Im here till the end of the month. After that they will probably spend August refurbishing it, with the goal of renting it out in September.
May also saw the largest year-over-year increase in new listings in nearly four years, with the number apartments listed for rent in Manhattan jumping 34%, to 7,420.
Al, make it 7,421! Or just move to Long Island City Queens. Lower rent and great view of your current apt.
Congrats on the savings! Smart move.
The landlord probably uses that tactic with every tenant who asks for a reduction, thinking that most are bluffing and aren’t willing to move out.
Way to show those NYC scoundrels that you have game!
Moving, If you haven't worn it for 2 years get rid of it; somehow. throw nothing away. charity is still a tax savings.
Don't do it all in a weekend. Take a little at a time, depending on circumstances.
Did I see that 25 % of all apt dwellers are behind on their rent ? (is that in one of the linked articles ?).
Stuff happens; John moved from larger home in Annapolis to smaller home in NJ, now into larger home in Conn. All in less than a year.
Salvation Army wouldn't take some of his larger furniture in Anna so he chained sawed them in pieces and burned it all in his fire pit. Now he needs new stuff to fill the new house.
Don't sweat the small stuff, make the big stuff small stuff and don't sweat that either.

That's a nice way to fund an investment portfolio or retirement fund startup. Budget to invest the 900 NOT spend the 900. Just don't listen to our OTC/Small cap ideas.
Thanks Landlord !
yes, it’s true, 25% of April dwellers are behind. And I actually pay on time. Thx for the advice.
My neighbor has been renting out 2 places on the OC boardwalk for 25+ years from 2 different people. He pays 40K for the one per year from a well known local family who own a couple blocks of the boardwalk stores, he got a big reduction from him on that one due to the COVID issue, not being able to open on a normal schedule and decrease in business.
The other one he pays &80K per year and when he asked the landlord (Philly guy) for a decrease he laughed and said go pound salt. So he did, luckily for him he was contemplating retiring in the next few years anyway and he works his *** off all summer, 16 hour days, 7 days a week. Here we are in July and the place is still vacant and likely will be the rest of the summer/year. For the landlord to think anyone was going to rent this summer when all these businesses are failing is short sighted. Now instead of $60K which is what he offered him, he will get nothing.

Al, You gotta keep track and try to find out what your old Apt. rents out for. I know where I live in NJ we are getting lots of transplants from the city. I want to know if your landlord gets more or less than what you were asking off!
DiBlasio is going down as one of the worst mayors in the history of NYC. Such a clueless buffoon.

Hahaha! Who knew all that Rutgersal bluster was actually backed up with some stones! I have new found respect for Rutgersal. Al, I give my blessing to you to go on other teams boards and tell them that Rutgers is the new Alabama!
You really know a lot about living in NYC "California" Knight.

Using numbers the wrong way is just like lying....like when you compared the deaths due to Covid on March 1st to the deaths due to H1N1 and car crashes for an entire year.....hahahahaha
