What a Stay Costs
Rent on Sublet Buddy is priced by the month and charged by the night, so you pay for the nights you stay and nothing more. A night costs the monthly price times 12, divided by 365.
The middle price on this page is $2,250 a month. A stay from June 1 to August 31, 2027 is 91 nights, which comes to $6,732 in rent. Renters pay no fee to Sublet Buddy on top of that, and there are no security deposits: $5 secures an agreed deal and is credited to the first rent payment.
How That Compares with Manhattan Rents
For context, the median asking rent for an apartment in Manhattan was $5,375 a month (Realtor.com, Q3 2026), and the average room rent was $1,866 a month (SpareRoom, Q2 2025). Those figures are for regular leases. A sublet is a shorter stay in a place that is usually already furnished and set up, so compare the total for your dates, not only the monthly number.

How Subletting Here Works
Every place is a sublet of 30 days or longer, posted by the person who lives there or their broker. Listers verify their identity through Stripe before they can post; the “ID verified” mark means identity only, not a background check or a review of the place.
You message the lister through Sublet Buddy, agree on dates and price, and pay rent through the site. Rent is held until your move-in date. Before you commit, ask to see the landlord’s written approval of the sublet, and see the place in person or on a live video call.
Have a place in Manhattan sitting empty?
An empty room over a summer, a semester abroad or a winter break is rent paid for nothing. At $2,250 a month, three months away is $6,750 in rent on a room nobody is using. Listing it takes a few minutes, and you choose the dates and the price. Listers pay a Concierge Fee of 10% of each rent payment (8.5% with a creator code). Get your landlord’s written approval before you sublet.

What does “ID verified” mean?
The lister passed an identity check run by Stripe (a government ID and a matching selfie). It confirms identity only. It is not a background check and not a review of the place.
Is subletting allowed?
It depends on the lease and the building. In New York, tenants in buildings with four or more units can ask their landlord for permission to sublet under Real Property Law 226-b. Ask the lister for the landlord’s written approval before you pay. This is general information, not legal advice.
