We’re waiting to get priced out of friggen Woonsocket at this point. Downstairs neighbors rent went up $500 and the landlord is splitting the gas bill between the units instead of including it in rent. 😮‍💨

If you are financially strapped Cox does offer discount of $30.

Please make sure to post again if there is a zoom option! ❤️

What luck! Glad it all worked out.

To be honest I don’t know why you would ever want to drop in. The appointments make it so you are in and out quick as heck.

Ahh. I haven’t gone since I moved back to RI. I did register a car with AAA but it was a different state and like 12 years ago 😅

Idk if this is an option as no one has suggested it but can AAA DMV services help with things like this?

Again, yeah man, we all agree it’s stupid. It’s reckless. It’s downright selfish. No one is disagreeing with any of that. All I’m saying is maybe act like these were people with now very much grieving mothers, fathers, siblings etc.

I agree entirely. A huge difference between a lesson learned (hopefully) and a forever sleep.

Wild how many comments I had to go through to get to this one.

People act like they’ve never done stupid things. I am the first to admit I have a wealth of stupid things under my belt. I think a lot of people can admit the same… I don’t think we all to deserve to die tragically and then have that death celebrated by a bunch of pleebs online.

I literally cannot stand my landlord but they don’t mind pets at all. I’ll DM you. Not sure if they have properties in providence but maybe something will help.

Edit: I have actually had a LARGE aggressive dog before (crossed the rainbow bridge after 13 glorious years of raising hell). I found landlords didn’t mind pit bulls so much as the minded irresponsible dog owners. I would recommend letting any potential landlord know how long the dog would be left unattended, if you have pet sitters, dog walkers, pet insurance, crating, etc. if you make sure they know they don’t need to worry about you, they won’t worry about you. Be proactive! Your bb is a wicked cutie.

Omg.

Haha forgot the /s 😂

That would be amazing!

I wish this was live streamed!

Exactly this.

I love how you post literally every crime in Providence but also defend this old fuck? What’s wrong with us? What the heck is wrong with you?

It feels like a big defeat to have to move back in with family or crash with friends but if that’s an option, take it. There is no shame in that game anymore. It’s all survival now.

Shady out of of state landlords 😮‍💨🤮

Yep. I have been through small claims with a landlord before (because of course I have lol). The more documentation the better. 10/10 do recommend. I didn’t have an attorney, just my emails, messages, photos. This was for a landlord who kept 3k in deposits to renovate the place when we moved out to prepare it for sale lol we got some back, but not everything. Filing fees were minimal. Might not be a bad idea to start that process, actually. Would be even more apparent if the landlord tried to do anything retaliatory after that.

Oh god I feel you. I’m sorry this is your first experience renting.

Document everything. Retaliation is still illegal, though you may have trouble proving it’s retaliation and not “market increases” 🤮

This is becoming so common here. There are protections where heat is required, but as you’re experiencing, good luck enforcing it. I’d look into the escrow account as another commenter suggested, but if I were you I would start looking for a new place to rent and break your lease. If the landlord is like this, imagine the rent increase they will try to throw at you come renewal when they actually have had to make repairs. (They can raise it to any price for any reason come release renewal. And boy do they).

Best of luck. We have been writing to state reps trying to get some movement for more tenant protections. There was also a tenant protest on Tuesday by the state house. We really need to start getting loud. We can afford $1700 rent - imagine the people who can’t and are facing these landlords. It’s disgusting.

Correlation does not imply causation.

This is incredible and I have been searching for this movement in Rhode Island. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, yes, yes! I love Dr. Young so much!
