Heath Ledger’s New York Apartment Up For Rent
HOLLYWOOD - The New York residence where late Hollywood actor Heath Ledger was found dead has been put back on the market for rent.
Ledger was found in the downtown Manhattan apartment in January 2008, after an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
The SoHo loft flat has been listed for $26,000 a month, $4,000 more than the actor paid before his tragic death.
Ledger moved into the loft in September 2007 after finishing work on his role as The Joker in his last completed film, Batman sequel The Dark Knight.
According to the New York Post, the apartment was quietly being shopped around in February 2008.
A New York real-estate broker told the newspaper at the time: “You don’t wait around in a hot rental market like this. As ghoulish as it sounds, people will rent that place in a heartbeat.”
The apartment includes three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, an office, laundry room, gourmet kitchen, sprawling balcony and wood-burning fireplace. The apartment’s agent at New York’s Corcoran Group did not return calls on the listing.
As WENN went to press, the building’s owner, Donald Burns, could not be reached.

Living in Manhattan is pricey enough as it is already; but to raise it because of the late actor’s demise is not unheard of but dispicable. I lived in Battery Park City before, during and after September 11th and the same happened there as well. A double shame on those considering to rent the residence for that reason alone!!!

I mean , don’t you think that Heath’s family or Michelle Williams or a friend of his should do something about it?? It’s been ONLY 8 months and they’ve already started to not to care about him? It’s just beyond disrespectful and unbelieveable…Don’t worry , Heath , we’re still here for you… we’ll always be…
Rest In Peace, our Angel… sleep well… -
