From New Yorkers

Real results.

"My landlord proposed a $350 increase. LeaseCheck showed me comparable 1BRs in Astoria for $200 less than my proposed new rent. I sent the negotiation script and got it knocked down to $150."

Maria T. — Astoria, Queens

"Turns out my apartment should have been rent stabilized the whole time. The stabilization check caught it. I filed a complaint and got a refund."

James K. — Washington Heights

"I was ready to just sign. Two minutes on LeaseCheck told me I was being offered a fair deal for the neighborhood. I signed with confidence instead of anxiety."

Priya S. — Park Slope, Brooklyn
