sadly, if you're paying your landlord 50% of your take-home pay on rent, you're a rental lemming who should be living elsewhere, and you'll never ever save enough for a downpayment. get thee out of the LES crap studio immediately.

13) Your wife can't enough sex because your epic virility transcends all other mammals, and you bought her a nest made from a finely shredded first edition copy of Never Cry Wolf, personally signed by the great Farley Mowat.

...and for my little buddy w67thwannabe- Votre femme ne peut pas assez de sexe parce que votre virilité épique transcende tous les autres mammifères (et vous l'avez achetée un nid fait de finement shredded la première copie d'édition de Ne crie Jamais au loup, personnellement signé par grand Farley Mowat)

ah, yes, petr showing those noble liberal tendencies again. taking 50% of his tenants' take-home income in rent for self-described "crappy studios." what landlord school taught you that renting to tenants who are paying you 50% of their income is a good, ethical business practice?

aboutready - care to comment on your husbands parasitic law practice?

What is worse charging 50% of someone's take home pay and giving them a place to live in Manhattan or representing an accident victim or someone who got ripped off and take 35% + costs of the settlement they receive??????

Or charging $650/hour for legal advice when you actually have a $30K per year paralegal do all the work for you while you sit at home with your phat assed wife bitching about how much you are going to scam from Stuy town whole in the wall.....

nice try petr. my husband is in corporate litigation. one big company fighting another. the only work my husband does involving individuals is his pro bono work, which is significant.

i'm sure you'll tell me now that you've given rent abatements to people in need.

you take 50% of someone's income for a "crappy studio." i presume they have no other alternatives. my husband's clients have plenty of alternatives. once again, how do you reconcile your purported liberal beliefs with accepting tenants who can only rent from you by paying 50% of their income?
