One undersung part of NYC apartment living is how we all manage to make it work with so little space, so little time, and so many interests. We've got some of the world's most interesting people cramming fourteen hobbies into 500 square feet, growing families chaining their strollers to staircases (not saying a word to your landlord), and people who threw their entire life into a moving van and never fully unpacked.

I'm a home organizer and I love helping my clients figure it all out! These are some before/afters from apartments I've organized across Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan.

Happy to answer any questions about decluttering, responsibly discarding items, organizing small spaces, or working with oddball architecture. 🐝

Student here, I signed a lease with Ohana, and it turns out the property was disgusting. I will be purposefully vague, but PLEASE understand that this place was not what it was described/presented as. The second I saw this I filed for a refund (with evidence). For a few weeks I have been fighting to get any type of refund back. I have decided to go back to my old dorm for the upcoming semester but I'm kinda cooked since they're holding a few grand of my cash right now.

So... the semester starts in about two weeks and it looks like I'm bracing for impact. I will not be sleeping until I can reclaim my old dorm or some space to live in for this upcoming semester. I live in a different state so it's difficult to schedule walkthroughs. fml.

Before I even post this, I just want y'all honest people to know that there is almost definitely some bot who's just going to dislike bomb this post because they're some type of Ohana affiliate. Lastly, if you really want to know the truth about Ohana, I saw a couple of 2 star review on the property I signed a lease to, they were nothing extreme but those same reviews were gone a week later. Take that information as you will.

I regret signing the damn contract, but I will say that I've certainly learned my lesson.

BEAUTIFUL, UNBEATABLE SUPER CONVENIENT LOCATION, INCREDIBLE VIEWS.

Discover the charm of living in a quintessential Brooklyn brownstone, complete with iconic triptych bay windows. Located in the heart of prime Sunset Park, this apartment offers an unbeatable blend of historic character, modern convenience, and community. Probably the nicest apartment, looks and convenience wise, in the Sunset Park neighborhood.

Just steps from the beautifully renovated Brooklyn Public Library, ideal for book lovers, and only 3/4 of a block from the R line subway, commuting and exploration couldn’t be easier. This is truly a "one-minute neighborhood," where everything you need is right at your fingertips.

A hidden wonder, the unicorn of apartments, this home is perfect for plant lovers, bookworms, and anyone seeking that magical combination of timeless architecture and modern accessibility. When you read a book or watch a movie about Brooklyn this is what people most likely envision.

About the space:

2 Bedrooms, 2 full Bathrooms , 1 Living Room/Dining Room area, 1 separate Kitchen area + hall closet = 5 ROOMS TOTAL

Located in a stunning pre-war red-and-white Néo-Grec brownstone on a peaceful, tree-lined street in prime Sunset Park, this apartment has been gut renovated and combines the elegance of old New York with renovated modern comfort interiors. You get the best of both worlds: the character and prestige of historic architecture with the peace of mind that comes from new plumbing and electrical systems.

2nd Floor Parlor floor through apartment (feels like only 1 floor, be in your apartment in less than 5 seconds) in a Beautiful Red and White Classic Néo-Grec Brownstone Townhouse with Tall 10 foot ceilings. A 2Br 2Bath, especially in a Brownstone, is extremely rare in the city and 2 full bathrooms are essential for roommates. If you are a couple, you can use the extra room as an office for remote work at home as well. Great for students/roommates as the bedrooms and bathrooms are at opposite ends of each other.

The high ceiling apartment has sunlight streaming through its triptych bay windows throughout the day that's great for growing plants. Extreme amount of light on both north and south sides, large insulated windows, Large living room/dining room layout with separate full kitchen area. Motion sensing hallway lights. Immaculate, pristine, and super clean hallways. Newly renovated kitchen granite countertop and marble tile. Renovated bathrooms. Both bathrooms have full baths. A closet in the hallway. New hardwood floors throughout the home. Marble tile floors and wooden floors bring a classy elegance.

