NYC Rent Prequalification

Instantly check if your income or guarantor qualifies you for NYC rental listings on any website.

Stop pulling out calculators, opening spreadsheets, or doing mental math for every single NYC apartment listing you view. NYC Rent Check is a lightweight browser extension that instantly evaluates whether your household income—or your guarantor's income—meets standard New York City rental prequalification rules directly on any active listing page. Key Features: • Instant 40x Tenant Rule Evaluation: Automatically compares the listing’s monthly rent against your annual gross income to check if you meet standard landlord requirements. • 80x Guarantor Rule Support: Know right away if your guarantor qualifies if tenant income falls short. • Housing Burden Index: See the exact percentage of your gross income dedicated to rent to help you budget responsibly. • One-Click Page Scanning: Seamlessly scans active rental pages across StreetEasy, Zillow, RentHop, Apartments.com, and independent NYC broker sites. • Instant Summary Sharing: Copy a formatted text report with qualification status, rental numbers, and listing URLs directly to your clipboard to send to roommates or partners. • 100% Client-Side Privacy: Your financial details are saved strictly within your browser's local storage. No salary or personal browsing data is ever uploaded, stored, or sold. How It Works: 1. Enter your annual salary and optional guarantor income in the extension settings. 2. Browse NYC apartment listings as you normally do. 3. Click "Scan Active Page" to run automatic prequalification checks. 4. Get instant visual pass/fail indicators and housing cost breakdowns. Whether you are actively hunting for apartments in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or the surrounding boroughs, NYC Rent Check helps you filter out non-qualifying listings in seconds and make confident, informed decisions.
