Roommate in NY

Hi
Looking for a flatmate for 2 bedroom 2 bathroom unit in a managed luxury building close to UN / Grand central (midtown east) starting July, the apartment is spacious with a lot of natural light and really good views. The rent is $2,900, if you are interested please contact. Earliest move in date is June 30.

 

Based on the WSO threads, finding a roommate in NYC can be quite strategic, especially in areas like Midtown East which are popular due to their proximity to key business districts and amenities. Here are some tips to consider when looking for a roommate:

  1. Be Clear About Expectations: When advertising for a roommate, be clear about what you are looking for in terms of lifestyle, cleanliness, and financial responsibility. This helps in attracting the right candidates who match your expectations.

  2. Financial Readiness: Ensure that potential roommates are financially stable. As mentioned in the WSO content, it's common to need proof of income or a guarantor to meet the landlord's requirements, which can be around 40-65 times the monthly rent.

  3. Use Reliable Platforms: Utilize trusted platforms or networks for finding roommates. WSO forums, social media groups dedicated to housing in NYC, or platforms like Roomi can be useful.

  4. Schedule Interviews: Before finalizing a roommate, it’s wise to meet in person or have a video call to discuss living habits and compatibility. This step is crucial to ensure a harmonious living situation.

  5. Legal and Lease Agreements: Make sure that all agreements with your roommate are documented, especially those concerning the lease, sharing of bills, and other household responsibilities.

By following these guidelines, you can increase your chances of finding a compatible roommate and ensure a smooth co-living arrangement.
