| In laws dropped prenup 4 days before wedding day Posted: 25 Jul 2020 08:36 AM PDT Hi All, I made a new account to ask this question, I do intend on seeking actual legal counsel in my county (Los Angeles) but I just wanted to get some advice because I don't really have a lot of people to turn too... So my girlfriend and I have been dating for about 8 years, we've been relatively happy few bumps in the road here and there but nothing major. Had a bit of a falling out with her family last holiday and them and I are a bit... distant, to say the least. Well, during the pandemic, we also got a life changing surprise, we're pregnant, I'm excited she's excited, and well I went out and got a ring and asked her to marry me soon after that, we talked about it and decided to get married before the baby arrived through a small ceremony at a chapel nearby, and then next summer have a big wedding with all our family once Covid (hopefully) settles down. Well yesterday, at about 6pm, my fiancé mentions that "because of what happened to my mom, being left in a lurch with her past marriage, she'd like to have in writing about the ownership of our assets and finances just in case our marriage doesn't work out" (her words) and so she has this document she wants me to read. Its a prenuptial agreement, I think (im not a lawyer) basically stating her car and retirement/investment accounts entering the marriage will remain hers and my car and my investment/retirement account will remain mine in the event that we split. I read it briefly and said sure, I'm fine with signing a prenup if that's what you want but I'll need to have a lawyer look at it before i sign anything and update it with my assets I'll want protected also (there are some accounts that weren't included in the document). So 1. I'm assuming our wedding Tuesday is pretty much out, I just don't think I'll have enough time to get a lawyer to get this all done by then?
Sorry this is so long, I appreciate any and all help and advice, I was just kinda blindsided by this and I don't really have lawyer friends I can even ask a bit of advice for... thank you in advance Edit/Update: thank you all for the advice and support folks, I spoke with her after getting some advice from y'all and we are moving forward without the agreement. It was her dads idea, and she hadn't even spoken with a lawyer or anything... I told her this wouldn't fly that I was going to be marrying her, and not her and her parents, and she needs to be having these conversations with me, because although they'd be involved in providing advice and feedback, just like I would go to my mom to bounce off some ideas, the decision is not theirs and it's inappropriate for them to be interjecting into our lives this way and I would not be having it now or in the future. She agreed and mentioned how it was inappropriate and that if the shoe was on the other foot and their parents were doing this to them, they'd also not be having it so it wasn't fair to do it to us. So I feel we reached a good understanding and foundation to move forward on incidents like this... we agreed to go sit down with a financial planner/attorney to discuss our estates and such on our own accord, following the wedding and she also said she would make it a point to tell her folks to back off and let us do our thing... So thank you all again! Sorry if this was kind of a relationship-y advice along with legal advice lol, but I certainly appreciate the help, very much! [link] [comments] |
| My sorority house is forcing me to live with 50 girls during COVID Posted: 25 Jul 2020 06:36 PM PDT I live in a sorority house with 52 girls. Our house is in Santa Clara County where cases are at an all time high. We all moved out in March when school went online. Our fall classes for school are 100% virtual and they are still trying to bind us to our housing contracts for fall 20-spring 21. The housing board makes us sign a housing contract for each school year extremely early on. (My contract for the school year fall 20' to spring 21' was signed in November 2019 before COVID 19). The house holds 52 girls and even has one room with EIGHT BEDS. Coronavirus cases are through the roof in Santa Clara and we are all really scared to live in. Over summer, 10 girls lived in and 3 of them contracted the virus. Several other Greek houses have contracted the virus as well. Is there anything that can be done to get out of this housing contract? I'm worried for my health and many of us have expressed concerns to the housing board and they seem to believe that us being afraid to get COVID & give it to our at-risk parents is not a good enough excuse. Also can they legally hold us to this contract and make us live with 52 people even during a public health crisis? What is the best way to get out of this contract? I know they aren't "forcing" me to live there but financially I would have to. [link] [comments] |
