MOVING IN NYC ALONE AT 34 (vol. 5) | finally applying for 3 nyc apartments & apartment hunting contd

[@TishaShrestha]

so so sorry for being MIA here and on IG 💗Thank you so much for being part of this journey and your support 🙏🏽. This is one of the longest video I have ever posted.. so much to catch up!!

[@travelwithjason999]

Watching from Kathmandu keep it up sis

[@TishaShrestha]

@@travelwithjason999 thank you so much 🙏

[@travelwithjason999]

@@TishaShrestha great to hear sis 🌄 much love and best wishes

[@rebekah3483]

I found it interesting that you're Tisha and your sis is Patisha! So cool to see the process of all of this! I'm glad you had your sis around to bounce your thoughts off of! Always good to have family support!

[@TishaShrestha]

@@rebekah3483 my aunt suggested my name since it rhymes with my sister’s name. Pratisha’s sister Nitisha :)))) Agreed! Family support is so so important ♥️

[@birdeez]

WOW, WOW, WOW, the Rollercoaster ride continues!!! Girl, I thought you were going to get one of the apartments in this video--What a BUMMER!!! You still have the option to look UPTOWN, UPTOWN in HARLEM, WASHINGTON/HUDSON HEIGHTS, and INWOOD allowing you to stay in the borough of Manhattan with a 20-30 minute subway ride to downtown, all within your price range in a larger apartment with elevators and laundry room in the building!!!

[@TishaShrestha]

I thought the same...that this is it!!! thank you so much for all the recs ❤

[@lexibestest21]

Don’t settle! You made the right decision. This is a place you will call your home for the next 1 to 2 years. The right one will show up for you.

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Exactly 😊

[@TishaShrestha]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@elsbells4841]

The apartments in this video mostly looked a LOT better than in your previous videos. Hope your search ends soon though! All that stress … sending you virtual hugs ❤❤❤

[@TishaShrestha]

Yeah so many better options this time ard! Thank you so much ❤❤❤. Sending you vitual hugs as well

[@virgomarie13]

Your sister is right, your current apartment is dark and depressing. The studio had so much light and charm ✨

[@milly9897]

First apartment was clean. Landlord takes pride in maintaining it. FYI-showing vet records shows that you are a responsible pet parent. It helps. Second apartment is trash. Imagine telling you to do work on the apartment. They can take it off the rent. Once you’ve moved consider applying for apartments through the city. Many are brand new out of the box. It takes time but at least you would not have to deal with trashy buildings. You can report the building management company to the city. Please do this. Also, the apartment that you think your application wasn’t given….you can check into this and report the broker.

[@MoreNadia]

Im sorry this has been stressful for you, but apartment hunting videos are my favorite thing to watch! Cant wait for the empty apartment tour and moving vlogs in the future 💜

[@scarletapostate618]

Thank you for all the updates! No apologies for the content, this is the reality of apartment hunting especially in NY. All the annoying hiccups are honest and part of the journey. Much luck! I know your efforts will land you in your dream home 😊

[@wpeters4361]

If you're in an apartment walking on squeaky floors...just know that you're going to be hearing that same walking/squeaking from the tenant above you. Sometimes even rugs don't help and it gets to be REALLY annoying.

[@tarver5308]

Uggggh, apt #26 Run like hell, I felt like I needed 10 showers and 5 baths just to get that ilth off of me! And that’s just from watching the video… I understand they said they’ll have some things fixed but they should’ve had those things completed before showing the unit. I think the first apt is more suitable but that Yorkville apt is nice too. Again, I hope everything works out for you and you get the apt you want.

[@chrissyobermeyer1139]

Girl! I am all in with this journey! I put in a second vote to trying other areas to maximize your money and potentially get a nicer building and larger place. You are so close! (And you can also get some sort of island to put in any kitchen with lack of counter space. 😊😊)

[@TishaShrestha]

almost there!!! thank you so much for your suggestion ❤

[@teribennett7687]

Fingers crossed for you finding that " perfect" place. Keep an open mind, you can always make a place your own.

