In 2011, The 34-year-old comedian Amy Schumer talked to BrickUnderground about her apartment woes:
I moved to NYC to become an actress in 2003 when I graduated from college. I found a small studio for the monthly rent of $1, 275 in Chinatown via Craigslist where I dealt with a shady broker — again with my habit of gravitating towards abusive relationships — who tried to give me advice on how to hack it in this city. I thought I could afford the place but soon had to get a roommate — in a STUDIO. I placed an ad on Craigslist and found a student from Ohio willing to pay for half the rent to sleep on a loft bed. Luckily she was great and we’d sit around watching ‘Sex and the City.’ Neither of us had much of a social life as bringing someone home was really tricky.

From there, Schumer moved to “a huge 2BR duplex in Chelsea for only $1, 600 a month” where she only had to pay $800 a month, but things didn’t work out because “the only issue with the apartment was the roommate was a big slut.”
