Newton cutting funding to their schools’ special Ed and extra curriculars because they’re in so much debt. So ducked up

I applied to an apartment and they wanted so much information about my gf’s cat. They wanted her age, weight, picture, and even vaccination records.

What a strange thing to require. Is there an approval process for the cat? Like, do they say something like pets are approved on a case by case basis?

I had to submit vaccination records when I was renting, and I think that's not entirely unheard of.

The immediate area around the Shawmut T station offers street parking for non-residents on Friday after 4 pm until Monday 10 am. A few blocks away you can park earlier on Friday.
