How Credible is NoFeeRentalByOwner.com ?
Came across their website, Nofeerentalbyowner.com and I notice their postings in a variety of areas in the boroughs. But i noticed too their fee to access the landlord contacts. So I want to know has anyone attempted to rent through them and what happened? or are you currently living somewhere that was found through their services?
Any feedback is appreciated.

Yes. My suspicions were on point. Seems very shady.

I have seen the website but don't know anyone that ever used them. I would be careful.

"No fee" means "no broker fee" which in NYC is usually thousands of dollars (I believe it's 12% of a year's rent). The access fee charged by "No fee" rental sites can be anywhere from a nominal fee of $30 for a bare bones site (when I first moved to NYC in 2000, I used a site like this to get my first apartment--I figured if it was a scam, how bad can $30 be?) to $250 for more elaborate sites.
To the OP--Do your research, there are plenty of reputable no fee sites out there. The fact that they charge you doesn't mean it's a scam at all. No fee sites help NYers get around the crushing hold real estate brokers have on the market. Anything that undermines their virtual monopoly is a good thing.

There are plenty of no fee rentals on Craigslist anyway.

I'd say there are 10 agents posting as owner and under the "no fee" category to 1 real "no fee" listing on craigslist (from my experience in the last month). Maybe it's different in Manhattan, but in Brooklyn all I do is flag 'em and flag 'em and flag 'em. They're even creepy, crawling their way through Trulia.....