[@arianac.2208]

Keep the faith! The perfect apartment is out there for you. I live in Washington Heights and I would advise looking around West Harlem and near Columbia University. Great restaurants and bars and lovely green spaces!

[@brittneyonovo5134]

Hey girl hey!! Been following your page for about a month... I LOVE YOUR VLOGS!!! Remember this... This is only a rental... GET WHAT YOU WANT, NOT WHAT YOU CAN IMPROVE!!!!! Everything should be perfect for you. ❤️

[@TishaShrestha]

♥️♥️♥️

[@warmbreeze43]

Oh Tisha, I sure hope you find the apartment you really want. I guess not settling is really what it comes down to. I understand your apprehension and checking everything after the first apartment. I’d be a bit picky myself. Best of luck. It will come to you. Be strong. A great video btw. Have a good apartment hunt this week

[@TishaShrestha]

Thank you so so much!!! Hope you and loved ones are doing well ❤

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Whoa what a time you are having at the moment. But it is a moment and this will pass. Always trust your first instinct as you are doing. The perfect apartment will come, just keep at it. You are young and can cope with all this. You deserve the best for you and your fur baby 🐶.❤ sending love and positive thoughts to you. So keep going, keep warm. Thank goodness you have family and friends to support you. Take care keep safe. Lovely snowy days with you in New York my second fav city. 😊Rosie O from a cold but sunny Devon, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 x

[@mouse1781]

What a rollercoaster of emotions! I'm sure you took the right decision, you're right not to want to settle, even if it doesn't look like at this moment... I'm sending all the good vibes your way!

[@karenanderson6443]

Keep the faith in yourself, trust your heart! You’ve got this! Sending love and kindness!!

[@TishaShrestha]

thank you so much ❤

[@tinawhynot8893]

Tisha, loving the apartment hunt content and the longer length of this video. Don’t stress about that aspect please. I am crossing my fingers that your next video will be the one where we see your new home 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 Sending you a virtual hug 🤗 and hoping the apartment finding fairy is sitting on your shoulder bringing you luck!

[@MOMO-hx1hr]

Don’t give up, I feel your frustration with your current management and trying to find a decent place to live. I am also apartment hunting so I feel your pain Have faith ❤

[@32446]

Wow. What a journey. I bet you’re exhausted. Loving your apartment journey. It must be so stressful though. Your current building management are useless and it shows you’ve made the right decision to move out. I think you’re right about the narrow apartment and your new place is still waiting to be found!!!

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

My thoughts too. 😊

[@patriciaschmitt6448]

Don't worry about what you are showing as content Trisha. I'm enjoying this apartment hunting very much. I pray you find an apartment you like soon. If you don't 'LOVE' any that you view, don't take them. I'm certain that you wouldn't settle in other life ventures. It's important to love your space that you call home. Good luck in your 'adventure' and I look forward to the next one. ☮

[@mochimoon508]

At the end of the video I'm also starting to feel stressed from apartment hunting 🤐 I wish you find your dream apartment, and have a peaceful rest of the year after this madness is finally over

[@kb9847]

I am stressed watching what you are going through. I can't believe how many apts you have viewed!! You are a strong woman!! Sorry to hear about the gas bill fees, how annoying is that?!! I'd be really mad. You really are handling this so well. I wish you luck and that you will find your new home soon!! I'm gonna sub now. :)

[@tinnywitch]

I was crossing my fingers so hard throughout the video, really hoped you found your place! The quality of the apartments in this video seemed very good compared to some of the old ones, I hope thats a sign that your perfect one is right around the corner 🍀

[@karenjohnson8408]

I can't believe how complicated the process is in getting an apartment in NYC.

[@KODoc482]

The quality of your videos are just getting better and better! I'm hooked on your personal adventures in living; keep it up!

