r/LeaseTakeoverNYC

Looking for a quiet, comfortable, and fully furnished place to stay in Brooklyn ? My apartment in Crown Heights is available for sublet and is available for both short and long term stay. It’s a cozy, modern space that’s perfect for one person or a couple who want a peaceful home base in the city.

The Apartment:

This north-facing apartment looks out onto a serene backyard — so you’ll enjoy soft, natural light and reduced city street noises. The space is clean, thoughtfully furnished, and designed for both comfort and productivity.

Houseplants, smart lighting, and simple, modern decor make it feel like a proper home. Available for $2200/month

The Neighborhood:

Crown Heights has a warm, community feel with great energy. There’s a cozy coffee shop right next door, a cocktail bar across the street, and plenty of restaurants, shops, and local favorites within walking distance.

Transit is convenient — the A/C and 3 trains at Nostrand Ave make getting to Manhattan easy, and the LIRR nearby is great for trips to JFK or Long Island.

Your pets are welcome but no partying in the apartment.

Looking for someone to take over my Fidi Studio with loft.

Rent $3600
Lease ends 3/31/2027
Looking to start the takeover process as soon as possible, I got a new job and need to move from nyc.
Apartment is amazing with 11 foot ceilings and more storage than any nyc apartment I have seen.

Apartment is located on John St between William and Gold St. Across from grocery store, and subway entrance to the 2,3,A,C,J,Z,4,5 subway lines. Very easy to get anywhere in the city in minutes. Building is a condo building so there is an approval process. (No interviews).

Appliances are all very well made. There is washer/dryer on each floor and are always available. There is a wall AC/Heat unit controlled by Nest App.

A very unique apartment that has been amazing to live in. Doorman elevator building.

Bed in the loft area is a King bed.

There is option to renew after lease is up

I have a beautiful 4th floor duplex apartment located on the edge of BedStuy and Clinton Hill at Myrtle Ave.

Close to lots of great food, cafes, bars, grocery, and just down the street from Ft Greene Park.

The apartment is a 3-bedroom 2-bathroom apartment with central heating and cooling, an in-unit dishwasher, and an in-building washer/dryer, and good closets/storage. There is also some outdoor storage space at ground level for a small item or two, if needed.

The apartment is split between myself and one other person, my current roommate. He is moving out to live with his partner at the end of June. We are seeking someone to do a one-month lease takeover starting at the beginning of July, and sign a new 12-month lease that starts on August 1st.

The lease takeover would include one bedroom, and a shared second room that is currently used as an office & and a spare bedroom. Individual rent is $2400 not including utilities (electricity, gas, and internet)

We are flexible on the move-in date in July and can prorate rent.

Heyy!! I’m Anda, 20, and moving to NYC to finish my degree. I’m completely new to the city, so I’d love to find roommates who are kind, welcoming, and down to become friends too. 🫶

Move-in: August 1
Budget: Up to $1,500/month (including utilities)

A lil bit about me: I’m studying communications + business, but I’m obsessed with all things creative like fashion, film, photography, and creative direction. I make short films for fun/ love putting together photoshoots. :)

I’m also super clean, organized, and respectful of shared spaces (oldest sister + strict immigrant household lol), so I always do my part.

I’m happy living with men or women, LGBTQ+, or roommates up to around 29.

Non-negotiables:
• A kitchen (I need somewhere to microwave my Trader Joe’s meals 😭)
• I don’t have established credit yet, but I’ll most likely have a guarantor.

Neighborhoods: Hamilton Heights, West Harlem, Morningside Heights, Washington Heights, or the Upper West Side.

I’m open to joining an existing apartment or finding a place together! Message me if you think we’d be a good fit or even if you’re just looking for NYC friends. ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME

Hey! I live in Hell's Kitchen and need to find someone to take over my lease because I need to be with family after a family emergency. Are there any good platforms (or are you interested?) to find someone relatively quickly? 2-3 months ish is my timeline, but the sooner the better.

It's a great 1 bed apartment in a luxery elevator/dooman building. Great price for the area too! The bedroom is down a long hallway, so if you have a roommate, you can't hear each other if one stays in the living room. About 12 months left on the lease. The building is super clean, quiet, and around a bunch of the big NYC colleges and shopping centers, so it shouldn't be too hard to find someone. RIght? (please put my mind at ease lol)

Thanks!

PRICE: $4,500 - I'll be happy to answer any questions in comments or via DMs. Thank you!

$4380/month (unfurnished - price negotiable if able to take full term)

I am buying a house and need to move in asap and I am trying to find someone to take over the lease.

It's a luxury apartment with full gym, doorman, package room, dog wash. It's a brand new building.

Let me know if interested. Thanks!!

I have a 2-bed 1 bath apartment on UWS available to swap leases with either a 1 or 2 bed apartment in Brooklyn. It can come either unfurnished or fully furnished and can be swapped either permanently or for at least a year.

