- High rent costs are impacting people nationwide, especially in New York City. A viewer spoke to CBS New York's Elle McLogan about her struggle to make ends meet and keep a roof over her head.
If you keep paying 50% and more of your income on rent, when you get old, youll never retire.
Exactly ❤❤❤

@JamesDeWalt909BRUHHHHH!! 😅😅😂😂😂
That is correct. You be working more jobs to keep up with the costs of Rent and cost of living. There’s no rest to have retirement.
In the 60s 30s 80s 70s the cost of living and paying rent was quite different. But people had a life and also had time for families. Even now there’s no time with family or life it self to survive living in New York. I now live in Florida. Because there was no choice of the matter. I was forced to leave because the crazy high rents. If it were not so high. I would pack up and move right back. I miss New York so much. It’s the place I was born. I was so angry at the landlords for raising high rents . I am on disability. So there was no way to find affordable rent to stay.
Why live and pay taxes in NYC when they waste it on criminals?
Higher salary standard/ safety as compared to other cities, public transportation and the chances to work for the most prestigious companies in the country
nyc has a lot lower crime than most places in america, especially queens
They vote incompetents in to rule them; so they have no reason to complain.
Safety?
@@rkm5369yup despite all the crazy stuff on the news I still feel safer in NYC than most other major cities on the east coast.
meanwhile Venezuelans that just got here were accepted to city programs like FHEPS !!!! i know one family that only pays 150 dollars a month on her rent and she gets ebt cards and half of MetroCard's !!!! its outrageous!! here i am a single American no kids 2 jobs making ends meet cause my groceries is sky high !!!! FJB !!

Went to a shelter my friend works at. Free food. Free schooling, cellphones, and even get their laundry done for them. And they're getting working papers so some have jobs and send money back to their country
Thank the Democrats.

Good for them.
Hearing stories like this, makes me realized that it was a great idea to move back in with my parents in Florida back in 2021. My heart goes out to all of these people. This is wrong to raise the rent by this much. Greed is not good.
Yet city giving ILLEGALS DEBIT CARDS???
Democrat policies
How discouraging, being taxpayer, needing help from your government, and watching them help anybody and everybody is not a citizen flooding in.
If rents are also being raised on businesses, many of them won’t be able to stay either. This rent issue will destroy neighborhoods… all because of greed.
Care to explain how raising rent so high that no one rents and the buildings are left empty is a money making strategy?
Let the chips fall where they may. So be it.
There are no mom and pop stores around, hardly any family owned restaurants or even high end boutique stores around because the rents are so high. This has been going on for years especially in NYC. They wait for a franchise chain to take up the space. That's why there are Duncan doughnuts and Starbucks on every other block.
I’m glad I pay $558 a month for my mortgage here in Illinois. I feel sorry for people that are struggling, it’s hard!
Meanwhile I pay $1500 a month for a 2 bedroom here in NYC. I'm moving.
Omg I wish I was paying that much!
@KNByam
where do you live?
when do you plan to leave...I have an interest
@Sweetjojo483 Bushwick Brooklyn. WhatbI pay is cheap for the neighborhood. Mostly what they're renting now is rooms, and small rooms. The housing market in NY is a sham. High prices but hardly anyone stays more than a year.
@@KNByamnigga wat? Thats cheap for a 2 bedroom
Back in the day rule of thumb was your housing should not exceed one week of gross income. Something got derailed along the way.
Yeah, cost of life. No one with any logic expects cost of living to stay the same through out decades. Facts. 💯
@@skorpio1119Should we also not expect wages to rise with inflation? Should we expect housing prices to be fixed and artificial scarcity of housing stock?
Why should the ‘cost of life’ increase arbitrarily out of the bounds of the average person’s ability to afford basic necessities?
Stop being an apologist for the 1% that doesn’t give a crap about you.
@@Don.M. Only morons expect to pay the same rent & same prices for stuff that they paid 20yrs ago. It's one thing to say we have inflation its another thing to expect for everything to freeze in time just because you don't care to do shit in life. Stop blaming success of others for your lack of drive & ambition. 💯
How about stop charging people city income tax to live in a declining city full of crime .
Move to Kentucky, malaka
The big question is, who are the people willing to pay the high rents that enable landlords to do this?
We know who
It's unabashed greed houses 🏘 are expensive at 500k to 900k where I live.

