SubletNY vs Furnished Finder for furnished stays in NYC
Use Furnished Finder when your housing search is national, when you want landlords who already set up their places for 13-week contracts, or when you want to search around a specific hospital in a city other than New York. Use SubletNY when the assignment is in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens: the inventory is sublets from leaseholders rather than landlord-run units, nobody pays to list, and there are pages for the neighbourhoods around each major hospital and campus.
Facts about Furnished Finder are taken from the sources listed at the end and were last checked on October 28, 2026. Furnished Finder is not affiliated with SubletNY.
Feature by feature
| Feature | Furnished Finder | SubletNY |
|---|---|---|
| Who lists | Landlords and hosts of furnished mid-term rentals across the United States; the audience is traveling professionals, above all travel nurses. | NYC leaseholders subletting their own place, plus clearly labelled reposts of public listings; reposts never enter the search index. |
| Cost to list | A yearly fee per property with no booking commission; third-party guides checked on the date below report $199 per year for the first property. The current figure is on Furnished Finder's pricing page. | Free. |
| Cost to rent | Free. No service or booking fees for tenants. | Free. No broker fee and no service fee; SubletNY does not take payments. |
| Stay length | 30 days or more. | 30 days or longer, by exact dates, so a search for "June 1 to August 15" only shows places free for those dates. |
| Verification | Landlords complete an identity verification before a listing goes live; tenants send housing requests. The site does not process payments or mediate disputes. | The lister confirms their email with a one-time code before the listing goes live; listings pinned outside New York City are rejected; reposts are labelled as such. |
| How you make contact | A housing request to the landlord; lease, screening and payment are arranged directly. | A contact form on every listing reaches the lister directly. Renters can also save a search and be emailed when a matching listing is posted. |
| Coverage | Nationwide. | Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, with a page per neighbourhood showing live counts and asking prices. |
When Furnished Finder is the better choice
- Any city other than New York, or an assignment that moves between cities.
- Landlords who run furnished units as a business and are used to contract dates and hospital schedules.
- A landlord-run unit rather than a tenant's own apartment, if that is what you prefer.
When SubletNY is the better choice
- Depth in New York: sublets from leaseholders in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens that a national directory does not see.
- Free for the person listing, so a leaseholder away for a 13-week stretch can post without a yearly fee.
- Pages for the neighbourhoods near NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, Columbia, Bellevue and the other hospitals and campuses, with the listings closest first.
