No Fee apartment listings in Northern New Jersey....where? (Middlesex: apartment complexes, leasing)

[TfromGowanus]

I simply cannot find a website (besides Craigslist) that lists no-fee apartments in the Northern New Jersey area. Craigslist is simply not trustable.

Does anyone know of a site?
I'm looking for a 1br or studio within a reasonable commuting distance from Midtown Manhattan.

try apartments.com a lot of them are no fee.

Also if you drive by an apartment building and see for rent sign, usually there are no fee.

We used a realtor to help find our apartment & the landlord paid the realtor fee.

We (tenants) paid no fee to the realtor.

This was in Mercer County. She only does a few towns in Mercer, maybe Middlesex County. Any realtor should be the same, the tenant not paying the fee. Phone a few local realtors & ask.

I've never heard of the tenant paying the realtor fee.

Large apartment complexes or buildings usually have their own management offices where you might be able to apply directly. For instance, the Avalon developments (they're all over NJ) have their own offices where you can apply for an apt.

In Northern New Jersey, when a rental listing is listed on the Multiple Listing Service, in almost all cases the tenant pays the realtor fee. Best bet is to search for apartment complexes and go their leasing office direct. Many times those apartments are not listed on the MLS.

this. go straight to the apt complex websites. Craigslist has always been fairly reliable for me however.

not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I recall finding a search engine for garden apartments. Try googling that
