Our goal is simple - save you money. We could not think of a better way to do this than to lower the rent on all NYC apartments, even ones on other websites.
Since Loftey works on referral fees, when you rent an apartment through Loftey you will receive a lower effective rent without paying additional broker fees.
You can choose to redeem your discount with either an upfront payment or lower monthly rent payments if you use our online rent payment platform.
Find apartmentsLoftey will guarantee a lower effective rent on your apartment. Through relationships we have built with various buildings and brokers, we will try to negotiate the rent lower on your behalf. However, if the rent is not negotiable, Loftey will literally write you a check.
Loftey will reduce your rent by $25-$200. To find the rent reduction amount for a particular apartment, please sign up and visit your dashboard. If you find an apartment that you like on another website, please contact us to find out what the rent reduction will be.
Find apartmentsLoftey only works on referral fees. There is never any additional charge or fee when seeing any apartment with Loftey. If an apartment you like has a broker fee, whether you found it on our website or any other site, the fee you pay is determined by the landlord or his representative. The fee never goes up because you used Loftey. As a result, if you rent any apartment with Loftey, whether it is on our website or any other website, you will save hundreds because of the lower effective rent we offer.
Find apartmentsNo-fee buildings will typically pay us a referral fee to bring you to their building. Since many buildings pay the fee on your behalf, those looking only at no-fee buildings can enjoy the same savings since we are being paid by the buildings and you can still have your rent reduced!
Find apartmentsWe'd be crazy to ask you not to look at other websites. Luckily we found a solution! Loftey's savings apply to apartments on other websites. If you like an apartment on a different site, send us the link so we can help consolidate the search for you and do all the work including weeding out all the fake listings. Seeing it with Loftey will not cost you anything extra and you will get a reduced rent and ability to pay all fees over time.
Find apartmentsYou are probably thinking, ‘how could I benefit from all these savings without incurring additional costs somewhere in the process?‘ However, unlike every other broker you've ever heard of - there is no catch here. Since Loftey gets paid off referral fees, we have found a way to help you rent any apartment in NYC and actually put money back in your pocket instead of take more out.
Find apartmentsYou can participate in our Pre-Move Program! Here is how it works - we have many clients looking to rent apartments just like yours. If you aren't moving for a while, we would love to show your apartment to our prospective clients so that maybe they will be the lucky tenant to live there after you leave. We will pay you 20% of your current one-month's rent, in cash, to simply allow us to show your apartment. For example, if your rent is $3,000 a month and you participate, we will write you a check for $600. This, of course, is in addition to the other great incentives we mentioned above.

Welcome to Loftey.com, the Loftey LLC web site. Loftey LLC (“Broker” or “we”) provides the website (the “Web Site”) and related services to you ("User”), subject to the following Terms and Conditions of use (“Terms and Conditions”). If you have any questions or comments, we are always listening at team@loftey.com.
This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to your access and use of the Web Site. By accessing and using Loftey’s Web Site and services you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time in the future (see “Modifications” below).
By using Loftey’s Web Site and/or any of its services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a “Visitor” (which means that you simply browse our Web Site without registering) or you are a “Member” (which means that you have registered to create an account with Loftey). The term “you” or “User” refers to a Visitor or a Member. The term “we” refers to Loftey. You may not use the Service and you may not accept this Agreement if you are not of a legal age to form a binding contract with Loftey. If you accept this Agreement, you represent that you have the capacity to be bound by it or if you are acting on behalf of a company or entity that you have the authority to bind such entity.
As discussed in the Why Loftey? section of our Web Site, we will provide a lower effective rent if you rent any New York City apartment with Loftey and we receive the full fee on your apartment. Fees paid to NYC brokerage firms are sometimes paid by clients like you; sometimes fees are paid by landlords or their representatives; sometimes clients and landlords or their representatives each pay a portion of the fee. Regardless of who pays, brokers fees often total several thousand dollars.
Unlike other brokers that keep the entire fee as profit, when you rent any New York City apartment through Loftey and Loftey receives the full fee (from whatever source or combination of sources), we return a portion of the fee to you by writing you a check for a portion of the fee, thereby providing you a lower net effective rent. You are only eligible for the reduction in net effective rent if we receive the full fee on your apartment (“eligible apartment”).
To be clear: Loftey does not contract with landlords or their representatives to provide you a lower monthly rent; instead, for eligible apartments, we offer to lower the net effective rent on your apartment by writing you a check for a portion of the fee. Thus, if you rent an eligible apartment though Loftey, your lease and related paperwork will state that your monthly rent is greater than the net effective rent advertised by Loftey. For example, if Loftey receives a full fee on your apartment and you elect to receive the lower effective rent instead, your lease and related documents may state that your rent is $3,000.00 per month, but Loftey may advertise the net effective rent as a lesser amount, such as $2,975.00 per month—and in this example, the $25 per month reduction in net effective rent is achieved by Loftey writing you a check in the amount of $300.00.
The offer to lower effective rent with respect to any specific apartment listed on our Web Site is subject to change at any time. We strive to include only accurate, up-to-date information for the apartments listed on our website; however, it is common for buildings to have inaccurate and/or expired advertisements stating that they pay fees when they actually do not. Thus, even if an apartment is listed on our website, we cannot guarantee that the apartment will be eligible for the lower effective rent.

