Hi Hannah 👋🌹 Hopefully folks take your advice and register for the Housing lottery.. after all... if a person doesn't apply.. then its Zero chance of winning a spot.! I see on your video that Brooklyn Tower is in the lottery. it looks like it would be a very nice place to live. My situation is a bit different since my building was apartments but then converted to Condominium and residents had the first opportunity to buy... this was many years ago.. but I made the right decision. Your advice to register is always worth a shot, and your'e proof that it was worth the effort. 🌹🌻🍀 I hope your training for the 5K is going well!!

@FionaCampbell-ss3cg Ай бұрын

I had so many questions when you first posted about your move and this video was really great! I'm curious though, are you saving money from your last apartment to this new one or is this one simply more upscale with more amenities? Rent: old vs. new & quality: old vs. new? Thanks!

@therealhannahlee Ай бұрын

We’re saving about $300 a month from what our rent was about to increase to at lease renewal, and the quality of the new place is slightly more upscale. Also, our old place was a 1 bedroom, and this is 2! 😊

Congrats! I’m wondering how this rent compares to your last apartment? Is it higher or lower? Even if it’s higher, the rent stabilization is so key long term!

@therealhannahlee Ай бұрын

Definitely should have touched on this in the video! It’s about $300 cheaper than our rent was about to be at lease renewal. 😊

Can you touch bases on vouchers and how does applicants with vouchers differ from applicants that does not

@therealhannahlee Күн бұрын

I wish I could, but I’m unfortunately not familiar with how the process works for applicants with vouchers. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!

@_nataisiahamina Күн бұрын

Do you get to choose the apartment or they just choose it for you? Like let’s say there’s 12 2-bedroom apartments available do you get to see all of them and choose or just whatever they decide?

@getlucky9554 22 күн бұрын

Hi, I'm glad for your happiness; living in the city is truly a miracle. May I ask if a married couple can apply from their accounts for the same apartment?

@therealhannahlee 22 күн бұрын

You mean each of you would apply from separate accounts so you have two chances? I don’t believe that would work, as you’ll have to put info about both of you on one account to be considered together.

@getlucky9554 6 күн бұрын

Yes, we put both family members on the account. But everyone still has their own account. That is, I create my own and add my wife, and she also creates her own and adds me. And we each submit an application on our own. This way we increase the chances. Or is it considered that we will apply twice for one apartment and this is a disqualification?

@crystalb9108 Ай бұрын

If you selected the one bedroom and the person that selected the two bedroom moved out in a year or so, are you able to move into the two bedroom?

@therealhannahlee Ай бұрын

I can’t be sure, but my guess would be, no. I think it would likely go to the next person on the waitlist.

How do you turn on the notifications on the Housing Connect Site? You mentioned turning on notifications. The lowest Log # for is 6800. Ouch!

@therealhannahlee 12 күн бұрын

Check under "my account" and make sure you have the correct email address attached to your account. You should be receiving the emails automatically. :)

How do you see your log number?

@therealhannahlee Ай бұрын

Once each lottery closes and log numbers are assigned, it will show up under the “my applications” section on the housing connect website.

@DanyelleD. 17 күн бұрын

I have been trying for years with nothing. I also can't change my income on the site. How do I do that? Thank you for your help.

@therealhannahlee 12 күн бұрын

Click where your name shows up at the top of the page and you'll get a drop down menu. Click "my household." Your name will show up under "household members," and should have "edit profile" as an option to the right.

@starquality6939 Ай бұрын

Why does it matter if your log number is 12 instead of 534 isn’t it a lottery?

@therealhannahlee Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! The lottery is to get the log number. They’re all randomly assigned after the lottery closes, then they start working through them from the lowest number.

@starquality6939 Ай бұрын

@@therealhannahlee oh okay got it out of curiosity why do they call multiple people for one apartment and if the person before you chosen you get bumped out the lottery

@therealhannahlee Ай бұрын

@@starquality6939 I’m not sure about this, but my guess is that it’s to make it go faster on their end. They’re likely assuming a certain amount of people will end up either not qualifying or not submitting at all, so they want to speed up the process by having a bunch of people submit at once. That’s all just speculation though!

Congratulations but this video is literally proof that the marketing agents are breaking the rules and regulations when it comes to the housing lottery

@paulaboyd9743 Ай бұрын

Hi Hannah What an informative video. Not being an NYC resident, or even from the US, a lot of things went over my head - mostly about the paperwork. 🫣 When we got married in NYC though, we had to go inside 60 Center Street to have our paperwork notarised. Exciting stuff. Still so happy for you guys. ❤️
