One of the original NO-FEE landlords whom has really made their website a major asset to their portfolio, this family owned and operated landlord began over 50 years ago. With over 20+ large elevator buildings all over Manhattan this company is well-run, maintains their buildings well and closes deals quickly. Many of their best deals for renter's lie in their convertible apartments, but some buildings remain undervalued in terms of rents due to difficult access. Their website is updated multiple times per day.

Owner's application can be obtained from their website

If the potential tenant has not been at their job for 2 years AND makes 45 times the rent, Abington will most likely require extra security deposit or pre-paid rent. They generally do not accept gaurantors out of the tri-state area - NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE. The owner's application can be downloaded directly from their website and their application fee is $80 per person. Other documents that must be included are a letter of employment, a W-2, a pay stub, a tax return, and a bank statement. BEST APPLICATION STRATEGY: income, credit, job stability are the biggest priorities to this landlord. If your annual income is not 45 times the monthly rent, your FICO credit score is not over 700 and you have not been at your job for 2 years, expect to pay additional security. Having a non-refundable deposit or a signed lease are the only ways to secure an apartment.

Applications can be processed and approved within a few hours, provided that all required paperwork and application fees have been submitted.

Abington Properties, as many other landlords in New York City, does not hold apartments, or take them off the market, until leases are signed and all of the checks are with the landlord. So if you've seen an apartment from Abington and you're ready to rent it, you should either download their application from our site, or from their site immediately and follow the "How to Apply" instructions. Fill out their application and make sure they have all of the paperwork necessary for them to make a decision. Follow up with them to make sure they have EVERYTHING. Follow up with them the next day - as they tend to make application decisions quickly. As soon as they tell you you've been approved you'll want to get the checks and go sign the lease AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Remember, they won't hold the apartment for you until the leases are signed and the checks are there. Good luck with your newly found no-fee apartment!
