I agree with Alessandra, you can do it yourself but if you don't have the time then a good broker will be helpful. You'll need someone that will listen to your needs, your budget and wont' waste your time showing you crap. I try to preview the units myself before my clients but with rentals it's sometimes difficult because they tend to rent fast but it's still possible. Feel free to contact me anytime, good luck.

Hi Alimou,

You should go to the following websites to look for rental apartments:

http://www.citycribs.com/
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/realestate/index.html?adxnnl=1&…
http://www.streeteasy.com/

You don't necessarily need representation to rent an apartment, especially if you're doing so to save money because unlike when you are buying, you need to pay your agent.

I'm sure you have a perfectly good reason to want to rent, but take a look at this calculator to make sure it's the right answer for you...http://www.elikaassociates.com/rentvsbuy

Best,

In general, I can. You need to be a bit more specific about your budget and your preferences.
I do a lot of rentals besides sales and try my best to find you a place you can call home and that is whitin your budget.
