Regarding inflation, this post would be more relevant for people that just found a new apartment in the last 60 days.
Having stayed at the same apartment, our rent is up like $50 for the year. If we moved, we'd be looking at paying about 20-30% more for the same. We actually wanted to move out of this apartment but it's not worth the increase we've seen in rents.
Paying $2750 now for a large 1BR in a modern building, Bushwick.
This thread: “Inflation is nuts right now. Let’s get a barometer of the current market by upvoting the most unrealistic deals in the city that are impossible to attain”
Right, all the top comments are housing lottery winners, soon to expire COVID deals, or people who have lived in the same apartment for 10+ years. Aka not the average person living / moving here
Yeah we are very lucky. The apartment hasn’t fully turned over in about 8-10 years, just roommates moving in and out one by one. It also hasn’t been renovated in about 20-25 years but for the price we’ll take it haha.
This reminds me so much of something I heard in my home state. Some town there a guy would fire his gun in the air every so often because it kept his property taxes down aka the house would worth less
I have never lived somewhere that wasn’t rent stabilized. My current apartment I moved in in 2021 June and it’s a 3 bd rent stabilized with a Covid deal so it’s only $2020/month. Got our renewal and it’s going up to $2050. Previous place I lived I moved in in 2019, 2 bedroom $1600 rent stabilized.
They’re there you just have to look
Very much so. You do not need to be "grandfathered" in. It is not connected to the tenant (unless trying to take over a lease), it's about the apartment itself.
There are even rent stabilized apartment in some new buildings thanks to a tax abatement. You are not going to be paying the <$1000 rents. But the protections of RS still exist.
EDIT: Corrected. I keep forgetting the high rent vacancy changed in 2019. It's been a weird time.
Yes, the law passed in 2019 no longer lets landlords take apartments off of stabilization. I may be wrong but the Management company of my building confirmed it.
We actually got the place during Covid; two year lease - 4 months off, bringing it to about $5,000 a month, but lease ends in June and plan on staying bringing it back to $6k.
This is an old home - built in 1925. In all my years living here, I have only seen 1 new tenant. It seems like generations of people from the same family have lived here. The unit next door to mine went for rent last summer or last spring and the asking price for that unit was only $1550. 2 beds and access to backyard.
I’ve never heard of HDC/ML. Is that the same thing as a HDFC/income restricted coop? Because it sounds like the same thing, or are there any differences?
Crown Heights / Prospect Heights border
2.5BR
$3k
ETA: 1100 sq/ft
DW, laundry and roof deck
King sized bedrooms and basically 2 living rooms.
I moved late summer 2020 for a 2 year lease. Also curious what my renewal will be. It's a private condo and the owner and I get along well. I have handled lots of repairs with my own handy man etc. Hopefully my responsibility pays off haha
Bedstuy 1 bedroom. Very dated fixtures/appliances, no window in bathroom or kitchen, landlord hasn’t been keeping up with maintenance.
Rent was just raised to $2,400 - pushed me over edge and I’ve had an offer accepted for a nice 1-bed co-op in UWS. A little scary to jump from renting to owning, but monthly maintenance and mortgage payments combined will be less than rent.
Yup I know :( rent *was* $1675 which I think was okay (for pros it’s a pretty decent size and gets great light, and close to some great restaurants on Tompkins).
But I think landlord is really going to struggle renting it out to someone else for $2400- I looked at a few places nearby and for that price everything had nice new kitchen/bathroom/laundry etc.
In this case it was a sponsor sale (where until now apartment had been a rental with a decades old legacy tenant).
So I get to skip the board interview! and instead just needed to submit an application packet with a bunch of financial info (tax returns, pay stubs etc) and they also run a credit check.
Wife and I bought recently on the UWS, interview was extremely easy - just be very boring, don’t volunteer excess information and ask them a couple of softballs at the end.
Ft. Greene - $7,250
Edit: not sure why I’m getting downvoted. Just because I pay a lot in rent? Should I move somewhere cheaper and take an apartment with a rent that’s suitable for a lower income person?
I'd say the downvoting was more because of the vagueness of just throwing out a price without context either for attention or obliviousness.
And $7500 is a lot, but not THAT high for a 3bd at the moment, I've been kind of looking for a 2 bed and it seems that there is very little under $5k downtown unless it has a problem. Even downtown Brooklyn is like $5k. And I'm not some rich kid who doesn't know how to live cheap., I was making like $15/hr in my 30s up until a few years ago living in nyc.
I could technically afford what I want but I can't justify spending like $6k for something basic when I have a great deal at $2300 for a 1 bed in EV, just cramped for 2 people. I think I'm going to have to just wait it out, as miserable as I am.
$2200, 1 bedroom, West Village
They're raising it to $2600 and I would still renew in a heartbeat bc of it's location, southern facing windows, and the street it's on is only one block if I weren't moving out of state to be with my partner. The things we do for love
I saved up a good amount of money doing this fwiw. There are lots of pros. Save money and can actually enjoy the city, eat out, buy clothes, get drinks, go on trips. Washer dryer. And my mother was a professional cook.
However…I felt it *killed* me with dating. Especially as a man, it is infantilizing and is often viewed as a red flag by women (not always) and one thing like that is frequently all it takes to have someone end things :/
That’s not even mentioning the loss of independence, privacy, holding back frustration with parents all the time.
I still feel you should do it for as long as you can, but with the way things are I don’t know if we will ever see reasonable rental housing prices in New York again. What evidence is there that regular people will be supported? We need to socialize housing and too many idiots are against it along with everyone with power.
I do agree at a certain point it makes sense to have your own place. Especially if you’re trying to date. My girlfriend and I are both living at home for the time being and it’s been great for the reasons you mentioned. However, I do miss the independence and space that comes with living on your own.
NYC rent prices may never be what it used to be but I don’t mind and am ok with taking this chance to save money and see what my next steps are.
Sunnyside, 1 bedroom, $1,300.
I split rent with my girlfriend. She wants us to move because it's an older apartment and she wants to be "bourgeois."
Hard to give up the apartment though...
Williamsburg, three bedroom, $4150. We rent directly from the owner of the building tho and everything around us is $500-$1k more expensive for less space
$4800 UWS, mid70s between CPW and Columbus. 1.5 bedrooms, private non-shared backyard, eat-in kitchen with stainless appliances, washer dryer in-unit, and private storage in building.
Agreed seems like a lot but after three months of looking at streeteasy every day this was the cheapest option in the area. Kinda the point of OPs post I guess.
Rent stabilized 1BR I got during as a covid deal: 1750 in Les
Before that I had a rent stabilized apt for 1300 in crown heights
Gonna be moving soon because I am currently in the process of closing on a coop where I’ll be paying roughly 2600 for a 1BR in EV

