I have family looking to rent an apartment in the Lower East Side; corner of Grand St and East Broadway.

  • 4th Floor
  • 2 Elevators
  • 3 Bedrooms (two small one large with private bathroom)
  • 2 bathrooms
  • full kitchen
  • living/dining area
Asking $3,900/mo; slightly negotiable.

I don't know the current rates but you can comfortably fit 4 guys into this apartment at less than $1,000 each. Is this competitive?

Anyhow, feel free to contact me.

Sorry guys; I'm a bit naive here, but my life went like this:
  • Grew up in Queens in parents house
  • Went to college while staying in parents basement
  • Got married young and got my own place
As you can see I've never rented with other guys, so forgive me in advance for asking this; but is it uncommon for 2 guys to share a large bedroom? Doesn't seem unreasonable. that's how I came to 4 guys for this apt.

It's become so over the years. Even sharing an apartment can be problematic -- turf wars over the common areas, who does the cleaning, bringing over guests, maintaining the place generally, getting the rent cheque mailed on time, etc.
 
If the target audience is students in the MFE programs, they wouldn't mind cramming more people into rooms so save on the rent. After all, they would spend most of their time at school and only need the room to sleep.

There's definitely an argument to be made for a bijective correspondence.

There's this dandy technique of fitting 13 people to 12 rooms in such a way that each has his own room, so perhaps the same can be done with four people and three rooms:

13 people came into a hotel with 12 rooms and each guest wanted his own room. The bellboy solved this problem. He asked the thirteenth guest to wait a little with the first guest in room number 1. So in the first room there were two people. The bellboy took the third guest to room number 2, the fourth to number 3, ..., and the twelfth guest to room number 11. Then he returned to room number 1 and took the thirteenth guest to room number 12, still vacant.

Yeah, this was my original thought.
