Sky Management is a landlord affiliated with 3 other firms in Manhattan through family. Almost all of their properties are small walkup buildings in various locations. This is one of the first landlords in Manhattan to truly embrace the concept of renting directly to tenants and avoiding the use of brokers where possible. Their website is updated daily and keys to any of their buildings can be picked up from their office any time.

To apply for an apartment with Sky Management it is best to go directly to their leasing office. Each application requires a non-refundable fee of $80. For apartments less than $3000 per month, a $500 deposit will take it off the market and $1000 deposit for apartments over $3000 per month. Their leasing department will walk you through the rest.

This is handled on a “Pet by Pet Basis”. If you are planning on having a pet, you must note this on your application including a full description of your pet (name, sex, weight, age, color, and breed) and must provide a recent photo of your pet to the Leasing Agent when you submit your application. In buildings where pets are allowed, we accept 1 pet less than 12lbs per apartment, no exceptions. All approved pets must be carried in a pet carrier at all times. No pet is permitted to walk on the common area floors or stairs. Buildings which do not allow pets are noted on each individual web listing. For your reference, the following buildings DO NOT ALLOW pets: 220-224 Sullivan Street, 253 East 77 Street, and 188 East 93 Street.