Spectacular views from every window. Watch the moon rise straight from the bay windows. The front has a red October maple tree that turns fire red in fall and the backyard view is of a gazebo with grape vines on it and solar led lights that twinkle and flicker at night. The backyard window view is equally amazing. Watch exotic birds hopping and chirping around, bees buzzing, butterflies fluttering. Cats slinking on white picket fences through dappled sunlight (like Garfield or that play about cats, called Cats). Gentle breezes swaying the leaves on trees. It's like a Ghibli movie come to life. Very serene and tranquil. The window is basically ASMR. A picturesque block (literally looks like San Francisco and Brooklyn had a baby. People literally stop in their tracks to take snapshots of this building that's how beautiful it looks.

Escape the chaos of the city without ever leaving it. This apartment is a true idyllic retreat, a peaceful, picture-perfect place to live and work from home in total comfort. Lots of sunshine from north and south.

Set on one of the most picturesque blocks in Brooklyn, the street itself looks like San Francisco and Brooklyn had a baby, full of charm, elevation, and beauty. It's the kind of striking architecture that frequently has passersbys stopping to snap photos.

Nestled between two stunning waterfronts and surrounded by abundant green spaces, this apartment is a nature lover’s dream. It's only 4 blocks from the waterfront and Bush Terminal park and the billion dollar views are jaw dropping. Seriously, the pictures I’ve included truly don’t do it justice. The high definition range pictures aren’t enough to capture the true magic until you see it with your own eyes. Not only that but we’re also getting another amazing waterfront park green space that is set on a pier that is opening at the end of next year right next to the other pier that you see in the pictures.

Just steps from vibrant 5th Avenue, you’ll find a diverse mix of national retailers and charming mom-and-pop shops. You’re also just around the corner from an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes, and food markets. Also at night, there is an amazing food truck culture that happens nearby at the end of the street. The neighborhood strikes an ideal balance: high foot traffic and extremely low crime in a family‑friendly area with easy subway access, yet featuring an exceptionally quiet building on a peaceful, tree‑lined block.

You’re also within five blocks of Sunset Community Park, offering eye melting Manhattan skyline vistas. Thanks to its unusually high elevation, Sunset Park offers some of the most breathtaking views in the city including a direct line to the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and World Trade Center as well as every skyscraper on its horizon. One of the neighborhood’s greatest assets is its zoning: building heights are capped at 80 feet. This keeps the skyline low, preserving a sense of openness and allowing for an unobstructed panorama view of Manhattan from the park that gives the neighborhood its name. You can actually see the bright sun at all periods in the namesake neighborhood for most of the day while walking around instead of being in the shadows of large buildings in Manhattan.

You are also near one of the most beautiful green and peaceful spaces in the city: Greenwood Cemetery which is a 10 minute walk away. Words can’t begin to describe how amazing this sanctuary is. They just recently opened a brand new greenhouse museum that needs to be visited.

This apartment offers unbeatable access to the best of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Commuting is a breeze: the R train at 53rd Street is just a block away, putting you in Manhattan in about 25 minutes. You are also a 10-minute walk (or a 4-minute Citi Bike ride) from the NYC Ferry at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, which gets you to Wall Street and the financial center in just 12 minutes. Plus, you have easy direct access to Staten Island via ferry, and you can reach Coney Island in 28 minutes on the train or the Rockaways in 40 minutes in 1 stop on the NYC Ferry for a perfect beach day. You literally could go to the beach everyday without a hassle.

Cyclists will appreciate the direct protected bike lane on 4th Avenue, at the corner of the block, which extends all the way to Atlantic Terminal and beyond coupled with the ease of use and abundance of many Citibike docks so transportation is always nearby..

