I'm looking to rent a house in Lakewood for a few days in mid January. Minimum 5 bedrooms, as close as possible to Central Court area would be best.

Please pm if you know of anything. Thanks.
I think the house across from the central court shul is rented out by one of these rental companies. Not sure what their name is and how to reach them though.

Could be, I haven't gone there in quite a while.

Remember Ambit? Same idea.

Be very wary of switching your energy supplier unless you understand what you're doing. It can cost you way more than the $150 in the long run, and maybe even in the short run.

I assume you were contacted by a friend who signed up for an MLM type job.
First check that the rate they are offering is in fact lower than JCPL and then make sure he will stay on top of the rates upon renewal.
Lastly, Google the company name to see if they have been scamming customers by getting them in on a 12 month contract at a low rate and then jacking it up beyond it.

What are the odds that the friend who enrolled in the MLM will still be involved in a year?
You don't need to google. that. the answer is yes about EVERY SINGLE RESIDENTIAL COMPANY.

I signed up with NRG Home energy for electric (not gas, because of gas credits), about a year ago with United Mileage Plan sign up bonus (12k, plus 3 times UMP a dollar with the CC), on a 3 month promotional rate and I call up every 3 months to sign up with the 3 month plan. It is by far the cheapest. The longer term options are more expensive, but the promotional 3 month term is great. You just have to make sure to renew it at the right time, so you don't pay their variable rate.

If you don't know exactly what you're doing it can cost you way more than you can ever save.
