Want the full report + negotiation script? Join the waitlist:
Your neighborhood, apartment size, current rent, and what your landlord is proposing. Takes under two minutes.
LeaseCheck pulls live comparable listings across StreetEasy, Zillow, and Apartments.com to find what similar units are actually going for today.
Plain-English analysis: fair, high, or highway robbery — plus a negotiation script tailored to your exact situation and leverage.
What You Get
Live comps from active listings in your exact neighborhood, filtered by unit size, amenities, and subway access — not averages from last quarter.
We automatically check if your apartment should be rent-stabilized and whether your proposed increase violates NYC Rent Guidelines Board rules.
A word-for-word email to send your landlord, built around your specific data and tenure. Tenants who negotiate save an average of $187/month.
We alert you 90 days before your lease expires — the legal window when you have maximum leverage and landlords must give you renewal notice.
From New Yorkers
"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."
"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."
"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."
