Why we are free to you

How does Urban Igloo work ? The answer is that we get paid directly from the landlords when we bring them YOU.... a credit-worthy tenant who has just found his or her perfect apartment, townhouse, or home. We represent your interest, and are paid by Landlords and owners to fill a vacancy. We do not work on the Landlord's behalf.

Urban Igloo is paid a fee, or a commission, by the owner of the rental, normally equivalent to one month's rent for the 12 month lease, and two months' rent for a lease of 13-36 months. Whether you are on your own or with Urban Igloo, you will not get charged more by the Landlord. However, in some cases a Landlord pay us less than a month's rent for the hard work we do on your behalf, so we look to you to support us and ensure we get paid the difference. That's not very often. And, if you happen not to find the perfect place in our inventory, we'll stick with you as we do "paid by renter" searches as well, just like rental agents in New York.

Don't trek around the city trying to find an apartment or house on your own! You'll waste valuable time poring through newspaper ads, arranging to meet landlords who may never show, and taking public transportation to hard-to-find addresses. You'll waste valuable energy trying to compare costs and benefits without the help of our state-of-the-art database with all the best apartments. Plus, you'll miss out on the fun of working with our cool Urban Igloo staff!
