Why 30 Days Is the Line
New York City restricts rentals of fewer than 30 days in most apartments unless the host is living there during the stay, and hosts of those stays must register with the city. A stay of 30 days or more is different: it is an ordinary rental, and when the regular tenant rents their place to someone else for a while, it is a sublet. That is why “short term” in New York, for a whole apartment, usually means a month or more.
What a Monthly Rental Is Here
Every listing on Sublet Buddy is a sublet of at least 30 nights: a room or apartment whose tenant is away for a summer, a semester or the rest of a lease. Most are furnished. You choose your dates within the listing’s window, and rent is charged every 30 days from move-in and prorated by the night, so a 45-night stay costs 45 nights.
One Month, Three Months, or Longer
Listings show the dates they are open. Some are a single month; many run three to five. If you need longer, look for places whose tenant is leaving for good and subletting the rest of the lease.
Have a place sitting empty for these months?
An empty room is rent paid for nothing. At $2,650 a month, three months away is $7,950. Listing takes a few minutes, you choose the dates and the price, and 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.
