🥺🥺OMG MRBEAST JUST COMMENTED ON MY RECNT VID IM LITERALLY CRYING 🥺🥺
I like your videos. Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭
I wish I get an apartment in Manhattan I’ve been in Brooklyn for over 23 years. I only live in a house instead of an apartment. I always love the travel and John I’m trying to find something that makes me happy like some thing that impresses me to what mistakes I can’t make and where to live if I can’t be uncomfortable with mice and pest problems.
The seal between the wall/baseboard and the floor-super critical!! This guy knows his stuff.
Don’t these people know that rats and roaches and walk up vertical walls?
A deal-breaker for me is being above a bar or club (sound of the music also, people tend to be very loud when they're drunk and leaving at 2 a.m.). Another deal-breaker is an apartment with only 2-prong outlets. To me, that is a sign that the building has old wiring and I would want to live someplace where I could plug in my electronics without worrying about a short or an electrical fire.
I lived above a bar on UES for 10 years... never again. It was just huge and cheap.
@@Galworld761 stumble inn?
I always sleep with noise I leave the fan on or tv
I live right above a restaurant. I paid no attention to it before I moved in but it turns out they transform it into a club almost every night! I literally feel the bass in my kitchen and hear the bass in my kitchen/bedroom all the time! So it's not just bars and clubs, it can be restaurants too.
@@RUclipsfan567 Those are the worst since they go from normal restaurants to loud clubs from 8pm-4am. And many clubs attract the motorcycle gangs from out of town how like to rev their engines and do show off burnouts in the street at midnight. Fans and sleeping with noise canceling heaphones didn't even help. Never again.
Lack of light is a deal breaker for me. I learnt that the hard way.
Same. I wondered why I fought sadness constantly and as soon as I left I was so happy again. It really affects your mood
Same! It’s a dealbreaker.
I love how literally the FIRST thing you say is to check the water pressure, though I would add that you should also do the same thing in the bathroom, not just the kitchen sink, and you should fill up the sink/tub halfway and then let it drain, to see how the drainage works too. That was something I learned the hard way, when I rented my first apartment after finishing college, because it seemed nice but the water pressure and drainage were absolute garbage.
Omg thank you
❤
If anybody is fussy about street noise in NY, they're in the wrong city/place.
The only thing that bothers me is when people start blasting music past 12 like damn I got school in the morning lemme sleep
I thought the same when living in NY. But live next to night club row on Broadway and 200th St in Inwood and you might change your tune....
Some street noise is one thing, but noisy neighbors is the worst.
I lived for a month in NY and after that couldn’t sleep without “city sounds” on my phone for few months..
Some good tips that I wouldn’t have known. Some could even apply to buying a house.
Actually yes!

Most times after a tent moves out the land lord redo the entire apartment and there won't be many signs of rotents if the apartment is recently updated maybe around 6 months or to a year or when u start cooking and running water is whwn you see all these things.... When the land lord knows that people are coming to check out the apartment they will make sure the super cleans the hallway and take the trash out but once u live there especially if u live on the ground floor you'll smell the trash apartment that are in the back of the building may have really bad service so watch out for that and check for leaks under the sinks from the pipe and the back of the stove for rotents and check the water pressure in the shower too
actually that room is kinda perfect for us night shift nurses
I've definitely made a few of these mistakes. I'd also like to add: try your best to know about the landlord before signing the lease. It's somewhat impossible to know the landlord will be an issue until you've already moved in, but if you get any bad vibes before signing, RUN. I also recommend opening up the windows to smell if the air is fresh (particularly if the apartment faces alleys and courtyards). Big mistake I made
I had an apartment with a garbage shoot in the building and my unit shared a wall with the shoot. My place was roach city even though it was super clean and sprayed a lot. I will never live in a unit close to a garbage shoot again 🤢
Omgggg same! I will never do that ever again. I just moved out of an apartment where the shoot was literally right next to my door, like cutting into my apartment and separated by a wall. Roaches, fruit flies and it was awful!! Worst is the landlord hid it and lied about it before I moved in. I forced him to lower the rent because the flies were impossible to remove due to all the garbage people left in the room.
Most cities in Denmark has shout them off completely for the same reasons. Trash is mostly put into designated sheds in the backyards between buildings. We are mandated to sort trash in 10 different containers so we need the space for all of it. A shoot would be fruitless.
