It could have been a group session. The wife may have given consent. It's really none of your business.

Reply to Disney on Ice worth it? Anyone have any discount codes? Would love to take my 5 year old but would rather not spend $200! by curlyqp
Anything involving Disney is never worth the asking price, but people are willing to pay so that's why it's so expensive.

I have yet to encounter a high end Boston restaurant that attempts to enforce a dress code.

Safest thing to do is renew when you're a year from expiration. It's a pain in the ass but it's the only way you can ensure you won't have this happen again.

It's indicative of someone with cash flow problems. Once they move in, it's really hard to get them out. What happens when the lease is up and the OP can't/won't pay? Evicting someone takes forever.

Be that as it may, there may be some small time landlords who are willing to take the chance, but as OP is finding, they generally consider it odd and don't want to take it into consideration.

Sure, and that's why most landlord don't want to bother with the hassle. That said, if OP were offered a lease, signed it and then wrote a check for the full balance of the lease- there's nothing illegal about it- it's just stupid.

You don't have enough for 20% down on most properties in the area. You may as well just look at an FHA loan although tbh you're probably going to remain house poor even then. You just don't make enough to afford a house here.

No lol. It's illegal for them to require anything more than first/last/security/fee. As a tenant you're free to pay the entire lease balance up front, it's just stupid to do so.

No, it's not illegal lol. It's just unrealistic because most people can't/don't want to put up that much up front.
It is illegal for them to make you pay more than first/last/security/fee up front.

I mean, the landlord could accept the entire lease amount up front and that certainly saves them the hassle of chasing people for money every month. The problem of course is what happens when the lease expires?

Not worth the gamble to them. They'll find someone who consistently makes more.

Reply to comment by BoredinBoston524 in How much is normal for rent to increase in a lease renewal ? by MacaroonParticular99
There's less risk involved when the landlord knows he'll find a new tenant shortly after the current tenant says they're not renewing.
In truth, I challenge anyone who's renting right now to run the numbers and find a 2 BR house that can truly cost less than $2,400/month. Between the mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, water/sewer and heating bills, it's just not realistic anymore.

Sadly, the cost of oil/natural gas and electric is skyrocketing so yeah it's expensive, but it's not like you can buy a 2 BR house and maintain it for any less than that.

No it's not. This is a very expensive incident. Even an umbrella policy couldn't afford to pay out all these claims.

No one could afford insurance that would fully cover a claim like this and no insurer would write a policy that had limits that high. It's a pointless thought exercise to even argue about this.

Apple has a ton of lawyers who will deal with any lawsuits. It's literally not even something they are worried about. Apple gets sued almost daily.
