NYC: TOILET JOINT
Really liked the apartment upgrade tips.
The price of THIS apartment isn’t $800…
@@gcchair7634She clearly said it’s 1900+ $ a month and a 2.5% increase ( maybe next year) would bring it to 1950
I don't have instagram and don't want tyo sign up for an account...is there any other way to contact you so you can do a tour of my new apartment here in NYC? Thanks CashJordan!
She is one of the few that got lucky. It is like winning a lottery. Most rent stabilize apt. are inherited thru relatives.
I've heard about this and it's so weird to me, that people can just hand their lease down to a relative like that, for 100 years if they want to. It's awesome! But also strange. 😂
Although, I guess it doesn't really feel very fair to everyone else in NYC who are struggling to find a place they can afford. That would suck.
My mom has a beautiful 2 bedroom, dining room, alcove studio,eat in kitchen bathroom and 30 ft foyer with 15 windows ( new double pane and screen) Beautiful trim , original 100 year old doors . First floor facing a gorgeous flower filled courtyard. Fully gated , intercom phone and camera protected. Over the years my dad has plastered and painted beautifully redid the ceilings . Put entire new kitchen cabinets and appliances. Retiled and remodeled the bathroom with new floor. There are 5 closets. He sanded stained and varnished the parquet floors. Installed all new wiring, light switches light fixtures and ceiling fans. The house is fully air conditioned and great heat . Thirty foot shelves line the foyer and we have a small butler’s pantry. Mom has lived there a long time. She pays $840. Rent stabilized tenants have the right to add an additional person to the lease. Just one , and that’s how it passes down.
Exactly. I have a 3 bedroom in Manhattan that I inherited from my mother. She always had me on the lease
Blissful Ignorance and Lucia (in the comments) have absolutely won the lottery!!
It's a beautiful apartment in the video. I never thought I'd like studio apartment, because the ones I've seen were rented by guys and looked terrible. She has done an amazing job. It almost doesn't look like one room. A screen in between the couch and bed would make a bedroom. Rent controlled!! She can have a pet! Dream apartment!
It would be a perfect apartment for someone in a wheelchair. No carpet, no doorways, low windows. Except for the bathroom it's perfect. I hadn't thought of a studio apartment as workable until now, because the ones I've seen are tiny and icky.
Unfortunately, apartment bathrooms are a nightmare for wheelchair users. I have muscular dystrophy and am in a wheelchair, so I'm always thinking about these things when seeing a house or apartment anywhere.
@@blissfularrogance3529 there isn't a cap on the amount. They just have to be relatives. My cousin has both her daughters and one grandchild on the lease. You can have all your children on the lease, most people got these when they had young children.
She’s the kind of roommate everyone dreams of when moving to NYC and the kind of tenant every landlord wants! So clean, organized and clever when it comes to saving space.
😭🥰 That’s very sweet of you, thank you! I try hard to keep a nice place, and I’m very grateful Cash let me show it off! So much fun!
@@Shieldsy.in.the.city3 such a great lady , very smart .and so beautiful .i did work in almost every restaurant in new york and Connecticut's .i would 💘 love to cook for you one day or show you great stuff to eat healthy and save 💰 money .when i come back from Alexandria Egypt .i would love to meet you .and invite you for a special drink .
This young woman has the Jane Krakowski VIBE!!!! Don't u think?? 🤔😊😊😎😎😎
CAMERA!!!! 99.9% she barrelly in that room except to sleep or Ya know be adult
@@Shieldsy.in.the.city3 you’re such a cutie
Wait, so she's paying $1938, not 800. Title is misleading as hell.
She has decorated her apartment with so much personnality, it is cozy and lived in. I love how she accented the decor with the same blue that she wears. She is very clever, lots of positive energy! : the dog door, the TV in view when she puts her make up. Everything is perfect!
Good on her for snagging such a great deal, in a gem of a neighborhood, and transforming it into a beautiful space. Positive vibes making for a positive life!
On her or in her? 😢
It's "good for" not "good on". Idk why everyone fks that up today and it's always annoying to read
How fortunate you are that such a trivial matter annoys you. I sincerely hope you understand how privileged you are, as so many of us have significant and impactful issues to deal with.
@@vanzarockin Nah you just sound like an omo with an H (you know the word they call you it every day). GoOd On YoU mAtE lol
@@gutter339what a darling and unsurprising bigot you are!
