NYC apartment hunting shouldn’t feel rigged.

On July 13, 2026, the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the industry's First Amendment challenge and upheld the denial of an injunction. The FARE Act is here to stay.

01

Search the way you would talk to a great broker

PadPass learns what matters to you, answers questions, refines your options, and helps you move from search to showing.

02

Ranked for you

Results ordered by your preferences — not which landlord, broker, or property manager paid to appear first.

03

Know the building before you tour

DOB violations, 311 complaints, plumbing issues, failed rodent inspections, and other relevant public records before deciding whether a place is worth visiting.

04

Verified listings, before the crowd

We constantly verify available listings across thousands of landlords and their listing representatives, then triage against major platforms so you can move early and avoid the most crowded opportunities.

05

Save time, get ahead

PadPass handles the messages, coordinates your tours, and sends the details straight to your phone and calendar. You just show up. No games. No endless back-and-forth.

FAQ

Straight answers. No games.

Is PadPass live now?+

Not yet — we're building. Join the waitlist for early access and you'll be among the first renters in when PadPass opens.

Does PadPass cost anything?+

Searching listings already on StreetEasy is free. PadPass Concierge costs $20 for 5 days with no subscription or automatic renewal, and unlocks additional listings, continuously verified inventory, tour coordination, and mediated communication with landlords and/or their listing representatives.

Where do the signals come from?+

PadPass is built around our state-of-the-art data pipelines, public records, and lawful market signals. We keep observed facts, context, and guesses separate.

Is every listing definitely available?+

No — NYC moves too fast for anyone to promise that. PadPass tracks how fresh each listing is, flags the ones going stale, and hides what's likely gone — so you spend time on places still in play.

Will this replace brokers?+

No. PadPass is for renters who want less noise, more context, and lower-friction coordination. It does not promise to remove every human from the process.
