Renters Market (Nassau)

All landlords,

I am told that this is a renters market, how is that possible? Most single (that means 1) people cannot afford $ 1,100 or more for a one bedroom apartment - one bedroom should be THE MOST about $900. Charging $1,000 a month for a basement - ILLEGAL & DANGEROUS - A FIRE TRAP. If you want a tenant to pay for utilities, please decrease the rent to attract GOOD tenants (yes, we exist). I am a single, non-smoking person, no pets. We should not be placed in the same category as others who choose to own pets, yes they should pay more. I have no problem with pets. The prices that are advertised for these "apartments" do not compare to the size/space & are ridiculous. I have seen some places that should not be an apartment - ask yourself if you would live in a place like that. Same apartments everday, too many brokers. You can rent that apartment without a broker, please give us a chance. Doesn't it make good & common sense to have a lower rent to have someone occupy the space than to ask too much & have an empty space for months = no income. We do realize that everything is expensive - we pay bills like everyone else, have to fuel our vehicle, grocery shop, go to the laundromat, etc. We are attempting to survive just like you, usually working two jobs, never home, pay rent & never bother the landlord. We all do not leave the heat/air conditioner on all the time, don't have parties & don't make your life miserable. Yes, bad tenants exist & so do bad landlords- had my share of bad landlords. I am a good tenant & living here is difficult enough, let's work together.

Thank you.