Not to be an "a-hole" but it's trash chute :)

Dracula room could be a perfect storage room!
hahahah. You'll never struggle to take a nap, don't need curtains.
Also a good place to do video editing - ambient light would be easy to control.
That's a lot of money per month for a storage room.
Dracula room would be great for someone who works the graveyard shift
Oh please, y’all just know that’s the mother-in-laws room when she visits! 🤣
The deal breaker for me would be BUGS of any kind! The window in the "Dracula Room" is pointless, it should just be sealed off... The windows with the cleaning supplies just outside looks like very easy access for robbers. If I looked at both of these apartments, I would keep on looking...
This is New York City. Good luck living here without ever seeing one.
Good window for an a/c unit. You have an exhaust area.
Bugs and rodents are inevitable in nyc. My first month living in my current apartment a massive water bug the size of my hand (not exaggerating) crawled on my foot. It's a feeling I'll never forget. And I live on the fourth floor of my building nowhere near the garbage.
@@user-ns1um8kq7i You have to deal with bugs everywhere
@@collan580 have you ever lived in nyc?
Having a window that seems to make a room darker than had it had no window, that’s a skill! But I did love the high ceilings.
Quite a skill!!
I want big windows
Water pressure in the shower is even more important (IMO) as I have long hair -- if it only trickles, rinsing shampoo and/or conditioner out could be a deal breaker.
As a maintaince worker in Park Slope Garbage and Recycleing is very important. Recycle paper and metal must have decals to know where to put your recycleables. anything that is not recycable is garbage. Buildings who dont recycle can be subject to fines by the DSNY
If you are in the Dracula room you could just fly up the shaft, it’s what any self respecting vampire would do. Just make sure to check whether daylight is a risk.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My two favorite RUclips guys doing a video TOGETHER! That was great!
Another tip related to looking under the sink would be to take a flashlight and try to inspect corners, floors and cupboards along with anything behind appliances if possible
For me, an absolute dealbreaker would be a basement apartment. I lived in a basement for a few years while I lived in Brooklyn. I hated every moment of it.
I love this collab! Hope you two do more together. Really helpful tips, appreciate it!
Yeah, we try to do a collab every month or two now.
The Dracula room is perfect for me to sleep in! Don’t know why people seem to be so keen to have a sunny bedroom. Typically you want things to be dark when you’re sleeping. I’d pick a window in the living room over the bedroom anyday. Plus dark Dracula rooms are perfect for night shift workers :)
Some people actually most do other things than just sleep in their room….
Or get blacked out curtains
Those NYC developers arent going to be happy till they have people living in the equivalent of Prison Cells, whilst charging you top dollar for it. My rent here, in Scotland, for a two bed Flat/Appartment, is only around £475 per month
Hmm, here in Scotland, yeah but where??? In the boonies? You can find those prices too in the US if you love living with the sheep!
Yes nyc is very expensive. Sometimes I wish they would lower all apartments to affordable prices and make that the set price for nyc.
@@AshleyLiveinthelifeofAshleyD sounds like a great idea! So all the Rockefellers of the world will be paying the same rent as the hamburger flipper at the local MacDonald's. Brilliant! Let's send it in writing to Deblasio 😉.
Yeah ..but it's Scotland ...and what language do they speak there ..?? ;))
I’ve lived in the same apartment in Bed-Stuy and my rent hasn’t gone up since 2008. I’m good!
Manhattan landlords.. sigh
How can your rent not go up for 12 years

@@gloriabowie5629 Good respectable landlord
two of my favorite NYC youtubers in one video! what a treat!
Cash Jordan’s channel is great. If we ever win the lotto or I make a film that makes money and we move to NY, he’s my guy.
hahaha
You had the best special guest. Cash is amazing. He doesn’t take his subscribers through the looking under the sink and chalking test...lol. Thank you for this video. I’m going to be a pro (when...lol) I moved to NY from the Volunteer State.
ahhhaha two of my favorite youtubers together - worlds colliding !
Garbage in the hallway will stink, The pricing is still ridiculous (2,995.00) !!!
It's going to rot.
And probably have pests
Deal breaker. They would have to empty it every 3 hours.
@chemb001 exactly. many ways to have rodents and roaches. bars/restaurants that leave food in bags, building garbage not constantly closed in a sealed container, neighbors that are dirty, mind you only need one of them. many sources in. in all the buildings i have visited, upuptown manhattan, i have been told: "you know, this is normal, it is ny". i've had them myself in my apt even though we never leave food behind, we take all food garbage out every single day, even pack up most things inside sealed containers. Useless, we still have had rodents visit us more than once. So hard to seal all potential gaps, but that is your only option.
