Tenant Accused of Cheating Subletters in Public Housing
Sublet an apartment in a Williamsburg landmark:
The listing noted the hardwood floors and “quiet peaceful area.” The price to move in was $800 cash, a month’s rent plus a security deposit… But one sentence stuck out. “Public housing apt building,” the ad read, “working class only.
(Actually, the scam was that the woman failed to actually deliver the apartment. Had she actually sublet it, that too would have been illegal.)
