I live in a neighborhood that could be considered relatively prestigious. There's a house in my residential compound that is always on sale/on rent for some reason. Some renters arrived there. Nobody thought anything of it until our security guard pointed out that there were multiple men arriving at night to that house specifically. He found out there was a pimp working alongside a woman who would have sex with those men lol. There was a link on a shady web page and everything, describing all the types of things the girl could do with the clients. There were pictures of her from behind sitting by the stairs which are instantly recognizable 'cause those are the stairs everyone has at their house 💀. I live in a place where houses are not common, so everybody knew 😔. In the end, the security guard called the police and they got kicked out.
Apparently, the person renting the place didn't know this was happening at all. They were using an intermediary. A company that would get them the clients to have them rent the place. It was the company who got them to stay and some people speculate said enterprise knew 🧐. And by some, I mean me. I don't have proof, but I don't have doubts either as it was too shady🕵🏽♀️. lol. It was the scandal of the year for my residence. I just hope the woman is ok and safe but for that to happen in a residential compound where I live is very unusual 🫣

I was thinking 😝 oh nooo what if my new rental house is haunted because it’s a colonial built in 1940 🤭 but I looked it up and all I found were old society pages about the daughter of a minister and his wife who lived there so good for them!!!
In the past I was not so lucky…

- Streeteasy is pretty much the answer. You need to be checking and refreshing literally 15 times a day! You need to be addicted to your screen.
- Renthop is mostly a scam.
- I’ve heard of Craigslist working for some people?
- You need to make believe you work in sales and call/email/text the brokers shamelessly.
- There are some buildings that never really get listed, but you have to have pretty good social connections to find out about the units.
- Make sure your old lease and your new lease overlap by a day or two, because it’s really tough if they don’t.
- Movers are going to cost an arm and a leg. Try to do without if you can.
Sorry for the no good news!!!

Have you looked at Craigslist for lease takeovers? My sister found mine there as a lease takeover and I’ve been there ever since after officially taking over the lease and getting renewed. Legit only looked at one apartment and just did it. Another good place to look for that is Listings Project. I sublet my place there often and have had great experiences.
And lol it’s bad out there! Trying to decide whether to give my summer lease up since I want a change/some more space, but I’m worried about fucking myself over given the vacancy rate rn 🥴