Blame everybody, except Biden...🤣🤣🤣
Bronx NYC... I noticed that jewish are buying old houses and buildings , hiring illegal workers and contractors to so call remodel the properties and rent them for 2 times the prior rent . The bronx isn't Brooklyn , there is a whole lot of gang shat out here ... graffiti already covering those buildings ... that's how you keep that scum out ! If they really cared they would hire documented workers and fallow building regulations... wonder why buildings falling on people's heads . There is your answer . Scumbag landlords and politicians corruption
I’d be nervous living in these buildings the way they keep coming down

Wise choice. Don’t waste your money. Self care is self love 💕
I know I wish this was the early 90s
1/3 of your income is the max amount to live comfortably. Many renters in cali spend above 40%
That's true nationwide. The problem is is that there just aren't any rentals for most of these people that hit that 1/3rd mark. They don't exist, so you end up having to go with one that takes a bigger junk out of your income.
Here in NYC, affordable housing is not affordable for a single person. This is a reason why apartments have roommates everywhere the working wage is only enough to pay rent for normal people and they spend 2/3 of their income on rent and the other 1/3 on food, work travel fare, and utilities. After that, it's Ramon soup because that's all that's left over to afford, and you still are classified as making too much money to be accepted by welfare, aka public assistance for food stamps.
@@mitchcarter442reminds me of the Industrial Revolution when kids and adults used to rotate over sleeping in a bed because they weren’t paid to afford one. We are really going backwards.
It is same in Washington state rent is too much & buying a house is out of the question right now the down payment is between 80k to 130k
Same situation in south Florida, yet new 5-6 story bldgs keep popping up with studios starting $2k+. There’s no help for seniors on SS. The homeless population is increasing with seniors being the largest group to join its ranks. It’s disgusting!
Years ago rents were so much more reasonable. Now landlords and just the people in control of pricing structures are incredibly greedy. The city puts up a lot of cameras to basically steal money from people but little is done to lower food costs or rent costs or anything for that matter. The amount of retail vacancies is a sign of what’s to come. Massive homelessness and incredibly poor quality of life
Landlords, etc. have done it to themselves by being too greedy. No one will rent their properties if they're so expensive, & will have too many vacancies as a result. And _they'll_ be the ones losing money.
If you don't make $40 an hour, or more than $75K per year, make that $100K to live comfortably, then you'll be out on the street or living with relatives or friends.
if you make 75k a year and cant afford rent/food you have a serious spending problem
@@MaksimIzer you're out of touch with reality!
@@MaksimIzer 75,000 isn't that much that what is pretty much needed for places to rent you a crappy apartment
@@MaksimIzer Not a lot of money anymore.
@netsfan718
The 75k isn't the problem, it's the 36k in rent you've got to fork over
Its to the point where its either shelter or food.
Landlords raising rent is crazy. I’m a partial landlord with my parents and we’ve never raised rent on current tenants. Our tenants did end up with higher utility bills but that’s due to the companies and not us.
I agree! I'd rather have a dependable long term renter than a revolving door. Plus it's just wrong to be so greedy.
You own a house ? Do you pay the mortgage or expenses or your parents pay everything ? Do you have any idea how expensive it is to maintain a residential building !? So easy to judge when you're not faced with any bills.
@@skorpio1119 I own houses/condos with my parents. I have chipped in with the condo but the renter will help us pay it off soon so we won’t have to worry. We do pay for all maintenance work only if they call us. The condo facility does their part to maintain the pool and hot tub. The home is nearly paid off with renters help and a local realtor has done her fair share as different state. We don’t charge high rent.
@@xwrtk No business judging owners of buildings that have enormous expenses. You are nowhere near their level of financial responsibility.
@@skorpio1119 They haven’t asked much for me but besides, my parents don’t even that much financial responsibility now anyway as renters are filling the very small gap.
Our government cares more about illegals than actual citizens. The government could help… But they have said illegals are more important important than citizens.
Paid off my house 4 years ago. It's mine now.
It'll never be yours. You still have to pay state taxes every year, and if the state or the government decide they want your house for ANY reason, they will take it, and you will have no say.
Only problem...the doubling of PROPERTY TAXES
Who cares, we don't know you, and you could be lying, lol!

