| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 05:47 AM PST Located in Pennsylvania Long story short, I worked for my brother. At the end of the year he refused to give me a 1099. My brother starting sending me texts saying the checks he wrote me were for baseball cards to escalate the issue. I ignored him, gathered all the checks he wrote me and gave them to H&R Block who filed my taxes. We haven't spoken since, it's been almost a year. I was supposed to close on a house on Monday but my loan officer contacted me and said they need to verify my employment with my brother and wanted my 1099. After explaining I didn't have the 1099, he said he needs my brother to verify that I worked with him for certain dates. My brother refused to answer my calls. When my loan officer contacted him, he said I was never employed with him. I lost out on the house and all the money for inspections and appraisals. Can I take legal action in any way?

| Ex-girlfriend has left Property at my Place and claiming she still has rights to my apartment (PA) Posted: 15 Jan 2021 02:11 AM PST Hello! Around 7 months ago, an ex-girlfriend and I moved into our first apartment. I was the i visual who signed the lease and my ex-girlfriend's name was listed as living here. As time has gone on, we split and I gave her a written order to leave by December 8th, 2020. This notice was not signed since she was living with me at the time and I prompted her 15-days notice to vacate the premises. I graciously let her stay longer than that timeframe and eventually told her to leave and she did follow. Her mother and her are telling me that a formal eviction notice was required to be filled out by our local MDJ and she has every right to come in whenever she wants. I directly told her that she will be allowed in to collect her belongings whenever I have enough time to go through things. She kept telling me that she wanted to do it in privacy while I was not home and I said I couldn't do that. My question: Does she have any rights to the premises after being listed on the lease and eventually "evicted" by me? My apartment recently was given new ownership and I contacted my previous landlord to notify him of the subtraction of her on within the property. Her property was left behind at my apartment now. She is demanding that she brings her and a mediator in to go through things with me here. Is there any more of an effective way to go about this process? Her small belongings were gathered by me and placed within various boxes to have everything together. When she left it was practically a hoarder home. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 07:15 AM PST [QLD, Australia] My husband and I have been married for 5 years, he's never physically assaulted me or threatened me but now I think he's some type of sociopath. I found the recordings on his laptop. Most of them show him and the escort in a hotel room; several of the videos he ties up and gags the escort then basically jack hammers them, some videos he hits them and/or chokes them, some he tied them up and would push their face into the bed while fucking them, etc. Several of the recordings he calls the escorts by my name with a stream of abuse. I told him I'm going to visit and stay with my grandparents for the weekend. I haven't told him what I saw I also don't plan to go back there by myself. I don't want to go anywhere near him especially alone. I also don't know if it's paranoia yet before I can start with anything there's a chance he's going to figure out what I saw. My husband is fairly quick at speculating things, he has called earlier this evening and to try act natural I talked to him and told him I'm just worried about my Nana (Nana is fine), later he texted me if I'm okay and if I would like a talk about anything, which now has got me really worried. I don't want him to know I'm aware because I'm scared he might attack me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 05:49 PM PST I live in Utah and work for a prominent auto parts supplier, I won't mention who but you've definitely heard the radio jingle. As far as I've understood it's illegal for employers to forbid employees from discussing compensation with one another, and yet, my employer has a written policy that forbids it under threat of termination. Yesterday a conversation came up with some other coworkers talking about wages and one of the people involved in the conversation notified the store manager who is pretty irate and has stated that he's fired people for having these types of discussions in the past. Utah is an "at will" state I believe, but isn't there still some protections against this employers behavior? What precautions can I take to protect my job and position as I was one of the parties involved in the wages discussion? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 07:14 AM PST My roommate and I moved into our new apartment Jan 1. From Jan 1-Jan 3 he was in and out doing maintenance and was maskless. We were wearing our masks. He said he tested positive for COVID on Jan 6 but did not tell us until Jan 11. Roommate and I got tested on Tuesday, I tested negative, she got recommended for further testing, and she tested positive today. I still have not signed my lease yet, she has already. Is there anything I can do legally for his irresponsibility and the danger he put us in? Can I demand a lower rent/compensation? Update: as pissed off as we are to our landlord we've decided to stay nice and kindly ask for a possibility of lower rent. Thanks for all the advice and wish us luck! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 06:37 PM PST I live in a small town in Illinois. She posts all of her videos on YouTube and has recently begun receiving monetization on her videos. In several videos, people tell her they don't want to be filmed. She says it doesn't matter because it is a public place. However, Illinois is a two party consent state. It seems to me like she shouldn't be able to make money from other people's likenesses. Are there any legal options that would cure our quiet little town of this incredibly annoying curse?

| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 01:44 PM PST Background, my mom has drug addiction problems and lost custody of me when I was 15. My aunt on my dad's side became my legal guardian and this remained until I turned 18 (I am now 23). I had occasional contact with my mother over the years (she occasionally gets clean, before she relapses again). In fall of 2020 she relapsed again and her actions became increasingly problematic. She and her boyfriend broke into my apartment and threatened my roommate with a gun, at which point I got a restraining order against both of them and they have stayed away since. Recently my personal papers got wet from a leaking pipe in my apartment building and I requested a new copy of my birth cert. I had problems with the request and learned that my mother has actually ALSO made this request recently, and was mailed a copy of my birth cert in the last week of December. I am wary of what she would want this for - it's not exactly a keepsake item so I am not sure what she could be doing with it, which makes me fearful of credit fraud or something. I do have a freeze applied on my credit as I've worried about her trying to use my identity, but not sure what else I should be worried about. Is there anything specific I should be afraid of / anything I should do? Or is there a good reason someone knows of that she might have wanted this to assuage my fears lol? [link] [comments] |
| My underage daughter's boss asked her out. Posted: 15 Jan 2021 10:12 AM PST We are in Florida. My daughter is a minor and works at a golf and country club. Her direct supervisor is in his 40's. He had been sending her non-work related texts for months. She eventually became uncomfortable and I told her to only communicate with him regarding work related issues. In December, he asked her out via text. Specifically, he asked her to go golfing and have lunch with him on a weekend. She turned him down and told my husband and I about it right away. I told her that she should bring this to the next level of management and to request that her position be changed so that she is no longer working under him. My daughter did this and the manager escalated the issue to HR, as I would expect. HR immediately put my daughter on paid leave for two weeks so that they could investigate and make a decision. My daughter supplied them with all of the text conversations. After about 3 or 4 weeks, they had her come in and talk to HR and upper level management. The upper level manager told her "you don't understand the world of golf. It is not unusual for an older man to golf with a younger girl". He essentially made her feel like she took everything out of context and what happened was like a coach working with a student athlete. My daughter is not a student athlete, she has never golfed, and this man is not her coach. I have always told her to trust her gut in situations like this and I firmly believe this was more than just a man wanting to teach a young girl to play golf. It is absurd that the manager even suggested this. My daughter is not an idiot. Her supervisor is the man who makes her schedule, sets her hours, sets her rate of pay, and has the power to fire her. He should have NEVER put her in the position where she felt uncomfortable saying no to a request for something that is not work related. Not an underage girl. Thankfully, for their sake, she had the good sense to say no! It has been several weeks since she first reported him. They have told her they have not made a decision yet and that she is welcome to come back to work while they work on making their decision, but they will hold her position if she doesn't feel comfortable. She is no longer getting paid. Is there anything we can do or is it just time to move on? She is saving for college in the fall, so she needs to work. My instinct tells me it's time to move on. She will never feel comfortable there now that management has made her feel the way she does, but it kills me that she is the one who will suffer when she did nothing wrong. Any advice is appreciated. Edit: I should note the non-work related texts had gone on for months before he asked her out. He also asked her to send him photos of herself so that he could add them to his contacts on his phone. Just inappropriate messages from the start. [link] [comments] |
| Is there a way I can stop this woman from going after me and others? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 04:21 PM PST Oh Jesus, how to even explain this situation. I am going to try my best. I'm going to be sorta vague because I am scared of retaliation. Yesterday I was hospitalized for a possible infection. My heart rate and nausea were alarming to the docs given my history (sepsis and a whole bunch of other fun things). I have very intense bladder issues and will have to have my bladder removed. My best friend and I are working on this. More of that in my post history if you're interested, it's a pretty pathetic read. I'm just anxious and depressed as hell and feel generally uncared about by my teams of doctors who've called me "complex" and then threw their hands in the air as if there's nothing they can do; I'm only 26 so uhhhhh we gotta do something. Anyway, I had a