Rupert Hunt, CEO of roommate finding app SpareRoom, is looking to fill a couple of empty bedrooms for just $1 (yes, ONE dollar) in his $8 million West Village loft.
Usually, the apartment hunting process is ruled by money, but Hunt doesn't want finances to be a barricade to meeting the right roommates and making new friends, especially in a neighborhood where a room typically costs $1,800. “I’m taking affordability out of the equation completely by offering the rooms for just $1 a month,” he said. “I’d rather choose people based on how well we get along, not how much they can afford."
Would you apply to live in the house?