[@TishaShrestha]

thank you so much ❤

[@ainezd83]

Hi Tisha, Absolutely love your videos. I have been watching for quite some time now and was pleasantly surprised to see the longer video. I’m really enjoying your perspective on finding an apartment. Thank you for taking us along. It is your authenticity and your transparency that draws people in so please never stop.❤

[@hilsbeasley539]

Oh my word, heaven only knows how you're feeling, I'm exhausted and dizzy just watching you! I must admit I thought you were going to say you were sorted. I think you've done the right thing, if you're not 100% happy, walk away. I know it wouldn't be ideal, but you still have your sister you can stay with for a while if you need to get out without having found anywhere. I know that means putting all your stuff in storage but you only have to pack up once! Good luck and try to keep smiling. xx

[@sma3037]

Stay strong and patient Tisha! You will get there. And good on you to stick up to these building management people! It’s not easy.

[@MsO_B_A]

Omg this was suspenseful 😩😩 I just knew you were getting that big one! It’s ok I KNOW you will get what’s in the cards for you soon. The bright side is you’ve started to come across some really good ones. I know this will continue, wishing you all the best in finding your place, peace of mind and clarity. I’m excited for you!!! I can’t wait until you get out of your current place!!! They really make me 😡😡😡 Fingers crossed for the best 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 luv your videos

[@Laysespeaks]

Still in love with the studio lol

[@bonniepwtf]

Me too, the second I saw it!

[@luanesales]

Me too. Seems cozy!

[@Gabrielle499]

Yep! Agreed 💯

[@TishaShrestha]

Yeah I do regret negotiating the broker fee 😢

[@Badnewsfeminist]

Same that place looked beautiful

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Hi, it's good to see you again. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your present landlord. Hopefully you will find something you like soon.

[@judithcjames5316]

Take pictures of each mark or hole or scratch in your next apartment before you move in and when u leave in the future.

[@dragonfly3466]

Sending positive vibes and love your way Tisha. I know it’s frustrating apartment hunting. You will find the one that is meant for you!!!

[@marysharvey]

Our granddaughter is experience this same thing in Chicago right now. Stay strong, you are in the right! You will find the right place. Good luck.

[@jh7100]

Hi Tisha! Hang in there. You will get what you want. We’re with you! Be strong! Keep going. You can do it! I’m praying for you!

[@MaspethQueen]

I was really rooting for you to get that sundrenched apartment. So sad it fell through. But that only means something better lies ahead. All the luck to you on your continued apartment hunting. Enjoying your apartment search videos but can see it is really taking its toll on you. Totally understandable. Again, sending you good vibes on your journey.

[@hembel9072]

Recently came across your Channel. Intrigued to watch your apartment search because I have rented my entire life. At 58 years old 2 years ago I purchased my first home. I have had many dreams over the years of putting in my notice to move and then not being able to find a place and having nowhere to live. I guess that's why this has intrigued me because you are in that current situation. In my dreams I am so frantic and you are so calm. Look forward to seeing which place ends up being home.

[@lindaball403]

I love that first one.

[@Ann-cx3dd]

I hope you get the apartment of your dreams...... main point taken from all of your searches - - get an apartment with lots of sunlight. Other issues can be worked out ( lack of counter space, lack of closet space, small bthrm ). BUT, sunshine cannot be reproduced artificially..... it is such a mental health/ mood booster. And, sunshine always brightness any space makes it look much prettier / cozier. I hope you get the sunniest one that makes you happy!

[@FemmeAfricaine]

Here after Axella mentioned you have a channel & ouhhhh im so engrossed! you have a way of making 39mins feel like 10! Immediately subscribed & can't wait for more videos! (hopefully where you're moved into an apt you love!)

[@TishaShrestha]

AWEEE thank you so so muchhhhh♥

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Great choice, Tisha!! Do not settle..... you want to be happy with your new move. DO.NOT.SETTLE. Stay strong & the Universe will provide..... 🙏

[@TanyaLochridge]

Your journey is taking me back to my move to NYC in 1993! I sublet, sight unseen, for a month & then sublet a really cute 6-floor walk-up in the UES for a year. During that time I looked at other apartments…what I learned is that mangers/owners can get really creative when describing dumps! One day, on a whim, I looked at a condo in a co-op on 70th & First. Walked through the front door & hallway and into the living room and said “sold!” Everything was magical from that moment on. I lived there for 10+ years before moving out of the city. Still miss the city and my home there. Good luck with your search. You probably know this…but be sure to walk the street at night of the places you are considering…says a lot about the location. Good luck! 🐾💕🐾

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

I’m a new to your channel, really enjoying your content and love your fur baby! I’m a 65 year old divorced female and my dog Bailey, is my lifeline! Hope you find a great apartment soon!