| Nightmare Neighbor ruining other homeowner’s sales and threatening to post private information? Posted: 25 Jul 2020 12:59 PM PDT Asking this on behalf of my mom, we're stumped what to do with this neighbor. My mom lives in a condominium in Washington state and pays HOA dues, but she pays it on a special plan as she's running pretty behind on it. Everyone on the HOA board knows this. The neighbor pretty much forced herself on the board, and now that she's on the board (Secretary) she's taking matters into her own hands and posting newsletters on everyone's doors without it being approved or even looked at by other board members. She's heard that my mom doesn't like her, and now she's threatening her by sending my mom's payment records and her payment plan to our other neighbors. She's also threatened to make it "living hell" if any of us decide to sell our homes, we're not sure what that means yet. Is there any kind of privacy law that prevents her from doing this? It doesn't feel right but we don't know what we can really do. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 01:53 PM PDT The short version, I just found out my mom has been talking to an online boyfriend for over a year. She fell for the "I'm in the hospital" scam and wired him 50k. My brother and I found out and tried to convince her that he's fake. When she told the guy that she didn't believe he was real anymore and threatened to go to the cops, he sent her 10k through cash App (from 2 different account) to try to convince her he was real and would pay the rest back soon. 10k is better than nothing, but is it possible this is a scam too and Cash App can cancel the transfer or take back the money if he used a stolen account? What is his end game? What should we do next, contact the police? Any advice would be so helpful! I know this is a textbook scam and dumb for her to fall for it, but she's my mom. She's divorced, my dad was abusive, and she was vulnerable. Please help! [link] [comments] |
| Neighbors are preparing to log their land where I have a water easement.... What can I do? Posted: 25 Jul 2020 10:53 AM PDT (Oregon) Neighbors and I do not get along since I won a court case against them. So in spite they are about to log their land where my spring is located. We both know that it will affect the quality of my water which is why they are doing it. What can I legally do to protect my water supply? Or would I have to sue after they act? Note that the easement is a single sentence in our deeds stating that I can get my water from that spring. [link] [comments] |
| Can I be charged with kidnapping if I take my son back to my home state? Posted: 25 Jul 2020 05:53 AM PDT Back story: my boyfriend brought us on a 12 hour trip from MO to WV to his moms for a "vacation", and ended up getting a job and planned moving up here without really talking to me about it before we came up here. Our relationship is really rocky, and I'm hundreds of miles from my family, he's making threats, not giving me a way home etc. My parents are coming up to get me but I haven't told him. His job's check is addressed to his parents in this state, but so far my son and I still have a permanent address back home. There is no custody agreement, he's just on the birth certificate. I'm only going to tell him when my parents show up that we're leaving because honestly I'm too scared to tell him. Can he call the cops on me for leaving with my son? Edit: we've been up here for a month, son was born in MO not WV [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 08:56 PM PDT About 2 weeks ago, I was over at my parents house with my dog. We have a fenced in backyard, and our dog was in our backyard enjoying herself. The neighbor let out their dog to use the bathroom, and my dog doing what dogs do, playfully barked at the neighbors dog from a fair distance away from the fence. (My dog didn't go up to the fence) The neighbors dog full force charged through the fence and managed to go under the fence into our property and bit and attacked our dog. Keep in mind that this portion of the fence is their fence, so any claims that the fence wasn't maintained falls on them. Over $4k of vet bills later our dog is recovering. The neighbor is claiming that since our dog barked, it was our dog "provoking" his dog, and is trying to only pay for half of the vet bill. However, I am almost certain that regardless of provocation, their dog crossed into our property to inflict damage and they are responsible for 100% of the vet bill. Am I correct? [link] [comments] |
