Has anyone tried looking for an apartment in the crazy high real estate market of the present time? The average 1 bedroom or studio is renting for anywhere from $1,800 a month to much higher! I’m a senior and this would take my entire S.S. check! This is the situation I’m in today and it’s very frustrating. I’ve had to move around a lot in my life for various jobs and other reasons and I never had a problem renting an apartment fairly quickly and at a reasonable rent. Recently, I’ve gone on Craigslist, Googled for apartments all over NYC and NJ and it’s the same high rental market everywhere. When there’s an occasional apartment available at a lower rent, there are also a multitude of applicants for these rentals. I’ve gone into real estate offices and they don’t even take your info once they find out the rental range you are looking for. Or they say they will get back to you and never do. This is happening to me over and over again. I can’t stay in the apartment I’m in as I must vacate asap as this rental will be sky high very soon. It’s very frustrating to say the least. But I keep looking, keep hoping, and keep praying for an apartment to come up that I can afford!
