Reply to comment by Due-Pickle8392 in Ban on College Students Living Together- March 29th 5:30PM by Due-Pickle8392
I live in a building with students and have no problems at all. concern is particular situations like I've seen first hand such as a landlord deciding to modify 2 bed apartments in to 3 or 4 bed apartments, and renting out the tiny rooms individually for insane money. maybe it's fair game but to me it's shady. Weather or not the tenants, student or not, are cool with it is not my concern.
Personally I feel limiting 3 per unit is asinine, and discrimination against students or marketing apartments only to students is wrong. Landlords will likely find ways around it anyway, though. That said, I feel there should be a square foot per person limit for the sake of safety and consumer protection which applies to all.

Na it's crazy, not well thought out and will drive the cost of renting up for everyone.
On the other hand I feel that this bill is trying to prevent packing apartments and exploitation of students by landlords. having too many people in a small space is a problem.

I had friends who lived in slater. They loved it , and I thought it was a quality unit. Expensive though but I think you get what you pay for.
I've considered living at what is now called Halsted, in one of the metro units. Personally I feel they are asking way way to much for the size but it is very nice and if you value the amenities it might be worth it for you.

Yup I get that. I was concerned about a nosey neighbor asking to see a permit. I'm hoping to get this done without anyone really noticing

Some college or?
I'm thinking,
Food Service, like bartending or server. Depending on where you go can be pretty lucrative.
Whole foods, I worked there years ago but it was pretty good. they pay more than the competition but I donno if it's still true.
Maybe you could work for one of the hospitals or schools? You got brown, risd, several private schools etc.
Me personally, I have some college and I work for the T and commute. Lots of opportunities in Boston if your interested in commuting

Yes , but try to get that in writing. It's common but not universal to have to pay something upfront. I hate that it's a thing but it's to ensure you are serious/ can afford to rent a place.

Reply to Car question: Just moved to Rhode Island and I need to get my license plate, registration, license and insurance ect all switched over. Where is the best place to start? RI DMV website isn’t very helpful. by Zealousideal-Draft63
How I got through it last month
1.Change address with insurance 2.vin check with local police dept. ( I went to the DMV first thinking the vin check was later, lucky Middletown pd checks regardless of residence) 3. DMV ,. Make an appointment , bring your title , proof of citizenship like a birth certificate or passport and 2 articles of mail to your address. You should be able to do both the license and the registration on the same appointment. 4. Get inspection within 5 days. If you don't they will suspend the registration after a few weeks. Ask me how I know. 5. I also got a letter explaining that I need to get my insurance company to send verification of insurance to the DMV. Have not done this yet but looks like they give you about 2 months to figure that out. Sounds like a pita if you have a shitty insurance company like I do.
