Questions, answered

What is a re-rental?

When a tenant moves out of an affordable unit, it does not go back into the housing lottery. The building's agent re-lists it, usually first come, first served.

Is ReRentalAlert free?

Yes. The free plan includes the weekly digest, the Telegram channel and browsing. Premium is $3/month for instant email alerts and 10 saved searches.

Where do the listings come from?

12 nonprofit, agency and property-manager sources, checked around the clock. Every listing links to the official source.

Do you apply for me?

No. We never submit applications or influence any housing decision.

Am I eligible?

Eligibility results are estimates only. The building's marketing agent makes the final determination.

Are you affiliated with the city?

No. ReRentalAlert is unofficial and not affiliated with HPD, HDC or the City of New York.
