You're more likely to be harmed by someone you know than a total stranger: remember that.

I've come across this before in Worcester. It was like $250 or something ridiculous. I told them I wanted to apply but would not be paying it. Took some pressure but they relented. That being said I decided against going for it. No way they're good land lords

No cell signal Savoy! We got slammed out here in the Berkshires.

Hardware stores should start renting out Tunnel Digging machines.

Ive been venturing out that way to ice fish, some parts of the state has winter. Not any more though that Snow ruins ice.

Boy I hope you’re a child, otherwise this comment would make you look like an idiot

I called it and it was more like 27" inches in paxton and 6 (atleast where I live) in worcester

I like these snow posts, I'm learning about a ton of towns that I've never heard of before.

I’m out here thinking “wow I can’t believe there is a redditor in Savoy” hahaha.

I used to do water testing and there was a camp I would test near Savoy. I loved driving on Route 2 up there.

I love savoy in the spring

"If you need help, please contact the Attorney General's Consumer Hotline at (617) 727-8400."

Might as well tell them, but I'm not sure how much they'll help if you're not going to fight it yourself.

I had to drive back to Boston from Williamstown last night (Rt 2), Central Mass was a nightmare. We were chillin until the "no salt zones"

30 minutes into the no salt zone and we saw an F-150 that used a snowbank as a ramp to launch itself into the woods. It was getting lifted out by a crane like 20 ft in the air. Gotta drive with caution out there!

You should report this to... the relevant authority, which I'm not sure who it is. If they bother to actually look into it, it could scare your landlord into giving it back. Otherwise, you could sue them in small claims court if you ever move out.

You can't not "rock the boat" and get the fee back, you need to choose.

Pretend you just found this webpage, send them an email and see where that goes https://www.mass.gov/guides/landlord-responsibilities

Thank u for posting this! I just learned about the town of Savoy because of you.

Opinion:

I would suggest you speak to a lawyer if you are that concerned about it. I am not going to provide legal advice.

If this is illegal, do I think that's a bad thing you are experiencing? Yes. But your choices were to either keep looking elsewhere or accept it. You chose to accept, and from the sound of it, so have many others. The world is what we make of it, for better or for worse.

And I'll end my thought by saying, that silly old law, become a silly old law, because the world accepted it as such.

Indeed

For sure yea

Opinion:

> So it’s Ok for people to break the law if they’re taking advantage of something, since the other party benefits from it too? 🤔

Not sure, if trolling, since that seems like a loaded question. But let me put it this way. It is technically still illegal to sneeze in public by the road. The old law was made so as not to scare horses on the road. It is not enforced, and people who sneeze out on the street are technically still breaking the law.

Laws are only as good as people are willing to accept and willing to enforce. You were willing to break the law, as was the landlord, and you are not going to report this either.

Light dusting in the south shore. My wipers had a bit of a struggle.

If true there is a special place in hell for animals like this.

>Authorities searched a separate residence Ferrick was renting in Amherst on Feb. 21, leading them to seize eight more devices, including multiple hidden camera systems and USB storage devices. One of the hidden camera devices, which was designed to be worn as a bracelet, allegedly contained at least two videos of Ferrick administering medical exams.

Gross. I'm not one of those parents that thinks every socially awkward dude I meet in Target is trying to kidnap and traffic me and my kids -- but this really, this is pretty upsetting.
