How can I rent an apt in NYC?

I'm looking for an apartment but I don't have any qualifications to rent. I have a job at a restaurant in which I just started, I don't have a bank so I can't offer any bank statements, I have w2s from last year. I feel like no one will rent to me because I work in a restaurant and I've only been there for 3 weeks and I don't have a bank account.



My parents are willing to co-sign.

a broker is not going to fight for you with the property owner



not any broker with even half a brain would do such a thing



the bottom line is you must establish a bank account and some time at the same employer just like anyone anywhere wanting to rent



also you don't state in which borough in NYC you want to rent but in Manhattan you can't even rent a closet with your situation



have your parents rent the apt. and you can also apply for public housing as the NYC housing authority is the largest in the nation with apts in all five boroughs of NYC

Manhattan has the longest waiting list but if you are single it shouldn't take more than about two years and many of the buildings for singles are in very nice neighborhoods, average rent for a single person in public housing in Manhattan is 750 a month - not bad at all

do not let your parents co-sign



let them rent it and re-rent it to you as a sub-leasee
