Online Storyteller and other Positions are Open!

So Stuyvesant Town Property Services, which does such a wonderful job in this community listening to tenants and actively working to make their lives better, is seeking various positions in their office, one of those positions being a "storyteller." They are also seeking someone who can write English, as they can be challenged a bit on proper grammar and spelling. The CEO (we assume Rick) is a funny guy who welcomes anyone coming into his office to tell him he's wrong. And in case you missed it, Gumby works in the office, too. I knew he was around someplace.

"We have a CEO that will make fun of himself and would welcome you to come into his office and tell him he was wrong. If any of that sounds interesting, then maybe we are a fit. Life is too short to work with people you dont like. So whatever you do, dont make that mistake."

And:

"We know that if we take care of our team everything else will fall into place. We arent perfect, but we will try to set very clear expectations, always let you know where you stand, and do everything in our power to help you get where you want to go. We dont have any best place to work awards, but that will change soon. Just watch."

Your Security Deposit Check

There has been some question as to who gets the interest on your security check. This is the law:

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/rentguidelinesboard/resources/security-deposits.page

Here is the most noteworthy information:

"If the building has six or more units the landlord must pay interest, if any, on your security deposit. The owner may keep one percent of the deposit amount each year as an administrative fee. If the building has fewer than six units and the owner deposits the security in a bank, the interest also belongs to the tenant, less one percent for administration.

"For example: A tenant pays a security deposit of $1,000. The landlord places the deposit in an interest-bearing account paying 1.1%. At the end of the year the account will have earned interest of $11. The tenant is entitled to $1 and the landlord may retain $10, 1% of the deposit, as an administrative fee. However, be aware that with interest rates averaging below 1% in recent years, tenants may not be eligible to receive any interest at all."

To read other information, go to that site.

It appears that one's security deposit is different for each tenant, depending on what rent is paid and what is the security deposit.

Recently, there has been a change of banks. We will see if this change benefits one side financially.