The government needs to stop increasing the property taxes to avoid increasing rent etc
I don't get it. The homes are paid off or on a fixed mortgage interest rate. Property taxes does not justify the outrageous increases we are seeing.
Years ago a Black man ran on the platform “The rent is too high” people laughed at him. Black people have been redlined, priced out and property stolen forever.
Now people see he was right, many places are now zombie neighborhoods, slumlords are flourishing and just like the lady said how can we ever save money for the future. We can’t and that has always been the plan the only difference is it’s not just happening to BP anymore, welcome to the party.
I'll never forget Jimmy McMillan!! The rent is too damn high!
Yes he was really on point but was not taken seriously at the time. I don’t get it?? Rent is where a large part of our money goes and if it were reasonable people would be so much happier and less stressed

Our country gives our hard earned taxpayer money to fund other countries to fight wars, but ignore their own here. The pot is starting to bubble and will boil over eventually and our country leaders will go "what happened?" Terrible the way we Americans are treated.
And letting the border wall open & allowing all of these illegal immigrants over here to use up our resources.
Hope that these corrupt politicians everywhere are ready for another civil war or even a revolution to happen, because it will.
When does it end this scam?
Never.
We need the government to step up and STOP LANDLORDS FROM CHARGING WHATEVER THEY WANT. There should be a law that only allows a certain percent of the rent to be increased and it should be justifiable. RENTS OUT IF CONTROL, PRODUCE PRICES OUT OF CONTROL, UTILITIES OUT OF CONTROL, HEALTH CARE OUT OF CONTROL ETC!!! THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO HELP THE PEOPLE BY PUTTING IN STRICT REGULATIONS REGARDING ALL THESE MATTERS!!!
The city raises property tax...landlords raise rent.
You realize the government is the cause of rent increases right? Government intervention is never the answer and has consequences.
Regulation & building more housing are the only solutions.
In Finland, Northern Europe, there is a 15% cap on rent increases per year. The rent increase has to be a specific clause in the contract. Otherwise, increasing the rent is illegal. The landlord has to give a 6-month heads-up before the tenant has to move out. That's plenty of time to find a new apartment.
Similarly there is a national range for property taxes. I believe it's between 1-3% and municipalities get to choose a number within the range. The tax range is lower for residential buildings than commercial ones, for example.
Without regulation, things get out of control.
@@excitedaboutlearning1639 , Excellent!
$230 increase that is fucking insane

I've heard of people's rent going up anywhere from $150 to $500 per month when signing a new lease in the NYC/northern NJ area.

I don't see Rent Guidelines Board allowing savings on Market Rate Apartments, while they are forever fighting Rent Stabilized Apartments every October. I do wish Ms. Meyers well though as Queens also lost delis and butcher shops for similar reasons.
Here in NYC, affordable housing is not affordable for a single person as you still have to make 10x the rent to qualify for affordable housing depending on location and price. This is a reason why apartments have roommates everywhere the working wage is only enough to pay rent for normal people and they spend 2/3 of their income on rent and the other 1/3 on food, work travel fare, and utilities. After that, it's Ramon soup because that's all that's left over to afford, and you still are classified as making too much money to be accepted by welfare, aka public assistance for food stamps.

All this high rent, I call it nothing but greed.
Just stop paying rent like my tenant. She’s been living rent free for 3 years and I can’t get her out.
Your tenant sounds like a WACKO
😳
😥 that’s true..
She would have been evicted long ago if that were the case
You should contact your court system , for starters….
In her case I wonder why she doesn’t move in with her parents since she is helping them out in some fashion. She would lose some autonomy but save a bundle.
If they live in Senior citizen or assistant living housing she can't move in
Why are landlords raising rents?????? Because sorry to say it’s ppl like them who are willing to those ridiculous prices just to say they live in nyc
Everywhere people are struggling with rent and other things. The is a damn shame. 1/4 of our salary goes into Rent.
Not 1/4
This is crazy in AMERICA
Some people have really poor financial management skills. She didn’t know Forest Hills is mad expensive and didn’t she know her rent was going to increase once her lease was up?! Also, she made that choice bc she wanted to be near her parents. Oh well.
these are the people we need to help WHO HAVE BEEN here!
Not landlord's fault. It's rise in taxes, city water, labor cost for repairs.
I was born in New York City in 1955 in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan. I've lived in a rent control unit for 45 years because if I move, I cannot find anywhere affordable, and especially since I am retire. Some might say, why don't you leave New York City. I was born here and so was my parents and grandparents. I will be buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York with other family members in our cemetery plot area. No worries, I will be dead soon and I am not leaving NYC. Remember the song from the late 70's, Native New Yorker?😁
I love that song! rent control buildings do not exist anymore... you are lucky and a made a smart move to stay.
It’s folks like you that drive the rent up
Dead soon? You’re not even 70 yet. You could live another 20+ years if you’re healthy 😊 More time to spend in the city you love so much!
I’m paying high rent in woodside Queens but I love ❤️ New York and I happy here for me that’s all about .. I fell great
Live another day to pay bills
oh 250 would be nice what a whine box. MY rent has doubled since 2019 in Arizona
My new apartment lease in Austin, TX will be 10% lower than the last one. The landlord offered a cheaper lease without me saying a word.
Maybe she decided you look rough and must be po and took mercy on you.

