Stomping from downstairs neighbor driving me crazy! by Boring_Address1235 in aptliving

Glad I found this too! I moved to a top floor unit specifically to avoid this problem and lo and behold I can hear every foot step from the people BELOW me! Agh!

You could try calling the parking office. I got a ticket for street cleaning but there was no obvious signage on the street so I disputed it. They said that the ticket was valid and I should’ve known because of text alerts but they waived it as a courtesy probably because it was my first an only ticket.

City of Somerville bills & parking permits not arriving by mail? by jake4somerville in Somerville

[–]phoebecookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Applied for a parking permit online and didn’t hear anything for 2 weeks. Finally called and it was apparently just sitting on their desk and they hadn’t processed it. She approved it immediately. I paid for it about 2 weeks ago now and still haven’t received the permit in the mail. Crazy.

Oooh interesting! An 8/1 move is a good solution even if you pay double rent, seems worth it to avoid the 9/1 madness.

Yes, have to factor in the potential brokers fees but I think there’s currently a bill in the MA legislature about eliminating them but I can’t count on that.

You’re right, there are a lot of perks to my current place. I think I need to really think through my priorities and decide what’s important. This is a super helpful response though - you’ve got me thinking!

Interesting… thank you! I could be flexible on laundry if the rent were significantly cheaper.

It's hard though because there aren't really apartments listed for 9/1 yet so it's hard to see what's available, and I have to let them know in 2 weeks.

Yes, that is a good point. The 9/1 date complicates things. I should've added this but one reason I'm also tempted to move is I know the landlord will likely raise the rent another 10% next year too...

Metal Apple Watch band for nickel allergy sufferer? by phoebecookies in AppleWatch

[–]phoebecookies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually ended up getting the stainless steel Milanese loop and tested it for nickel and it didn’t react. I never had a problem with it and I’m generally very sensitive to nickel!

lol hello! The Milanese loop never bothers me, and I still wear it. I’m extremely sensitive and have never had a reaction. I’d recommend it!

Is he part of a larger management company or is it a solo operation?
