$1500? That's mad cheap. A small 2 bedroom in my city goes for $2500 or so

$4/sqft/mo here. Pity me.

not sure what area the poster in the image is from but here 1500 is like a moldy run down piece of shit and the landlord lives upstairs in equally bad conditions with buckets everywhere for the ceiling leak. Or it's literally just a room and shared kitchen and bath with other renters but you cant trust them not to eat your stuff from the fridge and the landlord doesn't allow mini fridge in the rooms for hard to verify 'insurance reasons'.
