I have a secret eviction

[StopTheMorans]

yes, i have an eviction that i've lied about many times on rental forms since it occurred 5 years ago. i was in college, and our new landlord promised us verbally that he would fix a lot of things as soon as we moved in (i was too damn naive to ask for everything in writing). so, we moved in, he never fixed anything, i withheld my security (not my rent tho), and he evicted me (let's just say that he received a little karmic payback shortly thereafter;)

1. Well, it hasn't stopped you from getting other apartments

so that's good. :-)

3. It's really dificult to evict someone in Mass.

I should know-I'm a landlord. If you make decent money, you should try to buy a condo while the interest rates are low. There are lots of slumlords that take advantage of young people and students in Boston.

4. i've thought about buying, but i'm pretty certain that i'm gonna go back

to school in the next year and a half, so i don't know that it would make much sense :shrug:

5. What are you going back to school for?

6. don't know where I'm applying yet (depends on how well I do on the test)

but I'm taking the LSAT in Feb. Score will determine where (and if) I go.
