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 New York City Rents
For context, the citywide median asking rent for an apartment was $3,785 a month (Realtor.com, Q3 2026). That figure is for regular leases. A sublet is a shorter stay in a place that is usually already furnished, 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 New York 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.
Questions
How many sublets are available in New York City under $3,000 a month?
2 right now, from $2,250 to $2,650 a month. The count changes as places are listed and rented.
What is the shortest stay?
Thirty days. Sublet Buddy is for sublets of 30 days or longer, not nightly or weekly rentals.
Are there fees or deposits for renters?
Renters pay no fee to Sublet Buddy and there are no security deposits. $5 secures an agreed deal and is credited to your first rent payment. Rent is charged every 30 days from move-in and prorated by the night.
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.