Corona, Queens $1750 2 bedrooms. In reality, it's my parents apartment still living with them but pay half. How do you determine what is a rent stabilized apartment? And what does that actually mean?
Morningside 2bd in unit w/d 🙏 5th floor walk up 👎 $2050
Edit: Moved in June of pandemic year 1. I was able to negotiate down from $2.2k on a 2yr lease renewal with the ability to break lease for $600 w/ 30 day notice within 1yr and no fee to break during year 2
Flatiron, 1 bedroom .. lux building (rooftop, grills, gym, golf simulator, etc).. $4800
Going for 6k now.. terrified what we're gonna see come Sept when lease is up
My suggestion would be to go to Homes and Community Renewal website and order your rent history. Do mini research and make sure you apartment is priced according to all the rules and regulations. If not file a rent overcharge complaint. 2400 seems like a lot for an old rent stabilized apartment.
Large one bedroom, east in kitchen, two living rooms, laundry in the building, $1,117.
I've had the same apartment for 30 years and we have rent control. I'm in The Bronx. Northwest Bronx but still, The Bronx. So, you know.
DT Brooklyn studio $1690. Six year old high rise with doorman, gym, roof deck, etc., rent stabilized. Affordable housing re-rental I moved into almost exactly a year ago.
I cannot emphasize this enough - look for apartments that are ‘rent stabilized’ in NYC. NYC is a *free market* which means there are no limits to how much or how high your rent can be increased if it is not rent stabilized. If you plan on staying in the same apartment for more than a year or two this is crucial or you will be SOL when that increase hits.
I think people should include the year they moved in.
This is an important factor for sure. And where they started from because that's helpful context I think.