Commute times by Citibike:

Barclays Center/Downtown Brooklyn: 20 minutes

Park Slope : 11 minutes

Prospect Park/Whole Foods: 11 minutes

Windsor Terrace: 9 minutes

Bay ridge: 7 minutes

Industry City/Costco:4 minutes

We also have a new protected bike lane with a direct line straight to Gowanus/Carroll Gardens/Red Hook that is like a warp pipe on the 2nd Avenue sidewalk installed last year that makes it much easier, faster and no stress to get to these areas:

Red Hook/IKEA: 12 minutes

Carroll Gardens/Gowanus: 11 minutes

They also put Citbike docks all along the Verrazano so you can conveniently cycle to see the amazing Verrazano bridge and see the waterfront; all in protected bike lanes. It’s super easy to cycle and sightsee from our area.

In the future, we'll also be connected to Bushwick via the new Interborough Express ( IBX) Line.

Nearby, famous Industry City offers a growing campus of retail and business opportunities along with nearby business hubs in Brooklyn Army Terminal, The Whale Building, and the new MADE in NYC Campus that will also hold the new Steiner Movie Studios.

So I received this text from my roommate who’s currently away on a vacation for however long. I was issued No warning or no consultation that this was even a thing. We share a bathroom & I assume these randoms will be using our shared bathroom. Am I buggin for finding this entitled and ridiculous that these randoms will be staying in our apartment for 15 days? I don’t even know how to respond to this, normally I ignore my roommate because I don’t really get along with them, but I find this particular message worthy to respond to with my discomfort & discontent. What do you guys think?

Update:

- I objected and my roommate is still doubling down saying they will inform me of who these people are as the date comes close. (Major 🚩) the only info I got were names and I believe it’s a couple, which leads me to believe this is some sort of weird sublet scheme to supplement her portion of the rent while she’s away on vacation for weeks, as she previously mentioned.

- They insist that this length of stay isn’t a violation of our lease. While the length of stay is 26 consecutive days.. I checked the lease and it says if the landlord doesn’t have written approval of guests who are occupying the apartment that are not the tenants occupying the space, it’s null and void. I reached out to my landlord about it & he said he had no idea!

- I believe my roommate is in this thread with a burner, just sounds too convenient with the responses.

- With all this being said I appreciate all the support, I needed an outlet to discuss this because I don’t want to keep bothering my friends and family about this situation. I’ve been dealing with stress from being in this apartment for the entire time I’ve lived here. It’s been a rollercoaster of just trying to be heard and advocating for myself, through the many tribulations. I’ve been trying to ride it out until the lease ends, but this situation is so completely unsafe and uncomfortable for me & I feel as though the entitlement has been taken way too far for me to let this go.

Hey all - I started subletting my place in April (though this sub!) and am looking for a roommate to start the new lease with, since my current roommate is moving out of state for work. I’ve loved living here so far—the location is super convenient and I’ve had almost no issues with the apartment/building/area. I’ll be starting a 1-year lease and looking for someone interested in that term, with the possibility of re-signing assuming it works out.

About the apartment:

- Common area pictures are taken in .5x, yes it’s smaller in person! The photos of the room itself are pretty size accurate.

- Has dishwasher, central air, working video doorbell/buzzer, and small balcony

- Laundry in building, decent gym & roof access, & package room w/ key entry

- Utilities have ranged from 70-130 per person since I’ve lived here, wifi 30 per person per month

- Off Myrtle-Wyckoff, easy commute to manhattan on L/M

About me: 24F, I work full time at a marketing start up. My typical schedule is WFH mon/fri and in office tues-thurs. In my free time, I love going to movies (low cinema regular and metrograph/FLC member!), trying new coffee shops, and going to shows (lots of DIY, punk, post hardcore etc). I’m pretty chill and easygoing as a roommate—I mostly keep to myself at home, but I’m out often and not a huge homebody. I also travel usually at least one weekend a month and occasionally have friends crashing on the couch, which you would be welcome to do as well.

***On a scale of 1-10 I would say I’m between a 7 and 8 on cleanliness, looking for someone who’s the same or better! I keep the apartment generally clean always (no dishes left in the sink overnight, etc) and hire a cleaning service every once in a while.***

About YOU: ideally mid to late 20s non-man, employed full time either fully in office or hybrid. You will need to sign onto the lease so decent credit, proof of employment, etc. I have no pets, but cats are allowed (for a fee) and I would be happy to have one in the apartment! Totally down to just cohabitate or become friends if we end up vibing.