@chemb001 most nyc apartments outside of manhattan don't have trash in the hall. Even if a stray roach wanders into your building from outside, it actually doesn't mean you'll have a problem either. It's pretty easy to tell when a building is infested if you look in all the corners of cupboards and closets.
I've had the same apartment in queens for almost 6 years and have never had an issue with them.
Great advice from my two favorite New Yorkers.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm watching this video as well and then Cash Jordan's version of this video. I love both of your channels and it's great to get both of your perspectives.
He didn't film for his channel that day, although he may have covered these seperately.
@@HereBeBarr Yeah. You are right. You both used the term "Rental Collapse" in your titles so I was thinking they might be the same, but they were different. Either way, they were both good videos.
These tips are very applicable to house shopping, to buy! Like water pressure, evidence of insects, sealed from intrusions.
My husband and I are retiring in 2 years. NYC is my fist choice for a new city. I love getting helpful hints and tricks like this on what to look for. Subscribed to both of your channels - thanks!
Only now deciding to look for apartments but that room is perfect for a nurse with a night shift
Great video! Let’s do another
For sure!! Every month or two I'm down to update the Members of the Barrio on the Rental world!
Really enjoy these NYC apartment videos. Keep up the great real estate rental tips!
5 years of living on the Upper East Side in the mid 80's in a walk up studio apartment. Watching this video is going to induce nightmares. So glad I moved away from that hell hole..Best decision I ever made.
Good Tips! Some of the stuff I never even thought of! Trying to rent my apartment so defiantly going to point out our clean garbage area and no rodents under the sink! Thanks :)
Who here caught my editing error 😂😂 !?
warp stabilizer requires clip pixel aspect ratio to match sequence (fix by nesting)
but what is the price of the first place?
Not me
was 2.89K or so i put it fast when we walked in.
Guilty ✌
I watched both of you before my move to NYC last year.
I love the sink and tap test.
Always look for bugs! Living above restaurants, bars = bugs. Great point about checking where garbage is stored. I have lived in apartments where people threw trash out in the halls and this was in a smaller town, not NY.
A deal breaker for me would be cockroaches, other bugs and vermin. If the apartment was FREE I would still never consider it!
Ughh.. sadly, that's fairly common in NYC at least at some point.
Good luck living in NYC or any other major city haha. I even get them in my South FL townhouse every now and then (not often). I hate when the lizards come in heh.
@@onlyzach1 I lived in South Florida many years ago (Coral Springs) and I well remember the Palmetto bugs, sugar ants, fire ants and all the other creepy crawlies lol!
@@onlyzach1 I prefer lizards vs roaches 😂😂
@@onlyzach1 oh God, how do you get them out
No washer & dryer in the unit is a deal breaker for me.
Our next apartment may not even have that in the building!
Not if there is a laundry room.
I live in Manhattan and have to go to a laundromat to do laundry
In NYC is rare to have laundry in an apartment. Some apartments will let you have a washer but not a dryer..its a mess
@@Asigedge combination washer-dryers exist! i have 1. its a real space saver. goes in dirty, comes out clean and dry
Love Cash Jordan & watch his videos. Surprised he didn't say that medicine cabinets were a dealbreaker 🤣 I'm in Australia but we look for similar things in rental places: location, street noise, cleanliness, storage space, water pressure, natural light levels etc.
I'm subscribed to his channel too and just got through watching his channel
deal breaker for me NOW would be an apartment above the 2nd floor with no elevator. before kids it was fine, not now with kids.
The first mistake is trying to rent an apartment in Manhattan lmao
Most New Yorkers live in the outer boroughs and commute
What a great combo the two of you make with this video 👏
A deal-breaker for me is if there are no Fios internet. Every year I'm stuck with either Spectrum or RCN. Verizon refuses to set up Fios in my building (it's suspicious). I have to connect to the internet using cables to get "good" speed. Wifi is trash.
Is “FIOS” referring to fiber optic? Cable internet can be comparable to fiber, but copper can’t compete. To do a full build in a building can be expensive, especially if the building is old. Sometimes providers want the building to pay for it, and often the building refuses.
Thats an amazing video. Love to see your vlog. Keep inspiring us to make awesome video.
