Confirm the current asking rent, renewal terms, any broker fee, deposit, utilities, and whether the unit has additional charges or required documentation. Rent-stabilized status does not mean every move-in cost will be low.

Location within Midtown East, building age, amenities, unit size, lease length, and any fees can all change the true monthly cost beyond the asking rent.
