How did you find your Apt?
Are there alternatives to craigslist for renting an Apt? I tried the NYT, VillageVoice classified but not much listing. I’m looking for a studio/1BR around Prospect Park (Park Slope, Windsor terr) area. RANT: And what’s up with Brokers charging 1 months rent for showing 1-2 places? =( Is there a listing of building mgmt offices…

Is there a listing of building mgmt offices to avoid Brokers?
Just wondering how you got your Apt?
As annoying as Craiglist is, it’s really the best resource out there.
You should also, of course, send one of those obnoxious mass e-mails out to everyone you know. Annoying, yes, but they always produce some leads.
Plus, does your college have an alumni group in NYC? If so, bulletin boards often list rentals.
If you are willing to consider Ft Greene, my sister is looking to rent out her studio. She advertised on craigslist. I agree though that craigslist is really hard to search through because there are so many realtors that abuse it.
i found mine after browsing /nfa/ on craigslist obsessively. we ended seeing a great place in cobble hill and rented it directly from the owner — no fees involved.
classified tab is a great idea. would love to post open apt here.
berman isnt thaaat bad.
ive had far worse landlords.
Oh, and pls. get the classifieds running by end of summer. I will need a new apt. in the fall :).
P.S. Will sign waiver not to badmouth landlord on Brownstoner unless he is a total weasel.
YES! to the Classifieds
great idea!
you can charge a small fee and maybe just keep it to owners and not branch out to realtors
I cast a third vote for a classified section. What a great idea!
Berman has a couple of buildings on my block & we all feel sorry for the tenants.
I agree w/ the idea of a Classified section here – except so many people seem not to look in the archives – same questions asked day after day, sometimes even on the same day. Would people look at ads? Maybe if there were a dedicated tab?
