You can take the PATH to Newark and then take the Newark Light Rail to Branch Brook Park.

I’m certain it was happening in the 80s / 90s / 2000s, but I’ve walked home alone at night probably hundreds of times over the past 8 years and have never felt uncomfortable. So I’m just wondering if I’ve somehow been missing it recently lol.

It would definitely increase

Since the 80s.

If VIA were to cost 2x more than a single bus ride and have minimal to no wait time, would your use of VIA remain the same, increase or decrease?

Like, recently? I live a few blocks from there and walk by all the time and have never felt sketched out…?

Those were the days

You're welcome. They can't do that unless you actively broke the appliance. I will say that even though the law is on your side, you might want to think about whether it is worth it to you to have to go to court to fight over getting back the cost of a microwave, etc. A lot of shady landlords withhold money from the security deposit that they know they shouldn't, but keep just enough so that fighting for it isn't worth your time.

Billy used to come to Lucky’s back in the day. Good on him.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Appreciate it.

Re: appliances clause, the landlord casually mentioned that if one of the appliances doesn't work s when I'm moving out, he will deduct from the deposit, and hence the question.

There is nothing illegal about any of these clauses, so if the Landlord can find someone willing to sign those terms, they will be enforceable. Your recourse is to try to negotiate for their removal or find another place to rent.

As for the specific clauses:

The Repair Clause is uncommon, because the cost of such repairs is a write off for the landlord and they usually pay for this stuff out of pocket so it is reflected in their taxes and then they increase the rent the next year to recoup their costs from the previous year. If you really love the apartment, then I suppose you can live with it, but only if you plan on staying more than a year. Otherwise, you're paying for repairs they should be making and leaving before they would have a chance to recoup in increased rent.

The Appliance Clause is outrageous. Absent your actively breaking appliances through negligent or intentional actions, these are the landlord's responsibility (damage due to normal wear and tear can't even be taken from your security deposit). If you can't take the appliances with you when you move out, you should not pay to replace them due to normal wear and tear. If you really love the apartment, you could guard against this by conducting a video inspection before move out to document that all appliances are working, but if they break before you move out, that won't help.

The Move In/Out Fees Clause is very common, almost universal in condos. You generally can't avoid this by bringing things in piecemeal, because the condo needs to know when your first day will be and will charge the fee automatically because damages can occur even if you're just carrying boxes, TVs, etc.

Bottom line - if you don't absolutely need this apartment, these lease terms probably aren't worth it.

A plethora of rules is to be expected, but I've yet to hear an argument against letting them serve food. Yes, letting patrons bring in food or have it delivered would have been a good compromise, but only if there was any reason to not allow food service in the first place. Does anybody remember the rationalization behind the food service ban in the legalization bill? No homegrow is a terrible idea, but at least there's terrible logic behind it.

Yes! It looks like lumpy mashed potatoes stuffed into a sausage casing!

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to collect signatures for this haha

I've had drivers ACTIVELY try to run me over on my bike. I also had a bottle thrown at me while I was riding. Try riding a bike around here sometime, it's intense. Also look at some articles on cyclist deaths in NYC. Drivers are rarely punished at all. Murder could be legal if you do it with a car.

Yep. It's total horseshit. I'd stay far away from this listing.

The mgt company doesn't do the actual maintenance--if they can be bothered, they make a call to one of their vendors (who invariably gives them a cut), and the tenant is then on their own. They'll likely be paying full freight for that minor (i.e., $400) plumbing repair.

I feel like with the flu, we have a decent sense of how it ebbs and flows already. But it seems like with covid, we don’t have that yet. But i could be convinced we should be tracking flu more closely.

Curious how did you get caught? What time/what station did you get ticketed