@@akm960 smh 🙄 it's so annoying.
Exactly move to the south or Maryland where the housing is affordable to rent and buy. You can easily build wealth and real estate
And probably paying their medical bills too
Ugh. Landlords. I feel her pain.
Property taxes up from assessment values being up. Insurance rates are up massively, we just own a single private family house we live in but the insurance went up twice last year. All kinda shit you need for maintenance is up hard since covid days. Then we have like 170k+ migrants who came to nyc and they not all staying in shelters, demand up = prices up. New housing built last year wasn't even 1/4 the amount of illegals that came here forget about citizens.
It's bigger than that unfortunately! Greed all around, if people don't band together then this will be the outcome
If you moved to be closer to your parents is it possible to move in with them
Finland solved their homeless problem. Why can't the U.S.? Yea, I wonder why?????? Most of us know why.
Here's a couple of reasons: rent increase cap: max 15% annually. Rent increase basis must be specified in the lease agreement. Otherwise, the increase is illegal.
Tenants have 6 months to move away after being given a notice. Any period shorter than that is illegal. When the tenant wants to move away on their own accord, they need to give 1 month's notice. Requiring a longer notification period is illegal.
More housing is being built all the time and most of that housing is apartment buildings.
Cities have public housing for low income earners and students. I live in one myself and another complex of around 3 tall apartment buildings for around 3300 people is being built nearby.
In short, there is a lot of regulation that protects the tenants and there is a combination of public and private housing. And the city government allocates land for future housing needs.
In Helsinki, buying an apartment is a different story. The median salary in the country is around 3300 and that's about 2400 net. With a salary like that, you can only afford apartments built in the 60's or 70's as apartments older than that have been built in prestigious areas and are thus way of the budget range for most people and newer apartments are much more expensive than 60's and 70's apartments.
The apartments built in the 60's and 70's are good enough and most of them have had a lot of renovation done on them in recent years.
Indeed true belive this its hard to pay bills for everything we as human use honestly
It’s these Insurance companies. They keep raising rates so building owners have to raise the rates as well.
Houses are going for 600k, 700k, mortgages are for 4k plus a month without utilities, food etc. What is the percentage of people making that kind of money in new york.
You are not lying. I'm looking for a house. Average house in a decent neighborhood goes for $700,000. Bad neighborhood $600,000. I'm really sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out how people are affording $5,000 a month mortgages. It's insane.

Migrants crisis will make it worst unless the Government building more affordable housing. The cost of leaving going up and up.
You will be surprised to know that 80% of tenants on housing court fighting evictions are tenants residing at affordable housing units and are paying below market prices ranging from 150.00 to $500.00 a month.
Thats not the problem. The problem is those affordable housing units aren’t that affordable when they charge $3,000 a month for a studio. Stop blaming migrants rent was crazy before they got here.
They can't build fast enough even if they tried too. 173k illegals since last year or something like that. Just crazy amounts. We need to deport.
@@akm960 The migrants arent the only problem but they are 100% part of the problem. Dont ignore the reality bro. Demand up = prices up.
@akm960 yes they are the problem too more people more demand for apartments
one third isnt bad some people pay three quarters or more
Keeping rents too affordable will flatten the housing market..... Good landlords will not be able to upkeep the property and utilities with minimal rents.
Affordable? Far from!! It’s robbery
It's just the beginning
They need to restrict rent increases especially when these ladlords dont repair anything.
That’s exactly why I just bought a coop in Queens. It’s really the only solution if you don’t want your rent to go up, as even rent stabilization isn’t guaranteed, as it’s facing multiple legal challenges.
Ok, but keep in mind that your maintenance just might go up sharply. There’s no guarantee.
@@davido3746Maintenance isn’t some arbitrary thing like market rate rent that can be raised suddenly based on a landlord being able to make more profit; it’s based on actuarial costs, and living in a big enough coop complex with solid cash reserves makes it so the costs are spread out across so many units that they’re predictable and unlikely to spike sharply.
@@MattSezer true. HOWEVER, corruption in a coop board can throw shareholders for a loop.
@@davido3746 Yes, that’s why you hire a good attorney to investigate the coop before you buy.
@@MattSezer yep. And if you live/own in that building and that happens and you cannot afford the legal costs to investigate, sell. That’s what I did 😬

