Landlord retaliation for tenant demanding local COVID-19 emergency orders are followed
What you're writing might be true for the entire state. Rents in Boston and Cambridge are a different story.- alexander468

Landlord retaliation for tenant demanding local COVID-19 emergency orders are followed
OK. Your view seems to be growing more clear. If the landlord had sent an email stating explicitly in writing that he was refusing to rent to me again out of retribution for me demanding that local COVID-19 emergency orders be followed, perhaps you might consider that to be landlord...- alexander468

OK. Your view is that I signed a lease and the lease is on me no matter what.

Landlord retaliation for tenant demanding local COVID-19 emergency orders are followed
Yes, landlords in a general sense are under no obligation to rent to particular people. However, anti-retaliatory laws state that landlords are under that obligation sometimes and even under an obligation to compensate for moving costs or months of rent to particular people in certain...- alexander468

Landlord retaliation for tenant demanding local COVID-19 emergency orders are followed
Thank you for your reply. If I had not terminated my lease, my problem would be my ensuing obligation to pay 4% more for a room now worth maybe about 10% less in the post-COVID market. Terminating my lease was the only solution available to me for that problem. Doesn't landlord retaliation...- alexander468

Landlord retaliation for tenant demanding local COVID-19 emergency orders are followed
Thanks for your reply. I am using the word "demand" in the sense of "If you don't do A, I will do B." This is shown in the sentence earlier in my post: "On May 1, 2021, I wrote to the landlord demanding that the 4% rent increase be waived or I would terminate the lease." I am using the word...- alexander468

State: MA Lease termination events: I moved into a room in an apartment with a shared entry and shared common areas in Cambridge MA on May 1, 2020 on a separate lease for the room in my name only. The lease runs until August 31, 2021. The lease is self-renewing with an automatic 4% rent...- alexander468

Overstaying a lease: Does a Notice To Quit and/or Vacate need to be given when a lease terminates?
What is the name of your state? Massachusetts I've lived in the same apartment for 11 years. When my lease terminated in previous years, sometimes the landlord had a new lease set up in time and sometimes the landlord accepted rent for a few months under a tenancy at will before I received a...- alexander468

Eviction
The answer to "She can't do this legally can she?" is "If you've received a Notice to Quit and the time has expired, yes she can. If you haven't received a Notice to Quit then no she can't." But I understand that actual assistance of other people with facutally complete statements is the...- alexander468

Is the landlord neglecting a duty to mitigate damages?
Thanks for your answer. I never meant to argue that my landlord has prevented me from paying my rent. I did mean to argue that I attempted to take an action that would permit me to pay my rent, and the landlord's behavior served to halt that process.- alexander468

Is the landlord neglecting a duty to mitigate damages?
I don't recall expressing those wants. My view was that I caused damage to the landlord, and then my attempts to decrease the damage were thwarted by the landlord. That's why I asked about damage mitigation doctrine.- alexander468

Is the landlord neglecting a duty to mitigate damages?
This seems to be a separate issue, but I believe the landlord is in compliance (interest bearing escrow account, notification of new balance and option to withdraw interest with every new lease, etc.) That seems more relevant, and I understand it's something I should be discussing offline...- alexander468

Got it. You've explained the situation in the landord's eyes.

Is the landlord neglecting a duty to mitigate damages?
Where did you read that I've been teetering on the brink of total insolvency for at least 8 years? After I was laid off, I started a business that grew until I'd nearly recovered the same income as when I had a full time job. Then the business shrank and other things happened that are too dull...- alexander468

Thanks for your answer. Is it your view that, because I violated the lease first in my favor, it is a legal tactic for the LL to make consent for a roommate depend on a lease violation in his favor?- alexander468
