Any forums for residents to share housing resources in NYC? Programs may provide some websites but they're quite general (Citihabitat, Streeteasy, etc.), and brokers usually charge 8-15% annual rent as a brokers fee, which is quite a lot with the already expensive rent.
I've been living in the city for the past 5 years and apartment hunting is still a nightmare for me. Got some terrible experiences with bad landlords and brokers. Just matched here and I'm wondering if there're communities for residents to share housing resources. For example, if graduating residents are leaving the city, is there a place for them to leave their apartments to incoming residents instead of letting them fall into brokers' hands? Are there places where residents from the same hospitals can find roommates?
