LandlordLinks.net is New York City's #1 resource for 100% no fee apartments. Landlord Links provides trusted and accurate apartment listings by landlords.

The demographics of the company's customer base are young adults between the ages of 21 to 39 who are searching for no fee apartment rentals with a monthly rate of as low as $1,000 and as high as $5,000. The typical savings for someone who uses Landlord Links to find an apartment can be as much as 15% of the first year's rent.

No fee apartment listings are accessed directly via landlord and management company databases. LandlordLinks.Net's information is compiled either via price or by neighborhood and are delivered in the form of eBooks with hyperlinks to landlords' listings. Which translates into 100% no broker fees for Landlord Links users.

History

Kirby Sommers, a Manhattan based real estate broker, created Landlord Links in 2005, using the same business model she developed with Katrina Home Drive (which she also founded).

Landlord Links is not a membership website where rental information is often outdated before members begin their apartment search.

LandlordLinks.Net charges the apartment seeker an average of $35 for a one-time purchase of landlord data. The 'links' in Landlord Links take users directly to landlords' apartment listings enabling renters to bypass brokers and their fees.

The decision not to rely on landlords or property managers for income allows the company to exclude less than desirable landlords and focus their efforts on their target audience: renters. Landlords who are deemed to be 'slumlords' do not appear in Landlord Links. Because of this the company has earned a reputation as being on 'the renter's side.'

The company spent no money on advertising when it first launched, relying instead on word of mouth and search engines.

Preventing Rental Scams

Landlord Links appeal to renters who want to avoid broker fees and find real no fee apartment rentals. The website is also attractive to people concerned about rental scams typically found on Craigslist.

When The New York Times ran an article 'Renters Get Swindled' on June 9, 2009 LandlordLinks.Net experienced their first sales surge as renters sought out legitimate and verifiable apartment information.

Updating Landlord Links

Landlord Links are constantly vetted to ensure only legitimate owners and management companies appear as no fee apartment rental sources.
