They make it sound damn near impossible to switch a NY registration to MA, and neither state gives an F that their laws conflict with the other’s.

MA requires you to have MA insurance before you resister your car/get your MA plates. NY requires you to surrender your NY plates and registration before you cancel your NY insurance (if you don’t, they will suspend your license). MA does not issue temporary plates, and you must have plates on your car. There is no grace period for any of this. Some people have managed by temporarily holding two car insurance policies. I somehow managed without doing that, but rather switching everything on the same day and mailing the NY plates back the day I got my MA plates.

Same here! It was a shit apartment that I shared with strangers while I was a student and bartending, but some of my favorite memories were while living there. Even having raccoon babies fall through the drop ceiling (twice) was more funny than scary. It really was a perfect spot for that time in my life. Also, being able to essentially walk to the airport was amazing.

It’s not about being polite, it’s about protecting OP from the legal consequences of shorting their rent. OP can escalate it and the court will back them if the landlord refuses to refund the fee, but they have no case if they haven’t even tried asking for the fee back.

Wow didn’t expect so many upvotes. Thank you all

Was a short vacation I took like a month ago or so. I’m not from the US. I saw these very cute houses and I had the urge to paint them. Loved Boston!
