Location: New York City
Hi, my friends and I are signing a 2-year lease at a luxury apartment in NYC. We are international students so we don’t have any income, and they suggested a 3rd party guarantor. We paid 5k6 for the guarantor, and the landlord sent us the lease. Then we paid for our security deposit and first month rent, that’s when I asked whether the guarantor we paid was for the entire lease. Then a day later, they sent us another 5k6 bill for the guarantor, which we haven’t paid. I just thought it’s really deceptive how when we already can’t pull out of the lease anymore and then we’re hit with another layer of fee. What should we do? Thank you
