How many of you would move to Manhattan if you landed an apartment for less than $3,000 a month? Now, how many of you would take the place if it was in the happening East Village for $325, rent stabilized?
Put your hands down, because as you may have suspected, this one's a ripoff even at those prices...
This is a post we came across on Craig's List (to our friends out there who are reading this-- no, we're not moving-- but Good God, if this had been for real, we would be breaking leases left and right to make it happen). (Emphasis added.)
$325 EAST VILLAGE- Controlled and large 3 bed (East Village) (map)
-Wow…I can’t believe I am doing this..But I am looking for someone to
rent my rent controlled apartment. The monthly rent is extremely cheap
and would be a dream for many people in this city. It is in the east
village close to A and 3rd. I caught my wife in bed with our neighbor
who is almost 20 years younger than her. She is refusing to move out
and still seeing him when I am at work, on my bed…I need someone to
move in and help me get her out. Man or woman. My plan is to act like
we are a couple until she can’t take it anymore. I have done everything
possible to try and get her out..But she is a scumbag….So we need to
create some type of plan that would get her out..i would charge you
very cheap and all you would have to do is act like we are dating. We
might have to kiss if front her and make fake sounds when we are in the
bedroom. Please respond with a detailed description of your plan to get
her out and a little about your self. You could live there after she is
out and unless we fall in love we don’t have to do anything else.
Right... you don't have to do anything else. Wow-- we knew that some people too breakups a little hard and rebounds with unwarranted seriousness, but Holy Christ-- this is worse than those ads that start "I'm a downtown businessman with no time for a girlfriend; so, if you want to be my roommate, I only have one requirement: wear this French maid outfit at all times..."
