Renting or sharing an apartment

We have all heard horror stories about the roommate finding process or the search of an apartment. Unless you have a guarantor or you make 35 times your monthly rent, chances are probably inexistent to find a place on your own.

Si vous utilisez une agence ou un broker, vous pouvez avoir accès à de nombreuses photos en ligne et faire une recherche par zone, date de disponibilité et taille. Cette recherche peut s'effectuer avant le départ mais il y aura des frais d'agence qui correspondent à 15% du loyer annuel.

• We work with a trendy flexible room rental company that makes city living easy. They provide students with fully furnished bedrooms in vibrant neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
