Applying For An Apartment with MySpace NYC

Applying for an apartment with MySpace NYC?
Here are the steps to applying for your new home!

At times the application process might seem stressful or rushed, but this is only to ensure that you are approved as quickly as possible! At MySpace NYC, we see you as an individual, and will work with you to make you the perfect candidate for your future landlord. All documents can be emailed to your agent/broker but we prefer you do everything within our online system. It’s quicker and easier for everyone.

Step One:
Complete the Rental Option Agreement and Submit Payment

This first step shows you are serious about this rental application. This is where we ask the clients to agree to a “good faith” payment of no less that $1000 plus non-refundable application fees. The “good faith” payment will be applied to your first months rent and, if your application is denied by the landlord or their managing company, will be refunded to you in full. The application fees will go towards covering the processing fees and are therefore non-refundable.

The Rental Option Agreement applies to all applicants so only one person needs to complete the form and the associated payment is a joint payment from all applicants. If paying within the online system, a $25 charge is applied for any credit/debit card or Zelle payment. Applicants can also pay their agent in person with a money order, cash, or a certified check. Please let your agent know how you choose to pay so that they can enter everything correctly into the system.

 
Step Two:
Each Applicant completes a Rental Application

With the Rental Option Agreement complete, we will need to verify each applicants individual standing on behalf of the landlord or managing company. That includes credit reports and employment/student status verification for each applicant. When completing the Rental Application please be prepared to provide federal issued photo identification and to let us know if you will be using a guarantor. Your agent should have discussed this with you by this point. If you choose to use a guarantor, you must be able to provide their full name, email, and a phone number.

Please see below for more information on what we will need from your guarantor.

 
Step Three:
Provide Your Supporting Documents

Below you will find the required information for applicants to help make you the most qualified applicant and to expedite the approval process for your apartment. These files must be provided as soon as possible; within 48 hours.

For that they must also provide a federal issued form of photo id and complete both the Application and Agreement which is sent to them directly via two separate emails by your Closing Manager. The Gurantor Agreement must be signed and notarized, emailed or uploaded to your Closing Manager, and then the original copy must be mailed to our main office via Priority Mail w/ a tracking number.
