We are pleased to offer complimentary services including neighborhood tours for new hires with accepted job offers and home finding assistance for new or current faculty members; however, please note that a finder’s fee applies to rental assistance services when an apartment is secured through the program. For those new to New York City, payment of a broker's fee by the renter is a standard practice given the low vacancy rate of apartments across the city; however, below market rate fees may be available through this program depending on the property, which is actually unusual.
