The Simple Version

1. About the Service

Leaseswap is an apartment search and alert platform focused on New York City rentals. Our Service allows you to:

• •Search for apartment listings using natural language queries and advanced filters
• •Filter by commute time, distance to points of interest, and amenities
• •Create alerts to be notified when matching listings become available
• •Save and organize listings with personal notes

2. Listing Data Disclaimer

Listings may be outdated, already rented, incorrectly priced, or contain errors. You must independently verify all listing information directly with the landlord, property manager, or listing broker before making any rental decisions.

3. Third-Party Content & Attribution

Leaseswap displays listing information sourced from third-party websites and platforms. Each listing includes a link to the original source. We provide attribution and do not claim ownership of third-party content.

Our commute time calculations use OpenStreetMap data and the Valhalla routing engine. Geographic and point-of-interest data is provided by OpenStreetMap contributors under the Open Database License (ODbL).

Your use of linked third-party services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies.

4. Fair Housing Commitment

If you believe a listing contains discriminatory content or violates Fair Housing laws, please report it to us at [email protected].