She is so amazing. Look at how organized she is. It's no wonder she was able to land this apartment. You know she is going the extra mile to secure the best.
Such a cute apartment that seems to work for her so nicely! But tbh my favorite thing about this video was Sarah herself. What a great energy! She seems like such a lovely and genuine person. Love to see her getting this good deal.
I love when you interview folks in their apartments. It's also always nice to see apartments that the average person can afford. Very nice lady, one of the gems of NY.
A great apartment. She is a smart organizer. People would pay for her ideas. My favorite was the kitchen makeover.
Mine, too! I ran to the Amazon app to look for the cabinet handles!
Where did she get the decorative cube organizers
@@gloriabowie5629 they’re everywhere- Walmart, Ross, even the dollar store has some
@@gloriabowie5629 ohhh the exact ones lol
You should add affiliate links for all the items featured in the video.
Thanks for allowing Cash to show your place. I love how you made it so nice and functional 😍
Thank you!!
@@Shieldsy.in.the.city3 where did you get your wardrobes to hang your clothes on? Also Gloria in the previous comment wonders about your decorative canvas storage cubes:) lovely place! Great improvements!! 🥰
I love what she’s done to fix up the few issues with the kitchen. Stick ‘n Peel is pretty much the way to go with renters. She’s really able to make her apartment her home. It has pretty much everything. Since the apartment’s one closet is so tiny she’s got storage from her bed, couch, kitchen cupboards and the open closets in her bedroom area. I love these videos for those of us who can only afford the small apartments and have to learn how to make your place home without breaking the lease by damaging the walls and cabinets with much needed improvements.
This gal is amazing and so smart!!!!! She’s taken a caterpillar and turned it into a beautiful butterfly. Forget the angle of rent control. Focus on how beautiful her apartment is and how she’s using her space in a most amazing way!!! Way to go, young lady!!
Thank you so much! 🤗
Cash, I absolutely loved this video. I’d love to see more of this type….Keeps us NYC lovers hopeful about finding affordable and sensible apartment in beautiful NYC
Agreed 100%! Plus I like that it hasn’t had crappy renos & grey-ifyed the apt, but kept the OG details! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️🏍
Great video and so interesting to see what can be done in a small space when you use the space efficiently.
I live in a rent stabilized apartment in NYC too my rent is 850 per month. It’s one of the new buildings, it’s beautiful and I have a gym, rooftop & security.
Why DO YOU'LL WANT TO LIVE IN NYC, SOOOOO BAD?!!!!!!
@@kerryalfaro9437 because it’s an amazing city with great opportunities.
I live in Washington Heights and, crazily enough, my roommate just signed for a rent stabilized studio apartment directly on Riverside Drive & 81st Street for $1250 a month !!! I've heard of these zeitgeist moments but I didn't think they existed anymore. He happened to be looking on the internet and the rental popped up on the page he was on. He called immediately, insisted on seeing the apartment, had all his finances together and 2 hours later, signed for the apartment. They had over 200 phone calls in 45 minutes. I helped him move in yesterday. It's a stunning apartment. Quiet and with views of Riverside Park. I still can't believe he landed this. He'll hang onto this for the rest of his life.
Wow. If he wants me to tour it let’s connect on Instagram.
Where on the internet was he searching?
So he's gonna rent for the rest of his life? Dude, if you're gonna rent or have roommates, just get a condo or apt to mortgage, you're almost paying the same after 10 years. Renting especially in nyc is a scam.
@@SDguy3030 Landing a rent stabilized apartment in the best, most beautiful area in Manhattan is like winning the lottery. He found a $3K studio apartment for $1250K a month. Because he's rent stabilized his rent won't increase 15 - 30% a year like most renters. He's locked in to low rate increases. I know many wealthy people who make more than $1 million a year and they still choose to rent. Let's say they spend $8K a month for rent. If they bought an equivalent apartment they'd be spending $8K a month on property taxes and building maintenance. I used to think they were throwing their money away too but they explained to me that if they bought a place they would be tying up their money for no reason. There's a glut of luxury apartments in NYC that sit empty for years. They'd have their money tied up, they'd be paying property taxes and building maintenance, and they'd have no guarantee they'd get a return on their investment when it came time to sell, plus they'd have to pay capital gains taxes. New York will screw you over. Make no doubt about that.
