and, income 40x your rent? how do people have apartments that work at, like, Starbucks? -- nm - Andie Feb 3, 09:50 13
- to be completely honest, I have no clue how a lot of people make it work here. - ty97 Feb 3, 10:44
- They're called roommates -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 3, 10:02 3
  - so, everyone applies together to hit your minimum? i assume in reality one person gets a guarantor and THEN gets the roommates. -- nm - Andie Feb 3, 10:09 2
    - I think it would depend the renter if allows for multiple people to sign the lease -- nm - JD Feb 3, 10:15 1
      - My exp in san fran was, one person, or couple sign the lease so its based on their income, but you could go 50% of your monthly inc for rent - zeitgeist Feb 3, 11:06
- I don't know if the rules are as stringent outside of Manhattan. But like recent college graduates have to have their parents as guarantors - ty97 Feb 3, 09:56 6
  - How difficult is it in NYC for a landlord to get rid of a tenant who falls behind on their rent? - Roger More Feb 3, 10:20 4
    - Very difficult. It takes months to go through the courts and the laws and protections very much favor the tenants today -- nm - Krusty Feb 3, 11:03 1
      - is there still stringent rent control? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 3, 11:08
    - My dad represented some landlords there years ago. He said it was very hard. -- nm - loosilu Feb 3, 10:41
    - I'm not sure of the details, but know that we have strong tenant protections -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 10:40
  - It's the same in the boroughs unless you can get a place directly through the owner. -- nm - Krusty Feb 3, 09:59
- They don't, they live in the stockroom. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 3, 09:52