| Terminated for refusing to lie to the department of labor. Posted: 25 Jul 2020 05:00 PM PDT State of Georgia. On New Year's Day this year I lost my job after returning from my vacation. I was the general manager of a restaurant in a small restaurant group that is trying to become a corporate chain. "Corporate" had advised me to terminate a manager. I wasn't comfortable doing that as I had no reason to fire him so I placed him on a week's suspension. When he returned to work I was instructed to serve him a separation notice, stating "the employee requested separation." This was not the case with him, and he insisted he was ready to return to work. I initially served him the file stating that he requested separation, but he rejected the terms of the separation so I said he was fired instead. The company lost their case and had to pay him unemployment and I was terminated for the results of the case. I'm great at the operations aspect of restaurant management but I am severely lacking in the legal aspects of the job, and I feel like this was a case I shouldn't have even been involved. I feel like I've been asked to fudge a separation notice, and this is a company that has bragged about not ever having to pay unemployment in their 5 years of existence. Let me know if I have any ground to stand on here. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 09:37 AM PDT Edit: should include I'm in the US, Texas Not sure if this counts as personal drama, but money is involved, so... My mother and I have a.... rocky relationship. She left my father when I was a year old, and they've been divorced since. I was raised by my father, and he was a very dear figure in my life. He passed away about half a year ago, and being his only child, everything was willed to me. (I'm an adult, live alone in my own house) That was... up until a little while ago. She showed me she'd 'mysteriously' been sent the paperwork to claim his life insurance money, and asked me if I had the death certificate on hand. I ask to see the paper, and see it's a 'claim form'. She needed my father's death certificate to claim his money. I say I don't know where it is. She chews me out for a while, telling me it's my responsibility to keep ahold of these things, that I shouldn't be so reckless with my father's documents. I nod along, and she tells me to find it so she can 'get me my money'. I tell her I'll see what I can do, and leave it at that. Should I take it to court, or just deny her? Since there seems to be a lot of confusion:
And asking if she is that executor (she's not). [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 10:56 AM PDT Thats essentially the tldr, but heres the LOOOONG version. I've tried tracking all this because I need to sue. What steps should i take to protect us and prep a good case? What can I sue for? We lead a quiet life; this has been hell. So Many Details below. I know its a lot so thanks in advance for reading. Edit: break paragraphs up. May 29, boyfriend (22m) and I(23f) move into 1Bed apartment. Landlord lives onsite in separate building, theres only one other unit (shares a wall with mine). Upon moving in we discovered the washer didnt work and the fridge was on its last leg. When asked about washer (informed him broken control board was preventing draining), the landlord came into unit to look and said "oh the last tenant installed them. Ive never looked at them. I think it drains through this [tiny tube] out to the patio". It was broken, tube was an emergency drain. Proper laundry drain pipe was broken at the wall, washer fix would cost $400. So we replaced fridge+washer out of our own pocket ($550 total), had the old washer hauled away and sold the old fridge for $20. Landlord came to "inspect them" and said "usually tenants let us know when something is broken so we can deal with it." Umm sir, we tried. Mid-June, bf started feeling ill- insomnia, stomach issues, trouble breathing, mood swings, brain fog, etc. Then, heart palpitations- rapid pulse fluctuations btwn 40-140 for 90min at a time. His normal resting rate is 50, so this was very bad. He stopped working full time June 19. July 8, after 4 ER visits for the heart issue and it being dismissed as panic attacks FIL suggested we look for black mold. We found it in both in window AC units. This could've been prevented by regular maintenance. July 8, texted the landlord informing + asked him to bring in a professional to deal with it. Bf removed the AC with the worst mold (bedroom window) and set it on the porch. I took photos of the mold in both. Landlord said he would look at it in the morning and decide. Set a fan on window to push air outside + went to stay at my moms. July 9, he texted to ask when he could look at the AC and complained about us moving the ac and switching out the fridge+ washer. July 8-10, I pushed multiple times for a professional to check the apartment and he said he was contacting someone. July 10, we visited our apartment. He had swapped one ac unit and taken away the moldier one. The old, less moldy one was sitting on the ground outside, under the new in window ac. (Still there as of 7/25). He then sat us down and told us (after a lot of waffling) that because we removed the AC unit and sold the old washer and fridge we werent a good fit and he wanted us to find another place to live. I pushed for more info and he said that the mold