woman I did not know come in my hospital room around 8pm while I was watching Unsolved Mysteries and trying to relax. I've been having hyperventilating panic attacks for 2 or 3 weeks and I was given some Ativan so I tried to chill. This woman grabs a chair, sits down across from me, and says she "knows about me" and that she believes I am "carrying a sense of deep shame". I get confused and ask what she means and who she is. She says she works in the hospital. She then brings out a sheet detailing when I've received opiate medications in the hospital and when my doctor has refilled my meds over the past year (currently, I am on weekly refills - we are trying to taper). She then says, "Truth is freedom, accountability is freedom, both of those things are power. You need to realize you have an addiction." I told her she is mistaken, and she doubled down, and told me that I "manipulate everyone around me". This person does not know me besides reading some of my case files. She is not on my team of doctors. I do not know her. She does not know me, nor the excruciating things I've been through in the past few years. I talk to my doctor 3 or 4 times a week and my medications are closely monitored. I was just allowed to be prescribed Ativan in addition to my pain meds, and I don't think my doctor would let me have another controlled substance if he thought I was addicted lol? I burst into tears being accused of something I am not doing, which was embarrassing, but I couldn't help it. I asked her to please get out of my hospital room. She began to mock me, and put her hands on her hips and make ridiculous stances every time I said something else in my defense. She was like, "So you're an addict, and a liar." I started yelling at her to get out. She yelled, "I'm not DOING anything to you!!!" and finally left the room after straight up bullying me for like an hour. I am under an insane amount of stress and this is not something I needed at this time. I would understand if my doctor, friends, or family had concerns about my usage, but they do not. I live with my best friend who works in the medical field and she is very involved in my health. She is absolutely disgusted and infuriated that this occurred. I asked this woman for her name before she left and she flipped her nametag around. I found her on the hospital's website though. She's a neurologist or something along those lines.
Is this normal and I'm just overreacting? My dad was an addict and it tore apart our family. I am very careful with my medications and I take them as prescribed. The hospitalist on duty came to my room in the morning and I told him what happened and he agreed it was very out of line and it seemed like she was on a "witch hunt" for me. I am SO confused why this woman is in my business. I don't want her to do this shit to anyone else, especially the mocking and bullying. I feel like I didn't detail it super well here but it was incredibly demeaning and terrible. Please give me some suggestions if you can. [link] [comments] |
| School took out loan in my name 5 years ago and I just learned about it Posted: 15 Jan 2021 11:36 AM PST I'm in Massachusetts, this happened with a community College. I started going there in fall 2015. I ran a credit report 2 weeks ago since I'm planning on getting a personal loan, and I saw a loan for $1250 that I've never heard of. I did some digging, found out who the loan was through. I contacted the loan company and they said the college took out a loan in December 2015, and that they just give out the money and i have to contact the school.. Now, I am completely covered with school by Pell Grant, so I have no reason to take out any loans. So, I contacted student accounts, got a reply, then I asked questions, then got ignored, then contacted financial aid who did the same thing, then a financial advisor who gave me some more info: she said two loans were taken out and were refunded. I told her it wasn't refunded, and eventually, she started just giving me a run around and has stopped answering my questions. (Questions have included, why didn't I get invoices on loan, how was this taken out, did I sign for it, why doesn't it show in my school accounts). I don't know if this is important but ill but in just in case- I'm autistic and disabled (the school knows about it). Anyway, My next step is to contact the Ombudsman, but Is there anything else I could be doing? [link] [comments] |
| New husband's employer won't let him drop health insurance to join mine? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 06:41 PM PST Hi, I just got married and my new husband and I have decided that my employer's plan is a better fit for our new family than his. We want to add him to my plan and cancel his current plan's coverage. This should be allowed as our marriage is a Qualifying Life Event that occurred less than 30 days ago. He reached out to his HR contact and they told him that during this 30 day Qualifying Life Event period he can add me to his coverage as a new dependent, but he can't alter or drop his own coverage. This sounds totally wrong to me based on everything I know about Qualifying Life Events but I can't find a good piece of govt documentation to back this up. Can anyone help?

