Hello! I am looking for someone to take over my lease in Bed-Stuy. The unit is located on Lafayette between Nostrand and Marcy. It is about a 4-5 minute walk from the Bedford - Nostrand G and about a 2-3 minute walk from the B44. Herbert Von King park is also about a 5 minute walk away.
The unit is 2 bedrooms with one bathroom. It's on the 2nd floor, and there is no elevator in the building. The bedrooms can both accommodate queen beds. Here is a video tour of the unit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK6dPO3b004
The unit will largely come unfurnished, but I can keep the following items there if there is interest: kitchen bar cart, microwave, kitchen table and two chairs, and an IKEA armoire.
The kitchen has a dishwasher, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of cabinet space Each room has a split A/C unit. There is a washer and dryer in the building accessible via the basement (one flight of stairs required). The building is wired for FIOS internet, which has been really reliable
The management company has an online portal for maintenance requests and are quite responsive to any issues in the unit.
There are plenty of great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and grocery stores within close walking distance (5-10 minutes)
I am the current tenant of the apartment. I've lived here for about a year and a half and really like the space and neighborhood! I'm only moving mid-lease because I'm relocating to a different part of Brooklyn. I'll be the one showing the unit and will connect whoever is interested with the management company to transfer the lease.
The earliest date for the lease takeover is Feb 15 and the lease ends June 30. The landlord also said they would most likely give whoever takes over the lease the option to renew for the following year.

For the lease takeover, a month security deposit is required ($2,900) as well as one month’s rent ($2,900)
The landlord requires a credit score over 700 and income greater than or equal to one month’s rent
The building allows pets (cats and dogs)
