Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Our (virtual) office is closed today. We'll be back tomorrow for the start of Best of Brick Week, our most popular and instructive stories of 2022, including how to negotiate a rent increase at lease renewal time, answers to tough co-op board interview questions, new requirements for Airbnb hosts, and much, much more.

And for those of you who have not yet tipped your building staff, check out Brick's updated holiday tipping guide. Be sure to take part in our two-click tipping poll too!

So cozy up to the glow of your screen and dive in next week. You will be fully informed in order to tackle your real estate goal for 2023, whether it is buying, selling, renting, or renovating an apartment or house in New York City.
