Have people been able to view multiple units after being approved (if they qualify for various # of bedrooms)? They assign a unit beforehand, but can you see more options/floors/lines once you're there in person, and choose?
I noticed some HC developments offering 2 months free rent on leases, does Ruby do something similar?
Ruby is offering 2 month promo but don’t think it applies to lottery applicants. I’d like to know for sure too as I’m signing the lease tomorrow.
Will do. I was hoping to hear it from someone who has already moved in!
dont imagine them giving any month free for lottery tenants, they are never going to have any difficulty filling up a unit. I'd imagine for every unit available and being processed there are multiple people in line who would sign the lease in a second if they were being considered.
Usually giving a month free is just a tactic many landlords use to attract and fill up a building, I can speak from experience moving is one of life's most painful things to do and a lot of tenants just sign the next year at higher rents as moving is usually always more expensive than paying a little more rent.
If you could please share pictures or video of the unit if you already had your viewing

A building I was reached out in Astoria offered 1 month free to lottery folks but when the time I was reached they didn’t offer that and then the lottery went on live on housing connect again it was recently.
I wish they would offer free months to lottery folks but building like Ruby located in desired area will never offer free months to lottery folks. They will have no problem to fill up the units that’s for sure people won’t say no to this building BUT I you did find out they do please let us know

No free months were offered to me. And I’m pretty sure the “free month” for regular renters is them just dividing up that one month’s price and adding it on to the other months in the lease
Can confirm as I've scheduled my viewing- once you're assigned a unit they won't let you switch to another, so if you qualify for multiple and have a # of bedrooms preference be sure to share before they send to HPD.
Congratulations! Would you mind sharing what line you're on? So far I haven't seen anyone on the same line as me! lol
What line and unit size were you assigned, and what ami/preference do you have ?
Good to know that you were able to ask all your options.
That is definitely in line with HPD, cuz once they approve you they do it for the listed unit and changing it would mean going through the process again which the agent or hpd wouldn't want to

Thats great, sometimes landlords agents will do it to entice people breaking a lease and moving asap.
One lottery unit I was considered for offered the 1 month free but the lease had to start within a few days of getting approved by HPD
Ruby's rents for market rate are definitely on the higher end if you dont factor in the monthly non discounted rent, the two months does def bring down net effective rent for the first year or two depending on how long you sign the lease for.