inspection+remediation was too expensive and he couldnt afford it. Rent is 1675/mo and his wife is an accountant, so thats BS. We showed him a home depot mold air test ($10) and he admitted he'd never dealt with mold before but was willing to go get the diy test. July 12, another ER trip. Bf pulse of 190, bc hes 22yo doctors thought he was on hard drugs, restrained him. Ended up seizing, almost died, then sent back home. Terrible time. July 13, diy mold test was complete and needed to be sent to the lab. Asked landlord to send it ($40 lab fee), told him I'd set it on the porch for him. Landlord said he'd be back at 6pm July 13, Urgent care. Then ER that night. They released bf from ER, his pulse hit 190 two hours later and he passed out while we were driving back to the ER. Cardio consult, transferred by ambulance to primary hospital. July 14, cardio dr diagnosed him with wolff parkinson white syndrome(extra pathway in the heart). Reaction was caused by mold, it had given him no prior issues. July 15, Performed catheter ablation and electrophysiology lab on him. For these he was awake and not numbed. They pushed his pulse to 230. He said its the worst pain hes ever experienced (he works construction and is an athlete, he is no stranger to pain). Sent him home same day. Told not to drive for 3 months, heart would take almost 8 weeks to heal. July 16, ER trip, diagnosed with SVT (random heart palpitation episodes). Doctor said mold triggers it really badly. No treatment offered. Landlord texted saying he assumed we'd moved out bc he hadnt seen us for two days and would be listing apartment. Responded saying we'd been at the hospital and to not list apartment. Honestly, appalling. July 18, hired a professional mold inspector ($350) who told us the toilet was leaking in the wall and underneath and laundry room drain was also leaking in wall. Landlord texted asking when we were moving out. He'd asked in person twice before. told him we didnt have a new apartment yet but would likely be out by july 30. July 19, Landlord dropped lease cancellation agreement into mailbox. Simply says "below signed have mutually agreed that lease will be cancelled aug 1". Will not sign. July 20, ER trip- particularly bad svt episode. Still no treatment offered. Test still not picked up from porch by landlord. July 21, two storage pods dropped off at apartment so we could slowly pack up. ER trip- blood clots in both arms. Checked and sent home, clots werent dangerous. July 24, landlord texted asking when we would sign form and for diy test results. Told him it wasnt a priority, we still had hospital things to focus on. He never picked up the test to send it to the lab, so no results, just a very moldy petri dish. July 25, got mold lab results. A few highly Toxic non airborne mold spores present in bedroom, inspector believes its leftovers from AC unit (despite a fan sucking air out of room 24/7 for 10 days) as they cant find their way into apt otherwise.

| I need to pull my daughter from preschool, but the school wants me to pay for the year. [PA] Posted: 25 Jul 2020 12:31 PM PDT Like many parents, we have been trying to decide what's best for our family this coming school year. We signed a contract in November and tried to break it at the end of March, but we were told that we would have had to pull our daughter out by March 1st to get out of paying. So we would still have to pay whether she goes or not. I've been trying to talk to them since then, but they still hold strong that I should have done it earlier. I have no idea how I would have known then. My baby has some health problems and I can't really risk sending my kid to preschool during what will likely be the second big peak in our area, but I also can't afford to be out the cost of school when I'll have her home all day. Moreover, the school will likely be closed and they will be giving us like 30 minutes worth of YouTube videos that require me to make crafts with my kid (no big deal on the crafts, it's just silly IMO). So I'm not even getting the service I'm paying for. I want my money back, even though I've only paid half of it, and I don't even know what kind of lawyer I might need, or if i need one, to accomplish this. I was 100% fine paying when we went virtual earlier this year because my kid was enrolled. But I really don't see how I could have known back in March that I would need to pull her out this fall. TL;DR Signed a contract in Nove 2019 stating I'd need to have informed the school of a withdrawal by March 2020 to get a refund. I don't want to send her. They are likely closing and providing YouTube content. I want my money back because YouTube isn't worth $8k and I can't risk my immunocompromised infant if they do open. ETA: This is for the 20-21 school year. So starting in the fall. Their argument is that they have already allocated the money paid, and the money expected from the next payment, to staff salary, so I'd be taking from the school. [link] [comments] |
