Man charged with renting out apartment he didn't own
Boston Police report that when officers went to 587 Beacon St. to evict a woman squatting in an apartment there, the woman said she'd just rented the place from the building owner, who gave her a key and everything.
According to the building manager, the person named by the victim as the owner of the building was, in fact, not the owner.
While officers were talking to the victim, the victim’s cell phone rang. The victim promptly stated to the officers that the call was from the suspect. Officers instructed the victim to set up a meeting with the suspect, during which the victim could pay the suspect the remainder of the money. As instructed, the victim asked the suspect to meet her in front of 587 Beacon Street. When the suspect showed up to claim his money, officers took the suspect into custody.
Officers then made sure that Nicholas Toledo, 23, had a place to stay for the weekend so that he could appear in court bright and early on Monday to answer a charge of fraud. This is not Mr. Toledo's first run-in with the police at that address. See the second item here.
Innocent, etc.

Same case
feeling sorry for the lady.
I remember the same thing once happened to me, but i could not do anything because i paid three months rent in advance.
The guy who rented me the house was obviously not the owner of the house. But strange thing was that all the neighbors knew the man and this is what gave me the impression that he owned the house.
There is no way to know if a guy is owner of the house or not if he hands over the keys of the house. One must deeply investigating his ownership, and by the way who cares to investigate that much.
Not sure if "deeply" is required
since you can just go to suffolkdeeds.com and see who owns the house. You can also see if there's any action to foreclose on it. You can also go to cityofboston.gov and see if they're current on their property taxes. (Ownership is shown on there too, but can be a few months behind).
Why WOULDN'T you check out how stable the owner is with keeping up obligations on a property before you rent it and move all your stuff there?

All info is available on Facebook if you look up "DJ Massive". This kid is unbelievable! Worst neighbor I've ever had.
so who owns this building?
i dont get it... how can this be happening for so long? Does someone own the building?? how can they have parties in there, and how do they have access to the building if they don't own it.
more info
He is renting another apartment in the same building. He seems to have been arrested for renting out another unit other than his own.
The owner of the building is George Chaletzky. I'm not sure who Stephen is -- his son maybe? Hearthstone Corp. is the management company for 587 Beacon. Stephen is mentioned on the second page of this article.

And yet another incident
From the BU Today crime log for Oct. 16-Nov. 1, 2008:
This is your brain on drugs
This stealing laptop or other valuables from a roommate of your host when there's only a few people (or only you) over, has always baffled me, even assuming no morals. In all cases, the host seemed to immediately or quickly know who took it.
back in the habit

WTF is going on at the DA's office?
But seriously, people have to wake the F up and stop sleep-walking; KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH BEFORE HANDING OVER $$$$$ !!!!!!!!
If I rented in that building ($$$$!) and had to put up with this shyte, building management better lock their doors, turn-off the phone and pretend no one's home because I'd harrass them MERCILESSLY....and if that didn't work.............
We're the Fagawi news station
Meanwhile, Boston's "local" news station, Fox 25, confuses Kenmore Square with the South End. Seriously.
