The #1 mistake NYC landlords make with CityFHEPS (and how it costs them months of rent)

Most landlords don’t lose money because of bad tenants —

they lose money because of bad process.

The biggest mistake I see with CityFHEPS is this:

👉 Treating it like a normal market rental.

Here’s what actually matters:

• Proper screening without violating Fair Housing

• Knowing which docs delay approval (and which don’t matter)

• Working with the right caseworker, not just any one

• Structuring rent + lease terms so payments stay smooth

When this is done right, units get filled faster than market rate.

Question for the group:

What’s your biggest concern with CityFHEPS right now —

A) Delays

B) Tenant eligibility ending

C) Nonpayment

D) Screening

E) Something else?
