The term is common when searching for apartments\u00a0 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/apartments-for-rent\/new-york-ny\">New York City<\/a>, especially during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/is-now-a-good-time-to-rent\/\">off-peak<\/a> winter season. This is when landlords increasingly offer rental incentives. You can find a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/what-does-net-effective-rent-actually-mean-and-what-do-i-end-up-paying\/\">deeper discussion of net effective rent on our rental guide<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Example of Net Effective Rent<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here is a simple example. When a landlord is asking for $3600 monthly gross rent, but is offering 1 month free on a 12 month lease. The net effective rent is the gross * (12 months &#8211; 1 free month) \/ (12 months). In this case, $3600 * 11\/12 = $3300 net effective.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This structure is useful for comparing rent in a building offering renter incentives to a building that is not. However, keep in mind the net effective is not guaranteed after the initial lease period &#8211; in fact without further negotiation, you can expect to pay the gross after the initial lease period.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2_gold.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"775\" height=\"427\" \/><br \/>Also, not all calculations are 1 month free on 12 months. This week&#8217;s inventory from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/building\/2-gold-street-new-york-ny-10038\">2 Gold Street<\/a>, a popular financial district high rise, has 3 different structures in the fine print! You get 1 month free on 12 for a studio, 1.5 months free on a 2 or 3 bedroom, except one listing, unit 5012, offers 2 months free on a 16 month lease. In every case, the &#8220;rent&#8221; column shows the net effective already, so to compute your gross at renewal, you would need to do the math backwards!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: We updated this article to enhance readability.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The net effective rent is the monthly amount the tenant pays to the landlord after factoring in incentives.
