This Tiny NYC Apartment Just Wont Rent... Why?

[@rebeccaa2433]

When there is no common space/living room, that means it's only a one bedroom and one of the rooms is used for a living room. What's with these landlords saying here's a two bedroom, but no living space?

I made a terrible mistake when I rented my Queens apartment back in July. When I first looked at the apartment I made sure it had a sink sprayer and medicine cabinet. The place checked all the boxes so my fiance and I decided this was the one so we signed the lease. The day came to move in and one of the first things I did was run to the sink to check the sprayer and to my utter dismay, it was clogged and didn't work! I still have yet to replace it and let me tell you it is a huge inconvenience! I think I am finally going to bite the bullet and fix it this weekend. Cash, thank you for really showcasing how important it is to have a sink sprayer, especially when you don't have a dishwasher in your house!

[@SohiHien]

I never use my sink sprayer and wash all my dishes. Honestly don't see much use for it, it is just as easy to rotate the tap and wipe with a sponge/cloth if needed.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@SohiHien Or fill a cup up with water and pour it over the sides of the sink. Sprayers might be easy to use but I always think to myself that these fancy additions haven't always existed and yet we made do before them. Now complaining about the lack of a washer or dryer, that I understand because getting around that is much more difficult and time-consuming.

The kitchen was opposite the bathroom down a little hallway, and from what I remember had a decent amount of counter space and full-size appliances.

I love watching these videos. Living in NYC for years, a lot of apts I've seen are like a comedy act. I guess if you leave your apt and take your light bulbs with you, does that mean you weren't happy living there? 😂

[@LucyLynette]

Apartment dweller from another state: In our last place, we replaced the supplied cheap incandescent bulbs with much pricier LED bulbs when the old ones burned out. Considering management dragged their feet for over 2 years on replacing the failing florescent light in the kitchen (the only interior lighting they were responsible for), we didn't feel we owed them the goodwill of leaving our LED bulbs behind. As a general rule, "taking the bulb with me" is exiting tenant code for "management owes me that much." It's a sign you need to look into reviews of the building, because there are probably maintenance and management complaints with some merit behind them.

I thought my first London flat was tiny because I had to share a kitchen and washer/dryer with the other flats. However, at least I had room in my own space for a queen bed, a desk, a TV cabinet, a loveseat and my en suite bathroom. That space would probably cost me $1500 in NYC now.
