Same happened to me with a house I owned when we replaced the roof. Things I had in the unfinished attic were mostly in boxes, but the dust was easy to remove on most items. Hopefully that’s true for you too.

I’d show your landlord, do your best to clean it all, then if any items need extra cleaning, talk about the bill for those. Of course, you’ll also want to know if you had permission to store items in the attic. I’m assuming your landlord knew about it, but if use of the attic isn’t explicitly part of your lease, you may have trouble demanding anything.

Hopefully it’s not a big deal in the end!

Let me get this straight. Someone making $1.1 million per year is going to leave their home and move to another state, potentially hundreds of miles away, because they’ll be taxed an extra $4,000 per year? That’s about 1 day of wages, or the equivalent of an annual increase of $120 (or $10/month) to someone making MA’s $15/hour minimum wage. Which would be (and has been) a much more painful increase.

Of course, for higher earners, the pain of this increase is even less, as they’re clearing more income.

The existence of people making millions per year while so many are struggling is immoral. Contributing one day of wages if you make more than $1 million per year is, frankly, not enough. But it’s a start, and no one who actually wants to live here or do business here would ever move away because of it.