I live in East Flatbush in Brooklyn. We have LOTS of rent-stabilized units over here. Fabulous floors, sometimes sunken living rooms, herring-bone patterned floors, etc. Come see us out here! I'm in a stabilized two bedroom, two bath, giant balcony that's super private, and I LOVE my neighbors. I feel so blessed. Been here 8 years and no plans to move. !!
I love this girl's personality. Self deprecating and not trying to be cool at all. Refreshing as most of these apartment tour type videos have people who are so nervous about how they will be perceived.
Oof, did you see her bookshelf though. That + Reddit, I don't think she would be pleasant to be around at dinner parties...
@gasstationpeanuts1814 Ehh, honestly you're the one that seems unpleasant here.
This video was amazing! Your friend, Sarah, was very lucky to have found this great rent-stabilized apartment. Love what she's done with it, especially her diys. Very practical and down-to-earth lady and so generous to share her place and renting advice with all of us. Thank you Cash and Sarah!
5 stars to her for utilizing and upgrading the space, best I’ve seen in 10 years of nyc living
It's small but really functional. I think it's even larger than some of the other studios we've seen & that archway gives it some charm. She definitely lucked out bcuz apartments in that neighborhood go for almost double that rent sometimes. Hope everyone here in the US is enjoying the Memorial Day weekend
Ha! There's no think in it. We HAVE seen much smaller places that are much more expensive on this channel than this unit being featured today.
You couldn't get a place like this for 2500$ in NYC
What a nice person. Opening her home for the world is courageous. It's amazing to see a realistic home and not a decor magazine. It's adorable.
She mastered using space plus looks like very kind person!Hope she keeps this as long as possible!!
Sarah's apartment is so cute and functional. She really knows how to make the most of a small space without it looking cluttered. Thank you for the tour!
This woman is a DIY Queen!
And Cash: congrats on 500 k suscribers. Well deserved. :D
Absolutely love this apartment! So much space in the bathroom, and I love how the clothing racks fit perfectly on each side!
She is so organized! She has everything set up so well and has so much storage! Nice apartment.
I see a lot of complaints but she lives in the West Village of Manhattan, in a studio. $1938 is a crazy good deal in this market. I just came home from a week's worth of apartment hunting and a "cheap" studio in that area is 2400-2500 plus broker fees. The only way to spend 2000 a person or less in that area is to share a 2/3/4 bedroom. And many are crappy. Most had terrible bath or kitchens that haven't seen repairs in years. Here, she gets an entire place to herself.

@@davidhunternyc1 wow. Very lucky
What a sweetheart! Great job with the setup.
I'd take it. West vlg👍
It is what it is. In this case she got lucky.
She's a lovely person! And she made the place feels cozy.
She’s very imaginative when it comes to making the best of her space, I like her space making gadgets too
This is so cute, and she's done such a great job decorating and making it her own! Thanks for the tour! 💗
I really enjoyed seeing this one! Sarah did a fantastic job & the result is awesome. Great tips and tricks for storage & organization. She has everything she needs there plus rent stability. We'll done👏👏👏👏
It's nice to see a normal, lived in space for a regular New Yorker. 👍🤠
That was fascinating, much the same way tiny house videos are fascinating. I love seeing how real people make small spaces work. Really charming apartment and host! Keep this series going!
good for her! it's always awesome when good people have good things happen to them.
Loved this episode! Shes wonderful, what a beautiful space and so organized 🎉😊
Thanks, you’re too kind 🥰
@@Shieldsy.in.the.city3 you're welcome! So nice of you to reply 🤗
Always happy to see anyone making it in NYC. She seems like a very nice lady. Definitely blessed that she found such a nice inexpensive apartment.
Thank you Sarah for letting us into your delightful and beautifully organised home, so comfortable too. Well done Cash for discovering her!. I would love to have met Lucy!
She has done a wonderful job optimizing space and keeping the function. Well done!
What this lady has done with this apartment is nothin short of incredible! Not only as she lucky but she put in the WORK!!!
I LOVE the fact you got a chance to talk to an actual tenant. I always wonder what the home looks like after they move in.
Please do more of this type if you get a chance.
Such a gem of a place-decorated so comfy and cute! Love it
Honestly, THANK YOU Sarah for showing your apartment. Learned a lot and got some space-saving tips that will be used.
She has done an Great Job with that Apartment 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🔥❤️….I love it!!!
Thank you!! So kind!
Cash-once again you have created a warm and welcoming environment for all your viewers. Every aspect was very well done. The tone throughout this episode was one of the best I’ve seen.
