Property Details

Fantastic 2 bedroom 2 bath duplex with 2 private terraces, dishwasher and washer/dryer in unit on the Upper East Side at an unbeatable price! We are exiting our lease early, and looking for someone to take over the lease starting September 1st. The current lease goes until October 31, 2026. After that, you will have the option to renew the lease for 12 months with the landlord. This is a 6th floor walkup, but worth the trek for the truly unique and charming apartment. The apartment is on the top floor with northern exposure, fantastic light, views of the sky and the RFK bridge to the east. The apartment will be taken over in an as-is condition (ie - wall colors will stay as they are), but not to worry, we have kept it in great shape. We cannot take several pieces of large furniture to our new apartment, including ALL of the outdoor furniture and plants. We are willing to sell these at a reasonable price to the tenant who takes over this lease. Save yourself the hassle of lugging all that stuff up 6 flights and just move in and enjoy your gorgeous terraces! Dine al fresco and have outdoor movie night with friends and family! (We can sell you our outdoor movie set up, see one of the last pics.) Tenant must make 40x the rent, have good credit, and the apartment must be viewed in person by the prospective tenant. Landlord allows cats, and dogs on a case-by-case basis. There is a live-in super, and this is a small pre-war building. Only one other neighbor across the hall. Heat/hot water included in the rent. Located right across from the 96th Street Q subway station, and the M96 cross town is also just downstairs. Contact us to arrange a viewing and discuss further. Thank you for looking!

Incentives

Willing to sell all of the outdoor furniture, plants, and certain large furniture items inside the apartment at a very good price.

Additional fees

Application/screening fee is $20.

Tenant(s) must make 40x the rent, have good credit, and view the apartment in person.

You will need to provide proof of your household's ability to make 40x the rent (170K annual combined income) to the landlord with the following from each person who will be living in the apartment:

-Photo ID (color)
-Letter of employment with yearly salary
-Recent paystub
-Recent bank statement
-$20 fee to run the screening

I kindly ask you to confirm you can provide and prove all of this before we set up a viewing time. Feel free to let me know in your initial contact if you meet all the requirements to speed up the process.

Other info

Typically our landlord only allows cats. We have a dog and we received special permission to have our dog here. I do not know the 12 month renewal price, but it is certain you will be able to renew for 12 months after 10/31/26 until 10/31/27.

Upper East Side, Manhattan (NYC) Building Address For Rent: 227 East 96th Street, New York, NY, 10128. We are #1 in furnished short term rentals, furnished sublets and furnished rooms for rent.
