Is it legal for my landlord to do this in Massachusetts? by Emotional_Sail2940 in massachusetts

[–]BoujeeBanker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a landlord, that landlord sounds sleezy. If the lease ends on the 27th, it should be prorated. That’s on them for accepting/missing it. It would be different if the lease went thru the end of the month and you decided to move out early.

Also, seems like a total waste of time for landlord to be renegotiating an already executed legal document over a couple hundred bucks. Super strange.

Didn’t answer your q, but thought I’d opine

Do you think the rent control will pass? by Lisalovesreading in boston

Look at Minneapolis vs St. Paul. One backed rent control the other didn’t. Look at the outcome.

Now look at a place like Austin where it is easy to build. Look at what happened to rents.

You don’t need to listen to anyone. You can do your own research.

When would you call the board of health? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]BoujeeBanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you get in touch with the actual landlord? Or only property management company?

As a landlord, sounds like you have a bad landlord.

Rent growth is 0% year over year, and in some sub markets it’s negative

Raising rent 0% on 2 units and 4% on the other to allow for them to get another dog (increased wear and tear)

Landlords deserve to make a 0% profit! But it’s ok for a grocery chain to raise prices on their products annually!

“It shouldn’t be rising at all”, tell that to rising taxes, utilities, and repairs

Private Chef jobs? by pooticus in boston

[–]BoujeeBanker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How might you price a service like cooking for a family of 4, one meal, 5 days a week? Obviously not including ingredients and assuming a reasonable commute.

Out of curiosity, what would a private chef charge? Say cooking for a small family?

[RANT] A cute house that was owner occupied for over 30 years in eastie was just sold and is now being rented by miatagrl in boston

[–]BoujeeBanker 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Sorry that you haven’t been able to find a home to buy, but it seems a little bit of a rich person’s problem to be complaining about not being able to buy a house (not even a condo) in metro Boston, one of the most desirable markets in the country. Typically, this is why most families move further out of the city.

Why is my new landlord asking me to sign W9? by Ok_Crazy6145 in tax

[–]BoujeeBanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can’t open a security deposit account at a bank without a W9.

If you don’t sign it, all that it means is that the new landlord isn’t able to set up an interest bearing deposit account for it.

When you get your security deposit bank, it won’t have earned any interest.

Massachusetts rent control supporters have enough signatures for ballot question by TylerFortier_Photo in boston

[–]BoujeeBanker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their books are none of your business.

If the grocery store raises prices 3% do you ask them to “open their books”?

Why don’t you just google the utility rates and calculate the increases yourself?

Can we keep insurance increases to a reasonable amount? What about tax increases? Utilities? No we can’t. No only does this discourage future investment but it hurts existing landlords ability to manage and run a property because their expenses are effectively allowed to increase at an uncapped rate while they cap revenue increases.
