I was looking at apartments in Boston area for $1,200/month and I have a day dream of spending a year in NYC, so thought Id look into it.

I rented a basic studio( not great at all ) for $950 in 1987!

I can't even imagine what that same studio cost now.

Plus, be prepared to get "jacked" for $4500 to move in.

$1500 = first months rent +
$1500 = last months rent +
$1500 = Fee(legal or illegal) = $4500

A renter with a real-estate license can legally charge a fee; but expect the
building manager(Super) to try to fleece you for the fee illegally.
And you will pay it or be fucked.
