🥺🥺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?
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.
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.
@@TH-camfan567 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.
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..
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
❤
actually that room is kinda perfect for us night shift nurses
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
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! 🤣
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
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?
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 :)

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
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.
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.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
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.
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
My two favorite TH-cam guys doing a video TOGETHER! That was great!
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 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.
Good tips!
two of my favorite NYC youtubers in one video! what a treat!
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 ..?? ;))
Really enjoy these NYC apartment videos. Keep up the great real estate rental tips!
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
Thats an amazing video. Love to see your vlog. Keep inspiring us to make awesome video.
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!
Great videos . Very interesting and well thought out. I love these videos. Keep ‘em coming.
What a great combo the two of you make with this video 👏
Love this, guys. Thanks!
Great pointers! Thanks!
Enjoyed seeing Cash sharing his expertise! He's a great source for info.
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.
Incredibly helpful! Thanks and stay well!
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
JESSON Lee
@@gloriabowie5629 Good respectable landlord
Great advice from my two favorite New Yorkers.
Glad you enjoyed it
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
These tips are very applicable to house shopping, to buy! Like water pressure, evidence of insects, sealed from intrusions.
I love the sink and tap test.
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.
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.
Love U Both! Appreciate Ualls Demo It Was...DOPE.
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 :)
Good for you John, take advantage of the market and upgrade!
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!
I watched both of you before my move to NYC last year.
ahhhaha two of my favorite youtubers together - worlds colliding !
Thanks for sharing. Some very helpful tips. Very nice video.
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.
Very informative! Thank you!
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.
Useful information. Thanks!!
Two of my favorite New Yorkers
Super helpful, thank you!
Thanks - really good video and I have been taking notes.
Fascinating to see these rentals. Hope you are well.
Thanks Seth, you too!
Love Cash!!!!! Love his videos!!!
Great video from two of my favorite TH-camrs ! You guys are so smart and really funny ! Thanks ! 🤣🤣🤣
The first mistake is trying to rent an apartment in Manhattan lmao
Most New Yorkers live in the outer boroughs and commute
I'm subscribed to his channel too and just got through watching his channel
These are great tips! I wish I knew some of these before I moved this summer 😂 I’ll definitely keep them in mind for next time I move.
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.
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.
Great video. I’m headed to NY this coming weekend to scope out some neighborhoods. Trying to move there ASAP.
I so like how you explain every thing... So easy.. Good pronuncation... Exelelent... So COOL...
Wow checking water never thought of that great tips
I'm having a good time watching these 😌
Only now deciding to look for apartments but that room is perfect for a nurse with a night shift
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.
great video thank you
Very good video. Thank you.
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.
Thx for this
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
Very good and accurate video! I would add facing south to get more light or do not rent above a restaurant to “avoid” rats
We love Cash Jordan.... Excellent video 😁
Thank you 🤗
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.
this is just what i need right now.
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.
WoW...great points ...THX
Make so more videos like this I love it 😄
Great video
Subscribed to you both
You make a great team
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
More grey brick tile design in the bathroom. Cash is the best!
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.
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.
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
"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!!
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
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!
This is just good advice for any apartment anywhere
Really Great video. I’m not moving there and yet still find this useful information all the way here in California.
Thanks Shawn!
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.
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 ☝🏻☝🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
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
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.
:)
