| Tenant/Neighbor Sleeping On Fire Escape Posted: 17 May 2020 06:41 AM PDT Our apartment building in Philadelphia has a shared fire escape for tenants on the floor and our next door neighbor has been sleeping out there on a sofa that blocks the door to the fire tower. This morning I tried to talk to her and explain that it's a fire hazard, but she got very defensive saying she would not move unless management or police physically removed her, and to leave her the F alone. She was using a book to hold the door open and I knocked it in out of frustration, and she came out behind me threatening to attack me, call the police, and sue me. I apologized for my actions but she did not back down and started yelling in my face (without a face mask mind you). She regularly smokes pot out there and is a general nuisance on our floor with loud music and a yippy, untrained dog, and has roommates that are likely not on her lease, but she seemed confident (and generally unstable). I called management to inform them of the issue, does she have any legal grounds here? Update: thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I emailed management with a follow up email with a pic of the sofa blocking the door and details of the incident, as well as called it in to the fire marshal to be inspected. It has not yet been removed, about 8 hours later, but I suspect I will be getting a call from the building office tomorrow. For those wondering why I was here if I wasn't considering calling the cops, I specified above asking whether or not she had any legal grounds for her threats of suing. I imagine it was because she was getting defensive and knew she was in the wrong, but I didn't want to escalate the situation with police especially given she has shown clear signs of being unstable and her friends enabling her irrational behavior. I just wanted to make sure that knocking in the book didn't have some legal implications of harassment or assault, even though it didnt go near her or touch her. She mentioned being pregnant (not sure if true) and that I caused "undue stress to [her] baby" by asking her to leave, so I started to think that I was in the wrong by even bringing it up. Again, much appreciated to everyone for your help and even those who shit on me, you're all great but ffs please read the prompt of why OP is posting before going crazy. Idt a single person has addressed my question of whether I could be sued for my behavior. [link] [comments] |
| 14-year-old states she will refuse to move with us Posted: 17 May 2020 11:11 AM PDT This is in Canada. So we're a military family. We are forced to move every few years. It really sucks, and it's brutally hard on the kids. But that's the job, and we can't afford to just quit our jobs because the 14-year-old is unhappy. We'll be moving at the end of the summer. She has a boyfriend here that she's very close with, and she has thrown several ragers now, declaring that she will not be going with us. "I won't get in the car, you can't make me" etc etc. Apparently, she asked her boyfriend's mom to take her in, and this woman said yes. So now it is her intention to stay with them. Obviously this is not an option. What can we do here? What if she actually does refuse to get in the car, or on the plane? What if she goes to her boyfriend's house and hides there? Edit: she "would rather go into the foster care system" than move. I'd love for her to get that kind of reality check... that can't be done, can it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 May 2020 10:27 AM PDT One of my friends works in retail, and his general manager has told him that if he doesn't find a new place to live within 2 weeks and spend another 2 weeks quarantined he will be fired because his roommate is a respiratory nurse. He has the opportunity to be re-hired but not at the same position (and ostensibly not at the same pay. He's a store manager and a key-holder.) He said the general manager asked him a series of questions seemingly at random, not indicating that they'd be used against him. Is this even legal? Or is there anything he can do? For what it's worth, he didn't spend lock down with his roommate, he sheltered in place with other friends (none of whom work in the health field). This is in Ohio, I read the re-opening order but it doesn't say anything about quarantining because of roommates. edit: He was just informed that he'd lose the COVID unemployment if he didn't move because he's choosing not to work.

