Deducting it from your rent is not legal and would put you in the wrong.

I would try asking for the cleaning fee back nicely. Pointing out that the fee is illegal is not likely to get you anywhere unless you’re willing to follow that up with legal action.

This sounds like a crappy situation, the fee is too small for a reasonable person to fight it, and any action you take to withhold rent is a losing battle for you.

Ask for it back, and if they refuse, leave the place dirty enough that they won’t be able to pocket your $250

Do not do this. Ask them for it back and see what happens, but deducting it from rent will cause you a lot more BS than the $250 is worth

Well I cheated so

Anyone else finish?

The party of "fiscal conservatism" LOL

>"...but many of the problems can be traced to a larger philosophy: outsourcing government expertise to a retainer of consultants. “What I’ve heard from consultants, which is surprising because they make so much money off this stuff, is, ‘Agencies don’t know what they want, and we have to figure it out,’ ”.

Nearly a century of this BS. How many "studies" have been done on the BLX to MGH?

I do agree with the premise that transit agencies lack the knowhow because they don't pay enough for it. "Outsourcing" said knowledge to private entities makes the costs skyrocket for said studies too.

Also agree too much public input has plagued America for decades. There's a big ocean between the massive eminent domain of the 50s and today, where hardly anything gets built.

Supposedly sweet green is struggling right now on the corporate level. I think they might be cutting costs

You still have to take the permit test before signing up for driving school

Remember when all the GOP ever talked about was fiscal responsibility and personal responsibility? I cannot understand the mindset of a Republican voter. Why can they not see all of the BS?

At least it didn't get jellied.

Dude, the headline starts with the word "Commentary." It's not masquerading as anything, OP just linked us to an editorial.

The author is quite clear on his "agenda", and musters many facts to support his position. That's how editorials work...

UMass my sister graduated from there. All of the kids are natural hustlers as opposed to their private school counterparts. Her professors all taught at Harvard too but weren’t tenured so they did UMB on the side. She ended up at Suffolk Law and does very well so I wld say save the $ on his next chapter, not undergrad.

Jam is made from mashed fruits, and jelly made from strained fruit juice.

TBF, they are in disarray whether they are in debt or not.

This is the party that decided to run a Trump supporter for governor in a state that voted against Trump by a 66-32 margin. And they actively disliked a very popular governor from their own party by the end of his term.

All of their commercials drive me bat shit crazy. Ugh and the drawl when he says M o r g a n & M o r g a n. All they do is sub out their cases to Boston Attorneys and get a cut. 🤮

Scampo is a restaurant with the best tiramisu I have ever tried.

I mean, half the people here suggested grocery stores. Besides, I'm telling you exactly where to get the best tiramisu in town. All it takes is whisking a bowl of mascarpone, a bowl of yolks, and then folding it all together. If you're lazy or just can't cook, then go ahead and disregard this comment...

Came here to say this..

The Yacht club was there for almost 60 years before they built the bridge.

I think they have the right the keep the water way navigable seeing how they were there first.

This article's author is a fool. The issue is that its navigable waterway and the USCG takes enforcement seriously. If you have a problem with it take it up with them and your federally elected officials.

Yeah. School used to have the highest amount of Ivy League teachers outside of the Ivy Leagues themselves only a few years ago. School genuinely had a lot going for it, but IMO is an abysmal place now and absolutely not worth it. Extra debt at another school would be worth it when you consider that you aren't going to do any networking whatsoever at UMB, and I'm literally being taught stuff that I learned in the eighth grade, so you're not really learning anything of value either.

When I talk to people who used to teach and attend UMB they seem really surprised. Most of the good teachers and faculty that made that good experience have left (and also in some cases pushed out).

I attended pre-COVID so your depiction of the current situation is more accurate. That's too bad 😕

Overall, you are better off going through a driving school. You will get a reduced insurance rate for having done so, and so it's nearly an even wash in that regard. It is not so bad.
