I saw one a few months ago swoop down near the train tracks in Cranford

NYTimes merely cites the rent.com article. They clearly didn’t check themselves. Yes, I agree it is very frustrating.

Some people pulled the numbers and the average is like $2000 lower. It’s not even close. I challenged someone to find me a single building in which the average is that high, and not even the most luxurious luxury building has it to say nothing of all of Bergen Lafayette or Greenville etc.

Sorry, I don’t have all the discussions and data on hand. But I mean…. Anyone who lives here should know it’s hilariously painfully bullshit.

I'm in Morris County and there are definitely homes in your price range. They're going to be a bit older. Newer homes are all $1 million plus BUT a lot of them are built like shit. My brother bought one and in fewer than 10 years things are already breaking--drywall coming off, leaks in the roof, boards coming up on the porch, etc. Our house, by comparison, was built in the 30s and is still going strong with minimal upkeep other than painting and power washing. Morris isn't as diverse, though, with the exception of Morristown itself and Madison somewhat.

Thanks, and the death of all of these animals is a shame....I'm being downvoted because many people would rather believe conspiracy theories, that support that idiot Trumps disdain of offshore wind turbines, with garbage they see on facebook or fox news over the truth about a known serious issues with marine mammals with scientific research backing up the findings ...

This is clearly an error... Notify also the state's utility commission (don't know the name) and Let them know of the character of your dispute. It should be handled promptly, the state will be on their case to assure that

Remember, the NYT has worse fact checkers than an anonymous user on Reddit who provides no proof that the report is wrong

The absolute hubris is outstanding

They are Using high frequency sonar to map the sea floor. This really screws up whales. They will beach themselves to get away from the sound waves in the water thus killing themselves.

Well, today I learned. But yeah that makes sense!

I’m not a lawyer, I’m not sure. But is all do this worth it? They returned the deposit late but you also violated the lease agreement. I would just cut your losses and move on. Their charges aren’t outrageous especially if they hired someone.

The point is, I agree there may have been misunderstandings so I'm willing to pay for half the cost he is charging me. But does that relieve him from returning the deposit/itemized deductions after 75 days?

It depends on how crowded the 33rd St train is. I used to do it cuz the Path was so crowded and also I am a bit of a train nerd. I really enjoyed the commuter train ride. (I know I am in the minority and most people are in a rush)

Plus my company would give us a monthly Transitchek stipend and Path didn’t accept it so I could only use it on NJT.

It can be slightly more time but there are always trains going to Secaucus so you usually don’t have to wait. And then once you get to Secaucus there are tons of options coming into Penn. it’s also very comfy on the commuter trains. I would do that in the morning and then Path back home in the evening.

And yes…definitely more expensive.

He didn't say specifically for free. We brought it in through the backyard because it wasn't fitting through the front door. Eventually, the owner completely filled the backyard with his things making it impossible to move it. We had requested him a week before moving to clear his things so that we could take the couch out which he didn't do. We also had construction work going next door which had caused issues and he specifically said that the construction guys owe him favors so he will have them take care of it and we need not worry about it. This is why I assumed we wouldn't be charging for it.

Did he say he could take care of it for free specifically at no charge or did you assume that??

Huh, didn’t realize this was a thing? I mean costs more and takes longer than PATH though no?

Hoboken to Secaucus.
Secaucus to Penn

How can I change at Secaucus if I live in Hoboken? Go backwards first?

Jersey City is not the most expensive city for rent in the country. It was one random article from rent.com, with no methodology, that has been multiple times debunked. They were off by thousands of dollars, and it’s insane that got published by anyone.

Or if you really believe the average 1-2 bedroom rent in all of JC is $5k I’ve got some luxury housing to sell ya.

Sure. Change at Secaucus Junction.

Commuter trains from JC or Hoboken to NYC?

There is actually a $1 monthly fee and then a $1 Bi-Monthly Fee for statements.

Yep - time is not the issue, you are disputing amounts and they appear reasonable and not overly exaggerated.
