That’s still a thing in Montreal.
Welcome to Boston on Sept 1st
So weird that you couldn’t have a lease end in another month.
We have it in NZ for agricultural jobs, where the moving day is 1 June.
What if you’d only just moved into a place in April
In Montreal we still do this. In July.
There is a great dollop on this
Wasn’t this the inspiration for *The Purge*?
This would make a great doctor who episode.
