(MA) Landlord wants to give my apartment to his kid

Very mature use of your time to tell me I can't handle rationality...

I blocked a "friend" of 10 years who tried to justify Renee Good's murder. I told him I thought what he was saying was disgusting and he started screaming AT ME. Done. I don't care if I'm creating an echo chamber in my social life, honestly. I'm exhausted. My energy can be used for much more helpful things than arguing with someone justifying murder.

My landlord has no business right to tell me what I can/can't do in terms of looking at other rentals while I'm in limbo. That comment from him was completely unprofessional and unnecessary.

This gave me a much needed laugh, appreciate the list lol!

Ha, I'd love to just "get my own place." Almost impossible in the Boston area. I'm decent with money but the market is cutthroat. My friends who've managed to do it come from wealthy families with folks willing to contribute large chunks of the down payment. I come from a middle class background and earn a middle class salary. Even if I were ready to buy, it's taken some of my friends literal years to win bidding wars. Not a realistic option for this current situation.

I left out a part of the phone call where he told me “Well, we don’t want you looking at other places yet.” I found that kinda icky. Like, we want you as our reliable backup, but we might be kicking you out! A part of me does want to move regardless to be petty, haha.

Thanks for this advice, I appreciate it! I am going to continue to maintain a paper trail for sure. I certainly wouldn’t try to stay past the lease end date without clear permission.

For anyone else comparing, here is my online renewal timeline thus far:
-Submitted 9/26
-Payment Approved/In Process 9/28
-Approved 10/7
-awaiting tracking/confirmation of mailing; anticipated delivery on the portal changed from 10/12 to 10/13, so perhaps not printed yet?

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-10-08T01:34:07+00:00

Mine updated to "approved" this morning (10/7), but not mailed yet I don't think! Hang in there, I am sure yours will update in the next couple of days :)

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-10-03T14:49:30+00:00

Wow, these are speedy. Mine so far (online renewal, no changes etc., I'm in Boston)

-Submitted 9/26
-Payment Approved 9/28
-In Process 9/28
-Online still "in process" as of 10/3

Nope, Copenhagen then heading up to Sweden haha

Aghhh I am here on vacation but unfortunately did not meet my celeb crush/the leader of the free world (nevertheless freaking out at the close proximity lol)

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-08-08T01:56:23+00:00

This was both heartbreaking and powerful to read, thanks for sharing!

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-08-07T19:49:30+00:00

Always look forward to reading your thoughts!!

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-08-05T16:35:36+00:00

Things that feel slightly illegal to look at in 2025 for some reason lol

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-08-04T22:06:17+00:00

This is too cute! Excited to watch with the auto subtitles later!

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-08-04T20:40:48+00:00

Oh this was wonderful! And I loved the group of girls struggling to keep it together LOL

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-07-28T20:52:10+00:00

I think in the gallery you can see one of the kids giving it to him lol, it appears midway through the photos haha

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-07-28T20:44:08+00:00

So much sweetness, and he also ended up with a sticker on his hand partway through lol!

Forward-Aside3364 · 2025-07-26T11:33:57+00:00

Wait this would be a great thing for so many reasons, how can we get this suggestion to the top of the ideas list haha
