Reply to Landlords not providing recycling by babyb3ans

Where are you guys getting “it’s illegal not to provide recycling?” I worked in Property Management and Housing in RI from 2016-2022 and this is simply not true…

I’m laughing at the thought of a train station in Wayland Center… I mean I know there WAS one there… but those N. Wayland people are known for their NIMBY attitude

I was a huge fan of Anchor Therapy in Lincoln… they were doing telegraphy, but idk if they are still doing it

Edit: obviously I meant teletherapy… but I’m keeping it there cause it made me giggle!

Reply to Are there any apartment complexes that rent based on credit score rather than income verification? by ZeroKittyRose

All “income based rent” in RI is subsidized by HUD. There are very specific rules about how you are allowed select tenants and you are allowed to deny by credit score (it’s dumb… I’m aware…) however the rent would not be “based” on your credit score as those do not show what you can pay, but that you DO pay your bills.

The owner of this management company screwed over a disabled tenant we were trying to place in one of his units because they were impatient …. They also asked some REALLY shitty questions about the tenant because they assumed a LOT about a section 8 voucher holder…

Edit: phrasing

I lived in Woonsocket and Burriville. I know Woonsocket has a rough reputation but the Mayor ( well I guess she was just recently removed but is running unopposed so she will be sworn in again?!? RI politics are stupid…) has actually done a lot of good and is actually trying to help all the people who live there as opposed to just the rich white people.

I worked in downtown Providence, North Providence and on the East Side. The last 3 years I worked in human services trying house people all over the state. I spent SO MUCH TIME correcting government officials on laws and regulations and even their own math…

The housing crisis is going to get worse and if you’re planning on moving to RI be ready for a LOT of unhoused individuals around.

I’m going to get downvoted for this…

Don’t move to RI. I just left after being there for 8 years. The government is a joke and literally NOTHING is done to help those that live there. The entire state is one big social experiment to see if organized crime should be running governments.
