I've never, ever had this happen to me & seems like the most petty landlord shit ever to me.

Are they doing all the other stuff by the book, like storing it in an interest bearing account at a bank they tell you? Do you get the interest either yearly by check or a report on the amount? Many to most don't, bringing up these as questions may show you know your legal rights better than they think.
They can ask, but it's a bit weird to "top off" your deposit every year when they raise the rent. I've never once had that happen across many years of renting, big & small outfits.

One of the pandemic delivery companies had those kits for awhile, they're pretty good. Wish there was a local vendor for them.

And the JC target had fully setup their seasonal christmas section prior to Halloween. Post pandemic everyone's just doing whatever the hell they want, it's dogs marrying cats out there

Yeah, superstorm Hurricane Upsilon really helped expose the shoddy workmanship & I'm glad most of them were damaged beyond repair. At least it made room for more micro-units which I hear are supposed to maybe keep rent maybe down?

Reply to Where to buy caviar? by teamvella
The year is 2045. 99 Hudson Street & the Goldman building are now the shortest buildings in Jersey City's costal skyline, long ago replaced by the Megabutress heavy-large skyscrapers constructed to hold back the rising seas & prevent more flooding like Hurricane Upsilon had.
In one of those small, dark windows a screen turns on shattering the darkness. A reddit user is hunched over the terminal, logging in to R/JerseyCity to ask their question, the ONLY question anyone in town discusses after Tacos were outlawed to thwart immigration by that douche of a president years ago.: "Hey all, where can I get the most AUTHENTIC Caviar that is also affordable? The prices in this town are out of control! I remember when I moved here and..."
Out in the acid rain, wearing a cloak made out of old vinyl "NOW RENTING!" banner, sits another figure under the hyperloop-stop awning. U/jasonleeobrien looks up with old, glassy eyes and feels in his soul what is happening up in the tower. With a coarse croaking voice, the kind filled with the regret of unrecognized foresight & insight befitting of a Socrates allowed to grow old, he lets out in a belabored sigh: "LUXUR...."

It's 2024. The Goldman interns breath deeply in their new apartments, inhaling the smugness of 'saving so much by living in New Jersey'. The faucet leaks. The closet is not level. Expensive marble rises on all flat surfaces like the sea in climate change. They pull up r/jerseycity.
"HEY GUYS WHERE ARE THE TACOS, ALSO WHATS THAT BANGING NOISE HOW DARE THEY BUILD A NEW TOWER, ALSO WHERE CAN I FIND PARKIN....."
The circle completes itself and begins anew. LUXURY

First off, I dunno whatever fly over bullshit state you’re from but- we know how to drive here it’s everyone else is the problem. Bada bing print that on a point pleasant tee shirt, forgetta bout it!
Also many of our highways are designed like shit due to space constraints and historical reasons (shits older here, like before cars some shit made more sense). If you live here now, do your best to pressure local, county, and state representatives for change (as often jurisdictions are a morass of overlap)
Stay out of the left lane, make fun of PA drivers for not doing that, and make fun of the NYC drivers for being the ‘crazy ones’. Hail Mary full of grace, Taylor ham, amen

Welcome. Our all purpose flour in the north is different than the south's, that's why your biscuits don't work. (you'll find out soon enough, if applicable to you). Try a talyor ham/egg/cheese sandwich; Sam AM & SCRAM both have owners with southern roots that influence the menus.
The shoprite in JC is the worst shoprite. Knowing that going in is power.
You can lightrail/drive to the hoboken shoprite or Trader Joe's.
There is a Whole Foods dropping in sometime in the next decade by St Peters. P&K is a good green grocer, sometimes Target has good grocery deals. 99 Ranch can work for many things & is walkable.
I do most of my shopping in the suburbs for the best price & selection, so if you have a car this may be a way to go depending on your needs.

People do 88MPH all the time down Grand or Newark, easy! Just set up some sort of train cow catcher so the pedestrians don't slow you down

Yes I'm a full grow adult mildly disappointed over not getting a sticker, I don't know what's wrong with me or the world either.

Cheap or good value properties? Step one, you're going to need a DeLorean and some plutonium. I don't care how you get them to start.

Any reports on "I VOTED" food & drink specials? It's the real hot button issue I care about.
Also normalizing that Election Day should be a national holiday, but positive early voting experiences/expansions help with that (and maybe should replace The One Singular Day).