Be careful living on top of a restaurant. I did and I heard the exhaust fan all day, and sometimes all night when they forgot to turn it off. I lived on the top floor, that is where you would hear it most.
Rats and roaches love restaurants!
I loved that "hidden" private roof-deck. Also, it looked like there was a little wine fridge in the second one (I'd co-opt that for film instead of wine 😂)
hahaha. Yeah that roof deck was a nice little surprise.
In my experience living above a restaurant can be very malodorous, especially if it’s a seafood restaurant. Also I’ve noticed more pest issues above a restaurant/bar than a non food/beverage CRU
Fascinating to see these rentals. Hope you are well.
Thanks Seth, you too!
Great video from two of my favorite RUclipsrs ! You guys are so smart and really funny ! Thanks ! 🤣🤣🤣
I know we're not going to end up finding out what 'hood you guys are moving to until the end of this series but the suspense is killing me. I'm placin' bets on Brooklyn.
ahahaha
Two of my favorite New Yorkers
Love this, guys. Thanks!
Good tips!
I don’t think I would take either. I used to be really into living in the city but now it means less to me. I’ll stay in Brooklyn for now and move to the subs next.
Same path I took.
Same. Moved to burbs and living my best life.
That commute tho. I can’t decide what’s worse, living in subpar conditions in the city with easier/faster access to your office versus the burbs and spending hours on the train. I have friends who metro-north in from CT everyday and it’s killing them.
@@EastSide-qc5oy For some people living in the further out neighborhoods outer boroughs a subway trip from South Brooklyn or the north Bronx takes as long or longer than Metro North from CT (especially hen the subway is having delays)
hansonel That’s a good point. Definitely depends on where you live exactly and where you work. Also some would argue Metro-North is a more comfortable ride. If your office is easy walkable from Grand Central, Metro-North isn’t so bad depending on where you are coming from (and how far you live from local Metro-North station).
Excellent tips, especially the water pressure, I'm moving in 3 months and will do all of these 🇬🇧
Check in the shower/bath, not just the sinks. Also check the drainage, like fill them up halfway and see how fast the water will drain when you let it out. I learned that the hard way, when I rented my first apartment after college lol
@@SRosenberg203 excellent tip , tysm
My fave tip to unsightly views is frezzer paper. You block the view but not the light
Great video! I appreciated the tip to test the hot water in the kitchen sink. We learned the hard way to test the temp of the hot water in the shower. Ask if you have control over the temperature of the hot water. I lived in a studio in another city up the coast with chronically lukewarm "hot" water. Had to pay a plumber to come in to adjust the temp on the (electric) hot water tank. Then my monthly electric bill was sky high LOL.
"Does the sink stink?" lol
Cash, please tell me I can depend on you when I move back to the city, looking for my apt in the city. I TRUST ONLY YOU!!
OMG! I can't believe you guys are together in this video! I just posted a comment to you the other day saying I'd been away from your channel for a bit---And it was because I was binge watching Cash and Charles! Yesterday I was thinking "I wonder if they know each other?" I take this as a Synchronicity Sign!
We love Cash Jordan.... Excellent video 😁
Thank you 🤗
Great pointers! Thanks!
When are you and Adriana moving! Now is a good time to get a better deal and more space! LOL, good tips in this video. The first place isn't too bad but I think for the price you can find a better place in that area. Dealbreakers: A walk-up, ( I used to live in a 4th-floor walk-up. Never again! Being above a bar is a no-no for me. Not good water pressure and water that is not hot enough.
Great tips! Just remember that warp stabilizer requires clip pixel aspect ratio to match sequence (fix by nesting) =p 0:44
Congrats 🎉 you’re the first commenter to catch my error ☝🏻☝🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice collab, I am subscribed to both channels.I Love all the tips cash give ( checking for pest for ex.),it will come handy when needed.
:)
Very good and accurate video! I would add facing south to get more light or do not rent above a restaurant to “avoid” rats
I just heard in some rentals the landlord controls the temperature; so if its freezing outside you can't do anything to turn the heat up! That would be a dealbreaker for me. Also, noisy neighbors.
That usually means that heat is free though! Radiators are legally included so you can save hundreds of not thousands during the winter when compared to places with electric heat.
I live in NY... big windows , has views and facing south west are important to me. I’ll pay extra for Balcony.
Great videos . Very interesting and well thought out. I love these videos. Keep ‘em coming.