| My parents are getting sued for not being handicap accessible. Posted: 17 May 2020 11:06 AM PDT 3 years ago my parents acquired a gas station in the state of California. For the most part it was going smoothly, when one day a gentleman came to our gas station to use our Bitcoin machine. He entered, talked up the cashier and left. Seemed like a normal customer. Well a couple months later, we are getting sued by him because of a small step we have in front of our store, saying we made it intentionally hard for him and are discriminating against him. His lawyer and he were suing for $2 million but said they were willing to settle for $13,000. Our lawyer said that this a unfortunately a very common practice and that this would be a very hard case to beat. In the State of California, we would be in the wrong and that if we questioned his disability, we would need to prove he was not disabled, which is also very hard to do. Our landlord has already lawyered up himself and said it's our responsibility and we have to deal with it ourself. I find it unfair, because we bought the gas station exactly as is, yet we are liable for all of this. Is there anyway to fight this or do we just have to settle for that 13k deal? Side note, our lawyer has told us the lawyer that we are up against is known for looking for businesses that breaks some type of code and attacking them. Any advice would be appreciated.

| Posted: 17 May 2020 10:16 AM PDT My mom's manager forces my mom and her coworkers into "Team Building Exercises" that aren't really necessary (they work in Home Health, which is basically house-to-house nursing. My mom is a RN.) She requires her workers to purchase certain things for the events. For example, for Halloween, everyone had to buy their own pumpkin to decorate for a contest. Every week (on the day that used to be my mom/stepdad's date night!) the manager forces my mom and her coworkers to attend social meetings, during time that my mom needs to do her charting for work. My mom is now being paid on a per-appointment basis. She's not being paid for the hours upon hours of charting that she does, even though it's a necessary part of the job. A few weeks ago, my mom's manager required that everyone make some sort of bakery project, so my mom made an apple pie (with ingredients she bought herself, of course) and then found out that she had to wear a silly hat during the meeting for some reason or it wouldn't count. So we had to dig through the garage to find one for her. Two weeks ago she was supposed to go to a yoga event, but my mom is in really poor health and with her arthritis, wouldn't be able to participate. She got chewed out by her manager for not going. Last week she was supposed to make a loaf of sourdough bread, but she forgot. The next day the manager sent her the recipe and wouldn't leave my mom alone about it. So my mom scoured the grocery stores for the special flour she needed, and by some miracle she found the last one on the shelf. Well, last night at about 1:30 AM my little brother got up to make pancakes. (He's been depressed because he doesn't get to have a prom or high school graduation ceremony due to the pandemic.) And of course, he used the flour that my mom was barely able to find. This morning, when she found out, she had an emotional breakdown because she's now worried she's going to lose her job. Over bread. Has my mom's manager crossed any legal boundaries, and if so, what can we do about it? (Napa, CA, USA) [link] [comments] |
| Is CPS allowed to deny visits that the court granted? Posted: 17 May 2020 03:14 PM PDT I was granted visitation with my son once a week. The first two weeks I showed up and the worker said they were cancelled due to Corona Virus. After that my worker says they need the courts to fix the date on some paperwork for me to get my visits. The courts are closed due to Corona. Now everytime I call she says she will talk to her Supervisor. It's been almost 4 months and I haven't had any contact with my 7 year old. Are they able to do this? Are my rights being violated? Also, I live in California. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 May 2020 07:00 PM PDT I'm 15, and in dire need of leaving asap . I was planning on moving when I turn 18 ( though I'll still have a year of highschool to finish ). I will be a legal adult at 18 but my aunt ( who adopted me ) keeps saying that I 'Cant leave til I finish high school" and "DFS says I have full rights over you till your 21 " this statement doesn't make sense and sounds like nonsense. I asked To see that on paper and she can't produce it . This is in Missouri . TL;DR: My adoptive mother is saying even though I'll be 18 that I still don't have legal rights over myself and can't leave , is this true for former foster kids in Missouri Edit: thanks for all the advice . I want to add that while I'm.not physically abused I am in a very toxic unhealthy situation that isn't a good environment for someone with the issues I have. Alongside that they won't accept the issues I had been medically diagnosed with and refuse to get me help. My family does get paid for me , I didn't know it was suppose to go towards medical / dental as we get all that for free due to medicare ? So I wonder where the money going lol. Thanks again Edit 2: Thanks for the gold [link] [comments] |