| Fired after filing an HR report Posted: 15 Jan 2021 04:26 PM PST Not my question but my husband's, who was a CO at a jail in Alabama. For the past three months my husband has been verbally degraded and harassed by his supervisor in front of other coworkers. The supervisor would also tell my husband's coworkers not to interact with him, and would say that my husband was making illegal drops in the jail without any proof to his claims. On Tuesday, three days ago, my husband allowed an inmate to leave his restraint chair after being there for three hours with no one checking his restraints so that he may go to the bathroom. My husband assisted this inmate through the jail while he tried to find the keys to the bathroom that another supervisor had and would not give over to him. Because my husband allowed the inmate to leave the chair so that he may go to the bathroom while my husband was with him, my husband's supervisor began screaming at him and degrading him in front of the officers. My husband pointed out that they were only allowed to leave the inmate in the chair for an hour and a half, and that the inmates restraints were on him so tightly that his hands were starting to change color which is something they were not allowed to do either. The supervisor continued to yell at him for doing this, and told him to let the inmate Urinate on himself. What my husband's supervisor failed to realize up until that moment, is that my husband had his body cam on, and had recorded that entire exchange. After the supervisor realized that his body camera was on he stormed away and told my husband to go home for the night. That night my husband took home the body cam footage and filed a complaint with HR on the supervisor. Today when he went into work, he informed his Corporal of the HR complaint that he had filed and just reasons behind filing it, as the Corporal had not been made aware of the ongoing situation. This afternoon, an hour before my husband's shift ended, he was called in and given the paperwork for immediate termination. I wish to know if there's any legal action we can take now, as all of this sounds pretty illegal to me. We are also planning on releasing the conditions of the inmates to the local newspaper. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 05:50 AM PST Case ended up being way more than initially found and is with the FBI / a federal case. Was asked by the agent to testify in front of the grand jury on date since I was the one who discovered it and asked if I was available to meet prior for a prep meeting at the US Attorney office before GJ date. No idea what to expect. Do I need my own lawyer? I have no history with anything with the legal system outside of shows / movies so I have no clue what to expect. I also recognize they only care about their case and not me so I don't want to be un prepared. So what can I expect and what should I do to prepare? I haven't consulted with my current boss yet; all execs are aware of the situation and we have legal representation but at the end of the day its the companys representation and not mine personally. Thoughts? advice? anything is welcome. thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Backed into someone blocking my driveway, now they are claiming bodily injury. Help? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 12:15 PM PST Edit: This happened in Seattle, WA About 2 months ago I was cautiously backing out of my driveway going no more than 1-2mph when my car seemed to bump something. I was surprised to see that a car that was parallel parked/ idling (in an angle-only parking zone) with the tail end of their car hanging out into my driveway. I got out to check on the situation. There was a woman sitting in the idling car who did not speak English. She was driving an old car that was covered in dents and scratches. She pointed to a spot where some paint had been chipped off (from where I hit her...maybe). She took a photo, and I also gave her my name and phone number. I asked if everything was ok and she said yes. There is not a mark on my car whatsoever. A few weeks later, the driver's boyfriend called me saying they went to a body shop to assess the damage to the car, and got a quote for $3,000. At that point I filed a claim with my insurance, they told me not to worry and that their adjustor would assess the damage and I wouldn't pay anything out of pocket. Despite the fact that she was parked illegally, in my driveway, in an angle-only parking zone, on the wrong side of the street - I still had to accept fault because I was moving backward. I find this ridiculous because I hit her while I was still well within my driveway - not in the street. Fast forward to today and the woman in the car has gotten an attorney and claimed bodily injury. A bodily injury adjustor from my insurance just called me to say that the insurance company will be working with the attorney, but if they settle above my coverage limit - I might be responsible to pay out of pocket (essentially, if they don't get enough money from my insurance company, they can file a lawsuit against me). This has spiraled out of control and there is absolutely no way this woman is injured. What do I do? How do I protect myself? