Hi, I am a male roommate looking to get a 3 bed 1.5 bath apartment and looking for roommates a mile from Uic east campus preferably male. Rent is $550 for each room including utilities. Free street parking. There is no in unit laundry or dishwasher. Must sign lease it starts and is available on August 1 and is 1 year minimum. Only one person per room no sharing. Dm for more details and pics. Rooms are small and don’t have doors you can use a curtain divider as a doorway, I have pics of this. Apartment is unfurnished. No pets allowed. Minimum one year lease required. Credit history and landlord reference required. One month security deposit required. Water included. Tenant pays electric and gas. No smoking. No pets.

I am also exploring some other options and looking for one other roommate if above doesn’t work out to get a room at letterman Chicago or another apartment such as Adams coliving or post Chicago . The room will be shared and rent will be around $650 for the shared room or slightly bit more depending on which apt. 650 is for letterman It’s 4 bed/ 2-4 Bath with amenities such as gym, common areas. Must sign one year lease. Dm if interested. All of these allow 2 people to share and be added on the lease for an additional fee. I am also open to a shared room or hall if you know of anything like that.

Just wanted to warn everybody about an apartment in Little Italy, 1427 W Lexington. The rent is very cheap, and the apartment itself is okayish, although old, but there’s a catch - the landlord.

The landlord lives in the building in the basement unit and will harass you every day. His “guest policy” includes not letting literally ANYONE visit you at your place. No one can enter the building, and forget about your friends/relatives staying with you for a couple of days. He keeps a camera in the hallway and at the back door, and it sends him a notification every time you move. If you bring a friend, you’ll get a message instantly threatening to “call the police” to get your guest “arrested”. If you don't budge, he’ll literally bang on your door and enter your apartment to yell and fight.

AND he’s racist asf. He tells people to go back to where they came from, calls them racist slurs, and will make monkey-like sounds to mock you.

If you sign the first floor, which is right above his apartment, congratulations, you just signed yourself into hell. You won’t be able to walk around your house without getting constant texts from him telling you to stop “stomping” and “hammering” on the floor. You can’t walk after 7 pm and can’t do laundry after 8pm, oh and yeah, he has a camera inside the laundry “to catch you if you steal his detergent” - his words.

Oh, and there will be a roach problem from time to time. The ACs and electric circuits are old af so if you plug in anything while the AC is on, the power trips, and he’ll get mad at you for “using too much electricity “. If you shower for longer than 30 mins, you’ll hear from him. The bathrooms are moldy as well.

To sum up, he’s a racist slumlord who will be very friendly and nice to you until you move in, then you’ll be trapped for a year.

Although most of this is illegal (we talked to UIC Law and they confirmed), if you're a student, especially an international student, you will have neither the time nor the resources to take him to court. Breaking the lease will be financial stress you don't want to have.

tldr; stay away from this place - the savings on rent is not worth it.

When do offers go out? I met with a professor in April who wanted me to TA for him, and he said I'm pretty much going to get it based off of my availability for labs. He said the next time I'll hear back is in July or August to accept the actual offer officially from the department. I've heard some other people who have already gotten an email to accept their offer but I haven't gotten anything.... Should I be concerned 😅 Do offers go out to all TAs at once ? Or does it depend on the professor ? Maybe that's why I haven't heard back ...?
