At Leasebreak.com, our mission is simple: Connect New York City renters with short term rentals, 12-month rentals, sublets, shares (i.e. rooms for rent), and of course leasebreaks. In terms of "leasebreaks" - which given our name we may be best known for - often landlords will allow you to break your lease if you can provide a qualified renter to take over your rental apartment.

If you wish to POST your short term rental, leasebreak, sublet, room for rent or 12-month rental on Leasebreak.com, it's easy and free! By pressing the “Post Your Lease” button, you would register and then verify your new account by clicking on the link in the email that is sent to you. Next, you can enter the details for the short term rental, leasebreak sublet, room for rent or 12-month rental, post pictures, and then "submit" your listing. If you are a landlord or a real estate agent with several apartments, you can enter multiple listings and then manage them in your “account”. Your email address will be anonymized at first so prospective renters can contact you without seeing your email address. However, please note that when you respond they will see your email address in the "from" field.
