Income Requirements (Salary+Bonus?)

90k. That bonus isnt guaranteed for every year.

is this fresh money coming to prop up the market ?? hahaha

sounds like a floor in studios

40x is not a rule but a guideline. Most landlords will say yes. You can always pay an extra month of deposit to influence the decision.

Here's what happens when you pay an extra month of deposit:

u can afford 3k/month

I love these rules. Reminds me of the three months for a diamond ring rule. Maybe you can afford 3k a month, but that is well beyond your means.

I didn't meet the 40X requirement when I rented my first place and it worked out just fine. I think the landlord was more concerned about me having a regular income, which I did and I wasn't too far off from that requirement. I was young at the time and six years later when I moved out my salary had more than doubled and the rent only went up $150.

three months for a diamond ring rule is for diamond blood suckers to fool the retards

the real rule should be $300 tops for a ring

Brooks2, you must charm all the ladies.

In case anyone is accessing this information, NYC no longer allows advanced rent or security deposits beyond the 1st month rent and 1 month security deposit.
