As a rule of the thumb, many landlords will
typically need to see some most recent bank
statements or pay stubs that need to be included
as part of your rental application. If your
income does not qualify, or if you are not able
to provide proof of your income, you will need a
guarantor, someone who will sign off on your
lease and guarantee that the landlord will
receive payment if not from you, from them.
Typically the guarantor will be a parent or
family member.

Your credit will be checked as a part of the
application process for NYC Financial District
apartments. If there are late payments or other
issues on your credit report, you should be
prepared to explain them during your rental
application. The landlord will want to run their
own credit check on you, this means that it may
not be necessary to get your own copy of your
credit check, unless you feel that there may be
some errors on it that you need to correct before
you begin your hunt for Financial District

the entire NYC in general, the internet has made
the search process much easier. There are real

Craigslist where you can narrow down your search
by fee or no fee, but be aware that many brokers
break the rules and post in the "by owner"
section of the site. Some renters are wary of
paying fees, and you can always choose to look
only at no-fee Fidi rentals you can even still
use a real estate agent, as many will have
listings that do not have a fee attached to them.

There can be some advantages to be willing to pay
a broker's fee, however. You will broaden the
scope of apartments in Battery Park available to
you many brokers will have exclusive listings
that have a fee attached to them. Good rules of
thumb is to divide the brokers fee by 12 and see
how much it is adding to your monthly rent and
ask yourself whether it is a good deal.