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 08:10 PM PST On 11/15 it was moving day and I was at our new condo while my dad etc helped bring stuff. That morning my old apartment complex called me to ask if I knew about the wood scraps and broken pipe. I called my dad who didn't even know that my book case had clipped a pipe on the way out. He was the one driving so he went back, apologized, gave them his info etc. They sent the plumber over since he was already on the property. The guy laughed and said oh it's just a quick fix it's no problem I'm already going to the store for this water heater so I'll get what I need and fix that no charge, it's just a $2 fitting. According to my fiancé who was there at the time he returned, it took him less than 30 min to fix it. Now, literally a month later they called me this morning. I thought it was about the package I've been meaning to grab for a week, but to my surprise it was someone trying to collect payment for the pipe, and said they needed it today. I said oh ok let me talk to my dad and get back to you..I thought that was taken care of and it wasn't me so I'll get back to you since I can't pay that right now. So they emailed me the invoice like I asked and we hung up. When I went to get my package I tried to pay with a credit card but they said cashiers check or cash only. I asked if I could pay the plumber and they said no. Cash or cashiers check only. So I said ok then I'm guna have to call you guys after my dads plane lands then because he's the one who did it and I just don't have that, dad was guna pay me back or whatever. Is it normal to ask for a cashiers check in this situation? The other thing I find weird and just noticed now is the invoice is dated for the first of the month. The other other thing I find weird, is they just sent us pretty much our whole deposit back and I've talked to people from the office since we moved (they had my package) - this has never been brought up before. It also doesn't even have my name or old apartment number on it. AND I wasn't even the person who did it! They had his number! Also the rush to have me pay like... Look, my dad gave them his info from the get go so why are they even calling me? I'm not trying to be shady and not pay some plumber for his valuable time. We were going to pay right then and there the day it happened but "it was free" so I really just feel like something strange is going on here and they're trying to take advantage of me. I'm not one to haggle or whatever I was literally about to pay today even though the plumber said no charge. If I'm responsible for something I'll pay it for sure. Now I'm glad they didn't take my card because now that I've thought about all these other factors I think they're being shady. I was thinking I just wouldn't answer any more calls from them because it feels like they just got some work done and are for some reason trying to pass the cost off on me. I was guna just call the plumber listed on the non itemized receipt, but I don't want to somehow own this by doing that. Do they have any way to hold me to this invoice? Will it be ok if I just stop responding? [link] [comments] |
| WI- Is it a violation for a therapist to tell a child's parents they are gay without consent? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 05:41 PM PST 14 y.o male currently residing in a court ordered residential treatment facility for behavioral health dealing with impulse control, compulsive and habitual lying, and sexually deviant behavior. Today I received a message copying myself, the other parent and step parent, and the division of health/cps caseworker. It stated that my son had self reported past trading sex for heroin, having sex ads for money, and going with gay men to clubs. (Without going into full detail the whole team copied have all replied that given the context and living environments he was in prior to treatment that this was most likely another fabrication of his- his specialty lying. Anyways) Regardless the matter is being taken very seriously and will be followed up with to determine next steps for treatment if it is true. Then therapist goes on to say "he is also identifying himself as gay. He told me that he came out as bi to family and plans to have the conversation with you all soon." Problem is my son had not told me anything in regards to his sexual orientation, not one word. I had heard rumors of it from a past interaction he had with other boys. He disclosed to his sister questioning his identity but did not come out, but he did tell his father he was bi (which was not communicated with me). I firmly believe that it was none of therapist's business to disclose. My son was telling people what he wanted them to know about his identity at his own pace. And even if he never wanted to tell me that is fine because who he likes sexually is none of my business. Even though I knew in my heart he was gay, I still wanted to give him the decency of allowing him the choice of if he would tell me or not and that he would choose when that was. I responded to all addressing the sex/drugs and then the issue of sharing the info of his sexuality without his consent. I told therapist that I wished they would have allowed him the opportunity to come out on his own. Seeing as he has had apprehensions to it this should have been done in a clinical setting where he worked through it to get to the point of sharing on his own. I then asked if he consented and for therapist to return my return call. (Therapist never responded to question about consent being given) Therapist calls me back and gives more context of the self reporting. We discuss what was disclosed and how. After reviewing next steps for getting more disclosure from him I again address the issue of therapist telling me his is gay. Therapist says that it was disclosed because it had to do with the gay men taking him to clubs. I said them being gay doesn't mean my sons orientation needed to be disclosed. Therapist then says it was disclosed due to a safety concern as my son likes to tell everyone on the unit he is gay and if someone calls him a faggot (therapists words) it would