Once a lease is up a landlord can raise the rent as much as they want. There's no limits here. So if by the time the renew their lease in a year or two (not sure if they signed a one or two year lease) and prices are going back up, they'll have to pay more. I don't think I've ever heard of a landlord raising by more than a couple of percent, but technically they're allowed to. Usually that's why people move so much here, they get priced out or can get a better deal elsewhere.

im with you. i think those window are awful. maybe if they were true floor to ceiling, i would feel differently, but between those air vents and ugly columns, it screams office space. Honestly, i would rather have a balcony like Kaelin's apt then those god awful wrap around windows.

Oh well people who live in glass houses ....
I understand now why she was on the beg for an interior designer to work with - that apartment will be difficult to furnish properly, just judging by the glimpses she's shown.
It could be such a cool artistic space, but she's going to do wall to wall white, beige and gold accents
A poster above said WeWork vibes, 100%
i agree, while the view is amazing and it will be fab at night, it will be tricky to furnish with the circular shape. im useless at that type of thing, i need corners and straight walls to have some perspective where to put things. im guessing that an extra large white couch will take centre stage and other white/glass furnishings arranged randomly around the room. im looking forward to seeing more of Kaelin's new place, im liking the glimpse we got so far of it much more than retro's.

Yah I would also much rather Kaelins place with the balcony.
They will need every one of those air vents, she will bake in there during summer otherwise, all that glass and sunlight. wonder will she invest in some sort of blinds/panels or something for the windows. thats the first thought that came into my head when i saw it. sometimes you do need to have some shade esp in summer. It does remind me of a CEO's office tho. The coveted office with the amazing city view.

It would be really cool though if they could make some kind of wind seats out of the white boxes that are Infront of the windows! Hopefully if she works with an interior designer there will be a small bit of colour in the apartment but probably not

What is she congratulating herself on? That she can afford to pay NY rental prices? Like come on
Erica should congratulate Tommy because his salary would have secured the lease.
I’m not crazy about the apartment either obviously the view is stunning but the the floor and windows look a bit dated. Personally I’ve always preferred the pre-war buildings.
Suits Erica to a T though, looks a bit impressive until you scratch the service and find its the dated, bargain bin version. I don’t understand her obsession for buildings with amenities they never use, other than to impress people on the internet of course.
Kaelin obviously in a shoebox around the corner. I jest a bit, it’s still impressive being able to afford the rent in NY. At least she’s got the balcony so the dog can get some fresh air.
Sometimes part of me feels sorry for Kaelin for being under Erica’s thumb but then I realise Kaelin just likes the easy ride, she’s too lazy to step out of Erica’s shadow.
Erica definitely does thrive on the NY moving content style videos though, it’s how she pulls the views and cash in. She’s relishing in this.
Also did anyone else catch her casually trying to give the impression she had stayed in NY throughout the pandemic?

Her content is so reliant on NYC skylines & places to eat. Outside of that, as we saw in Covid she's nothing else going for her. So many influencer/blogger/vloggers. Stepped up their content, reinvented themselves or went and explored different areas. Not Erika. Goes on about being a hard worker, just wants an easy life- and be a Wife to Tammy.

Just watched the video on tv screen....serious question, what happened her face - is that under eye filler gone wrong or has she done something to her cheeks? Cos she still has smile lines. So bizarre.

The pay day from sweet king must be good to get over how embarrassing it must be to advertise sweets when you try to cultivate this high end lifestyle

It would have been so easy to tie that in with the birthday celebrations contint, or even the house move contint. She has no imagination

Also trying to figure out the filler gone wrong. Was it always like that and we are just noticing? I’ve just noticed it since her return to NY after her pandemic break in Kurry. Yes Urca, we haven’t forgotten your trip home, your trip back with stopover in the Beacon for filler / Botox, Mexico beach cocktails and going silent for two weeks before NY content resumed again. And we have noticed you are trying to make it seemed to were in NY for the entire pandemic and struggled through! Did you confuse yourself with your boyfriend who stayed there?
Would’ve been perfect sweet / boat party!! If she just lets us know the work she has coming up we can give her some ideas on here so help her!

I say she is raging but obviously had no choice but to do it - she needs the $$$$ for the pasta meals this weekend
