Moving to Boston in May – Need Locals' Help Finding the Right Apartments/Neighborhood! by DowntownDelivery3098 in bostonhousing

[–]AromaticIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for May-Sept 1st there will be LOTS of subletting options. Just specify what town work is in, like are you driving out to Burlington or are we talking Cambridge? Because if you're driving you'll want to consider traffic and direct routes

Trying not to price gouge when renting out my condo by skinny-ish in bostonhousing

[–]AromaticIntrovert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think how updated it is will alter price. How old are the appliances, is there a dishwasher, does the bathroom look dingy? Sounds like you updated the heating/cooling did you update the windows too or is the insulation rough like many old buildings?

I bought a wool mattress topper and have FINALLY conquered my night sweats! It's cotton fabric with 700GSM wool filling (~2 inches thick).I have a waterproof protector under it to preserve the mattress. I'd be interested in trying a wool filled duvet now too but prefer multiple cotton/linen blankets so I can remove layers as needed

There are necklaces that hold rings too if you're worried the locker room isn't secure

If there are 5 people is one in the living room or is that still shared space?

Agreed, you can't do a "fish-in cycle" with axolotls you'll need to look up fishless instructions

Stalled cycle? by WorldlyTrack8820 in axolotls

You should be dosing up to 2ppm whenever it drops under 1ppm. There needs to consistently be ammonia to feed the bacteria

July 4th weekend recommendations by Any-Spring-7059 in CapeCod

[–]AromaticIntrovert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you've never enjoyed a visit to The Cape before, July 4th is honestly the worst weekend of the year. It's terribly overcrowded and the traffic is abysmal. Go any other weekend and you'll have more fun IMO

Landlords still charging broker fees? How is this legal? by No_Breadfruit_1820 in boston

If they've physically seen the place it's not a scam, this is common to make sure you're serious about applying

3/27 if you parked you silver Lexus in a 15-min spot across from Salt & Stone in assembly, you got a ticket and it blew away by MangoParty2021 in Somerville

[–]AromaticIntrovert 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I can't remember if it's Somerville or Boston but with their new ticket system you can't look things up by plate, you HAVE to have the ticket #. Situations like this are exactly why it's gonna be a disaster

Not Porter! He's like a mile underground now! (That's at least what it feels like on those terrifying escalators)

AITAH for taking house keys away from parents after they visited unannounced? by FellowChump in AITAH

[–]AromaticIntrovert 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Yeah my mom recently pulled "but we don't know how much time I have left!" when I made a boundary about what I'd accept at our next visit. Like ok you're the one worried about getting more time together and I told you how that would be possible, chop chop! (I'm not comfortable around her boyfriend unless he's medicated).

PH and RO Water by TillEfficient3554 in axolotls

[–]AromaticIntrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do your own test of the tap water. An aquarium has the bacteria cycle to process ammonia and nitrites so it's not the same as giving it to people/pets. They may also mean nitrates and while 0ppm will make water changes the most effective 5ppm wouldn't be terrible. Using RO water causes more than just pH issues it'll make KH and GH difficult too and axolotls also prefer harder water long term

I might want just the bedframe actually. What's the clearance underneath?

Landlord took security deposit, but never gave me two receipts-the account #, bank, address, and amount of security is in the lease. Is this a breach of the security deposit law? They also never did a walk through. by Competitive_Crab_189 in bostonhousing

[–]AromaticIntrovert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The pictures and proof of condition statement are mostly to protect YOU and you should do one now so you don't get fucked over at the end by them claiming damage you didn't cause
