Yes and honestly until I read this post I had no idea they were all over MA doing the same thing. I’d not seen another before.

Nevermind the number of trucks doing 90% of the wear and tear on the roads (that they won't be paying for). The amount of trash that they produce. And the possibility of things like drone drops in the future.
When we have plenty of jobs and not enough housing, it makes no sense. But the city council is always falling all over themselves thinking they will get Fortune 500 money in the coffers. They never do.

30 days unless otherwise stated and agreed to in your lease.

Unless your lease says something different, when your lease expires on August 1, your landlord can notify you within 30 days of August 1 that your lease will not be renewed or continued for month to month, and doesn't need to specify a reason.
I suspect your landlord is legally allowed to make this request. Definitely annoying though.

Reply to comment by leeann0923 in Mass Save Rebate--How long? by dailo01
Do you know what the qualifications are for the partial house rebate? Several of the contractors are telling me different things. One told me as long as I get a qualified mini split from the list, it should be fine. Another one said that I need a wired thermostat along with the mini split to be qualified for the partial house rebate. It's quite confusing. I called and email mass save and they are not answering. My luck.

Also a few minutes from the Worcester Distribution. On Grove St, there is an Amazon hiring center, and most of the jobs for that building were just posted a couple days ago.
And though I think building that warehouse was not the best use of the area, the mall needed to go. There were only like 2 stores left in it, and that building had problems from the moment it was first built.

My family has a Chevy bolt and a Honda fit, soon to be replaced with a mazda5.
We expect to have one gas car for the foreseeable future.
The EV is perfect for 90% of use, but useless for 10%.
Still a lot of free lv2 chargers in my area. We could/will charge entirely at home if they start trying to turn a profit. Free chargers are the only reason we don't already have solar.

Revere City Council is the saddest pair of people in charge of a city. One of them was a legitimate functioning drug addict who just recently died of an overdose - George Rotondo. Then you have the old racists like John Powers, the opportunist Jessica Giannino who turned her street in to a one-way so people wouldn’t drive on it, Anthony “immigrants breed like cockroaches” Zambuto… quote published in the Revere Journal for everyone to see. Fuck them all. The only reason they have a job is because the old townies vote for them like their life and identity depend on it
When Joe Gravellese challenged Jessica Giannino to a debate, he made an absolute fool of her. The city voted for her anyway. That’s Revere’s City Council.

You don't have to but don't be surprised if you're told your lease isn't being renewed if you wait till the last minute. You're not required to notify your landlord this far in advance by law but they're also not required to renew the lease, they'll just assume you're not renewing and find another tenant.

If the buildings are in an industrial or commercial zone, then zoning laws may tie local politicians hands.

Reading through this thread it seems there is something fishy going on. Probably a few things going on.

^This. Stop & Shop did this for years (90's - 00's) in eastern & central Mass towns to secure their empire. Smaller supermarket chains would close and they would buy out the leases and/or purchase the buildings.

Why would Revere offer Amazon tax incentives? And why is the council so excited to have Amazon "instead of residential housing"?

It’s wild to me that at the very least, car dealers don’t have charging stations. Even if it were just priced at break even it seems like a no-brainer.

As a central MA to western MA transplant the answer is Big Y. They are nice and clean stores and have good quality but nowhere near MB’s prices. Wish MB would come out this way.

Maybe. Or they over extended themselves and are trying to cut back expenses, which isn’t shady. Typically you budget based on projected revenue and profit, if those go down, you don’t have as much money anymore and you start canceling projects.

It feels like the language of your lease is relevant here. What does it say?

Reply to comment by DeliPaper in Can my landlord require notice by April 1 if I am moving out July 31? by BarryAllen85
This for eviction. I did a basic Google search but can’t find anything about written notice deadline from the tenant. I suppose if I let her know later than April 1, she has the option of just not offering me a new lease.

The state should make them return the property to its original state. I.e. movie theater or make it open space/parkland

Guido's for fresh stuff, any season. Bring that big Eastern Mass wallet.
Harry's is probably cheaper than Big Y/S&S.

Everyone in the state should be thankful Joe Petty lost that state senate primary. He's such a slimy buffoon.