[@yvonnehedrington6782]

Been waiting for another video. I hope you have been busy moving. Best wishes

[@TishaShrestha]

another one will be up in few hours...thank you so much. We are almost there 😉 ❤️

[@etrue9089]

Well, that was a rollercoaster of emotion!! I was so I excited about a couple of those apartments!! What a bummer you did not get the ones you wanted, but I'm sure there is something better out there waiting for you to find it. Sending you loads of positive vibes! I hope you find a space that you will be happy to call home ❤

[@losscookie7053]

You can always put your bed on risers and use storage under the bed

[@amyfaurote1488]

Wow! What a vlog! The crazy whirlwind of apartment hunting is a lot. Don't regret your decisions. I know that the perfect apartment is coming. I just know it. Continued good luck and many blessings. Peace 🕊️

[@patriciateague8677]

I was so hoping you'd get one of the three. Lots better selection this time. Wishing you the best.

[@sylviashanabrough6515]

I would not go with the second one. If the owner allowed it to get in that condition I worry if you have an issue how fast you would get assistance.

[@michellewhite6518]

Love the apartment hunting content! I'm sorry that you're having a difficult time finding a new place. Have you thought about looking for a place in Jersey City so you'll have an option just in case you can't find anything in New York? I wish you the best of luck 😊

[@TishaShrestha]

Thank you so much ❤. I haven't right now. I have applied to few more places. Lets see how it goes. Thank you

[@heatherbeach4696]

Love following along with you... Although it was in a disaray i kinda liked apt3... Seemed small kitchen but had a lot of potential

[@DDee-oi6kn]

Loved #25! Love your apt hunting. The right apartment will show up - don't fret. Those other apartments obviously weren't meant to be - I just would not deal with your current management anymore - I would get out of there as soon as possible.

[@PinkiandCamslife]

Beautiful Mrs Larkins, I literally thought of you two this past week, nothing I hasn't heard from you with any new videos. I'm sad to hear Mr Amos us passed, but rejoice in his destination. Thank you for sharing, it is because of you I do everything Distilled water. You have a love that never ends.

[@misswidjaja]

Hi Tisha, I feel your struggle.. I have been through moving and finding a flat / apartment last year.. it will definitely come at the right time and unexpected.. all the best with the apartment hunting xx

[@thexxit]

I dont know about NYC, but where I live you can file a small claims court suit with your landlord over the discrepancy ... if you want to go that route. You don't even have to follow through with the suit if they resolve it but usually it gets them moving fast!

[@Trishagram]

Where are the apartments? I follow a family that lives in Harlem. I loved visiting NY. Many memories. Lots of luck. First time viewing your video.

[@idalmycastro5323]

Good luck, Tisha. Hope you can have everything you dream❤.

[@helenbenicaso]

I love looking at your NYC apartment hunt. It is real. So sorry it has caused you such consternation. Thank you for your videos.

[@conniechuha3113]

Oh girl! You're going through it. My life has been a shit show of mishaps for 6 months now. 😅... does it ever end? Hang in there. ❤

[@TishaShrestha]

OH NO!!!!! I hope things get better for both of soon ❤

[@marianamalfaro]

You won't regret it. What is meant for you, is meant for you. Your perfect apartment is waiting for you!!! Your hard work and perceviereness will pay-off! Im sure of it.