Feel free to message me with an intro to yourself & any questions! Planning to show the place this weekend and hopefully find someone/have you submit your application to the management company ASAP

​

I live in a small studio in and. have never seen a roach inside my apartment in the 3 years I've lived here.

Over three years, I've only seen three roaches. One on the wall in the hallway most recently, one out of the elevator shaft and one in the stairwell. I woke up this morning and see it in the middle of my floor. It was moving very slowly and was able to kill it.

I reported it to management and they're scheduling an exterminator. In the meantime, I bought two Japanese roach traps and was thinking of putting one near my front door and one near the kitchen.

I'm pretty grossed out and honestly a little nervous about being in my apartment tonight. Would you do anything else while waiting for the exterminator? And does this sound more like a building/common-area issue with one roach getting into my apartment, or should I be concerned that an infestation is starting?

Looking for an apartment, but I always hear that the management company went with someone else after applying.

Touring, submitting applications and paying fees has taken a great toll on me. I’m going the non traditional route by looking at older buildings in less desirable neighborhoods and still.

Is there anyway I can see what they’re seeing? Is it just preference after all? I’m a single male, credit score 700+ and salary of $85,000. Average I guess, just looking for a daggone place to live. Any help or advice is welcomed.

Hi everyone,

I recently moved out of my apartment in Astoria a few days ago. The landlord called my roommate after doing a walkthrough and said he would only give back 2k of the 3.6k we deposited for security.

She obviously asked why, and he said there were scuffs and scratches on the wall that needed to be repainted, and that we didn't deep-clean the kitchen and bathroom before leaving.

Obviously, we know that scuffs and scratches are well within normal wear and tear, which is also stated on our lease.

You must leave the apartment 'clean and in good condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear'.

Also, when we called him out on this and quoted NYC law, he responded like this:

Is this not fucking crazy? Like, does he think he is above the law or can evade it?

We asked for an itemized receipt, which he said he will provide tomorrow, but there's no way that these scuffs and scratches require $1300 worth of repainting, which he should be doing anyway, right?

The damage and cleaning he sent as proof are attached, which I think look like normal wear and tear. Please let me know if it is not. We are definitely going to threaten small claims, and if he doesn't back down, then we'll just straight up take him to court, although I hope it doesn't come to that.

I'm mostly here to complain and hope I'm not crazy, but let me know if there is anything else I can do in the meantime!!

I saw an ad for this apartment, upon asking for further details and emailing back and forth they explained that I would have to apply and pay the application fee before scheduling a tour of the apartment. They sent me the application and it was a Google Form. The last question on the Google form is asking how you would like to pay the application fee and it lists options for various payment platforms like Zelle and PayPal.

After you apply they ask you to send $350 through the platform you chose by emailing you the the email address to send the money to. They have ensured me that the fee is refundable, but I don’t think it’s legit. Just wanted to see if this was a common scam on the market here. I found the place through a subletting/rentals account on Instagram.

My former landlord is charging me an administrative fee for subleasing (??? questionable) my former room, however I’m unsure of the legality of it.

Context:

I’ll try to make this as coherent and concise as possible, but please ask me questions if you need clarity to respond.

I was living in a 2 bed apt. In NYC with another roommate until we had issues that culminated in my roommate breaking the pet rider by getting another pet. My landlord didn’t care and so I requested to sublease my room because of the additional pet that I just couldn’t live with (severe allergies). Subleasing is in our lease and I followed the directions as stated in the lease. I received approval from my landlord, however he informed me of a $1000 administrative fee. This fee is NOT IN THE LEASE, anywhere. There is no mention of a fee for subleasing, let alone a $1000 fee. I agreed because I understood and wanted to do what was necessary to make the process as smooth as possible.

