The Apartment

Latka hat seine Wohnung verloren. Nach einigen Mühen findet er eine Bleibe. Die allerdings ist einige Nummern zu groß und zu teuer für ihn. Seine Freunde finden das Luxusappartment toll. Nur: Wie macht man genug Geld, um sich die Wohnung länger als einen Monat leisten zu können?

When it is discovered that Latka is living at the garage after being kicked out of his apartment, Alex helps him find a place. Latka is able to find one on his own and invites Alex to see it. The apartment appears to be a beautiful luxury penthouse, and he has misunderstood that the $3000 rent is monthly, as opposed to a one time fee. Alex is about to get Latka out of the arrangement, when he gets the bright idea that the whole gang can share the apartment for the month and see how the other half lives. When the month is up, the gang is reluctant to give up their decadent new lifestyle, so they decide to throw a "rent party" in the hopes of staying another month. However, all the party goers (except Elaine) are male and demand their money back when they see there are no available women. Having lost their apartment, the cabbies agree to help Latka find a new place.
