Poll: What do you pay for rent? (those who apply)

[neomits]

I'm kind of curious for those of you who rent, apartments and such, what do you pay? This poll is mainly for those who are in their 20's but if you fit in then by all means. I'm a college student and just signed a lease to be living off campus next year and I'm just curious what others are paying.

Just to clarify

This is for the cost of one person paying. So if you are sharing a room put what your part of the rent is... not the full rent

it also might help to say where you live and what is included

Can't speak for myself (I own my house... 🙂) but I know my sister is paying $565 for a 1 bedroom with all bills paid save for electric...

I'm personally curious if anyone here lives in New York City or Long Island. A lot of people I know in their 20s in NY just can't afford to rent a place. Hell, a friend of mine is paying $500/mo. for 1/2 a basement in Queens. He doesn't share the basement with ppl. he knows, he just rents 1/2 a basement and other tenants have the other half.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I'm 20 and that's nothing. My mom wanted me to pay $350 to live at home, but she's gracious enough to still be thinking about it.
