No-Fee 3-Bedroom Apartments by Borough
About No-Fee 3-Bedroom Apartments in NYC
Three-bedroom apartments are the most difficult to find in New York City — and the most likely to have a broker fee attached when they do appear. That makes going direct even more valuable: a broker fee on a $4,500/month 3BR equals $4,500+ out of pocket before you even unpack. NFNY's direct listings eliminate that entirely.
What to expect when renting a 3-bedroom in NYC
Most NYC landlords require annual income of at least 40x the monthly rent. For a 3-bedroom at $3,000/month, that means $120,000 in annual income or a qualified guarantor. Some landlords accept co-signers or guarantor services when income requirements aren't met.
Typical application documents required
- Government-issued photo ID
- Two most recent pay stubs or equivalent income verification
- Most recent two months of bank statements
