Why Live in LIC When Manhatttan Apartments Are This Affordable?(2)
Pet Peeves ππ’ No In-Unit Laundry for Small Apartments: Only the larger units feature in-unit laundry. Non-Full-Length Windows and Compact Layouts: The apartments don't have floor-to-ceiling windows, and the square footage is on the smaller side. Noise in Lower Floors: Being in a bustling neighborhood, rooms on the lower floors can be a bit noisy. ππ’ Limited Amenities: The lounge is quite small, and the pool is out of order and unavailable for use. The only standout is the gym, which is decent. Application Requirements The application process is stringent. Student applicants need a visa, which isn't very student-friendly for those who've just received an offer. ππ’ Fee Breakdown Application Fee: $20 per person πΈπDeposit: One month's rent. If the apartment is undamaged at the end of the lease, the deposit is refunded. Guarantor Fee: Applicants with an income 40 times the monthly rent or a guarantor with an annual income 80 times the monthly rent can waive this fee. If using a guarantor company, expect to pay 50%-90% of the monthly rent as a non-refundable fee. (The exact amount depends on the guarantor company's assessment.) πΈπ Facility Fee: $1000/year (not mandatory) Renter's Insurance: Lemonade is recommended, with a minimum of $60/year. πΈπUtilities: Water, electricity, and internet are on the tenant's account, with no utilities included in the rent. #ritzplaza #RitzPlaza #ManhattanRent ππ
