So guess what loyal-blog readers. Mere hours ago girlfriend C. and I gave a large chunk of money a broker and a landlord … and are moving in together!
It’ll be the first time I have ever truly lived with a girl, without having my own place as a back-up. I’m very excited!
It is a biiigggg, sunny one-bedroom above the Duane Reade on Ninth Ave. and W. 49th St. , a few blocks from my current place. The renovations aren’t that modern, but it’s a great location and about 800 sq. feet.
The lease starts May 15, a little sooner than we would have liked, but all the brokers told us rents go up June 1 once the students arrive.
More deets TK.
P.S. It is also right above a methadone clinic!
First things first — a woman, not a girl.
Otherwise, congrats!
I’m technically a woman, and I prefer the term “girl” which is more informal. So, to each her own, ariana.
Wooah, big step, man… and its so adult. (shiver)
Hi Judy, We have been renting from a mangaement company privately owned town home. We have been here for 4 months. When we first moved in we put on our move in list that fireplace and dryer were not working. They sent someone out and then charged us to fix them $60 each. From the begining the refrigerator was having issues either freezing or was full of water, but now has stopped working all together. We have had lots of rain in the last 2 weeks and have a huge leak in the roof. We have sent emails and made phone calls and no answer from mangaement company and it has been over 2 weeks now. What are our rights and what do we have to pay for and why. There is a clause that we have to pay for repairs. But we are confused how you can charge us for repairs of things that were broken when we moved in. Shouldn’t everything be in working order? And are we going to have to pay for any of these other repairs? And how long do we have to wait for a refrigerator??? Any help would be great!Thank you
