You gotta know somebody. I got a super sweetheart deal on a 2 bedroom but if you’re new in town you are most likely shit out of luck.

getting in on a sublease from someone trying to move out is another good albeit rare way to find a decent place. We got a nice deal from a a new haven old timer this way.

Exactly what I did. I was able to secure a studio close to downtown from a Yale grad Asian student who’s leaving NH. Sublease price is 1245 and after the lease is up in August rent will increase to 1300 for lease renewal. Studio is in great shape, pristine clean and everything is updated. I’ve toured some studios for lease takeover around downtown and they weren’t updated and rent was like 1500+. Crazy. Definitely have to shop around for something good quality and worth the price here. OP should join all the Yale FB groups since landlords and realtors post available units on there and Yalies will also post their apts/rooms for lease takeover. Now until late January is actually the time to look for something since there are Yalies graduating and leaving their leases.

I wish I was young and free and could live in a sweet studio, but sadly I am old and have a lot of shit and value my space :D
