When it comes to renting over owner, New York City is where it's at. Around 60% of residents within the city are renters. But, even with these outstanding numbers, the NYC rental market is saturated with inefficiencies for both the renters, the leasers, and everyone in between.
Thankfully the NYC startup UpTop recognizes this, so it built an end-to-end platform that combines a rental listing search engine with property management software. This platform serves both renters and property managers.