| Baker acting an epileptic for accidentally kicking a nurse during a seizure Posted: 25 Jul 2020 06:30 PM PDT This happened in Florida and I'm not sure where to post or what to do but I'm hoping you all can help. My step dad was diagnosed with epilepsy around a year ago and has been on medication, taking the prescribed dose, for the entire time. Recently, however, he has started having major seizures multiple times a day and afterwards he is very confused and disoriented. His neurologist suggested we take him to the ER and so we did and while he was there we found out that he has been taking a toxic amount of his medicine for the last year. He has been prescribed three times the amount that he was supposed to have and it had become toxic to his system. The hospital changed his medicine and sent him home. Once he got home he just kept having seizures and they told us that it was just the old medicine working it way out of his system so we just tried to keep him comfortable and make sure someone was with him at all times. Meanwhile he was having around 5 grand mal seizures a week and countless petty mal seizures. Late one night he had a grand mal and my mom had to call 911. They took him to the hospital and he just kept having seizures so they sedated him and a few hours later called my mom to come get him. However, when my mom got there they told her things had changed. He had another grand mal even though he was sedated and he ended up kicking a nurse in the stomach and because of this they baker acted him. When my mom got there he was handcuffed to the bed and very confused. My mom pitched a fit about the situation but the best they could do was replace the metal restraints with fabric ones. My step dad has no memory of kicking the nurse and was devastated when he found out he hurt someone. He is the sweetest man and wouldn't hurt a fly. He begged to be allowed to apologize but they refused to allow him to. From then on his entire hospital visit was about the incident with the nurse. They no longer cared that he couldn't stop having seizures. All they cared about was that he had been baker acted. My mom got multiple calls from psychologists and psychiatrists but not once did she get a call from a neurologist or someone that could help him with the epilepsy. They took his phone and wouldn't let him call us and kept him restrained despite the fact that he was having seizures. We still don't have answers about what is going on with him, they just sent him home. The whole experience was horrific and I just don't want it to happen to anyone else. [link] [comments] |
| The person my GF bought her car from is saying their notarized contract is void Posted: 25 Jul 2020 03:34 PM PDT My GF has a Contract with a guy saying she will pay off an amount that is in the contract within a specific time. In the contract there is a clause about a late fee being applied if a payment is made more than 5 days after the specified date. As she only has a few payment left to fulfill the amount on the contract, he is now saying she has way more left because in the contract they didn't account for interest on the loan for the car. But he's saying the contract was voided because of some late payment she had made at the begining. It also says that he will provide a receipt for all payment made, she has a few receipts but not for all of the payment. I'm just trying to make sure she's not gonna get screwed for honestly way more than what the car is worth. Thank you in advance, I'm not sure if I can but if needed I can post a picture of the contract with all personal information taken out of it. [link] [comments] |
| Customer Touched Me and Spoke Inappropriately and he is allowed back in the pub Posted: 25 Jul 2020 04:54 PM PDT Hi Guys, this is obviously a throwaway account but I'm in desperate need of advice and instead of actually contacting a solicitor, I thought I should try Reddit first, lol! This is going to be long, I'm so sorry, bear with me. So, I've been working in this pub and a customer came up to me and gripped me by the arm (that was post-quarantine in a city in England) while I was outside cleaning some tables. He is really old and he looks kind of frail, so I didn't make much of it, other than it was utterly irresponsible in this context with Covid-19, etc. He looked cheeky at the beginning and said, "you forgot something." I looked baffled, smiled politely (you know, that waitress smile) and said, "no, no I did not. I have to disinfect the table before I put down the menus." He persisted and tightened his grip. It started hurting at that point, but I kept smiling. He said, "yes, you forgot something." I said more assertively, "no, I did not." and then he said, "yes, you did. You forgot to clean my shoes." At that point, my arm was on fire. But I kept smiling for some f*cked up reason. I said, politely (Wtf?!?!) "That is not a very nice thing to say." and walked off. I was