These days, tenants are also more likely to jump ship to avoid living through construction. Landlords in Manhattan are making deals with tenants who sign long - term leases in Class A , giving them a month or more of free rent a year . On top of discounted rent , building owners are also offering as much as $ 100 per month in space allowances as more apartments in Midtown and elsewhere come on the market and the cost of moving offices is reduced . With companies such as WeWork and Knotel offering large co - working office spaces , flexibility has become more desirable and so bigger incentives are needed to attract long - term deals .