| 8yr old niece is not being supervised and forced to take care of her 3 yr gold sister. Posted: 17 May 2020 02:45 PM PDT So basically some back story my sister (30) has 2 other kids (12; twins) that she has no relationship with as she walked out when they were 3 for another guy and ended up pregnant with my niece (8). At this point she was able to see the twins on weekends but her boyfriend (J) she was with was a drug dealer and had a drug raid in the house which they found coke, she was only allowed supervised visits which happened 3x a year max now she hasn't seen them in over a year. When she was with K she had no job, she lived in an old motel that was a motel that was so gross none of us would even go in. My niece was constantly dirty and we had tried multiple times to get her jobs, assistance etc but never would because it would require effort which she wasn't willing to put in. Her and J broke up a few years later and she met her current boyfriend (K) and had my niece (3). Their relationship is like walking on eggshells in the last year alone they have broken up at least 3-4x, when I do have my niece she tells me about the fights they have and on top of that she sends them to my house in dirty clothes and car seats forcing me to buy them new clothes when they come to my house and try and deep clean the current clothes they're in because they are that bad. Her school has bought them clothes and winter jackets as well because again she sends them in dirty clothing. Her apartment she lives in now is 1 bedroom, the few times I have been there to pick up my nieces the apartment is disgusting, I wish I was being dramatic when I say how gross it is. So imagine a 500sq ft apartment that has 1 bedroom for 2 adults and 2 children. Lately my niece has been FaceTiming me like crazy in the mornings 7-9am because my sister is sleeping (even sometimes during the day) and no one else is home to watch them (7 & 3 years old) so my older niece has been taking care of her while she sleeps, she has called 911 as well not sure if it was on accident or a cry for help on her situation because it's clear she is neglected. My family would like to report her to CPS at this point because the situation my nieces are in is awful if we did and they removed the children from the home would they go straight to foster care or would they give family a chance to take her in?

| Posted: 17 May 2020 07:47 PM PDT I am 60 and my wife is 55. We have been married 21 years and have a 20 year old daughter. We live in GA. My wife is mentally and physically abusive and is addicted to cigarettes and is an alcoholic. We have tried getting her into rehab 3 times and all have failed. I make 100k a year and she dosent work. She isnt disabled or anything. She is voluntarily unemployed for about 2 years now. Im waiting to hear back from a lawyer but i am scared. I just bought a house in august. I dont want to lose the house. Will i have to sell my house to split the money between my wife and I? Am i going to have to pay for her to just live in an apartment and pay for all of her food while she gets to do nothing? I really want to keep my house and all of this is going to ruin my retirement. Paying for her rent and my house and my childs student loans will be impossible. IDK why i have to suffer the financial burden to get out of a marriage that i am suffering in and pay for my abusive partners life afterwards. I need advice. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 17 May 2020 06:07 AM PDT We contracted a Roofer (a legit company) to replace a 10 x 10 piece of flat roof last August, they didn't get to it until November and the sealant didn't cure properly because it was too cold so we ended up having a leaky roof all winter. They've come out to replace (for free) it this past week after us hassling them constantly and we feel like we're on the bottom of their list but again it's still leaking. We just paid someone in march to puddy and sand out whole downstairs (remodel) and we put in new insulation so that part of the sheetrock and about a foot of insulation needs to be repaired around that area. To boot, we've put off installing flooring and turning on electrical in our kitchen because we don't want a fire hazard/floor damage on top of this whole mess so we've been without a working kitchen for about a month longer than needed due to these guys dragging their feet. If they don't agree to replace the sheetrock/insulation do we have a case to sue for damages? [link] [comments] |
| Caught neighbor's kid vandalizing our car Posted: 17 May 2020 11:45 AM PDT Their parents apologized and we exchanged phone number. She later texted and said her lawyer told her she doesnt need to pay anything unless there's direct evidence. We have video of her kids standing around and touching our car She said our insurance would cover the whole thing and the rates wont change since it's not our fault. I dont know if this is true for my insurance plan. How do I deal with this? Do I need to report this to police and file a report? It's pissing me off. Their kids scratched two of our cars and we only asked them to compensate for one of them. [link] [comments] |
