As a constable who has done evictions, you are understating it.
Should have used some of that to put a lock on the door... I can’t imagine trusting a bunch of Harvard room mates to not be nosy entitled jerks. Of course then they would bitch to the landlord about the lock and say they feared the worst!!! Can’t fight the mentally ill, and they sound it.wow, Harvard and $6k/month rent. Hopefully dad has enough money to make a point.
Breaking and Entering has more teethI'd be charging the roommates with trespassing and hire a lawyer.
Story still needs a credible source.The article didn't address this. However, Capt. Donovan of the Somerville Police Dept. inspected her firearm(s) and said that everything was legal.
P. S. Watch Harvard ban her from campus Because Guns in 3...2...1...Harvard student,
but she doesn't know what "CONCEALED" means.
Really? I have managed many commercial rental properties in Concord and Littleton (the FFL headquarters) for many years. When there is an issue, the landlord gets it up the ass. But I'm a big boy and can take it. Jack.
My first thought is she should go to the district court and file applications against each roommate that entered her room and charge them with B&E. Merely opening the closed bedroom door is considered "breaking".
Lemme guess .... you've never had any trouble with one of your FFL tenants but have with others.Really?

Employment and residential laws are quite different. For example, a landlord cannot get away with evicting someone for posting criticism of the landlord of social media, but an employer can fire someone for badmouthing the company.I didn’t say I agreed with it. If I rent a house or multi fam it can be spelled out in there “No firearms on property” that’s all it takes and that’s a fact. As for a business it’s the same. I have a companies I work for and some you can’t even have it in your car on their land. So that’s that
If they found it, was it in a Ma compliant locked container that they couldn't tell what was in it?
And it depends what's stated in the lease.
Section 131L. (a) It shall be unlawful to store or keep any firearm, rifle or shotgun including, but not limited to, large capacity weapons, or machine gun in any place unless such weapon is secured in a locked container or equipped with a tamper-resistant mechanical lock or other safety device, properly engaged so as to render such weapon inoperable by any person other than the owner or other lawfully authorized user. For purposes of this section, such weapon shall not be deemed stored or kept if carried by or under the control of the owner or other lawfully authorized user.

It also varies by state. In some states, possession of a firearm in your car on company property is protected.
Plus, the enforcement mechanisms are different. With employment, it is immediate and cheap for the company - your fired, leave the building now, we will mail your check. With landlords in MA, it's the start of a nightmare if the tenant drags it out to the point where you are using force (eviction being served) rather than persuasion, and it can take the better part of a year.

I wonder if she got a regular LTC based on her MA address or a temporary non-resident LTC.
Unfortunately is the landlords rules when You rent. Sucks but that’s how it works in the rental world.
You do not understand how Boston leases are generally written.
Each party agrees to "Joint and Several" liability. This means the landlord is free to go after any of the signatories for the full amount, with no obligation to even attempt to collect from other parties. There is also an almost universal requirement of a parental guarantee unless the student demonstrates income/assets sufficient to pay the lease in full (not just her share in a roommate situation).
Agency terms in Boston are "tenant pays fee", so almost all landlord use them. Professional agents are VERY good at writing leases that do not grant the tenant any rights or remedies not encoded in MGL and non-waivable.
Big difference. There is explicit legal protection for those who do not sexually identify in the traditional manner. Not so for gun owners.
Used to do that as well, usually nobody is happy to see you, but evictions were the worst. Also had my own run in with evicting a tenant, took over 6 months to get them out.
This is my concern. My landlords and my wife and I have a great relationship. We’ve been here 13 years without a rent increase and no lease signed since year 2. We’re free to come and go as we please. It’s symbiotic, in that they’re older and I do household chores to help ensure our rent stays the same. Gutter cleaning, shoveling, maintenance and upkeep of the apartment.
My concern is, now that I am a recent gun owner(they know I was applying an LTC) if they decide they don’t like me owning guns, can they just tell me to leave? Legally am I at their mercy? It’s an inlaw apartment on top of everything. So we share mailing address and they deliver my abnormally heavy TSUSA boxes along with everything else.
