funny, one of my former classmates was bragging about that

For a while the housing market was crazy enough down here so that renting cost almost as much as buying, so I took the plunge and bought my condo a couple of years ago. No regrets, no roommates, no crabs, no sleep.

Conversely, my place's second bedroom has only been empty for a month now and I'm sort of desperate to get someone else in there. Luckily I think I have someone lined up for January.

My all time record that didn't involve simply not answering is probably about three months. I think I've had living arrangements that have lasted longer.

ive only heard about rooms in places, sorry doc
but i do know of 2 open rooms in green point. both reasonable (like 700)but in shares

HEEEEEY, Morbs. I can't picture it exactly but I don't think I'd call anything around there "shitty". Fuck, I wish I could afford to move back. How much is the apt again?
― Laurel, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Franklin shuttle area aint that bad

a thousand. It's opposite some kind of therapy center, lotsa barbed wire -- no thx. Maybe if I was 26.

whoa google maps street view is kind of racist
― sanskrit, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:36 (sixteen years ago) link
how so?
I'm seeing rent-stabilized studio on Ocean Pkwy (nr Ditmas) tnite. I have feeling I'm going to be offered it if I like it -- of course, apt that's $225 a month LESS in Midwood is taking forever to get their paperwork together. So if I say no, I'll be taking Door #2, Monty.

Oh, actually, that might be across from the methadone clinic, and if so that might actually be the worst place in that part of Crown Heights to be. I take it all back.
skrit, googlemaps streetview loves them some mac-user demographic, huh? Turns out there's like nothing photo'ed east of Flatbush.

It looks like I am signing tomorrow for the 4th-floor apt in doorman bldg near the d1tm4s F stop. If I want to get out after a month, I'll just invite the noise board over to use the pool on the roof.

roof pool is pretty sweet!

hey, my landlady is threatening to keep my $900 deposit since I gave her 25 days' notice of moving instead of the prescribed 30! FUN.
I can't find my copy of the 'lease', but I don't doubt the 30 days are in there. I'm saved only in she gets a renter for 7/1.
Options short of murder?

isn't your landlady also forcing you to move out? omg what a bitchy move.

I wanted to leave last year -- before I was attempted to slice and boil her fucking hyperactive kids -- but couldn't find anything.
I could've given her notice 3 weeks ago but saw no reason to. OOPS
It's Brooklyn, 2 stops from Pk Slope, she'll be able to find a fucking tenant. (esp with that smiling "You won't hear A THING down here" bullshit she used on me)
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:00 (fifteen years ago) link
attempted = tempted
(The upstairs tenant also wants the kid to vanish)
btw, landlady has huge weightlifter husband.
