Frequently Asked Questions
Need more help?Requesting a price is free and there's no obligation to move forward, but keep in mind that you will only receive an offer if your unit fits our criteria. This is always changing so you can check back in a week or two to see if we have updated or expanded the criteria.
As of February 2020 units must:
- Be located in New York City below 60th street in Manhattan or in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
- Entire studio or one bedroom apartment
- Not a shared space
- Lease end date must be 5 to 11 months away
- Your estimated move out should be within the next 45 days
- Rent price of $2,900 or lower
- Most landlords will allow you to find a qualified replacement tenant if you need to leave early, and that is the only prerequisite required for Flip to be allowed in your building. If you decide you want to move forward, our team will get in touch with your landlord or property manager, explain how Flip works and confirm that they are okay with Flip finding them a new tenant.
- We will start paying your rent for the next calendar month (and bill you for any days before our takeover date) unless you purchase Flip Instant in the last ten days of the month. In this case, you will pay next month's rent and we will reimburse you for the days after our takeover date.
We’ll make sure you get your deposit back when your original lease ends. You will report any damages when you leave your apartment, so if anything happens while a new tenant is living there it will be deducted from their deposit not yours.
When we send you a price quote it's always going to be based on market dynamics that affect how many people want an apartment like yours on that given day, and therefore how risky it will be for us to takeover your lease. Because of this, we are not able to honor any requests made more than twenty four hours ago.
- You tell us when you're moving! Any quote you receive is valid for a move-out happening in the next 45 days.
We're not currently offering monthly payments for Flip Instant but hope to bring this back soon.
