Red flags based their writing style?! That’s such a weird conclusion to come to since this post was well written and provided all the details needed to understand the situation. I mean, this person is flustered and still used correct grammar unlike you who didn’t even bother to capitalize your “i”.

Does it have to be in providence? Im in a triple decker in Attleboro, the third floor is empty and renovated and the first floors eviction goes through in 2 weeks. It’s close to the commuter rail and highway. I commuted to college in prov from here very easily. Landlord lists “no pets” but I was able to move in with 2 cats because I wrote a nice email saying they’re good kitties. The units aren’t posted as available but they are empty/soon to be empty and he will take my recommendation if you’re interested. Best of luck.

I know this sounds crazy but have you considered staying in a hotel for the immediate future? You can often negotiate pay if you stay for a while (I’ve had to do this for work travel and a lot of places have worked with me, some not though it really just depends). It could fit in your budget for the short term if you need to be out right now for peace of mind.

Do you know how many people would consider themselves lucky to be in your situation because they don't have any housing at all? You sound like a spoiled trust fund brat. It's not possible to be harmed by Street crime in Providence unless you're an absolute God damn idiot who's doing shit they're not supposed to be doing. Most of the aggressive crackheads in Rhode Island live in Pawtucket and even then if you stay away from the public parks you'll be fine. With the governor sending cops to beat the shit out of homeless people near the State House, you have no right to call your situation an "emergency." You want to see some hoodrat shit? Head to the deep South where I grew up. Everybody's fucked up on bath salts and lean and God knows what else. I know at least five people who have OD on lean alone and I never hear about people taking that shit up here.

shoveling snow, raking leaves - you won't have the energy or time to do it once you move in. personally, i have some red flags about you as a tenant based on your writing style, but it might that you have like PTSD from being a victim of a crime and living next to disruptive aggressive loud people in an unsafe area.

I currently live here and it’s not great at all. The trash situation is a nightmare and maintenance doesn’t care about issues. Had a flood this past weekend. Ac broke for three weeks in July without any concern. Dog waste receptacles are removed and over flowing. My apartment area has not lights that work so it’s pith black dark.

I can’t wait to move they keep jacking up the rent too

Why should it be forbidden? It's just their own choice to protect themselves... I wear one when I feel not good when working. Especially the KF94 of Puremate cuz I think it's mostly protective and comfortable. I used to wear Dr.Puri but it sucks tho

I had a similar experience sitting in Providence. Waterplace park, broad daylight. Some crackhead losers "Give me your phone. Give me your money" Upset I didn't have cash, who carries cash these days? Especially around shit hole Providence. City is garbage. I avoid now at all costs.

That commercial is a national campaign. She isn’t local. The accent the actors are doing is mimicking old film noir detective movies, not the Rhode Island accent. They use that ad all over the country. That’s why every time they say the dealership name the words are slightly spaced out. They edit together the dealer name from a list of recorded phrases.

Your landlord can and absolutely should evict them. He should be resolving this for you. They have damaged property and are threatening your safety. Him being powerless is bullshit.

Until you find another place, stop engaging with them. Don't knock, don't talk to them, don't text them. You know it doesn't get them to stop what they're doing, so it's no use anyway. The landlord and the cops are your go between. Sometimes neighbors who get along well can resolve things amongst themselves but much of the time you end up with stuff like this. Block them and avoid them.

Good luck. Hopefully these leads pan out for you.
