and operated by Jakobson Properties, LLC, a third generation family business located in downtown Manhattan near New York University -- owns the buildings you'll see listed on the
site. We rent apartments -- short term and long term -- directly to you with no middleman.We update our availablities five days a weeks, and we indicate the date and time of the latest update at the top of the listings page.But best of all, our list is completely free. Visit as often as you like and see what's new. That's what "No Fee" should mean!

www.9300realty.comThe search engine wasn't working. Apts I found under "Rental Deals" seemed overpriced.
A good list of rental buildings can be found here: http://www.nybits.com/apartments.html For this section, we've compiled an extensive list of New York City rental apartment buildings. The ones located in Manhattan tend to be large ("high-rise") and fairly expensive. However, we've recently started adding smaller walkup and even brownstone buildings as well. The overwhelming majority of buildings listed on this page are "no-fee" - i.e. managed by companies that deal directly with renters. That means you do not need to hire a broker to rent an apartment. There are a few exceptions, but they are just that - exceptions. Generally, large managers don't mind doing everything themselves, including screening applicants and showing apartments. Most buildings listed offer unfurnished apartments, but major appliances are always included. The buildings are grouped by area.
Many of the management companies and landlords above advertise directly to apartment hunters in the owner no fee ads on http://newyork.craigslist.org.
If you found this list helpful you might also want to check out Apartment Hunting 101 by MrsCG, a concise breakdown of what you need to know for finding and renting an apartment in New York City.
