If its going to be much longer it might be worth it to crash with your friend and through that person a few bucks. Some friends of mine downtown got hit with an $800 increase. It's long been known that rents in NYC rise quickly--but I'm noticing more frequent and larger increases than are normal -- even for the city.

I have to pay month-to-month since I don't have the credit needed for a long term contract. I live by Broad & Wall in FiDi. My realtor told me people in my position end up paying 6 months security deposit for most apartments, so I think I am just going to move in with a friend.

Hmmm, people with no credit or bad credit usually are asked to either pay anywhere from 3-6 months security depending on the landlord/management company BUT you are still suppose to be given a yr lease. If you want to discuss a bit further shoot me a message.

Buy a van and put your belongings in there. Parking garages are atleast stablized in monthly costs.
