Leasing across New York
From Manhattan's ultra-competitive submarkets through emerging Brooklyn and Queens neighbourhoods, plus the Upstate corridor — New York is the most-regulated state in the country. DHCR-registered rent-stabilized units, HSTPA 2019 protections, and the Good Cause Eviction Act (effective 2024) shape every leasing engagement. The 2023-26 NYC vacancy decline pushed asking rents in Manhattan and prime Brooklyn to all-time highs.

Frequently Asked
New York leasing,answered
The 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act caps application fees at $20, caps security deposits at one month’s rent, lengthens notice periods for non-renewal, and limits late fees to 5% of monthly rent or $50, whichever is less. These apply statewide on most market-rate units.
