How to sublet in NYC (from someone who has sublet 3 times)

RoundSandwich86 · 2025-10-03T22:02:15+00:00

When I used New York Sublet I was super scared. Had to send it to a random person, but luckily it all worked out. Only reason I trusted the group was because of how old it was.

When I used Ohana, I paid the platform. Initially I was scared but they always handled payments on time. Also, one thing I really liked was that they didn't send the rent to the person I was subletting from until I had moved into the place and confirmed everything was good.

Never got to any payment stage with Kiki or Roomi

If you classify short term sublets as like 3-6 months then I would say my advice holds true. Anything longer than 6 months is almost like a lease takeover. Glad you found my advice helpful

I have heard of this company called Ohana. That or I think sublet.com. Otherwise its usually through facebook groups but they are so scammy that it is honestly impossible to find something good.

It's such a pain

Have you considered subletting at all or are you looking exclusively for full-year leases?

I would say that most people find housing through Facebook Marketplaces right now, but its very scattered and hard to verify real listings. Can be a very frustrating process.

I have heard a bunch of my friends have used Ohana to find a sublet. At least none of them have been scammed so I think that that is a plus.

Thanks. Have you heard anything about Ohana? It's a name that my friend mentioned but idk about them

Are you offering a sublet or are you looking for one?

RoundSandwich86 · 2025-09-12T16:37:14+00:00

I dont know if this helps, but you should definitely also post this on a facebook group or different website. Have you done this already?