[@TishaShrestha]

Thank you so much♥️

[@francesco2581]

omg11 so many things to takr care of. I hope you find the apt soon my dear. I enjoyed the video! thanks for sharing with us, Love Andre

[@christinaelliott8565]

Learned much about NY apartments. Don't think I'll move there. I currently live in Oakland near the top of a hill in a transitional neighborhood. Live in a 1920s middle unit of a triplex with private parking, backyard with veggie and orchard growing area. It's 850 sq ft, one bedroom, original windows in living room w/ 1920s vibe (original) though all the other windows are double paned and new with screen, private deck off back entrance, has washer/dryer combo, all appliances including a HUGE gas oven and range, original large and plentiful kitchen cabinets, under-the-stairs closet off the living room, medium sized bedroom closet with a dormer off the bedroom window with two double windows, original hardwood floors that look lived in but have no paint stains, and much more......all for $2,300 per month (water and garbage included). Downsides: no sound or temperature insulation at all. Thank goodness I am respectful of my neighbors and they of me. The floor slants in the first floor quite a bit, so I had to use various materials to level it out for my office "closet," large bookshelf, and three large metro shelving units completing the walk-in pantry. The one thing that I can say about my home is that it was very clean and freshly painted in a color that I requested. While moving in was a year+ long process, it feels more and more like home and is highly functional. Do you all in NYC get to know your neighbors well? I am of the impression from videos that is not the case.

[@shehan7353]

Re the charges, idk if you took pictures before you moved in here but going forward, take pictures of EVERYTHING before you move in. So when you move next time they can’t argue

[@sophieschoices9663]

Maybe she can use the yt videos?

[@thestrwbrrygirl]

I am currently looking for a new apartment as well but in Ann Abor, Michigan. It is a difficult city to find a place. Thank you.

[@Freebirddee]

The studio apartment is great!!

[@TishaShrestha]

it was beautiful!!!

[@gabbygabbygabbyoioioi]

Ahh this seems so stressful! I really loved the first one you wanted and the one you declined, but when they go with someone else just for the fee…that sucks and, with the second, you went with your gut. Is there a reason why you can’t go back to Jersey briefly and take more time to look? Dealing with staying with that awful management with their scammy behavior for another month seems to be an even bigger additional stress and Jersey is super close by.

[@Billy33753]

Good luck with your search! The right apartment will come when you lease expect it

[@starr6465]

Take pictures of what you see at the very beginning and always and only send Emails. Look in Bklyn NY Also near Prospect Park

[@ginagonzalez6547]

The way things are going in NYC. Everyone here is having such a hard time, people are living NY. Things are not getting better, they are getting worse. If you are working in NJ. The best thing is to live in NJ. If weather is not an issue, I myself would move there. I'm done with NYC. Can't wait to move elsewhere. Nonetheless, good luck apartment hunting. Hopefully next video you put out, you have found a very good apartment close to work.

[@susangholson960]

Oh my, you piir girl...such an ordeal. Prayingvyou find something lovely soon. Im glad you have your dog for support. They are the best❤

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Tisha happy Monday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@mystic557]

I watched every last minute of this video. I'm so sorry this wasnt a successful session of apartment hunting but the perfect one is just around the corner, I just know it! The apartments in this video did look miles better than in your past videos. The Hells Kitchen apartment looked promising since it'll be renovated and had a decent amount of space and light!

[@dimitrabir.4177]

Offfff I'm stressed just by watching the video i can't imagine what you are going through!! I really enjoy this type of content though 😅.... I truly believe your dream apartment is out there waiting for you!!!

[@cindydean1840]

Looking forward to your next vlog…..

[@TishaShrestha]

Thank you ❤

[@AnnGoldberg-t4c]

Loved the studio! But don't worry, you'll find your home!

[@laceknot1584]

First apt cute Second apt 🗑 Third apt nice wood flrs ONLY Fourth apt nice kitchen/bthrm Fifth apt not enough light Sixth apt spacious Seventh apt nice view Lenox Apt nice just dark I HOPE YOU FIND Something soon😊

[@joangravelle8455]

I loved the really large one bedroom.