shocked, appalled, and when I came back outside he slyly apologised for not saying the very nice thing. I said it is okay (but it obviously wasn't, I just didn't want to make a scene.) The arm is, I repeat, ON FIRE at that point. I couldn't fathom how such an old person could have such a tight grip. Anyway, I ran downstairs, called my boyfriend, checked the arm (you could see his handprint all over it) and noticed some swelling. At that point, I had difficulty breathing. The manager comes up to me and asks me what happened. I tell her. She then goes upstairs and tells the guy to leave. She comes back and tells me this looks awful, she is very sorry and this guy won't be allowed to come back and I should go home. I cannot stress enough how amazing I thought my team was. They all said this guy is barred from ever coming back. All the managers reassured me repeatedly. One of the managers said next time the guy comes around, he will need to give me an apologize. I was very vocal and said no, I don't even want to see him, I don't need his apology. I didn't even want to serve his friends, but I said I wouldn't mind their being there. Flash-forward a couple days and I have a massive bruise in my arm. A week later and the guy that touched me and spoke to me in that way is back. One of the managers comes up to me and says, "Oh, I thought he was allowed back in as long as you didn't serve him." I was shocked. I was annoyed. I got dizzy, had difficulty breathing at points but it was such a busy day that I pushed through. I tried not to look towards him, but even knowing he was in the pub made me nauseous. I found that they allowed him to come back totally unacceptable. My question is this: what do I do? What can I do from a legal viewpoint? I felt that by allowing him to come back in, the company endorses his behaviour. Now not only can I not bear to go back to work, I am found in this impossibly vulnerable position financially. Thank you for reading and any help would be very appreciated. EDIT: Turns out this would be more appropriate over to Legal Advice UK. Please feel free to delete if this is not suitable for here, though I'd still love to know by how this would have been handled in the US. [link] [comments] |
| Thief used an Expired License to pull all my cash out of my Bank Posted: 25 Jul 2020 05:35 PM PDT (Don't know if I picked the right flair, let me know if I did please) So, here is my series of unfortunate events. About 2 days ago I discovered that my car was stolen at my apartment complex. That sucked but you know shit happens and at least insurance covers this. However, today I observed that my bank account had a balance of 0. I went to my local bank and they disclosed that the person used an expired license to pull out all of my funds from my account at a local branch. I asked why would they allow the use of an expired license and they dodged the question by talking about "Its difficult to identify people with face masks" (which in a drive through why not ask them to remove the mask...) I looked up if the bank had to have like a standard Operating Procedures for expired IDs and discovered that not only is it SOP, but also federal law. So my legal question is would it hold up in court to sue the bank for breaking federal law? tl;dr - Bank allowed thief to use expired ID to pull out cash, could I sue bank? EDIT: A word and forgot location: Salt Lake City, UT EDIT #2: I failed to state that I did contact the police when the car got stolen, then added to the police report regarding the bank withdrawls [link] [comments] |
| My neighbor strangled me last night in our parking lot. What do I do now? Posted: 25 Jul 2020 07:49 PM PDT I live in a small fourplex in Arizona. My neighbor and I are usually pleasant and get a long well, it's not uncommon for us to sit on our porches and talk for hours. Last night after an hour or so I cut the conversation short and said I had to run to the store for more beer. He offered to walk with me as our conversation was pleasant and we were having a good time. During our walk he starts questioning me on wether or not I do coke. He started implying heavily that he was the guy to call should a need arise. And he seemed a little offended I didn't want to do any with him. On our walk we got a little more personal than usual and he mentioned he's been to prison four times. Whatever, I don't need to know, he's the guy that kicks the homeless people out and generally makes the building a safer place. In hindsight I'm realizing that there were a lot of red flags that I naïvely ignored since he's moved in. "Questionable" parenting, verbally abusive to his wife, loud shouting matches with other neighbors. Never affected me I guess because we had a friendly relationship. And I feel so stupid now for allowing him into my life the way I have, and that I willingly ignored his character because he was nice to me. We got back and started sipping on some harder stuff and out of