This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures of Loftey LLC. (“we”, “our” or “us”) on the collection, use and disclosure of your information on https://loftey.com (the “Site”) and the services, features, content or applications we offer (collectively with the Site, the “Services”). We receive information about you from various sources, including: (i) if you register for the Site and the Services, through your user account on the Services (your “Account”); (ii) your use of the Services generally; and (iii) from third party websites and services. When you use the Services, you are consenting to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) gathered when you are using or accessing the Services. This Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of any Personal Information that our business partners share with us or that we share with our business partners.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites, services and applications (“Third Party Services”) that you elect to access through the Service or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access only to those Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you access.
When you create an Account, you will provide information that could be Personal Information, such as your username, password and email address. You acknowledge that this information may be personal to you, and by creating an account on the Services and providing Personal Information to us, you allow others, including us, to identify you and therefore may not be anonymous. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Services, but only rarely when we feel such information is important. You may unsubscribe from these messages through your Account settings, although we, regardless, reserve the right to contact you when we believe it is necessary, such as for account recovery purposes.
Some features of the Services allow you to provide content to the Services, such as written comments. All content submitted by you to the Services may be retained by us indefinitely, even after you terminate your account. We may continue to disclose such content to third parties in a manner that does not reveal Personal Information, as described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not currently collect financial information, such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information); that information is collected and stored by our third party payment processing company (the “Payment Processor”), and use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processor’s applicable terms of service and privacy policy.
We automatically receive and record information from your web browser when you interact with the Services, including your IP address and cookie information. This information is used for fighting spam/malware and also to facilitate collection of data concerning your interaction with the Services (e.g., what links you have clicked on).
Generally, the Services automatically collect usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to the Site. We may use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us and third parties authorized by us to figure out how often individuals use parts of the Services so that we can analyze and improve them.
We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. We use this confirmation to improve our customer service.
Cookies are pieces of text that may be provided to your computer through your web browser when you access a website. Your browser stores cookies in a manner associated with each website you visit. We use cookies to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit the Site and otherwise use the Services through the Internet.
Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are. As noted, however, we do use cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Services and may associate that information with your Account if you have one.
Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave cookies active, because they enable you to take advantage the most attractive features of the Services.
This Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties. We do not control when or how third parties place cookies on your computer. For example, third party websites to which a link points may set cookies on your computer.
To support and enhance the Services, we may serve advertisements, and also allow third parties advertisements, through the Services. These advertisements are sometimes targeted and served to particular users and may come from third party companies called “ad networks.” Ad networks include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms.
Advertisements served through the Services may be targeted to users who fit a certain general profile category may be based on anonymized information inferred from information provided to us by a user, including Personal Information (e.g., gender or age), may be based on the Services usage patterns of particular users, or may be based on your activity on Third Party Services. We do not provide Personal Information to any ad networks for use outside of the Services.
To increase the effectiveness of ad delivery, we may deliver a file (known as a “web beacon”) from an ad network to you through the Services. Web beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
We collect statistical information about how both unregistered and registered users, collectively, use the Services (“Aggregate Information”). Some of this information is derived from Personal Information. This statistical information is not Personal Information and cannot be tied back to you, your Account or your web browser.
The Services are designed to help you share information with others. As a result, some of the information generated through the Services is shared publicly or with third parties.
Some of your activity on and through the Services is public by default. This may include, but is not limited to, content you have posted publicly on the Site or otherwise through the Services.
Registered users may have some of this information associated with their Accounts. Unregistered users will not have this association, but information concerning their use of the Services (such as what pages they have visited) may be tracked anonymously through the use of cookies and stored by us.
Please also remember that if you choose to provide Personal Information using certain public features of the Services, then that information is governed by the privacy settings of those particular features and may be publicly available. Individuals reading such information may use or disclose it to other individuals or entities without our control and without your knowledge, and search engines may index that information. We therefore urge you to think carefully about including any specific information you may deem private in content that you create or information that you submit through the Services.
While we collect and store IP address information, that information is not made public. We do at times, however, share this information with our partners, service providers and other persons with whom we conduct business, and as otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy.
You may access other Third Party Services through the Services, for example by clicking on links to those Third Party Services from within the Site. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of these Third Party Services, and you are responsible for reading and understanding those Third Party Services’ privacy policies. This Privacy Policy only governs information collected on the Services.
We share Aggregate Information with our partners, service providers and other persons with whom we conduct business. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners can understand how and how often people use our Services and their services or websites, which facilitates improving both their services and how our Services interface with them. In addition, these third parties may share with us non-private, aggregated or otherwise non Personal Information about you that they have independently developed or acquired.
As part of the Services, you may occasionally receive email and other communications from us, such as communications relating to your Account. Communications relating to your Account will only be sent for purposes important to the Services, such as password recovery.
User profile information including your username and other information you enter may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within the Services. We will not directly reveal user email addresses to other users.
As stated above, we do not currently collect financial information, as that information is collected and stored by our Payment Processor. However, we may from time to time request and receive some of your financial information from our Payment Processor for the purposes of completing transactions you have initiated through the Services, enrolling you in discount, rebate, and other programs in which you elect to participate, protecting against or identify possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business.
We employ and contract with people and other entities that perform certain tasks on our behalf and who are under our control (our “Agents”). We may need to share Personal Information with our Agents in order to provide products or services to you. Unless we tell you differently, our Agents do not have any right to use Personal Information or other information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. You hereby consent to our sharing of Personal Information with our Agents.
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the transferred business assets. Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.
We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as it reasonably believes is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, (ii) enforce these Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations hereof, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect our rights, property or safety, our users and the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and spam/malware prevention.
Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.
We share your Personal Information with select third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above.
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site -- you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