[@lovemyscotsman]

You're not supposed to use your deposit to pay rent. It's for the landlord to use for damages if necessary. Then they usually have 30 days to refund your deposit. You were lucky the building manager didn't make you pay January's rent.

[@TishaShrestha]

Circumstances here are different otherwise I would have never done that. I had so many issues with the apartment - roach, mold, gas bill charges (when I should not be charged), etc. All of the issues are explained in detail in my older vlogs. Due to the mold issue, they agreed to allow to break my lease with no penalty and full security deposit back. Due to how they handled the gas bill, January rent was handled this way. Hope this clarifies it

[@stephaniea1398]

Wait, why didn't you apply to the one that was being completely renovated and not on the market yet??That one is going to be beautiful!!

[@KW-up2ox]

Keep hope alive! You’re gonna find a good spot & I think it’s a good idea to give yourself a few extra weeks to see what’s out there!

[@irenereeves5037]

I love your apartment hunting video content. Maybe you should continue it after you find one. I'm not moving to NYC, but love seeing the apartments. I was born there BTW. 😊

[@susanmulvey6311]

last time your video came up I enjoyed it, but I didn’t subscribe. So I haven’t been watching you, but today your video popped up., And I did subscribe because I want to see what’s happening with your apartment hunting. Good luck!! Love your doggie!!🐶🥰

[@denverdubois5835]

Wow, I was really hoping you were gonna get the studio--it just had the best vibes by far and nice light, clean, great storage etc. Oh well...I guess it isn't safe to negotiate the broker fee as long as the broker has the power to give your apartment to someone else! (I feel like that shouldn't be legal somehow...) I'm glad you didn't settle though. You're going to have to live with your choice for a year or two so it's worth the extra effort. Totally support you leaving your current flat though. You've made your space as nice as it can be, but the building itself is such a dump. Good luck! At least this crop of apartments was considerably nicer than the last one!

[@brenell1273]

Wow. The rent is really high. Hopefully there is enough income to cover the cost of living.

[@SpringRae]

Wishing you all the best of luck my dear! You are so sweet and kind may all great things come your way 👍🏽🙌🏽😊

[@shirleymurphy1958]

New York ! Hope you fins an affordable one.

[@LillyoftheValleyAZ]

Might want to get rid of the stuff you don’t use daily. Wouldn’t hurt. W/D is a must! Good luck!

[@sp1970ful]

Its a really challenge finding an apt in NYC and I am laways fascinated and how people will show an apt and it looks like complete trash. Keep at it hopefully you find the right fit also please check the NYC housing lotteries and apply you never know.

[@TishaShrestha]

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I’ll apply for it even though it may not be applicable for this year… who knows timing could align next time

[@dianebaker5243]

Thank you for sharing this video.👍🥰

[@TishaShrestha]

Thank you so much for being here ♥️

[@merrybeth627]

Keep on going Tisha 💜💜💜

[@TishaShrestha]

thank you 💜💜💜

[@louisethomas2948]

Keep going you will get there. I enjoy looking at the apartments but realise it is tough for you.

[@maricor4791]

OMG the guy that just came over and started talking to the camera scared me. Please be careful! I see that this happens a lot when you walk and talk to the camera. Please stay safe!

[@KactusKM]

I was thinking the same thing - when she’s engrossed in filming is when a criminal can take advantage. Best to remain alert and aware of surroundings!

[@kseniaksu4007]

35:09 how did you manage to pay January rent with your security deposit? Did you read past reviews about them not returning it or why? They usually never give a security deposit before a tenant moves out, it is against the law.

[@pelipequi1493]

Make sure they are light.

[@makeyourselfathome6826]

The studio was gorgeous

[@TishaShrestha]

I regret it so much for negotiating the broker fee 😭

[@belle6219]

"I wouldn't look in there." 😱Run away!

[@TishaShrestha]

😅

[@auroras_hairpins]

Stay strong!!! We’re rooting for you 👊👊👊 and boooo for mysterious charges 🤬🤬

[@dan.8922]

I feel you… ❤ I am looking for an apartment too but in Amsterdam and my face is full of spot for the stress as well 😅
