My daughter graduated from graduate school in 2020, and her roommates also went their separate ways. So I started looking for a house again.

came to the present after another 2 years. My daughter’s best friend and roommate has changed jobs and is moving to another city. The daughter began to look for her third "home". The rental market in New York is booming this year, with rents rising sharply. My daughter finally found an acceptable price, a small studio for 2,500 yuan. This time the rent has doubled.

It has heating and air conditioning
Studio is a small suite with a kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms.
There is also a small bar
My daughter finally rented her own house and ended the shared life.
My daughter has been in New York for 4 years, and now she is heading to the next 2 years. The order of rent is: 1,250 knives (2018-2020), 1,350 knives (2020-2022), 2,500 knives (2022-).
