Apartment woes
So my landlords just dropped the bomb today that they plan on nearly doubling the rent when my lease expires in two months. People often ask me how I'm able to keep Stay Free! solvent and the answer has always been some variety of: below-market rent. Urgh. I feel like a family member just died (though not a very close family member). So I have a new excuse for not blogging now -- for the next month or two I'll be searching the hinterlands of Brooklyn for an affordable apartment. Wish me luck.

Hi Carrie,
We don't know each other but I know Joe Gaer a bit and I wanted to suggest checking frequently on the (labor-intenstive but quite value-laden) low-income rental info available on nyc.gov