Good tips! Usually pests, plumbing, and electric should be checked. As for preferences I only work in Manhattan but live in Queens because space space space! Not only living space but less neighbors, less people, less noise, more trees. And yeah I wouldn’t do walk ups - even with small elevator (prewar) had plenty of challenges.
Yeah, I understand why people avoid Manhattan.
Here Be Barr For me Manhattan not avoid but more work, visit, and then take a break from it 😀
Enjoyed seeing Cash sharing his expertise! He's a great source for info.
Incredibly helpful! Thanks and stay well!
Thanks Jon. I think having laundry, would be very important to me.
Yeah, not too common either.
Oh having laundry in your apartment is huge. Most buildings don't have laundry at all, and going to a laundromat is such a pain. I have a laundry room in my building, but it would be a dream to have my own units in my apartment lol.
Not NYC but man, looking for the sealant is a must. First apartment I moved into with my wife it was just an endless parade of bugs coming through the cracks. After one notable rainfall, the apartment even flooded. We later found out there were cracks in the foundation and eventually discovered mold in a carpeted (secondary) bedroom. That sped up our timeline to move.
That window is really dark!!
an understatement
And scary
It's not actually made to let light in, it's made to be an airshaft. You see these airshafts very often in older buildings, because back when these buildings were all tenement apartments, the city began mandating that every room have a window that at least allowed air to flow, people people were dying of disease so much in the late 1800s/early 1900s when they were packed into these cramped tenements with no air movement or light.
I'm having a good time watching these 😌
More grey brick tile design in the bathroom. Cash is the best!
I moved into my first NYC apartment based on a video (moved from out-of-state) and absolutely will use these tips next year when looking for new places! Just hope the prices stay down. My place is about $900 cheaper than it was the last time it was on the market and I still think it's overpriced.
@3:45 reminds me the rachel wakes up to neighbors morning song.
I would also look at ease of access as far as Moving in a couch of a double bed. Also carrying groceries in those cramped hallways also. Also the lighting of the hallways. The darker it is the creepier it is. The Smell also.
Hey Jon...u need to upload everyday..jajaja kidding...on a plane to PR rite nowww...gonna miss my City since no return ticket yet...great vodeoooo
Disfrutalo!
Love Cash!!!!! Love his videos!!!
I would definitely want the top floor..!!.I have lived on the bottom floor before, and believe me, the noise above me was AWFUL . .!. .checking for roaches and entries for rodents would be high on my list..👍👍
If it's a 6th floor walk up, no thanks.
@@HereBeBarr different people different preferences. I'd take certainly a sixth floor over a second one. At the end of the day you might walk up twice to your apt, but you have to deal with noises, mice, roaches every single second you are in.
Try living on the top floor wnd you're constantly hearing the neighbors above playing their music whenever they come in and out the building you can hear when their door slams, also you can hear the kids running back and forth. In the apartment next to them . And also hearing the moving and music from the spanish restaurant blasting because all the walls are super thin .smh..
Clean your apartment, I worked in building management and 80% of the apartments that have complained of rodents and bugs were absolutely disgusting, stoves, fridges, microwaves, ac units were never cleaned by the tenant! Bugs and rats gotta eat too and your apartment is a 5 star restaurant for them
The dracula would be a perfect bedroom. I like it pitch black!
I've lived above a bar for the last 5 years. Fully agree with Cash, can't get enough sleep and can't wait to leave.
Adding to everything that Cash, and you guys already mentioned probably if the location is too far from the Metro station is not good. Also if there is no laundry in the apartment (which I hear is already rare in NYC), and no laundry in the basement of the apartment building, then if it's not in the let's say couple of blocks area of the apartment then it's a deal breaker for sure. No sun a deal breaker.
On one of the odd numbered streets on lower east side there’s a Cookieplace called Insomnia Cookies. May be this is nearby.
Thanks for the tips! My dream is to move to NYC and my parents don’t believe me lol so ive been wacthing alot of your vids and its definetly educated me more bout the city and my future home. Keep doing what your doing, stay safe🤗🧡
Ignore yout parents. Plan and move. However the NYC today is not as exciting as the old NYC because of Covid.
This is just good advice for any apartment anywhere
Dracula room could honestly be great for gaming room like pc set ups, those LEDs, ect.
ideas, ideas!
the Dracula room LoL
Super helpful, thank you!

The first one was solid