NOWHERE he started yelling at me about some weird things, that I never even said, I digressed and told him I wasn't sure what he was talking about and if I in any way offended him that I was sorry and that we could talk it out. He just kept yelling and yelling, I apologized and told him he was mistaken, he yelled at me for apologizing, I said I didn't say anything, he starts yelling that I did. I'm worried to share the details of the conversation because of the current state of the world and the implications it could have on my character, but he was yelling at me about I had referred to him as "you people" (I'm an early twenties white guy and he's maybe a 40y/o poc). I literally have never, would never, and could never say anything even remotely that vile. I was watching this man unravel before me into a blind rage so I said "it seems like we're not getting anywhere here, and we've had a lot to drink, maybe we should call it tonight" I stood up and said "goodnight, man" and he mumbled something quitely that I couldn't understand so I turned around to say "what?" (Non confrontationally) and before the words were even out of my mouth he had his hands around my throat and pinned me up against a car. Banging my head back and forth on the car. The whole time he just kept saying "you think this is funny mother fucker!?". I genuinely think if I hadn't broken free he would have killed me. I ran around the other side of the car and up my stairs. I turned back to look and he was still pursuing me so I grabbed the hand rails for leverage and said "if you come up here I'm gunna kick you right fucking back down". He pointed at me and said if I call the cops I'm dead. Well, someone else called them, they showed up, took pictures of my neck, he was yelling at the cops on his porch saying "fuck yeah I strangled that racist piece of shit". I declined to press charges. He sat on his porch drinking with a different neighbor that arrived after the altercation and they pretty much spent the next few hours talking about how "it's on sight.". I stayed up until 8am when I was sober enough to drive to my parents house to sleep. I'm back now and he's out on his porch grilling and drinking and having a good time acting like nothing happened. I feel more unsafe and vulnerable than I ever have. I'm not so much afraid of any physical altercation with him as he's a sloppy drunk with a bum knee, but I am concerned about the potential of a weapon, and his four twenty-something buddies that come over often. I'm extremely shook, and I keep replaying everything back and I don't know where I offended him or where it went wrong. It was like a switch, he just stopped making sense and started accusing me of all this random stuff that I've never said. To anyone. I don't know what to do. I guess I mostly needed this post to vent as I'm having a hard time processing and I'm in honest fear for my safety. I'm slipping into paranoia, hearing footsteps on my porch, I can hear him talking out there from every room in my house (he's a loud guy) and it makes me so uncomfortable, etc. I think he'll probably just act like nothing happened and be friendly again because obviously a psychopath. But I don't want that. I want to get out of here asap. I'm on a month to month, do I have any grounds to stand on with my management company when I tell them I'm out next Friday or will I have to pay next months rent (30 day notice)? Will this have any negative effects on my credit? [link] [comments] |
| Sibling sexual abused me, suffocated me almost to death. Posted: 25 Jul 2020 04:24 PM PDT My sibling that is 10 years older starting sexual abusing, and controlling me as early as I can remember. At 6 years of age I began acting out all the things my sibling had taught me. I was kicked out of pre - kindergarden for sexually assulting a fellow student. Not long after being kicked out my sibling wanted me to bring a child that was visting her grandmother my age to show us sex we can do. The other child refused however I physically assulted this child, during the struggle the grandmother stoped me. My sibling then took me inside. I was scared so I started yelling i was telling Dad. Then I was suffocated until my bronchial tubes collapesd. I was told I was in the hospital for 13 days. This took place in 1978. I have witness trying to get the medical records unsealed. Is there laws that make my sibling accountable for destroying me. I am still a virgin, i have been alone isolated and afraid my entire life. I want JUSTICE [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 05:04 PM PDT As mentioned above my friend (she's not on reddit but asked me for help) rents apartment in Portugal (via booking.com ) and last occupants brought drunk friends who threw some bottles from balcony to the pool underneath the building. Property manager is claiming that they had to drain and replace the water in the pool and billed her €4000 for the whole ordeal. He's yet to produce receipt and some sort of evidence that this had to be done. Occupants didn't notify her of this and on top of everything they left the apartment messy, broke some dishes and took a towel. She's planing to report them to the booking but we were wondering what should she do next and if she should get a lawyer to help resolving the situation. She's afraid that she will have to pay the fees and loose her licence for renting. We will be grateful for any advice in this matter. [link] [comments] |
