In Manhattan, December leasing activity closely matched 2019 levels while median rent remained unchanged for the past 90 days.

Disappointed in the lack of further rent relief, many of Manhattan's renters responded by staying put.

Quite simply, there is intense demand for housing in New York City—people want to be here.
