would be nice to own a home but i rent in a city and i couldn't justify $500k to worsen my life by moving way the hell out and start driving everywhere or i could just casually drop $700k on a complete piece of poo poo floor in a 3-family house that's way worse than my already lovely rental in the area...at least I wouldn't be supporting landlords anymore

https://www.bostonmagazine.com/property/2022/04/28/burhan-azeem-cambridge-housing/quote:And with a flexible budget ($1,000 to $1,500 a month) and a decent salary, you’d think it’d be easy to find a nice place to live, right? Not so much. For $1,000 a month, Azeem faced such options as a room with no heat and no windows (just a skylight that he was assured opened and closed), and apartments with insect infestations. There were places with no storage space and ones where the existing tenant admitted the electricity occasionally went out because the landlord would forget to pay utilities. lol city council members can't afford to live in the city they council unless they are independently wealthy

there's still only like 1 not-absolute-garbage 2BR unit on the market every couple of weeks in my area and it gets immediately snapped up for 20% over. some of the absolute-garbage units are staying on the market, though, which is...something?

trickybiscuits posted:Is there any consensus on the smallest appropriate amount to take a former landlord to small claims court for? My ex-landlord is holding back money for repainting a room, which he shouldn't have done because in this state landlords can only take deductions if they return the remainder of the deposit within two weeks and provide documentation of their costs. It's not a lot but I could ask for damages, including punitive damages (landlord has violated the law before, and frankly I'm furious at how I bent over backward to be a nice, compliant tenant). idk what's best for YOU but what's best for the world is to get him for all you can get no matter how small

in the winter my building (steam heat) is constantly wavering between needing windows wide open in 15degree weather and essentially no heat or hot water. must be tough to have one dial to turn for a 30 unit complex and the dial also turns on its own sometimes. or something.

Paradoxish posted:When our house burned down, our insurance adjuster spent almost two weeks profusely apologizing that the (really nice) 1300 sq. ft. apartment they were putting us in temporarily was the "largest they could find on short notice." Absurd. She seemed legitimately shocked that we were insisting that no, actually, that was plenty big for two of us no matter how long construction might take. where did you put your ball pit and Bowflex?

Vomik posted:nyc is just weird because of how much money is there and almost everyone who is rich enough to live there but isn't independently wealthy work in some professional services capacity. you pay a 1 month's rent fee to the realtor in boston too. I think some higher-end complexes will have their own guys to show the units, but for normal people you absolutely will be paying the $2k to the rear end in a top hat who unlocks the door for you.

Twerk from Home posted:In 4 months the numbers will be completely different. my previous landlord (not a mom n pop, company owning multiple 20+ unit buildings) had no provision for an early lease break. When I emailed them about it they just said “you signed a lease you have to stay/pay for the full term.” I had to call, at which point they said the same thing! I explained in detail that there can be a mutually beneficial outcome where I pay a “fee” of less than the remained of my term, and they find a new tenant to occupy the unit and end up with more money overall. The person on the line seemed to “get it” and offered to call back. Next day they came back with their offer: I could leave for free.

Nothus posted:You're lucky. I had a similar situation once when I abruptly had to change jobs and move, and was told to pay out the rest of the term plus a fee for vacating the unit early or expect a court summons. Wiped out my savings. what the hell, are you obligated by the lease to sleep in the unit?
