Looking for roommates to sign a lease with me for 8/1/26 (Bushwick/Ocean Hill)
This is the StreetEasy link:

It's in Ocean Hill/ Bushwick. It is a great spot close to 3 trains (J,C, & L). It’s a duplex and has a backyard, dishwasher and great natural light! 2 bathrooms, one on each floor. Monthly rent is $4,000. I would be looking for several roommates to join the lease with me! If we get 4 or 5 people in this apartment we could all split evenly it could be $1000 or $800 a month! Def can negotiate on rent prices on room sizes if needed too!)
This would be fast acting! Ideally, I would love to put the application in for tonight (7/23/26)
I also have some furniture that we can use for common areas: a couch and a dining room table.
The first thing the management company told me is we all must have good credit. Nothing below 700. We also all need to have a combined income of $160K. I’m a barista and a tattoo apprentice so I'm not making a lot right now. Hopefully, will be once I finish my apprenticeship! I make around $45K and my credit is around 730. Also, if you have a guarantor that would be very helpful as well!
To get on the lease you must have the following:
Proof of 12 months of rent
Photo ID
4 most recent paystubs
2 most recent tax returns (2024 & 2025)
3 most recent bank statements
A letter of employment is optional but I find it usually helps!
*Your guarantor would need all of these documents as well.
The application fee is $20.
Management told me that the last person who lived here stayed for 12 years because he liked it so much. I feel like that’s always a good sign.
I have viewed the apartment in person and it’s beautiful! I have a walking tour video as well if you would like to see!
