If you’ve got an extra $20,000 a month lying around — and really, who doesn’t? — you’re in luck!

Kelly Bensimon, former star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City,” is renting out her apartment in the Police Building at 240 Centre St., the New York Post reported. Occupying the fourth floor of the Beaux-Arts building, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom co-op unit is 2,600 square feet, with 17-foot ceilings and large windows. The owner is Bensimon’s ex-husband, photographer Gilles Bensimon.

Kelly Bensimon recently sold her Hampton beach mansion for $5.76 million, less than half the original $12 million asking price.

Sigh.

According to the Post, Douglas Elliman listing broker Steven Gold declined to comment.

She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.
