We seem to have gone through some sick New York City initiation where you must suffer financially by paying an absurb amount of rent for a space the size of a large closet. Once you pass the initiation period, which lasts two years, the landlord lowers the rent to something even lower than what you originally paid at the beginning of your lease two years ago. A couple weeks ago, our landlord (who we will now be referring to as our guardian angel) randomly knocked on our door and lowered our rent $141 dollars. We feel blessed.
Thank you NYC for welcoming us into your club. We are honored and humbled.
