Guide to Renting

I
t has never been easy to rent an apartment in
Manhattan—and now with exceptionally low
vacancy rates and the lack of new rental inventory
in Manhattan.

For those hoping to find a rental in the coming months, the
market tightens even further during the peak season of May
through September. Preparation is key—those who are famil-
iar with Manhattan’s unique rental process and are prepared
will have the best chance of securing an apartment.

Following is a step-by-step guide to renting in New York City:

First, gather your documents. Many a disappointed renter
has missed an opportunity to live in their dream apartment
because they took too much time searching for the paper-
work. While there may be some exceptions, if you gather all
the following, you will have the documentation needed to
apply for virtually any apartment:
• letter from your employer stating position, salary, and
length of employment (or anticipated start date)
• last two pay stubs (if already working)
• last two years’ tax returns their agents thirty days prior to the expiration of the cur-
• last two months’ bank statements rent tenant’s lease.) The time fame for viewing potential
non-doorman apartments tends to be less, anywhere from

Because you are renovating your primary residence and need a fabulous apartment until the repairs and

RESIDENTIAL RENTAL MARKET REPORT
Fourth Quarter 2009 / Year-End Review
Owned and operated by NRT LLC.

Citi Habitats
Residential Rental Market Report
4th Quarter / Year-End Review 2009
Our results for December 2009 continued the pattern seen during the prior eight months of 2009 of minor price adjustments providing
us with further evidence that the Manhattan rental market had found its footing in terms of pricing. Additionally, vacancy rates which
historically increase during this period actually decreased slightly over November’s rate, indicating positive absorption in the market.
Results for the 4th Quarter 2009 vs. 3rd Quarter 2009 also were atypical of past market trends. Because the 3rd Quarter figures include peak
season rental tallies, adjustments in rental prices and vacancy rates in the 4th Quarter are usually notable. However, during this 4th Quarter
we saw only nominal decreases in both rental pricing and a marginal increase in the vacancy rate.
As we expected, the 2009 rental market underwent price corrections. Prices on average are approximately 7% lower than in 2008 and
this adjustment does not include landlord incentives such as free rent which, when factored in, would make price reductions greater.
Vacancy rates are marginally higher in 2009 (but continue to remain below 2%) from 2008 totals. However, over 3,700 new rental units
came to market during 2009 (south of 96th Street) and we saw incredible absorption with respect to this new product. During this
period, CHMG, Citi Habitats’ development marketing group, rented Silver Towers at a very brisk pace, renting over 40% of market-rate
units during its launch phase as well as the lease-up or completion of Dwell95, The Westbourne, Greystone, and The Hub.
In 2009 Citi Habitats reached the incredible milestone of renting over 12,900 apartments in one year, an increase of 23% as compared
with the 2008 total of more than 10,500 rental transactions. Many factors came into play during the year that contributed to achieving
this incredible feat. 2009 was a great year to be a renter; because of the combination of lower prices and landlord incentives, amazing
rental opportunities existed in the marketplace. Some, previously priced out of the Manhattan market and living in an outer borough
were now able to afford an apartment in Manhattan. Many upgraded and moved to a larger space or a neighborhood closer to their
job for less or equal rent. In any event, these indicators are a clear testament to the health and vitality of the rental market and the
long-term prospects of our great City.
Please note the following with respect to this report:
1. The statistics in this report were compiled using solely Citi Habitats closed transactions during the stated
period(s).
2. Average rents cited in this report are, for the majority, gross rents, not net effective rents, and do not include
landlord incentives, unless the face rent reported on the lease was the net-effective amount. Factoring in
rent concessions, average rents may be between 5% to 7% lower. However, not every rental transaction
contains a landlord concession.
We hope you will find this study informative and we welcome any questions you may have regarding it.
Sincerely,

Gary Malin, President