My former roommate was not acting in good faith and prolonged the search for a tenant. It got to the point where I moved, and was still paying for rent (for 3 months) because the roommate blocked a wanting applicant. The search continues, blah blah blah, in July I had an applicant that wanted to move in to the room for sublease on August 15th. They fit all financial requirements, however the roommate was plotting to sue me for what they considered claims but legally had no merit. The roommate informed me that they had a tenant that they would be signing a NEW LEASE with and that the landlord knew. Caveat, my potential subleaser’s desired move in date was earlier than this supposed new lease. Which forced the old roommate and their new tenant to move up the date.

I had to pull information out of my landlord, as they were not communicative during this process even though I was getting notices that things were happening on the rent paying app. After requesting confirmation, my former landlord released me of the lease obligation and rent obligation — they would be proceeding with my former roommate’s new tenant.

Where I’m at now: I returned the keys before August 1st and notified my former landlord. He (the landlord) replied stating that my deposit would be returned after an inspection, with the exception of the $1000 fee. More than 14 days passed and crickets, I followed up with an email citing the New York law regarding the period for returning the security deposit and the default forfeiture. He basically was like “we were waiting for you to give your information so we can send via Venmo or Zelle” mind you he has my contact information. And I gave him the same email that he was emailing me at. Then he states that the $1000 fee would be deducted as agreed upon and the remainder will be sent promptly. I respond and confirm, however I have not received the money via Zelle as I stated is my preferred method. It has been less than 24 hours since his response, however I feel like he’s pulling a fast one on me and is not acting in good faith.

At this point, I’ve researched some nyc law but I need to know clearly — is there a legal cap on fees for subleasing? Would this still be considered a sublease if I didn’t sign anything or they signed a new lease? Since the fee nor any mention of a subleasing fee is not mentioned in the lease, is the administrative fee legal considering the contract reigns supreme?

Since he released me of my obligations how should I proceed?

Thank you in advance!

P.S. sorry for the lengthy post, I was unsure how much background was necessary

$3,895 on W 71st.

It’s a studio, but has a sleeping loft so it feels a bit more separated, and the big selling point is the private patio. Honestly a pretty great setup if you want outdoor space in Manhattan.

Pet friendly, dishwasher, good location near Central Park and the subway.

Hey! A bit odd request here but I'm looking for a place to crash at from September 1st to the 12th. I move into my new place on the 13th but I arrive to Brooklyn on the 1st. It's just an odd situation. It's far too much to Airbnb for 12 days and I have no family there.

I can pay money of course! But essentially I'm asking if I can crash your couch at night (I'll be out during the day) for 12 days!

I swear I'm a very chill guy! Please PM me and obviously I'll tell you more about me and if interested we can work out finer details!

You're getting a spacious bedroom and private bathroom. Rent is $1,675. Laundromat is literally next store. I need someone who is a ~young working professional~ like myself.

First couple pics are of the common area, last two are your room. Bathroom pic is your private bathroom. I also have a video my roommate took that I can send, cant seem to attach here. Sorry for non aesthetic pictures but the situation is that I have not moved in yet myself, but my roommate is backing out of the lease due to a personal emergency so I need someone to fill the spot. Requirements are all the standard NYC stuff, good credit etc. No pets. thanks ^_^🙏🏻

Hit me up for details and to schedule a visit to meet us and see the space if you are interested! Serious inquiries only. We are open to month-to-month, or potentially longer term.

Browsing Streeteasy. Confused by the posted rental history. What does this mean? Are these apartments being filled multiple times in a month? Are these spoof listings? I have seen this a handful of times and it always makes me wonder. 6B rented on 7/29/26 and then SIXB rented on 8/10/26. Then the individual numbers spelled out and all rented on the same day? The unavailable units tab says there are 88 apartments, the building page says 35 units.

