I know this is in NH, but at hampton beach there was a hotel with a legit jacuzzi pool I went to a long time ago. I cant remember the name for the life of me, but if it still exists I am going there on the 4th of July to enjoy that and the spectacle they have at the beach at night.

The only two really major sources of bad air (outside of cars) that come to mind are the wheelabrator plant and the water treatment plant, both are along route 20 on the southern border of the city.

The OP isn't talking about your parents then. An $80/mo increase in cost does not justify a $300/mo increase in rent.

My first apartment was a 3 bedroom on Washington street between Kelley Square and Crompton park, for $845/month that I shared with two other roommates. That was in 2010. Now I pay more than that for a 350 square foot studio and my rent is still on the low end of the spectrum.

I'm in a studio, and a small one even considering that. Was $950 in 2020, $980 for 2021 and 2022. Going up now to $1100 for this next year. No amenities included in the rent, either. I can just barely afford it, thanks to not having any debt, but I'm inches away from being homeless on any a good day. I only make 45k a year.

Omg I live close to Sturbridge. Definitely gonna check in that one. Thank you

Yup and then if they cant find a tenant the landlords will then apply to make the apartments section 8. But to my knowledge they have no control over who the apartment gets rented to. Also heard horror stories from some on that wishing they had kept the good renters.

Jesus Christ. I went to the one out on the Cape back in like 1992 and all we did was tromp around gathering tadpoles and crabs in the marshes and sing 'Let It Be' around a campfire.

gambling on tenants that don't/barely exist while making your current tenants homeless. American dream.

I rent a 3 bedroom off of Vernon St for $1700. My landlord is a normal guy who just wanted a good person renting from him. I find this pretty good considering where I’m from on the north shore the average going rate was $2200-2400 for a one bedroom, no utilities, no pets.

the factories are pretty much on the outer side of town (i think the south area but dont quote me). im not aware of any industry buildings near the center of town. Definitely try to steer away from the campus areas. The streets with lots of student residents have the most trash in the street. id recommend using google street view and if the neighborhood has lots of trees its probably a nicer part of town.

I paid water/sewer and utilities in my apartments so idk what kind of excuse that is. Tax and insurance don’t equate to the increased people are seeing.

That porch floor needs paint 🎨

Where’s the bread from?

Gentrification is massive issue in the city. My company has lost employees who have been unable to find affordable housing. I am currently also in the same boat. Even if you are shown to be a great long term renter most landlords right now are willing to take a risk and double or triple prices. They are gambling on getting people from Boston area willing to commute. But I know first hand this is not working out. In the end many apartments are sitting vacant. Either way I heard that they are looking into passing new rent control laws. NPR says its a statewide issue geting worse. *EDIT write your local and state officials. Tell them how long you have been a renter and where you have lived. Most will actually read your letters. Let them know what is happening and we need action sooner than latter.

If I resigned my lease I’d be paying 1950 for a 1 bed 750 square foot

Agreed. Considering going back to my hometown a little more north because of this. 1600 for a one bedroom is more than I thought I’d have to pay two years ago.

If it’s not they’re yours now. 😬

Wahhhhhhhhh

Anyone have a one bedroom available for June? Hahaha leaving my place now because it’s overpriced for the amount of space and the walls are way too thin

Landlords need to be okay with making less profit.

Sounds about right for what I had off of Grafton Street about 25 years ago, factor in inflation. Up until recently our 2/3 bedroom on Lincoln was 800... Started at 500 back in 2002, went to 625 somewhere in the late 2000s of early 2010s...
