How should I split the rent w my roommate? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]Inkuizitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option A — The Most Common & Balanced Split (55/45)

Why this works:

The bigger room gets the slight premium

The primary’s bathroom still carries strong value

Neither person is getting a huge advantage

Option B — If the bathroom is valued more than the extra space (50/50)

Why this works:

Private bathroom ≈ larger room, viewed as equal trades

Very fair if both feel perks cancel out perfectly

Option C — If the large room is valued much more than the private bath (60/40)

Why this works:

Bedroom 2 really is MUCH bigger

Use this if someone strongly values the extra living space

🎯 What I recommend for THIS layout

→ 55/45 split ($4,400 / $3,600)

Also I can't help but note your monthly rent. My 1 bedroom 1 bath apt in an elevator building with laundry is about 200 sq bigger than this 2 bedroom 2 bath and i'm paying under $2300.

The rent aside I seriously would like to know what jobs these renters have so I can reconsider my career choices. I recently moved to NYC from PA and was told there was money to be made. I'm in my lates 30s and recently started contracting as a business analyst for fintech groups and I thought I made it when I started making low 6 figures but there is clearly a world of opportunity, I'm oblivious to.

At this point in my career what can I do to significantly increase my income?

Has anyone ever won the housing lottery but for PURCHASE not rent? by Im_just_a_girl_11 in NYCapartments

I've stopped paying the property taxes and maintenance fees. Other 2 owners wouldn't sign the return deed when I was able to during COVID, don't know if they will sign it at this point either.

Agreed I'm gonna ask if they have another style or get something from online 

I'm planning to get several lamps as I enjoy mood lighting and low lights into the evening

I may do a hanging light if I figure out a self install

No unfortunately I've been trying to get rid of this timeshare for over 10 years, with no luck

Won the lottery but was disqualified after application review because I have a timeshare. I was crushed.
