Just found out that my landlord has registered my apartment as rent controlled under a different leaser for the past 3 years I’ve lived there. I’m currently on a covid deal (-%33 of what I was originally paying) and would love to switch to rent stabilized at the same rate. Will I have to go back to the prior rate or keep my current lease? Anyone ever dealt with switching from rent controlled to rent stabilized before?

Wait wait. You’re in a rent controlled? Those are super rare in NYC. And would never give one up

How did you find out how he registered it? If you didn’t already, you can get the rent stabilization history of your apartment from the city - they will mail it to you. Rent control is only for tenants who have lived in the apartment since 1971, it’s a different program from rent stabilization. You can’t get rent control unless you personally have lived in the apartment for the past 50 years, but if it was rent controlled for the tenant who lived there right before you, there are rules about what your rent should be.

If it’s rent stabilized/rent regulated, they cannot raise your rent more than 2-3% per year, or whatever the city board sets for that year (usually that range or lower). It moves out of rent stabilization if the landlord makes significant renovations, like overhauling the kitchen or bathroom (a paint/tile job does not qualify) between tenants. It then moves to market rate.

For rent controlled, it has to stay with someone listed on the lease or their direct family member (such as a child who would have been residing there when their parents were on the lease) without interruption.

Folks, why is this Boston Bowl so quiet (relatively speaking)? Is our community so small that we think there’s no anonymity to our posts? Are we so busy juggling (with Covid making it worse) that there’s no time for this? Or are we blissfully happy so not much to question or comment on? I learn much from the conversations in other Bowls and think Boston wisdom would be good to read too.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.