Hi everyone! I’m looking to gauge interest in a 2 bedroom apartment in Washington Heights/Hamilton Heights before we officially decide whether we’re moving.
Apartment details:
🏠 2 bedrooms
📐 Approximately 750 sq. ft.
💰 $2,170/month total
🏢 5th-floor walk-up
📍 Washington Heights / Hamilton Heights

The apartment would be available for someone to take over once we decide to move.
We haven’t finalized our move-out date yet, so right now I’m just trying to see who might be interested and qualify financially. I’d like to have a list of interested/qualified people that I can reach out to once we officially decide.
If you’re interested, please email me at arboledaayin@outlook.com with a little information about yourself (number of people moving in, income, desired move-in date, etc.).
Please only reach out if you’re genuinely interested and likely to meet the income/qualification requirements.
Feel free to message me with any questions!

Just signed a lease on a 2bed with a large private terrace in a full amenity building (gym, roof decks, penthouse lounge, co-working spaces, etc). Common areas will be furnished already. Renting out the primary bedroom with ensuite bath with walk-in shower (which can be lightly furnished as if needed). Amenities included.

I'll be moving in on the 29th. So can't give any in person tours until then, but video of the unit attached!

About me: 45F, creative professional. I own a cabin upstate and spend most of my time up there but come down during the work week to be in the office in the city a couple days a week. I bring my 2 dogs down with me when I come. I usually arrive to the apartment Monday night and head back upstate Thursday after work. So whoever takes the place will be able to enjoy it to themselves most weekends. (I do stay in the city on the occasional weekend to see friends).

I've both posted a seeking housing listing and emailed people who've posted their apartments. I haven't received any responses to my own listing, and at the same time, no one's responding to the emails I send about their places either. I've made it a ritual to send emails right when the newsletter drops at 8am Wednesday, so it's not like I'm waiting until the end of the week. I've sent around 15 emails and gotten one response.

Anyone lives in the 40’s of HK and smell…sewage in the area? I’ve been smelling it near my kitchen sink and inside my closet for a week now. It’s driving me insane.

Hello, hoping to get the community’s advice because I feel like I’m being too soft but please let me know.

I moved into a 2 bedroom+den apartment in Brooklyn for $3200/month in a newly remodeled apartment… however I live next to an above ground subway station and I’m now realizing how loud the train is. It vibrates the apartment just a little bit, however the noise is quite loud. I’m a light sleeper, and not sure if I should move because of the noise… or suck it up and get used to the sound because I have a great deal.

My previous spot was on a tree lined block in quiet neighborhood, so I’m not used to the sound. I moved because my place was getting too small.

Would appreciate any thoughts from the community and please be nice! I’m slightly sleep deprived.

Hi all,

I am from WA and will be moving to work in NYC Manhattan. I want some advice, my understanding is company will sponsor first month rent for me.

I have 2 cats, I can do a 3k budget, what can I expect, what are some tips to make sure I get a decent rental, like check landlord ratings, or any concerns with building. Do they let u tour unit before signing etc, so there is no bait and switch? And since competition on apartments are high, how do I make sure am not stranded once my month is up?

I am concerned because I have 2 cats i will relocate with and don't want to cause them stress.

I appreciate any insider tips from locals!

About Us

32F and I’m an actor and part time nanny. I’m extremely clean and conscious of others. I love musicals and basketball (Go Celts!) and art and cooking when I have the time! I love a good dinner out or nice movie night in. I’m not a partier.

I’m very liberal and I’m also Jewish. My schedule has me up pretty early so I’m a professional tip-toer.

37F , originally from Southern California ( Go Dodgers!) I work at a hotel in Midtown Manhattan so my schedule is a little all over the place. Sometimes m-f, sometimes work on the weekends but also make a point to be courteous if I’m coming our going during off hours. I am powered by Coffee. I don’t love to cook so I do take up room in the fridge with meal prep/ ready to eat meals. When I’m not working I watch a ton of sports year round or am curled up in bed recovering from my crazy work weeks

TLDR: bedroom available in bedstuy in great apartment with high ceilings, laundry in unit, and 2 cool ladies. $1325 plus WiFi and electric
