i moved into my apartment september 1st of this year. we noticed the smell of gas shortly after moving in but it would come and go. we reported it to our landlord on september 25th but no one came to inspect it. since the smell wasn’t consistent and our landlords were brushing us off we didn’t think it was serious. today we had coned come because we were having trouble setting up our account. when they walked in they checked our stove and immediately turned off our gas and let us know we had a gas leak. do we have the right to ask any sort of rent reimbursement considering we reported the problem and no one came to fix it?

As title states, me (23M) and another roommate (24M) are looking for a similar and 3rd roommate for 3br/2ba. Move in date ASAP with latest being 11/15. Our budgets are around $2k so we are targeting apartments ~$6k. Looking for apartments in downtown manhattan, open to most neighborhoods. Message me if you fit the description and you’re chill.

Hey, I'm looking for a one month sublet, contacted a guy on Facebook. He is the only person on Facebook that did not immediately strike me as a scam or a bot. He had an actual Facebook profile with history and pictures, etc.. He said he is starting rotation at med school in sublet his studio on the upper east side out for 2.5k.

I am very wary of scans since I've encountered a few, but he immediately responded saying I could come check the place out. My question is: any way I can confirm it's not a scam even if I see the spot?

No real red flags so far but just wondering. Only sublet from friend before

Hi everyone,

I'm searching for a furnished apartment in Queens to rent for a period of 5 months, starting December 1st, with a budget of around $2000. Ideally, I'm looking for a place with at least one bedroom.

If you have any leads or know of any listings that fit this criteria, please let me know. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello,

After talking to a few people in my building who are moving out, they all said that the management increased the rent by over 1k. Our building was normally rent stabilized and then was purchased by a big management company last year. The rent stabilization should’ve lasted until may of 2025 but everyone said management didn’t allow rent stabilization anymore. I believe that this building falls under the good cause law since it’s built before 2009, more than 10 apartments, not owned by a small landlord etc.

How do I ensure that they’ll actually let me enforce this law, instead of being the rich company who threatens to just use their lawyers?

Hello, I’ve been going through hell trying to secure housing after my current apartment experienced a bad fire + my roommates leaving - so much so that now I am staying in my old place past my lease, kinda squatting because I have no where to go. I desperately want to be in my own energy after dealing with bad roommate and housing situations that have been so traumatic, so I planned a year ago to put all my efforts into finding a place on my own.

In that I have experienced the following:

• I got scammed for housing earlier on StreetEasy, losing a significant amount of money, literally got sent a lease and was told I was secured for a place + it would be refundable, although I never got to see the apartment. (I know… very stupid mistake, but a learning lesson) Now I have to pursue legal action, which I also have to search for, and will take any advice on how to best do this.

• Found a beautiful apartment, but was told by the broker that I had to submit a $1000 deposit on the apartment for my application to be reviewed, that was also “refundable” and of course once I pushed back and asked for other ways to do this, I got ghosted (which may have been a blessing)

• Traveled an hour plus from where I am in Brooklyn to see an apartment in Homecrest that the broker said they would move an appointment to meet with me, to be stranded there, and told they “canceled on me” although I have receipt of them asking to confirm our viewing for today… to ultimately get my application declined.

• Plus a multitude of weird scamming emails after reaching out to people on sites I once thought were reputable (Zillow, Redfin, Trulia) talking about how they no longer live in the city and require a deposit for keys to be mailed to me, with no chance of viewing the apartment.

My budget for a studio or 1bedroom is $1650 max and I’m looking in Brooklyn + Queens and even Jersey now mostly and have found places in this range but it’s been possible but I don’t want to live in a basement that could potentially flood, or live in a place that is almost unlivable as the place I am now.

I don’t know what to do now, I understand it is likely I may have to go the roommate route unless anyone has advice on how I can find a place of my own. Do I have to sell my soul to get a safe place to rest my head and store my belongings? Wtf should I do?

Any advice, help or leads to apartments in the BK or surrounding areas will be great as well. Thanks!

So while I’m in the process of fixing my credit. Where can I find long term sublets besides leasebreak. Everything on that website is pretty limited. Facebook groups doesn’t help at all because everyone is looking for a sublet. Project listing is for short term sublet. Craigslist is so sketchy to me. I don’t know why.. Help!

I recently renewed my lease for one year on a rent stabilized unit. There is a big chance I will end up breaking it to move to another apartment. If I end up breaking the lease, would the landlord charge me for the remaining months worth of rent plus have another person already occupying the unit paying rent as well?

Our management company is trying to show our apartment while we're not home. We feel uncomfortable with strangers coming in with all our belongings there etc, and we are not. Is this standard practice in NY?

I moved to a new apartment in September in Brooklyn. Obviously because it’s New York, it’s kinda pricey. I thought it would be worth it considering I have a washer and drier and the place is super nice. When I moved in, the place wasn’t exactly ready for someone to live in it. For the first two weeks of my first month the electricity wasn’t even on. They told me it was an issue with the electric company and to ask them to help. Turns out they labeled my braker wrong 😒. Adding on, my refrigerator was filled with flies and maggots and I had to completely disinfect it. My tub and sink don’t drain, and lastly and most annoyingly, my washer was filled with nasty standing water and mold. Not to mention the dryer doesn’t work. I disinfected the washer to the best of my ability but I have acquired some type of skin infection and I assume it’s from that (sorry TMI). I have reached out to the company several times and they keep saying they will put a maintenance ticket in for me, but no one comes. Now they don’t even respond. Is it appropriate to request a deduction on my rent? Should I go to the city and report them? I’m really upset, as I work really hard to afford a nice place, and it turned out like this.

Don't sleep on one park point if that fits your needs! I had a great experience and signed my lease and will be moving in soon!! Can't wait to get there and make some new friends!!!

Trying to help a friend out. Being paid cash ($5k/mo), does not have a gaurantor. Is looking for a 1br anywhere in manhattan. Stable job as a nanny. Has an 18yo daughter who lives with her. Thank you.

Has anyone had to break their lease? What is the process? My partner and I separated after he cheated. He said he would stay in the apartment but now says since I’m leaving he wants to break it. What is that process in NYC? And any fees? Just want to minimize the damage if possible

Hi all! I'm looking for a new subletter or potential lease takeover for my 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment unit on Upper West Side. This is very close to Columbia University and comes with an in-unit washer/dryer. The rent will be $2665.96. This unit is on the first floor of a 5 floor walkup.

I live in an apartment building with open stairs so sounds from the lobby can easily be heard on the 6th floor because of the echoes. There’s this dog on the third floor that barks from 9am-6pm straight every single weekday when the owners are working. It’s been going on for months. These people aren’t even allowed to have pets on their lease. I’ve contacted the landlord who says he can’t do much, even after mentioning that they’re not allowed to have pets. Ive been sending him videos for two weeks straight through email to which he never replies to. I have also contacted 311 and 911, nothing happened. Has anyone been through anything similar and knows what to do?

How much will they charge me for this? My security deposit is $1,000. I fucked up by pulling a 3M tape thingy that I used to hold my cables. TIA
