How to Win the NYC Housing Lottery | Everything You Need to Know - Zábava
This is such a well made video!! I was so invested that I forgot I live in a house in Tennessee 😂
Ahh thank you so much!! 💜
Same, literally in Tennessee 🤣
You kept persisting and won the lottery!!! Love the new apartment.
Thanks, Mike!
Great information for anyone apartment hunting in NYC. On a more personal note, love your new wallpaper!
Thank you!! Bedroom decorating video to come! 🥰
Presented very well Hannah, I bet more people in NY will sign up.
Thanks, Lorna! 😊
I took this as a class. Great knowledges given away. You have great smart ideas with your own words, Hannah!
Thanks so much, Ramces! 😊
Hi Hannah 👋🌹 Hopefully folks take your advice and register for the Housing lottery.. after all... if a person doesn't apply.. then its Zero chance of winning a spot.! I see on your video that Brooklyn Tower is in the lottery. it looks like it would be a very nice place to live. My situation is a bit different since my building was apartments but then converted to Condominium and residents had the first opportunity to buy... this was many years ago.. but I made the right decision. Your advice to register is always worth a shot, and your'e proof that it was worth the effort. 🌹🌻🍀 I hope your training for the 5K is going well!!
Thanks DN! Love that you got first dibs on buying your apartment. 😊
This video is going to help so many people.
Thanks so much, Anthony!
Great video as usual Hannah. Very informative. Such a lot of work from your end and also from NY Housing ... SO much work. Good on you NYC
Thanks so much, Tina! 😊
👍🙋🏻♀️🥰✌️Hope you have a nice day Hannah. Great Video! 😊
Thank you! 😊
Excellent video. This was so interesting. This should get new subscribers!
Thanks, Jill! I hope so! 🤞🏻
I love the wall in the background! How much is the amenity fee?
Thank you! Bedroom decorating video coming soon where we put up that wallpaper lol! The amenity fee is $75 per month.
I loved this video Hannah, you explain in such great detail. You are such a gem. I am so happy for both of you. You thoroughly deserve it. He is such a lucky man to have a charming, intelligent, beautiful woman like you.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. 😊
You Are the epitome of nice!
That’s so sweet! Thank you! 🥹
I had so many questions when you first posted about your move and this video was really great! I'm curious though, are you saving money from your last apartment to this new one or is this one simply more upscale with more amenities? Rent: old vs. new & quality: old vs. new? Thanks!
We’re saving about $300 a month from what our rent was about to increase to at lease renewal, and the quality of the new place is slightly more upscale. Also, our old place was a 1 bedroom, and this is 2! 😊
@@therealhannahlee That's amazing! Definitely worth all the effort entering the lottery. Congratulations!
@@FionaCampbell-ss3cg Thank you! 😊
Congrats! I’m wondering how this rent compares to your last apartment? Is it higher or lower? Even if it’s higher, the rent stabilization is so key long term!
Definitely should have touched on this in the video! It’s about $300 cheaper than our rent was about to be at lease renewal. 😊
If you selected the one bedroom and the person that selected the two bedroom moved out in a year or so, are you able to move into the two bedroom?
I can’t be sure, but my guess would be, no. I think it would likely go to the next person on the waitlist.
How do you see your log number?
Once each lottery closes and log numbers are assigned, it will show up under the “my applications” section on the housing connect website.
Hi,
I'm glad for your happiness; living in the city is truly a miracle. May I ask if a married couple can apply from their accounts for the same apartment?
You mean each of you would apply from separate accounts so you have two chances? I don’t believe that would work, as you’ll have to put info about both of you on one account to be considered together.
Why does it matter if your log number is 12 instead of 534 isn’t it a lottery?
Thanks for watching! The lottery is to get the log number. They’re all randomly assigned after the lottery closes, then they start working through them from the lowest number.
@@therealhannahlee oh okay got it out of curiosity why do they call multiple people for one apartment and if the person before you chosen you get bumped out the lottery
@@starquality6939 I’m not sure about this, but my guess is that it’s to make it go faster on their end. They’re likely assuming a certain amount of people will end up either not qualifying or not submitting at all, so they want to speed up the process by having a bunch of people submit at once. That’s all just speculation though!
Congratulations but this video is literally proof that the marketing agents are breaking the rules and regulations when it comes to the housing lottery
Hi Hannah
What an informative video. Not being an NYC resident, or even from the US, a lot of things went over my head - mostly about the paperwork. 🫣
When we got married in NYC though, we had to go inside 60 Center Street to have our paperwork notarised. Exciting stuff.
Still so happy for you guys. ❤️
Aw I bet your wedding was so magical!! 🤩
