Hello, I am trying to move to NYC from San Francisco. I’ve read a little about how competitive it is to find an apartment, but I have the following questions. I apologize in advance if there are already topics that answer these question, but I’d appreciate direction to those forums so I can become more informed.
1. I am looking for a roommate in Manhattan. Do most people require a one year lease for new tenants/roommates? I would prefer month to month rent if that’s possible.
2. I plan to resign from my current job, and find work in NYC. I most likely will not be employed while I search for an apartment, but I can provide past pay stubs and evidence that I have sufficient funds in my personal checking and savings accounts. Does this make me an unfavorable candidate to a landlord or roommate?