Used to live in Rego Park, I know exactly what that lady is struggling with. My perspective have changed so much since moving to California years ago. You pay all that money in Forest Hills to live in those crappy prewar apartments with all that damn noise coming from Queens Blvd, fire trucks/ambulances and construction work. I remember my last month in Rego Park National Grid were Jackhammering the streets at 1am on a weekday!
It's better in California? how so
@@pcf1177 Granted , you'll pay a lot of money here too but are some of the reasons its better:
1. Its VERY clean and pictureque in many parts of the state and neighborhoods
2. Nowhere near as noise as NYC
3. People are friendlier
4. Traffic flows faster, speed limits are much higher
5. Almost no traffic light cameras
6. Freeways (Highways as NY'er's call it) are an avg 5 lanes & for the most part cops don't mess with you unless you're driving like an idiot
7. No thirsty police ticketers waiting on corners for the milli-second the alternate parking goes into affect to ticket your car
8. Most apartments have laundry rooms inside the apt. No waiting on machines at crowded laundrymats and having to go early or late to avoid waiting in lines
9. Weather
10. Very low humitity
11. Rainy for a few months then dry rest of the year
I mean, It's not perfect out here but I can def go on...
1/3? That would be comfortable if possible. In my 20's every cent was spent, rent, bills, food, gas. Retirement didnt exist, its a luxury to think of it. Im just a millennial, but i just did what i had to. One year i had 6 jobs, sweeping hair, cashier, car shop inventory, toy store, pet store, while going to school and had 2 roommates. It doesnt seem people just a few years younger try very hard.

I have Section 8 my rent is doubling in past 3 years it was 1500 now they want 2700. Geeed 😢while i cant pay that.

They should raise the rent after renovations are completed. At least that...
Listen I was born in Bronx, NY and rise here in New Jersey and I would never move out from New Jersey because it much cheaper then living NYC, hell no I stay in New Jersey...
Same here its hard
We are all suffering! Something needs to be done asap. So many families are losing their homes because greedy investors want to make rent unattainable. Taxes in New York are also one of the most expensive in the nation, and landlords have no other option but to make rent sky high. Eventually, we all are going to live in the street.
So why don't you buy property and rent it below market value?

@marymackthequeenofwhack1996 not all New Yorkers vote blue. Unfortunately, most do. I'm definitely not one of them.
In 1989 i was spending 50% of my income on rent. I was lucky i had one of the cheaper rentals at the time. I had no choice but to work 60 hours a week or get a roommate.

Landlords just keep raising the rents. Without caring that jobs aint giving any increase in their salaries. This shit has to stop.
People just need to come together in unison and mass move out of these expensive states to cheaper parts of the US. See how quick cities like New York and Seattle drop those rent prices. Yes, the investment firms will follow the money, but at least you will be on the up side. When I look at abandoned houses in places like Detroit and houses renovated on the cheap, it just makes sense. Forget about, but I'm gonna miss the culture, the bodegas, the nightlife. None of that stuff cares about you.
Sounds good but too much mass migration 😂
Wow that is a big jump in your rent. The landlord should be ashamed. New York is just nuts. Everyone with any sense really needs to move out of that state. Is it really that important to live there? Get a job somewhere else. I know this lady has moved there to help her parents. Which is great but you need to get your parents out of New York for their own good. They should be relaxing in the country somewhere in their old age not in that crazy city. I just can’t figure out why anyone would stay there or in California too. That is another scary place . Who the heck is running these states and cities? They don’t know what they are doing. Oh wait a minute yup it is greed and no thought for the other human being. Yup it is greed. Peace to all out there in this crazy world. I really hope thing get better for everyone but I think it will get worse. I hope this lady can move to a different state and relax and be happier with her parents.

Why not do a story from the property owners perspective? How much more are they spending on maintenance? property taxes? city regulations?
Many landlords are greedy, The natural gas and electricity costs went up considerably as well.
Most landlords deny the interviews because they are living beyond their means too.
property owners raise rent not because they have to, but because they want to make more money. why would we have sympathy for people who are wealthy enough to own a property and can rent that property out, in addition to the place they are living in?
@@theendurance Don't worry, the RAPTURE is soon to come and I look forward to it.
No, you’ll never see that. NYC is anti-landlords and deem every landlord evil and wealthy. The amount of ppl who pay less than $1000 in rent for decades due to rent controlled apartments but still demand routine maintenance is alarming
Thanks Joe
No, thank the corporations. The economy is boomin for them.
Can her family help her move somewhere else outside of the city, further the better. And even better to move completely out of the State of NY
I fled Ny for good in March 22
I live in Nycha and work for the city. And yes it's hard to evict us. However, they increase the rent every time you make more money. It's like how I'm going to save money to get out of here. And don't have a savings or retirement/ pension account because they will include that as income. The ish is a scam.
