Did it. Really NBD as the PATH is as fast and easy as the subway. Don’t expect massive rent savings.. best you’ll do is save the city tax.

Lol...yeah @McK1, the Path sucks. It has its pros however the biggest con is that it’s really congested and the weekend schedule is the worst.

It's like living in bk but saving 1k a month. Also EWR is like a 15 min uber.

Yeah only thing that really makes a diff besides the normal work commute, is going out on weekends and having to deal with long Path wait times

I’ve lived is JC for 2 yrs - but travel every week so being in Manhattan is not a priority for me. Being 15 mins from EWR is perfect. I have a lot of friends who commute into Manhattan and even Brooklyn every day.

40 min door to door to the office, live by a Path station (on top to be exact). I have no plans of moving away.

Anyone here understand lease jargon?

Signed a lease in Feb & got a great deal in a new rent stabilized apt (not sure how, but somehow stabilized in a newer building).

I’ve looked over my lease recently for something & noticed there’s a rider stating preferential rent is only for the term of the lease & then can be increased to the legal regulated rent. In 2019 I thought the law changed so that all renewals needed to be based off preferential rent & could only be raised with new tenants?
