j-condo-rental-0109.jpgWhile we haven’t heard a lot of groaning yet about the rental market (in fact news has been relatively good compared to Manhattan), eager owners are starting to do some tap-dancing for prospective renters. To wit: The J Condo is offering one month of free rent to anyone willing to sign up for a $2,400-a-month studio, according to this listing on Craigslist. Other incentives you’ve heard about? GMAP

  1. Santa, I meant more that it was “shit” than “cheap” in the sense of low priced. I’m sure it’s not low priced at all, and not a deal of any sort. All that 4 & 5 floor walk up crap in that neighborhood.

  2. Thanks christopher, I’ve been in the neighborhood for 2 years but don’t want to leave. I don’t believe that I can find your contact info through this site, could you possibly email me (my username @ gmail)? Appreciate you reaching out-

  3. I was a realtor in Manhattan in 2002. Back then all the newer lux buildings, and a lot of the older high end buildings as well, were doing the free rent thing (some were giving 2 months free, some were paying brokers fee, some were doing both).

    I hated being a realtor….
    … so glad I got out of that.

    I agree, though, $2000+ for a studio is nuts. Especially that close to the pj’s.

    fishermb, if you don’t find a place drop me a line in a March/April or so. My family has places in the Heights.
