The 40x rule says you can rent up to $2325 but probably want to keep it under $1500 if you want to have any semblance of a life. Look for a roommate…or three. Also Jersey city might be a good option with quick access to the WTC . Good luck.

Not 2200k but 2200 🤣. But agree with A2. OP will be more than fine.

Anything on the J will be good, so you could look in BK on that line. Bushwick you can get something nice

Justifiable? idk

Lowest you’ll pay is $1500 with a 40 min commute
Could also pay 3k with a 15 minute commute

Jersey City. Newark or Harrison stops

Flatbush and close to the Q. Not gentrified as much so rent is lower

Would budget up to $1800 with a roommate, that’s how much I paid when I moved here and made $90K. I was able to save and still have fun.

If Manhattan Hell’s Kitchen and Murray Hill are both reasonable commutes to FiDi and relatively cheap

Looks like I live in a luxury building that is rent stabilized (getting this validated by NYC HCR). I signed a one year lease that is coming up for renewal. This lease has a legal rent (e.g., $10K) but I have been paying the preferential rent (e.g., $3K). Am I entitled to a renewal? Can the rent increase cap per the NYC rent guidelines board (couple %) only be applied by the owner on the preferential rent that I have been paying?
Rents are through the roof. Hoping for some legal protection.