The apartment is a fourth floor walkup in a pre-war building. It sits above a laundromat and has been renovated to have a dishwasher. It’s about a 10 min walk from Columbia, 7 min walk from the B/C trains and 8 min walk from the 1 train. It’s also about 22 min from the Times Square station.

On shopping, it’s a 10-15 min walk (or 3 min bus) from the 96th st shopping center with Whole Foods, Target, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Trader Joe’s, Chick Fil A and Chipotle. It’s also close to multiple food options including Vietnamese, Sushi, Indian, Mexican, Italian and American. 6 min walk from the famous Mama’s Too pizza restaurant.

Take over my lease! 1 bedroom with office. 5th floor walk up off Amsterdam and 164th St. Close to the A/C and Columbia Presbyterian. Office is technically a legal 2nd bedroom (and landlord listed it as such) but I feel bad calling it that since it’s so much smaller, though it can fit a twin bed. I used it as a practice room since none of the walls are shared with other units. Pets allowed. Heat and hot water included. No laundry in building. Requirements: 40x rent and credit score of at least 700 (landlord’s requirements for approval, not mine). TheGuarantors is accepted. Lease goes until May 31, 2027

Hey there! I'm looking for someone to take over my sublease for my Bushwick studio at 1399 Myrtle Ave. The last person subleasing has to leave unexpectedly so I'm looking for someone to move in asap.

The Details:

$2,700/month (prorated for the month) • Move-in date: As soon as July 13th.

Lease runs through August 31st, 2026

8th floor private balcony with unobstructed Manhattan skyline views

Elevator

Dishwasher

In-building laundry

Bike storage

Pet friendly

Rooftop access

Literally steps from the Knickerbocker M station, but the place is super well insulated, so no train noise at all. Short walk from L train as well.

This apartment is a great home and the location is unbeatable for getting around the city. Feel free to DM me if you're interested or have any questions. Happy to set up a time to see the place!

Available starting August 10 (flexible).

Rent is $3,611.31 and includes heat/hot water. Other utilities (electric, internet) are additional and in my experience cost ~$131 per month on average.

Since my wife and I are moving out of state, we're looking to transfer the lease for our 1-bedroom, rent-stabilized apartment at the Addison in downtown Brooklyn. The lease ends on May 31, 2027 (10 months) and includes the option to renew. Also, rent will not increase at all upon renewal due to the city's rent freeze mandate.

Some highlights about the apartment: large windows (overlooking courtyard), 3 large closets, full kitchen with dishwasher, hardwood floors, AC unit in each room.

Building amenities include: gym, large laundry room, 24/7 concierge, lounge, courtyard, package room, laundry room, kids room, tenant storage space, parking garage, etc.

Access to public transit here is actually exceptional. Right outside (less than 15 seconds) is the Hoyt Schermerhorn subway station (A/C/E/G), which reliably provides easy commutes to the office and friends (speaking from experience). The building is also less than a 5-min walk to many other major subway lines (e.g., 2, 3, Q, N, B, R, F). You will also have a very short walk to lots of major grocery stores (e.g., Trader Joes, Target, Lidl, Fresh Grocery), not to mention many great restaurants and bars at all price points.

To qualify, management requires either (A) your yearly income to be above 40x monthly rent; or (B) a credit score at or above 675.

Application is $20. No broker fee. Security deposit is one month's rent.

Please message me directly if you're interested, want a video tour, or have any questions!

Hello Everyone my name is Andrés and I am looking for a room which I can move into by the end of July or during the first week of August.

I just turned 23 and I am very chill, easygoing, clean, open-minded and respectful.

I like music and recently started making my own. I also like videogames, soccer, anime, books, food, coffee and animals. (And plenty of other things too lol)

I’m easy to get along with, respectful of shared spaces, and always happy to contribute to a positive living environment. Feel free to reach out if you think we’d be a good fit!

Putting out early feelers for anyone looking for a 1br that easily flexes starting in October. Our lease is up in September but we are having a baby in August and trying to get through 2 month vaccines before moving out of state.

If we were to re-sign for the next year, the monthly price would be $5392. Our unit is 662sq ft, among the largest 1/1 floor plans, and close to the top floor. Smaller units on mid to high floors are pushing $6000 right now in our building, and one identical floor plan on the 8th floor (virtually no view) is listed for $5400. The building (151-155 E 31st) has a great rooftop, pool and gym on the 32nd floor as well as a turnaround for easy cab pickup/dropoff, 24/7 doorman, manned package room, laundry on every floor, and cute private garden out front.

Attaching some pics from our unit to show how much the view adds! We get both beautiful sunrise and sunsets with north and west facing windows. We’ve loved being in it for 3.5 years, and would love to share the off-market pricing with someone that could align with our late October move timing (ideally around 10/20 but some flexibility!). Lease would formally be transferred through the leasing office.
