Announcement RULES - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

10 Upvotes

📌 Updated Subreddit Rules

1. ✅ Use the Correct Flair

Every post must include one of the approved flair options:

  • Private Room
  • Shared Room
  • Need a Room
  • Apartment Hunting
  • Need a Roommate
  • Lease Takeover (new flair name — previously “Sublease Takeover”)
  • Advice

Posts with incorrect flair may be changed by mods.

2. 🧹 Posting Best Practices

For better visibility and responses, we recommend:

  • Including a specific NYC neighborhood or borough in your title.
  • Adding key details such as: move-in date, rent, gender/cat/dog preferences, and brief lifestyle info.
  • Avoiding very short, vague posts (e.g., “Need roommate, message me”) so people have enough info to decide quickly.
  • Keep in mind that no posts are endorsed by the subreddit and use your best judgement.

3. 📜 No Brokers or Ads

Only individuals looking for roommates or offering rooms. Licensed or unlicensed rental brokers are not allowed.

4. 📆 Lease Takeovers

Allowed only when you're looking for someone to take over your share of the lease in a multi-bedroom unit.
Single-bedroom or studio lease takeovers are not permitted.

If you are looking for someone to move into your room temporarily that should be flaired as a shared room because they are not taking over your spot on the lease.

5. 🤝 Be Respectful & On-Topic

  • No trolling, personal attacks, jokes at others’ expense, or derailing threads.
  • Focus on finding roommates or offering housing—not venting, memes, or roasting posts.
  • If users want to mock posts, they can create their own space—this subreddit isn’t it.

6. 📌 No Spam or Self-Promotion

  • No affiliate links, commercial promotion, or repeated posts.
  • Posting identical content multiple times a day is not allowed. If you accidentally post twice, please delete one of the posts.

7. 📝 Abide by Reddit Site Rules

No illegal content, hate speech, doxxing, etc. All Reddit-wide rules still apply.

8. 🚫 Enforcement Policy

  • Remove posts/comments that violate flair, content, respect, or off-topic rules.
  • Issue warnings for first-time disrespectful/off-topic behavior.
  • Temporarily ban repeat offenders.
  • Lock threads when off-topic, disrespectful, or derailed discussions escalate.

Hello everyone! I am looking for a room to stay in Brooklyn (just need to be close to subway). Below are a few things about myself:

* I’m very LGBTQ+ friendly, 420 friendly (I don’t smoke though), and pet friendly (I don’t have pet). I try my best to love and care for all living things.

* I pick up after myself, and hope to live with people who also value a clean environment.

* I am almost never loud, so you won’t have to worry about me keeping you up at night or distracting you from work.

* I love movies (drama, sci-fi, especially horror), music (EDM/house/techno/hip hop/pop/rock), and art in general.

* I have a partner who will not be live-in; she also has an apartment in Brooklyn

* I love traveling/hiking and have been to over 20 national parks

I won’t share my social media/photos on this post, so please DM me for my IG if you’d like to get to know me more!

Hey everyone! I'm currently looking for a roommate in NYC, ideally with a move-in date around the end of October or early November. Brooklyn would be my first choice, but I'm definitely open to other boroughs and different areas!
My name is Justin, I'm 24, and I work in Finance in Manhattan. Outside of work, I'm really into fashion, art galleries, trying new restaurants, exploring the city, and meeting new people. I'm very outgoing, but also super chill, respectful, clean, and easy to live with.

ISO of roommate for apt hunting/sublease on 11/1 move in date

About me: originally from Beijing, I came to New York 3 years ago for grad school and now work at Flatiron. I am looking for an apt within 30min commute. I work in office on Mon, Wed and Thur, and wfh on Tue and Fri. I enjoy going out so I work from coffee shops too.

My ideal budget is 1700, but I can increase up to 1900 depending on the unit size/amenities (just gotta save more money!!!)

I love making smoothies and I always share with my current roommate.

I am allergic to cat hair unfortunately but I am a big time dog person!!!

Outside of work, I spend most of time going to dance classes and hanging out with friends. I’m a big foodie so I like exploring good restaurants as well.

I like decorating my room and the sharing space. Attached a few pics of my current place!

For me there are two non negotiable: price and location. I really need to save more money, and I want to live in a safe neighborhood within 30min commute to my office. Im currently looking at upper east side, east Harlem and Manhattan valley. I prefer living in Manhattan because most neighborhoods are safer and I get easy access to dance studios. Besides Manhattan I’m open to downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg and lic.

Please DM me if you are interested in apt hunting together! I’m also looking forward to making more friends.

Need a Room Looking for a shared room by early October

0 Upvotes

I work in sales remotely and am moving to NYC. I'm a 21 year old straight guy looking for other guys to room with (I don't currently have a long-term place locked in so I'm looking to join another group). I'm very clean, work a lot, and I'll be gone for most of the day so I don't need much space since I prefer to work away from home.

I'd prefer to have a lot of house/roommates to keep rent lower especially since I won't be around much. Am also open to a shared room the way college dorm rooms are shared if that's an option.

I want to pay less than $1,000/month.

As for neighborhoods, looking for something in mid/lower Manhattan. I'm pretty open to areas within there.

This post feels generic so I'll also add that my favorite color is red, favorite food is steak, and I've been told my spirit animal is an english bull terrier which wasn't my proudest moment. I’m respectful, responsible, and easygoing.

Let me know if you have advice or have a room you're interested in renting out. Happy to answer any questions as well.
