Initially designed by Quakers in Atlantic City with a focus on teaching about monopolies, the game evolved into its current form through Charles Darrow and Parker Brothers.

Dubbed Palazzo di Lago, the nearly 18,000-square-foot contemporary manse was designed with "the tranquil glamour of Lake Como" and the "seductive allure of Bond's Casino Royale," as the listing description puts it.

Attorney Richard Vetstein, of the Vetstein Law Group in Framingham said both landlords and tenants have responsibilities in maintaining a property. "A landlord has the obligation to comply with the sanitary code," he said. "The sanitary code is the floor. If conditions go beneath the floor, the landlord has to make repairs. Landlords aren't mind readers, though, either. They have to be told that there's a problem and they need a reasonable opportunity to correct it."

The FHFA's new proposal with public comments due by Nov. 5 outlines three strategic goals for what the agency informally calls U.S. Federal Housing: responsible oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for the American people; supervision of the Federal Home Loan Bank System; and efficient management of U.S. federal housing operations.
