Leasing New York

I had to find an apartment really quickly because I was going out of town during my move-​in date. I went through so many different listings on craigslist… and I mean SO MANY. I was looking for a studio/​1 br convert for under 1700 $ that was clean and either was a 1 floor walkup or elevator. Yea sounds impossible right?
After looking at many listings of different buildings that scared the heck out of me I found Aileen through craigslist. She was GREAT. Now the process did not come so smoothly for me. After looking at a few apartments, we found one in an elevator building that was getting remodeled.
Unfortunately after putting in my application, the landlord said the move in date was not possible because they weren’t done with the remodeling… so by then, I was super close to the move in date and I was panicking even more to the point where I made back up plans to move in with one of my guy friends and put my stuff in storage!
However, Jaye kept searching for apartments for me that would suit my taste and… my mother’s. My mom is funny when it comes to apts. She needs to see them before I can move in and if she hates it, she’ll refuse to ever visit me again. So Jaye had a challenge! She was very patient and persistent in finding me a replacement apt and she did! I now live in Hell’s Kitchen in a lux building (elevator, laundry, doorman, gym, nice neighborhood) — studio/​1 br convert… for…1580 a month! niceee.
In addition, Jaye referred me to a great moving company, Shea’s Movers and helped me get acquainted with the neighborhood. Thanks so much Jaye! :)
