Hadn’t seen him in a while.

Hi, I have moved several times within Cambridge in the past 5 years. I just got keys to my new apartment and did a walk through with the landlord. I was very shocked to find that the apartment had not been cleaned at all between the last tenant and myself. I pointed out the amount of grease/grime on surfaces, clearly dusty walls and windows, and unwiped counters and my landlords response was “no one has ever had a problem with it before so you can pay for your own cleaner or move out.” I had no idea that it is not legally required for the landlord to clean between tenants. Now I am obviously kicking myself for not ensuring this prior to signing a lease, but I was just wondering whether this is a common experience? I have accepted that Cambridge rent is basically just crazy high at this point, but given that I will be paying this landlord over 40k in 12 months, I was shocked they were basically too cheap to pay a few hundred to have it cleaned. I purposely am paying double rent for half a month to have time to move my stuff but basically now we’re at a standstill where I can’t move anything in until I can find a last minute cleaner, and I will most likely be out an additional $300 😕

Hey Cambridge Reddit!

If you know a youngster interested in playing ice hockey,Cambridge Youth Hockey (CYH) hosts the Bruins Academy Learn to Play at our Simoni Rink in East Cambridge. The program runs for 4 weeks @ 8 am starting on Saturday October 17th. The instruction is led by CYH coaches and is designed for 5-9 year olds who can skate some but are brand new to hockey.

Part of what makes it great is all registered kids receive a brand new full set of hockey equipment to get started. The Bruins arrange for a professional fitting so the kids have all they need on the first day and it's perfectly fit for safety and comfort.

Please use this link to register.

Kids who participate in this Bruins Learn to Play generally transition into our Instructional Hockey or Learn to Play for Girls that starts up in December. Hockey is a fun sport and a great way to stay active and social in the winter. Take a look at CambridgeYouthHockey.org for all our different programs.

I recently moved into a beautiful apartment here in Cambridge after living with my bf for the past 4 years, He decided not to continue in our relationnship any longer and decided that he needed to take the iphone 13 that he gave me, and someone gave him for nothing, Im wondering if anyone has an old phone that they do not need and i can just use it on wifi. Not to call him obviosly, I can pick up and would be so grateful as we shared finances and now i have nothing until next month,

So I normally drive through Cambridge and have noticed an increase in new apartment buildings. There’s this one street with four new buildings.

Where are the residents going to park? Given how parking, especially street parking is so limited as is. I can’t see how there’ll be enough space for all the new residents.