Keep going!
☮️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Warm and welcoming? Who feels warm and welcome?
@@maticbukovac6966 Everybody but you I'm guessing.
@@vincentgoupil180 😹
I agree! Her apartment is great..it's all one person needs! Great vibe in this video.
Both of you are so enthusiastic and noticing details that I got several ideas and was boosted up in attitude. Thank you both.
She is amazing! She totally deserved the place! And she is the landlord’s dream! Sarah, Congratulations!! Loved the place!
for today’s market, she got a sweet deal. for as many times as she’s moved, she deserves it! i relate. when i lived in nyc, i moved several times and became a minimalist, too. (and i’m from ohio) she’s also done a spectacular job of decorating and organizing her space. she has everything! great video!
I love the efficiency. No wasted space. I love seeing compact places like this. Excellent.
She needs to host her own show! Love her and her apartment!
like a side hustle!!
the amount of positive energy this video has is amazing
The positivity vibes just radiate off this woman! Fantastic video Cash one of my favourites!
😁🥰
Ery clever & positive lady.
🙆💞
My first NYC apartment was in a building that had recently converted from rent stabilized to market rate. In chatting with some of the more tenured residents, I discovered that they were paying half as much as I did for the same or even bigger units. While none of them complained about the rent, they did express the fact that as rent stabilized tenants, the landlord wouldn't do anything for them. Their appliances were old, the paint hadn't been refreshed since they moved in, etc… It's great that Sarah took it upon herself to make upgrades to her apartment. She lives in a very enviable neighbourhood and for a reasonable rate. We would all love to live in the West Village.
Not all of us. This is cute, but it's in Manhattan, not Brooklyn, a deal breaker for me.
I remember reading about a retired actress who paid like $40 a month because she'd been there for ages, and her apartment didn't have hot water either.. that's the hustling spirit of NYC to me 😜
I appreciate her enthusiasm and attention to detail. She’s really rockin’ NYC.
This woman is living the dream, for real! Love it.
I love her and I hope all the good things come her way! I hope someday when I grow up I can get rid of my belongings when necessary as cheerfully as she does.
You’re so sweet 😍 Thanks a ton!
And save money too!
I love Sarah! I wish she had done videos of her apartment rehab. I've lived in Manhattan my whole life and she's got great ideas for apartment living! ❤❤❤
Thanks!! Maybe I will, I’ve got lots of “before” footage so it wouldn’t be hard to put together!
@@Shieldsy.in.the.city3, thank you for sharing your beautiful apartment with us! And I agree: I think your DIY videos would be very popular. I know I'd subscribe. Plus, we'd get to meet the obviously adorable Lucy❣
@@Shieldsy.in.the.city3 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Rehab? LMAO
Love seeing how people actually live in their apartments!! Nice
I LOVE this! The tour with the homeowner is just awesome! Please do more vids like this one Cash! I love that it’s a tour of an actual space so we can see how folks live in these tiny spaces.
I really enjoyed this type of video. Such a smart and savy girl. She made the space much bigger than it is. I didn’t even notice the couch and second clothes rack when you first showed whole apartment when walking in
What a charming home. Sarah has made the best use of the small space so that it works for her. It has lots in it but does not appear to be overstuffed. Thanks guys.
What a great video! Brought back memories of visiting my great aunt, who lived in that neighborhood. Loved the tenant’s upgrades.
$2000 per month for that little bird cage is insane.
This is what I love about NY appartments. the space management and just little ideas like the floor tile to make it look better.
Sarah is so sweet. I love what she has done to make her apartment look good, and be a cosy place to live in. May you have many, many happy years in your NYC apartment!
This woman is amazing, so many DYI ideas I never thought of before so resourceful. Absolutely love it, thank you for the information.
Love this energy! Sarah is clearly on her game 💯
This would be a helpful guide for anyone considering a small studio apartment. She has made good use of every square inch, and she doesn't have to be a minimalist to live here!
Thanks, Cash & Sarah for the tour! What a charming apartment! Sarah did a great job with the kitchen reno - and thanks for the reno tips! That's a good size bathroom for a studio too.
Wow she's so creative! This is prob my favorite NY apartment tour video
Such a great job she did with thus apartment! Thanks for uploading!!
I would never leave either! They can only raise the rent 2-1/2% a year is fantastic! The lowest I have ever heard was 5%. I love how she did those peel and stick counters, floors, and back splash. It makes something not so nice look so much better. Changing the shower head was good to. You’d be so surprised how easy it is to do that and how cheap it is.
