All NYC apartment rentals are now officially no-fee apartments.
Real-estate brokers can no longer impose a fee on New Yorkers when they rent an apartment, the state says.

It marks the latest move by New York state to enact rules more favorable to tenants, and follows last year’s stricter rent-regulation law that made it much more difficult for landlords to upgrade and convert rent-stabilized units into market-rate apartments.
