If you’ve rented in New York City, you’ve probably had to pay a broker fee at one point or another. A no-fee listing means that the renter does not need to pay a fee to the broker, though other charges, like an application fee, may still apply. One peculiarity of the broker fee is that there’s no set number: it can be one month’s rent, or anywhere from 8 to 15% of the annual rent. For a $3,000 apartment, that could be anywhere from $2,880 to $5,400. Landing a no-fee rental can save you thousands of dollars, but finding one can be difficult. StreetEasy simplifies things by allowing you to search directly through no-fee listings. To start, check out these great no-fee 1-bedrooms, all priced below $3000.
