September Market Update
Sep 1st
September 2010 Manhattan Rental Market Update
The vacancy rate in Manhattan is low…. less than 1%, as it was a couple of years ago. Apartments are moving very fast. September is a busy month and there will not be a huge selection, so be prepared to jump on an apartment once you like it. Having your paperwork ready is the most important thing.
Landlords Now Required to Disclose Bed Bug Infestation
Aug 31st
From REBNY:
Governor Paterson signed S8130 into law, requiring owners of New York City residential property to disclose bedbug infestation history before an apartment is leased. The legislation requires disclosure of bedbug infestation regarding the apartment rented by the tenant and the building within the last 12 months. The law takes effect immediately. The Department of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) must promulgate or approve disclosure forms. We have received many questions about how the law will be implemented. We have contacted the staff at DHCR and are seeking answers to these questions.
This is a copy of the attached letter:
S 27-2018.1 NOTICE OF BEDBUG INFESTATION HISTORY. A. FOR HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS SUBJECT TO THIS CODE, AN OWNER SHALL FURNISH TO EACH TENANT SIGNING A VACANCY LEASE, A NOTICE IN A FORM PROMULGATED OR APPROVED BY THE STATE DIVISION OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL THAT SETS FORTH THE PROPERTY’S BEDBUG INFESTATION HISTORY FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR REGARDING THE PREMISES RENTED BY THE TENANT AND THE BUILDING IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED.
B. UPON WRITTEN COMPLAINT, IN A FORM PROMULGATED OR APPROVED BY THE DIVISION OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL, BY THE TENANT THAT HE OR SHE WAS NOT FURNISHED WITH A COPY OF THE NOTICE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION A OF THIS SECTION, THE DIVISION OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL SHALL ORDER THE OWNER TO FURNISH THE NOTICE.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

August – No VLOG Market Update!
Aug 24th
Ok, so August came and is almost gone and I haven’t uploaded a market update video. The fact is, nothing really changed from June and July, except that everything I said previously is x10!!! There are No Good Apartments Left, Prices are High, Incentives are virtually Gone, and it’s definitely a Landlord’s Market!
If you actually need to move by september 1st, give me a call right now and I’ll help you set a game plan. If not, I recommend waiting until September to start your search.
There are a few needles-in-a-haystack popping up, so all hope is not lost, if you are an immediate move in.