Actually ever year there is a vote to decide on the increase. It can be higher than 2%. The % varies for a 1 year vs. 2 year lease. This year landlords are advocating for a 16% increase. Note, I'm not sure if the rule has changed but once the rent hits 2500, the apartment can be destabilized. What some landlords will do to quickly destabilize the apartment is do major repairs between tenants. Also note, there are a lot of unrented rent stabilized units that landlords keep empty. This is particularly true in quickly gentrifying neighborhoods. Rent stabilized apartments are rare because landlords are constantly leveraging loopholes to destabilize them.
WOW! This Lady is SO Switched on! Can you imagine what she could do with More Room? 🇬🇧👏
Great vlog Cash love these home tours of small apartments in NYC keep up the great work! 🤙🏻
Like videos like this, it's a lot nicer seeing apartments setup vs empty spaces. She did a great job
Sooooooooooooooooooooo the apartment is NOT $800 a month. Cash stop gaslighting me. !!!! SMH
You might as well ask him to stop breathing. It’s just what he does.
Was wondering about that myself. Thought I was missing something.
THANK YOU ! I was looking through the comments hoping I found this. Very disappointing. I'm considering reporting it to youtube as inaccurate click bate.
@@the23rdbryan Sadly, this is a common occurrence with Cash’s videos. Which is a real pity because he makes good videos and he’s instantly likable. He really doesn’t need to resort to false thumbnails.
@@NYBredBamaFed I don't lie to people to make money from "clicks". Why should he be allowed to ? I did report it and hope it stings even if it doesn't force change.
I'm so impressed with the rent controlled apartment and what she did with it. She fixed it up perfectly and it's got the light, the organization, and the comfortable living and sleeping spaces. Thanks Cash, for showing us this nice woman and her very nice apartment.
this seems like such a comfortable and loved home. an absolute dream
Very cute & functional.
I have not seen anyone so transparent! She allowed him to expose EVERY nook and cranny!!❤
Very neat place, I got a lot of good ideas from Sarah for my own apartment so thanks for the tour!
Cash, great vid this morning! It's nice that you took the time to show how people end up using their space. And too the different financial options they have regarding the rents...creative as well as informative!
This is one of my favorite Cash videos. What a beautiful and organized apartment! I have my own house in a rural area and this inspires me to just move stuff around to make it work better!
This is one of the best-planned spaces I've seen on this channel. Great job!
What a beautiful apartment and person. Thank you!
I think she did a nice job at making everything fit without it looking cluttered.
Caash! You've got to do more of these vids. Your enthusiasm to ask, their enthusiasm to share, it just works! Perfectly!! 😊🧡😊⭐👏👏🎈💯
She has much wisdom in decorating and designing her apt. She has it down to a fine art. The place is very inviting. Well done!!🎉🎉
She and the apartment are so cute.
Awesome video and apartment!! ❤Thank you Sarah for you hospitality~ 😊
She's like the typical movie character from NYC that we all fall in love with - cheerful, little dog, crowded clean appt, bike on the wall.
She’s so organized! I love her setup!
I love this apartment. Great use of space. 😍
Love this video! It’s really cool to see how someone sets up a place and adapts to the small footprint. It’s felt very functional.
Literally the greatest thing I've seen on your channel and she is so uber smart about organizing that FANTASTIC apartment! If I could find someting like that in NY I would move tomorrow! 💗
That's a beautiful apartment and such an amazing find. I love it, Good for Sarah.❤
Her apartment is so cozy and cute! I like the colors she has for decor.
This is a really nice place. I would be totally happy living there. She must save a lot of money, and with that, she can travel as she wishes. She did a great job in decorating and fixing it up.
She’s so amazing and incredibly smart and resourceful 🥰🥰
Love this!! Thank you for doing these awesome peeks into New York!
For one person, that is a fantastic place and she has done such a wonderful job of making it make sense and comfortable. Good for her!!!
I need that magnetic keychain charger thing! That’s pretty cool. I love how she decorated everything and was so resourceful. I genuinely enjoyed this video. It’s a cute apartment!
Me too! I was wondering where she got it/what it's called!
Sarah - thanks for the tour! Your apartment is adorable & you've made great use of the space. (Hello from Toledo,OH 😅) Cash - I'm digging this different type of video!
