Legal Implications
The first question to ask: is it legal to sublet your apartment? In NYC, the housing laws are incredibly dense. But the simple answer is YES, and we’ll share an easy workaround for properties with strict rules. One easy way to sublet to a summer intern is simply to add them as an occupant to your property management’s registry. This is how HousingPanda helps hundreds of students sublet their apartments each summer.
Considerations for Apartment Photos and Listings
How to get a trustworthy summer sublease tenant? When promoting your apartment for subletting, numerous tactics can be utilized to draw in potential tenants. Showcasing the characteristics of your apartment, including its prime location, amenities, and bundled utilities, can enhance the attractiveness of your listing. Setting a competitive price for your sublet is also important.
Photos play a crucial role in boosting the attractiveness of your apartment listing. Utilizing top-notch photos that highlight the best aspects of your apartment can greatly improve its appeal. You’d be surprised it’s necessary to say this, but of course you need to make sure the kitchen is clean, the couch is straightened, and the bed is made before you take photos. And turn on all the lights before snapping photos so the apartment feels bright, clean and welcoming.
