I lived in a 1-bed on Kirkland st in Cambridge with a no lawyer policy. The building had a live in super who was pretty annoying. He 100% didn’t want tenants who knew their rights. He took a liking to me but if he didn’t like you it was a much different experience

Depending on your outdoor space, you could use bagster. You buy one at Home Depot/lowes, fill it with trash, and they come pick it up. Has to be placed outside near the road though