| Landlords Son looking to move back in, LL gave notice of eviction ( verbal ) Posted: 17 May 2020 01:55 PM PDT Hi all, asking for a friend that was given a verbal eviction notice. She has a medical(mental health) condition. Currently she is renting a basement suite a d was just given notice (verbally) that she needs to move because the landlord's son and kids are moving back in. With the current eviction ban, is the landlord allowed to do this? Also I don't believe that is the real case. She had a recent event that gave her a really bad migraine and had to be hospitalized. She was screaming her lungs.out from the pain until emergency services arrived and took her to the ER. location: British Columbia TIA [link] [comments] |
| [Sacramento, CA] Tenant hasn't paid May's rent and is no longer answering text or phone calls. Posted: 17 May 2020 05:26 PM PDT I know COVID changes the protocol here but I want to do everything I can do correctly. I live in Iowa. The property is in California. I'm not a career landlord. I'm a 27 year old who bought a house and had to unexpectedly relocate. Paying both the mortgage and my own rent is something I want to avoid. I had called her at the beginning of COVID to see if they needed help with anything and if they were doing well, and she said all was okay with them and we had a positive conversation. We've had a pretty decent relationship, but I wouldn't say I necessarily trust her. May 1 - Rent is due. May 8 - My property manager let me know the tenant hadn't paid after the grace period. May 9 - I texted the tenant and asked them to call me, or let me know if they needed anything. They've never been late, so I was mostly concerned. May 11 - No answer, I called again and sent a similar text. She responds that she meant to text me after she landed, her son was in an accident, but she'd pay that night or the next morning and she'd call me in a moment. I told her I'm sorry to hear about her son, and as long as she had rent handled she didn't need to call me back unless she needed anything from me in terms of maintenance or similar. May 13 - Still no payment, I text again and said the property manager hadn't received anything by the day prior. May 14 - No answer. Texted again and asked her to give me a call when possible. May 15 - No answer. Sent the first less-than-friendly text saying it was halfway through the month, I needed to know what was going on as June is around the corner paying two months' mortgage along with my own rent was a hardship and that I wanted to work with her before needing to take further action. I haven't heard anything, but I haven't sent anything since as I don't want to be accused of harassing them. All communications except from the last one were more of a "how can I help?" tone so I didn't want to send more than one firm message. Should I be reaching out more? Is that a liability to me? I know options are limited right now due to COVID. Fortunately, their lease does expire June 19. Is there anything else I can be doing other than giving notice to leave? If they leave and don't pay, what are my options then, particularly from out of state? Thanks so much. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 May 2020 03:11 PM PDT My Mother in Law lives in Colorado. The town she lives in is a huge tourist destination so it's expensive to live there today but she bought a house there decades ago. Nevertheless, she now lives alone and to cut down on cost of living she decided to open up my wife's childhood room for rent. Then Covid19 happened. The local government has placed everyone on restriction but my MIL is also a grandmother of 3 with my BIL's 4th child due in a few months. Due to the need of my BIL's family, my MIL has had to watch the kids at her place - much to the chagrin of her new elderly tenant. I believe she, we'll call her Bernadette (I don't know her name), had been living there for a few months and was rightly concerned about Covid19 and having anyone visit. My MIL agreed but due to complications out of their control (daycare being closed down etc) my MIL was the only option for childcare for my BIL. Anyways, Bernadette flies off the handle and says some seriously uncouth things to my MIL who, calmly, explains to Bernadette that she needs to be out of the house by the end of April (I believe this happened circa 20MAR). It's now halfway through May, Bernadette's is squatting and threatening to sue my MIL for unlawful eviction. To make matters worse, evictions aren't being enforced right now due to the pandemic. My MIL called my wife in tears today as she now lives in close quarters with an unruly tenant who is now making her feel unwelcome in her own home. There are several text messages between the two of them having gone back and forth about Bernadette needing to leave and Bernadette at one point sent 17 lengthy texts in a row to my MIL more or less harassing her about the situation. Having never evicted anyone we don't even know where to start. Any advice for us would be most welcome. Thank you! Edit: sorry for the typos!! Update: I was just informed that Bernadette has left the house, though she is likely staying in a hotel which my MIL is convinced she will attempt to bill her for. My MIL also informed me that there were no documents signed - it was a verbal month-month agreement. Finally, Bernadette is apparently using her socioeconomic status to have plenty of probono legal advice and lawsuits drawn up for her. My MIL learned that Bernadette has 3 similar cases pending for similar situations. [link] [comments] |
