Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo has given a couple of different answers when asked how much he pays for rent — including on Wednesday night during a chaotic Democratic mayoral primary debate. Cuomo,


the frontrunner in the June 24 primary, told moderators that he was forking over $7,800 monthly as he scribbled on a pad of paper during the lightning round of questions at the fiery


NBC-Politico forum held at 30 Rockefeller Center Plaza. That was the third figure the veteran politician has offered in recent months about the cost to live in his luxury Manhattan


apartment, located near Sutton Place. When The Post reviewed Cuomo’s lease earlier this year, it was listed at $8,200 and he paid just over $8,000 to start. He told the New York Times 


earlier this week that his rent had just jumped to about $8,000 per month. EXPLORE MORE Cuomo has been labeled a carpetbagger by critics after it came to light he only registered to vote in


the city last fall. He also only started living full-time in the city since the fall after splitting time between Westchester County and Manhattan. Cuomo initially lived in the Midtown East


apartment with one of his daughters, before she moved out as hear dad geared up for his comeback bid for mayor, which he announced March 2. The other candidates said during the debate they


either rented or owned their homes across the Big Apple – though their monthly payments were lower than Cuomo’s. Here’s what the rest of the candidates for the Democratic nod said they pay


for housing: * City Comptroller Brad Lander: $3,300 * City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams: “Our home is paid. I’m a homeowner.” * State Sen. Zellnor Myrie: $1,300 * State Sen. Jessica Ramos:


$2,500 * Former City Comptroller Scott Stringer: $6,400 * State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani: $2,300 * Rev. Michael Blake: $1,800 * Financier Whitney Tilson: Owns but pays $5,000 in


upkeep and taxes One of the pressing issues brought up numerous times during the debate, was how to make housing in the city more affordable — with candidates detailing various plans.
