The doorman shakedown
A doorman is synonymous with luxury apartments, but some, according to one NYC renter – like to shake you down. This person decided to sublet an apartment in an upscale apartment building, which, in many cases, is strictly forbidden in most contracts.
It can lead to problems with the landlord, so if your contract does not allow it — it is best to avoid the practice altogether. This doorman here knew the person did not live there, leading them to ask for money in return for his silence. What would you do in this situation? I would ask for my money back.
