Renters
Find your next home in the Bronx and across NYC
Mena Realty Homes Corp. is a licensed New York real estate broker based in the Bronx, helping renters find apartments across the Bronx and the wider NYC area. On listings where we represent the landlord, the NYC FARE Act means no broker fee is charged to you as the tenant, and any tenant-paid costs are disclosed on the listing before you sign. If you use a housing voucher, we work with you privately to match you with suitable homes.
No tenant broker fee on landlord-represented listings
The NYC FARE Act, applied to every rental we list.
Renting, step by step
How renting with us works
Move-In & Lease Signing
Approved? Here’s what to expect between getting the green light and getting your keys.
From Approval to Keys
After approval, you’ll review and sign the lease and arrange any move-in costs the landlord requires. On our landlord-represented rentals, the FARE Act means no broker fee is charged to you — and any tenant-paid costs are disclosed on the listing before you sign. We make sure you understand the lease terms and the move-in details so there are no surprises.
Roommate / Share Situations
Renting with roommates or using a guarantor adds a few steps. We help you get it right the first time.
Roommates, Guarantors & Co-Signers
Many NYC apartments work for roommates, and many landlords accept guarantors or co-signers when income requirements need support. Requirements differ by building, so we help you understand what a particular landlord expects, how each applicant documents income, and how guarantor or guarantor-service options may fit. The goal is a complete, credible application that moves quickly.
Rental Application Process
Once you find the right apartment, a clean, complete application helps you move fast in a competitive NYC market.
What You’ll Typically Need
Requirements vary by landlord and building, but most applications ask for documentation such as:
- Recent pay stubs
- A recent tax return
- A bank statement
- Photo ID
- A prior landlord reference
If you have a guarantor or use a voucher program, we’ll let you know what else may be needed. We help you put a complete package together so nothing slows you down.
Renter FAQ
The questions Bronx and NYC renters ask us most. Don’t see yours? Reach out anytime.
What documents do I need to apply?
Most landlords ask for recent pay stubs, a recent tax return, a bank statement, photo ID, and a prior landlord reference. We’ll tell you about anything specific to your application.
Do you work with voucher programs?
Yes — we work with renters using various programs. You tell us what you hold and we match you privately to suitable listings. (For your protection under NYC law, individual public listings don’t advertise which programs they accept.)
What is the broker fee, and when is it due?
On our landlord-represented listings, no broker fee is charged to you, the tenant, under the NYC FARE Act. If you engage us for tenant representation, our fee is one month’s rent, due on lease signing.
How long does approval take?
It varies by landlord and building. A complete application with all documents ready is the best way to move quickly.
What’s the difference between contacting you about a listing and tenant representation?
On a specific listing, we represent the landlord and facilitate your showing at no cost to you. With tenant representation, you hire us to search the whole market on your behalf.