| My company recently did layoffs based on people's demographics Posted: 25 Jul 2020 07:31 AM PDT My company recently did layoffs and I was lucky enough to keep my job. When the executives discussed how they determined who got laid off, they said they picked a department that was not core to the main business and then picked a sample that was equal to the company's overall demographics on race, age, and sex. This made the post-layoff organization demographics equal to before. My question is if this approach to pick who got laid-off based on race, age, and sex legal? The opposite of hiring people based on race, age, and sex would seem illegal to me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 03:54 PM PDT To state the quote of a very hostile departure My roommate has stated "We received legal advice that you are required to provide the property 30 days written notice according to the contract you signed. Failure to do this and pay your portion of the August rent, will leave the property no other choice but to pursue legal action. This recourse & subsequent report to the credit bureaus will hamper your ability to obtain an apartment in the future." However we aren't on the next lease and will be gone before July 31st. There is also nothing on the lease stating we had to provide a 30 day written notice Can anyone help me makes sense of this I live in the State of New Hampshire if that helps with star law [link] [comments] |
| [US - Florida] Chase Bank claims to not be able to find a refund for a cancelled flight. Posted: 25 Jul 2020 07:49 AM PDT OK, Dates of pertinent information: November 19, 2019 - Purchased an airline ticket on Chase Credit Card $2251.60 for my wife and me to fly from Tampa, FL to London, UK. January 21, 2020 - Paid off credit card, cancelled account. June 12, 2020 - Norwegian Airlines cancelled trip (covid). June 12, 2020 - Contacted Norwegian Airlines at 1:15 pm and was told that the refund would be issued within ten days to the same card that I used to purchase the tickets. June 12, 2020 - Contacted chase at 1:52 pm - Was told by Customer service operator "Cindy" that the card was still in the system and that a refund from a merchant would be accepted and that I would be contacted to determine what account I would like to have the money transferred to. With Chase, I have two other checking accounts, a savings account and an IRA. June 16, 2020 - Norwegian notified me via email that I had a full refund and that it would be deposited to my Chase Credit Card. I spoke with Norwegian and they gave me the "transfer number" aphanumeric code used to track the transaction July 1, 2020 - 9:18 am - After not hearing anything I contacted Chase, spoke with Account Supervisor "Derrick". They can no longer see my card, and would have to send an (internal) email to "merchant credit purged accounts" and that I would hear from them via email or telephone withing five business days. I had spoken with Norwegian and they gave me the "transfer number" aphanumeric code used to track the transaction gave this number. July 9, 2020 4:46 pm - Called Chase, spoke with "Nesty" customer service rep. Transferred to "Steven" Customer Service Manager. Could not find any information at all about any of the phone calls, however, would send an (internal) email to the "back office" to find the account. "back office" would contact me "soon". (This person seemed uninterested in helping at all.) July 23, 2020 10:05 am - Spoke with "Derrick" who was the first guy I spoke with (yay, he remembered me). I had verified with Norwegian that there was no return or other issue with the original transfer of the refund. July 23, 2020 - 2:45 pm in the mail - received letter from Chase. They state that they can not find my account, and that the money was returned to Norwegian, on July 10, 2020. Norwegian can not find this money, Chase cannot find this money. I am looking for specific suggestions please. It is significant for my wife and I, $2251.60, and this was for a trip to see our deployed son in England, we would like this money back.

| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 01:01 PM PDT The property has a home that one family will claim and the others will build onsite. Additionally, there will be communal assets like outbuildings and equipment. We recognize that this could be fraught with challenges, especially if the right legal constructs aren't in place from the outset. [link] [comments] |
