aww.. name calling, not a racist, just tell it like it is and the truth hurts.

Dont be a dick, you wont get shot... its a simple yet effective rule.

Posted by: Xander Crews at July 14, 2009 12:33 PM in response to Closing Bell: Shooting in Front of 370 Lafayette

So the guy that got shot was an asshole, and rule of thumb if you are an asshole and mess with a cop, the chances of getting shot increase.

Posted by: Xander Crews at July 14, 2009 11:10 AM in response to Closing Bell: Shooting in Front of 370 Lafayette

This has a lot to do with real estate, if you were a prospective home buyer you know not to move to that shitty block regardes of how "up and coming" Corcoran calls it.

Or maybe you want to if you're looking to score some crack and now you know where to cop.

Keep up the good work Brownstoner,

I hate cops just as much as the next hippie jerkoff, but this looks like a by the book shoot. Hope the cop gets promoted to something better than narcotics.

Posted by: Xander Crews at July 13, 2009 6:07 PM in response to Closing Bell: Shooting in Front of 370 Lafayette

i am just glad it was a black cop that shot a black perp, that's the last thing we need more al sharpton garbage.

If the seller doesn't sign the contract its meaningless, put some pressure on the seller to sign or roll the dice that a higher offer wont come in, because if it does you might be SOL.

Hi, Even if they have money.. you really don't want a tenant who doesn't want to be there. it's just a headache. Let them do all the leg work and you just screen in the end like I and a few others have said. Better to have someone that wants to be there in there IMO.

Where is the apt? I know a couple that is looking to rent in Brooklyn for Dec. 1. They are coming from England so I'm helping with the hunt. Maybe we could talk offline.

Posted by: blowfish at November 3, 2009 3:47 PM in response to Tenants Breaking Lease

The apt. is in Central Slope, nice block. It's two bedroom plus office, very elegant, thoroughly renovated with some original details. Current tenants are paying 2850.00.

Posted by: gale at November 3, 2009 3:54 PM in response to Tenants Breaking Lease

OK, sounds nice but nevermind-- I think they're looking for something about $2K, even if its tiny. Just the hubby working. Thanks anyway.

Posted by: blowfish at November 3, 2009 3:58 PM in response to Tenants Breaking Lease

I have alot of tenants breaking leases over the years. i never ever charged any one of them. its just easier to let them go and take anything farther to court etc.. waste of your time etc..

its always easy to find replacements.

Posted by: armchairwarrior at November 3, 2009 4:03 PM in response to Tenants Breaking Lease

Snowbunny and blowfish,
We have a 1BR in prime Prospect Heights available from Dec 1. It's newly renovated with w/d in unit, beautiful original mantelpiece and wainscotting, and brand new everything--wood floors, eat-in-kitchen with ss appliances (incl. dishwasher) and bathroom with radiant heated floor. It's on the ground floor of a beautiful brownstone (no garden access). Rent is $1880. Email me at 3bestboys@gmail.com for more info. Thanks.

Posted by: ursulax at November 3, 2009 9:14 PM in response to Tenants Breaking Lease

I'm actually interested in renting a 2-bedroom apartment, preferably in Park Slope or Windsor Terrace, beginning either 1/1/10 or 2/1/10. Ground floor preferable but not necessary. Any landlords out there, if you have anything please contact me at presto1972@live.com.

Posted by: presto1972 at November 3, 2009 10:31 PM in response to Tenants Breaking Lease

I would advertise no fee by owner of course but also give it to a few brokers and use the security deposit to pay the fee for a lease starting 12/15-1/1. RENT it in december; do not, under any circumstances, let it go unrented into January because Jan is the start of "nothing doing" season and that sticks around until April.