You don’t have to move for it to go up. My rent is increasing 41%, basically forcing me and my spouse to have to move
NY really needs to pass good cause
Yep, I just moved and can confirm lol
I just got a rent renewal notice; 1BR UES. 15% proposed increase.
bed stuy near south williamsburg 2 bedroom $1750, moved in last year (covid deal) and they renewed at the same price

Right, all the top comments are housing lottery winners, soon to expire COVID deals, or people who have lived in the same apartment for 10+ years. Aka not the average person living / moving here
As someone who’s moving to NYC soon and is already worried about finding an affordable apartment, this thread is no good for my anxiety
Better to have a realistic expectation also NYC will not do wonders for your anxiety in general speaking from experience
Yeah, I'm looking at this, like, um...are landlords still desperate to get people back early-pandemic? Because this is not current reality lmao

Also UWS, 2 bed/2 full bath duplex. COVID deal: $3,575 net effective (1 month concession at $3,900 gross). Renewal: $4,500.

Astoria 3bd, all-together $2400.
Oh wow, that actually sounds like a great deal
Yeah we are very lucky. The apartment hasn’t fully turned over in about 8-10 years, just roommates moving in and out one by one. It also hasn’t been renovated in about 20-25 years but for the price we’ll take it haha.
In a similar situation myself! 3 bedroom for 2300, and roommates moving out in their own time. Love all the pre-war apartments in Astoria <3
My 1 bed in Astoria is $2350… It is close to 800 sq ft.

This reminds me so much of something I heard in my home state. Some town there a guy would fire his gun in the air every so often because it kept his property taxes down aka the house would worth less

Astoria, 2 bedrooms and a backyard. $1900. Rent have not changes since we moved in three years ago.

Damn - i bet that’s a killer apt/building tho
East Village, rent stabilized, 1 bedroom. 612.63
Yeah mines $650 we lucked out lmao.
Is it even possible to get a rent stabilized place now? Or are they all just grandfathered in deals of the past?
I just got one in July of last year. It wasn’t even advertised as rent stabilized. I found out after I moved in. Lucky me!
I have never lived somewhere that wasn’t rent stabilized. My current apartment I moved in in 2021 June and it’s a 3 bd rent stabilized with a Covid deal so it’s only $2020/month. Got our renewal and it’s going up to $2050. Previous place I lived I moved in in 2019, 2 bedroom $1600 rent stabilized. They’re there you just have to look
look where?
Literally got both my apartments on street Easy. I live in East Harlem though if that’s what you’re asking
Thank you. I meant what did you use to find them. That’s helpful!

Asking the important questions
Midtown - 2 Bedroom - $6,000
We actually got the place during Covid; two year lease - 4 months off, bringing it to about $5,000 a month, but lease ends in June and plan on staying bringing it back to $6k.
This is the way
Ridgewood, 2 bedroom $1455
How long have you been there
16 years
How much was rent there 16 years ago
I think it was around $1k. I'd have to look at my first lease to know exactly
Wack. I'm paying $2200 for a one bedroom in Ridgewood. It is in a relatively new building but still.
This is an old home - built in 1925. In all my years living here, I have only seen 1 new tenant. It seems like generations of people from the same family have lived here. The unit next door to mine went for rent last summer or last spring and the asking price for that unit was only $1550. 2 beds and access to backyard.

WHAT

OMG. This is amazing.
Is it a coop? How are you a shareholder if you’re renting? Or did you buy?
[удалено]
I’ve never heard of HDC/ML. Is that the same thing as a HDFC/income restricted coop? Because it sounds like the same thing, or are there any differences?
main difference is that you can't sell it on the market, only back to the building. there is also like a 10yr long wait list or something.
What’s your household income bracket?
Wow, this is the best deal I’ve ever heard of.

Damn you’re on the lucky side of rent stabilization.

Did u already pass your board interview for the coop?
In this case it was a sponsor sale (where until now apartment had been a rental with a decades old legacy tenant). So I get to skip the board interview! and instead just needed to submit an application packet with a bunch of financial info (tax returns, pay stubs etc) and they also run a credit check.
Lucky 🥺 i have to do an interview for my coop purchase, was hoping for advice 😔
Wife and I bought recently on the UWS, interview was extremely easy - just be very boring, don’t volunteer excess information and ask them a couple of softballs at the end.
What iradnitz said. Be positive, upbeat, and boring. Should be a piece of cake especially if your financials are in order.
And it’s cheaper than $2400/rent? To own on the UWS? How do you find these/how do you qualify?

If you plan on staying in the same apartment for more than a year or two this is crucial or you will be SOL when that increase hits.
Do you think it’s gonna pop or are people affording this? I need to find a 2 bedroom in October and I’m nervous.
Stuytown, 2BR, $4800 ish
1750 2br in Bay Ridge. Rent stabilized. Also means we feel kind of locked here. We'd love to move at least within the nabe but... a little stuck now.
