Landlords Don't Want Gig Workers or Influencers (Mexico: real estate, sublet)

[BugsyPal]

This is interesting.

Turns out all those gig workers, social media influencers and others who make big money aren't impressing landlords. People with incomes > $100k a year either cannot get a LL to listen, or are being required to have a guarantor.

Let's even the playing field.

Suggestions for renters. Offer........

2 years rent security deposit....................

Agree to...
Miss a month get a warning. Miss more ? end up in court.
After one year non-payment, Judge executes expulsion. Furniture on the street.
Landlord applies security to restore and place the domicile back on market.

Fair enough.....

Pay your rent,be a good tenant ,no problem.

Now show them the money.............................

nah. In my experience, NYC have a lot of high earners with little to no net worth.

Too much mobility, landlords want people who are willing to accept the bare minimum.

There are plenty of other Cities and even countries you can live in which are digital nomad friendly. Highly doubtful NYC will ever be that place.

That would be correct, but the landlords only concern is getting someone who can pay the exorbitant rent price for at least 2 years. All the properties are owned by hedge funds now just looking for quick returns to pump and dump on the next real estate speculating chump investor group

Re: Fashion girl , she's dumb.

She can just do Air BNB or sublet in Jackson Heights with Abuelita. Then portray herself as a down to earth struggling wannabe actress living the austere life in Mexico city 2.0. The Gen Z girls in her Audience would say "OMG she's so REAL and it's good for the planet and Hispanic community exposure is soooo vogue rn"

All these influencers have to do is pay two years rent up front.

The problem is not actually the landlords being unreasonable. The issue is the laws of NYC that favor deadbeat tenants.

If it were easy to evict a nonpaying tenant, then LLs would not have to make people jump thru financial hoops to get a rental.