| Neurological rehab facility abandoned my dad in the ER of a different hospital (TX) Posted: 17 May 2020 08:30 AM PDT Hi LA, Both my sister and I have medical POA. My dad had a medical emergency that left him paralyzed in January 2020. He spent a few months in the hospital before he was too healthy to stay (according to insurance) and had moved to spinal cord injury rehab. Needless to say he has complex medical needs at the moment, including bowel training and wound care. He got to the end of his stay at spinal cord rehab and that center and my sister realized the qualified for neuro rehab due to a TBI from several years ago. We were elated because he is in Texas and my sister and I live in PA and WA. We were planning on moving him to a rehab place near my sister in PA but had to put plans on hold due to COVID and other medical complications. He moved to the neuro rehab last Thursday night. Someone from the program interviewed him before the move, his move was delayed because that rehab facility didn't have wound care so my sister send them the names of groups that did and were covered by his insurance. Friday morning, they were completely unaware of his bowel needs (almost all spinal cord injuries impact a person's continence) and when he explained what he had been doing, the response was "We don't do that here". Friday at 3 my sister got a call saying he was taken to the hospital across the street for wound care, he would be there for a bit, then coming back. When they got there, the wound care team had already left for the day. My sister got an email at 4 pm saying since they were unable to get anyone from home health to visit, and he was being taken to the hospital across the street. Previously, this case manager had communicated via phone call so my sister was not checking her email for time sensitive communications. My dad called us at 4:15, then 5:30 from the ER waiting area, where he was left alone. She did his online check in for the ER at 5:40 and an upset ER nurse called her at 6 pm and said he didn't need to be in the ER and probably shouldn't go back to the program that left him there. The hospital admitted him at 8 pm and at 8:30 called again to say he was being discharged from the neuro rehab program and they would bring over his belongings. The case manager from the neuro program is saying he hasn't been discharged and
To be clear, they are also misrepresenting the severity of his wound as grade 4 when staff at the last rehab place AND the ER agree that it's grade 3. (DON'T GOOGLE THIS! IT'S DISGUSTING.)
We only found out he was dumped in the ER of a hospital after business hours Friday because he and an ER nurse called and have to wait for Monday to talk to any of the people involved to find a resolution. He is now in a general room in the hospital across the street from the neuro rehab program. This hospital has agreed to do outpatient wound care so, as long as the neuro program can give him a ride across the street, he should be taken care of. What, if any, legal obligation do medical facilities have to inform patients and their families of discharge? I know malpractice cases are usually case specific but I wasn't sure if this was med mal. or something else. The ER staff already said they would file a complaint with the medical licensing board against the facility. We both debated flying down to be there but it's not safe or possible for us to actually see him due to COVID restrictions. [link] [comments] |
| House of 7 - Housemates refuse to pay rent Posted: 17 May 2020 05:38 PM PDT Hello r/legaladvice. I am a college student, living in an EXTREMELY expensive house in Santa Cruz, CA. The rent is $6500 per month and 7 people are living in the house. We are all on the lease. We have three girls living in one of the rooms (they decided to live together instead of separate rooms to save money). They moved out after the end of winter quarter, and then COVID-19 happened. Now, 2/3 of the girls' parents have no job, so they cannot pay rent. The last one is not directly affected, but has decided not to pay. When asked to sublease, they only found groups such that they would lose about $200 bucks per month (compared to $1800). Because they did not want to lose ANY money, they never leased to anyone, and now, no one is looking to lease places in the area. Because of this, they are stuck covering the full amount even though they are no longer living there (moved out for spring break, they were supposed to come back). They have given me notice (we are all on the lease, but I take money to the land lord's place) that they won't be paying this month. None of the other 4 people can afford to cover their part, we all saved money such that we had enough for our parts of the rent only. The landlord also says she needs the full amount to pay her mortgage and refuses to lower rent. Does anyone know what we can do? It is such a shitty position. If she wont accept rent, and we don't pay, can we be protected somehow? Is the landlord legally liable to provide us a payment plan? If the landlord decides to sue, will it fall on just the girls or everyone on the lease? Will an eviction filing affect us? Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 May 2020 07:01 AM PDT I only found out a couple of hours ago and I'm sure I'm in some sort of shock but I have no idea how to sort things out. How do I access her bank accounts? Do I cancel the lease on her unit? What do I do with her car? If anyone can give me a brief rundown of how this works I would appreciate it. Thank you. In Australia if that helps. And there is no will as far as I know. And if you can mention things that I might overlook that would be great. Cheers. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 May 2020 04:58 AM PDT The duplex is split along the garage with a wall seperating the two halves. The neighbors yard is also fully fenced in. As far as I can tell the panel that controls the rest of my house, as well as the meter, are in the neighbors property somewhere. Is it legal for me to not have access to the breakers that control power to my unit? EDIT: the answer turns out to be somewhat convoluted, the unit is on a separate circuit so it's not sharing power like I thought, but the access issue is aperently an issue and the landlord is going to be sending an electrician to see about putting in a full panel with a cutoff to get my unit up to code [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 17 May 2020 08:44 PM PDT (Ut, U.S.) This happened within the past day, will update as necessary depending on help I can get. My mother is in a bad situation and we began to argue over the past few weeks. The ensuing events led to me taking in my 14-y/o sister to avoid emotional, physical, and verbal abuse from my mother. Earlier today we went by to grab a package and ran into her as she was leaving home, we asked to grab the package and maybe a few leftover things that my sister wanted, an argument started with my mother yelling at my sister and I for coming back. Words were exchanged and she began to get angrier the longer we lingered. Currently we are receiving dozens of texts from her and my younger brother berating is with insults and telling us to stay away and we've been responding with "why are you doing this, stop texting, etc." And are now just not interacting with them. My brother is in another state and doesn't know the full story and has only heard one version of the story of me "attacking" my mother and yelling at her. He is quick to react to things and always goes for the jugular in these instances. My brother just threatened to reach out to my employer via social media, i.e. LinkedIn, Instagram, FB, you name it. He only really knows the name of my company, but that's really all you'd need to find anyone who works here and any company wide emails. What can he actually do and how much damage could he cause by dragging my name through the mud with this? Is there anything I can do to avoid anything being posted regarding myself or preemptively getting in front of this if he does reach out? Any and all help would be appreciated. I love my job and everything that's occurred has been in the best interest of my little sister to shield her from a bad situation, trying to get me fired from my job is a new low and I'm beginning to get very anxious and afraid of what he might say or do.

| Posted: 17 May 2020 08:48 AM PDT My neighborhood has notoriously poor drainage, which compounds my issue. All houses on my street are slab-on-grade, except my neighbor, that has a basement. Each time it rains their sump pumps (3 total) are constantly running, which by itself is just fine. My problem is this. One of their pumps is dumping the water into their driveway, which then travels about 20 feet into my yard, flooding it each and every time. My yard does not flood unless their pumps are on and running full blast. I have asked them several times to direct the water elsewhere, but they just say "You're a low laying area, the water will just go there no matter what". Where should I start with this? Would my insurance company be a good place to start (I don't have flood insurance), or should I go directly to the legal system? I'm okay with seeming like a dick, I've tried to be diplomatic too many times and only met with rudeness and sarcasm. Side question: Is there anything that can be done about my city not doing anything preventative about our street flooding as well? I think if this issue got fixed we could more easily remedy the lady next door. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
