I have never been charged for an application on any rental,is this a fairly new practice?

There are different weather patterns about in different areas for sure ,it's not all one place

No doubts for sure ,it's very fake here in the Berkshire but from the Connecticut river inbetween the Hudson is a different weather pattern than the CT river to the coast.

I don't doubt your getting more snow,actually Boston gets more snow per season than Toronto CA

Oh ok gotcha I'm in the Berkshires,I left the valley in 04' I used to drive 202 all the time to get booze on Sundays in Athol I liked hiking the Quabbin to along with Wendell state forest

Yea ,although I never tried ,always got the ice cream ,should have tried the sandwiches

Is the NS general store still open ,have not driven by in some time ?

Would you take western or southern Worcester county or do you need to be very close to the city of Worcester

Where in Mass are you for one??

I have found good apartments on Craiglist but that was years ago I don't know if it's still good but won't hurt to check.I found the apartment i'm in now on CL ,that was 7 years ago

That is true but it does give one the chance to not have being fired on there resume However to get unemployment after being fired anyway one must prove at a hearing your firing was wrongful,just being fired is not an entitlement to unemployment

The NS general store has great ice cream!!

As far as I know registration has always been two years in Massachusetts

I know background check are different from references ,I was simply pointing out they can't CORI you without permission to make a point.

Every job application I've seen asks if they may contact past employers and you must give written permission for any CORI checks but of coarse if you don't agree to a CORI they obviously will never hire.

THe same is true ,they may not hire you if you don't allow them to contact past employers but I don't think they may do it without your permission.

An employer can say whatever they like I know of no law restricting what an employer may say on a reference.

Some employers will choose not say you were terminated as not to hurt you but they can be as honest as they like.

That is why the scenerio is so common where a boss will confront an employee who has made a serious error and says:"resign or be fired" ,so the employee does not have to admitt being fired if asked in the future if he resigned.Almost all employers give the option to resign at higher level jobs,at low level blue collar jobs that option is often not given.

There is no guarantee what an employers will tell your future boss,you might want to use a different reference than that one.

I believe on thing that is true is that future employers can not contact a past employer without your permission unless you give them as a reference,so don't choose references that fired you because otherwise they can't contact past employers

They blew it a few times but won in 11'

Why ,New England has ruled sports for 20 years The 86 series was a long time ago

Older times,I don't know man ,plus I'm from an obscure part of New England and have not travelled much or seen much of the rest of the US.

A bunch of silly stereotypes,don't think much of it

If you are looking for historical validation I'd have no idea how to help you.If you're looking legal validation,like ie... is the house safe,mold free,a solid structure and legally safe for human inhabitation.Any inspector can make that judgement whether a brand new house or a medieval castle.

Before the state legalized it

How so,you mean like all the illegal grows in the forest.

I had a friend who was walking in Wendell state forest some years ago and found a canabis patch but was confronted by a man with a rifle wearing camoflage.

I'm not from metro Boston but drugs are regulated by the state and federal government and not by municipality.

So no ,here is an article very recent about the possibility of certain hallucinogens being legal soon but not now.Municipalities can't make there own drug laws.35 years ago the town of Wendell made pot legal and the state right away said no way.
