Welcome to our bi-annual Best of Brick week. Over the next five days, while our staff is on vacation, we’ll be posting our most popular and instructive stories of 2019, including several articles that will help you get your head around the pro-tenant changes to New York's rent laws and how they are intended to help renters get security deposits back quicker and save some money on upfront rental costs.

We also have comprehensive guides to finding a roommate, scoring a short-term rental, landing a no-fee rental, and understanding the differences among co-living companies, all of which have been updated with new information for 2019.

Stay cool and read up, so you can be fully informed to tackle your real estate goal for fall, whether it is buying, selling, renting, or renovating an apartment or house in NYC.
