Either you rent too long and have to pay for too places at once, or too short and have to crash somewhere while the purchase closes.
The latter of which I'll probably have to do, assuming I find a place to get in the near future, as I intend to, because the process is long and full of terrors.

I'm looking in the western Queens/northwestern Brooklyn area. It looks like Sunnyside might be the most likely place, in terms of reasonable price/actually nice buildings/decent walkscore/near subway compromises. Not the best in any category, but consistently good in all of them.

Don't you teach in Harlem? Wouldn't the Bronx make more sense, then? Or is the Bronx just as expensive as Manhattan?

I teach in Union Square. Also, no one wants to live in the Bronx.

Oh right, the reason I associated Harlem with your job is that I remembered the trial went cold there when you used Find My iPad.

In the Bronx we sometimes have "air quality warnings" when there's high humidity. It's like when they're flushing the pipes and they say not to use water for 45 minutes only they're like "try not to breathe so much." Right now, they're resurfacing the pavement on a main drag by my office and there's a constant haze of particulate in the air as a result. It has been three days.
This is in addition to the constant muggings etc., and *this is a relatively nice section*.
"Try not to breathe so much."
But yeah Sunnyside's pretty baller.

I assumed you could let the lease go to a month-to-month thing once you fulfilled the original term like you can do with cell phone plans. Is that not an option?
Not with every landlord.
My current landlord is telling me that he is being penalized by his mortgage company for having a tenant that is not on a lease, so he needs a lease.

Sure but he can write a lease that goes for a term (say a year) and also lets you leave with 30 days' notice without penalty. He should do that.

I was proceeding from the understanding that the landlord was okay with doing a month-to-month arrangement (and in fact you have one right now, but he's now requesting that you go back on a lease because the penalties just started).
You just add a clause that reads something like "this agreement may be terminated by the tenant by written notice etc." (I wouldn't phrase it more specifically, because I'm not a lawyer.) It's just a contract; you can make it say anything. If he wanted rent to be paid exclusively in Valencia oranges, he could toss that in.
