Here are 5 NYC rent-stabilized one bedrooms in renovated buildings
This no-fee, rent-stabilized one bedroom, one bath in Astoria is asking $2,000 with free rent in November.
If you’re trying to find a place in New York City that won’t have a major rent increase, you should set your sights on a rent-stabilized apartment. With these apartments, your landlord can usually only increase your rent by a small percentage, and there aren’t income restrictions like other affordable apartment programs, and your lease is automatically renewed.
The Real Estate Board of New York meets every year to decide how much landlords can increase the rent for stabilized apartments. This year, REBNY decided one-year leases that start between October 2020 and September 2021 will have no increase and two-year leases will have a 1 percent increase for the second year.
Most rent-stabilized apartments currently on the rental market are in renovated buildings—because the developer is getting the benefit of a tax credit, and passing that benefit on to you. So on the plus side, you get a relatively new apartment with updated appliances and more amenities than the typical rental building. The downside? The rents can be close to market rate.
Except under extreme circumstances, like if you’re caught illegally subletting your apartment, it’s difficult to get kicked out of a rent-stabilized apartment. Keep in mind that some rent-stabilized apartments leave the stabilization program after the tax benefits end.
