NEED ADVICE PLZZ!!
I am looking for an apartment (specifically tribeca/fidi) starting sometime in mid July as I start school here in NYC in mid August.
I've been touring and haven't seen a ton of inventory that is projected to come available over the summer in the buildings I've looked at.
I found a perfect apartment in fidi that I absolutely LOVE. I got approved and the lease is waiting to be signed. But the issue is that it's ASAP and I really don't want to pay an extra 2+ months rent (since it is quite pricy). And I won't be using it as I'll be traveling.
I hear that NYC rent (specifically downtown by some other schools) just shoots up in price and gets super competitive come the summer because of all the students. But will it be that bad that I won't be able to find something reasonable? How much does it REALLY increase? And will there REALLY be nothing or are the leasing offices lying to me?
Any advice is welcome I have no idea what to do!!!!
