What padpass handles

The games every NYC renter knows too well.

01

Know the landlord

The building's real record — violations, complaints, heat and repair history from NYC open data — before you tour, not after you sign.

02

Ranked for you

Results ordered by fit for you, not by which landlord or broker paid to show first.

03

Ghosted by brokers

Honest listing status and lower-friction showings — no emailing into the void, hoping someone replies.

04

The fee shuffle

Nearly every listing is no-fee, and any move-in cost is on the card up front. No 15% surprise at signing.

05

Bad listings, flagged

The only search that warns you off red flags and hides stale posts — so you chase real homes, not ghosts.

06

First in line, often

When a place isn't crowded yet, padpass says so plainly — so you move before everyone else does.

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 what's on the market is free. The paid tier unlocks early access to listings before they hit StreetEasy — the edge, not the basics. Nearly every listing is no-fee, with move-in costs shown up front (FARE-aligned, no surprise broker fees).

Where do the signals come from?+

padpass is built around public listing data, 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.