cause a fight. I indicated that although that would be a safety concern it is not currently a safety concern so it wouldn't warrant disclosure. Therapist then reverberated understanding how I feel, etc and we ended the phone call. This wasn't sitting right with me so I followed up with an email direct to therapist only stating that after reflection I also wanted them to know that there are many people who do not accept their child as being gay. They throw them out of their family and abandon them, they demean and demoralize them, and they also attack them physically at times. Had I or the other parents been homophobic this could have had a detrimental effect on our relationship and would have created a lot of issues and heart ache for my son. Therapists responds to email sent direct to them by copying the whole team again saying that the reasoning I gave was part of why they disclosed his sexuality and so that we can deal with it while he is in a safe environment. I am hot right now. I just said thank you have a good weekend in response. Regardless of therapists reason it still doesn't explain why he could not have been the one to disclose this himself. I believe his sexuality was not relevant to the information that was needed to be disclosed. Has there been a violation here? Hippa or some other ethical concern? I honestly want to reply all to the team right now addressing each one of therapists reasons for outing my son and exactly why they were still wrong to do what they did. I am going to visit him this weekend, thinking about following up with management too while I am there. BUT I also do not want to tell my son about this as I do not want to destroy his trust in his therapist. Mostly I need them to understand what they did is not ok. Am I just seeing this wrong? If I am please tell me [link] [comments] |

| Removing Mentally-unstable Girlfriend from shared lease (MI) Posted: 15 Jan 2021 08:47 PM PST My girlfriend and I share a lease. She has been dealing with significant mental health struggles for several months: threats of suicide, drastic medication changes, and recently she began screaming at me, slamming doors, and throwing stuff. She also aggressively kicked me in bed a couple of months ago because she said she was triggered and scared. I called 911 a couple of months ago because she was making threats of suicide and refused to get more help, the first responders were only able to calm her down because she didn't agree to get evaluated at the ER. I broke up with her last week after the third day of her screaming at me. I stayed with family close-by for 2 days. She ended up taking a month off of work and is staying with family. I am back at the apartment, she has been gone since 1/8/21. I have enough income and a high enough credit score to take over the lease on my own, I already checked with the landlord. She does not meet those requirements on her own. I already have the paperwork to remove her from the lease. It is a very simple form that requires both our signatures and a date to have her vacate by. She agrees that she will leave but insists on moving back in February for an undetermined amount of time to pack and make arrangements. She agreed to pay rent while she is living back here. I don't want to be living in the apartment with her for an undetermined amount of time while she figures out her next steps. She won't agree to sign the paperwork and be out by the end of the month. I also don't want to be in a situation where I stay with family again short-term while she takes as long as she needs to make other arrangements and agree to vacate. What are my options? I don't feel safe to be alone with her. All of the utility accounts are in my name. Rent is also payed from my checking account each month, she "Venmo's" me her portion. [link] [comments] |
| Cousin stole over 1200$ worth of lawn furniture Posted: 15 Jan 2021 11:17 AM PST My cousin stole around 1200$ worth of lawn furniture from me around Thanksgiving. I finally found out it was her after her father emailed me and admitted he knew she stole it and how she had claimed it was a prank. I texted her last night letting her know that I would be over tomorrow at 12 to load up the furniture and take it back home. However, I'm rather positive she is going to do a no show and I am curious what action I should take after that. If I call the police, is there truly anything they can do? I have an email from her father stating she stole it, and I have a text message from her saying that I could pick up the furniture which as far as I'm concerned is her admitting she stole it. There was a police report filed a while ago that I could refer the police to. What I'm asking is that if she does a no show and I call the police, can they truly do anything to aid my process? Location is OH [link] [comments] |
| Landlord’s agent lied about roommates Posted: 15 Jan 2021 10:48 PM PST Before I signed the lease, I asked my landlord's agent if I would have any roommates and she said no. That was a lie because I have three other roommates. I was not in contact with the landlord at all until after I signed the lease because she handled all of his communications. Is this legal? I have screenshots of her saying there are no roommates. Is this grounds to break the lease? The lease also states that I am entitled to "Quiet Enjoyment" of the premises. Specifically, it says "Lessee shall peacefully and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the demised premises for the agreed term." However, my roommates throw parties three times a week until 3 am. I also have video evidence of these parties. Does my landlord have to evict them if they keep violating this agreement? Or can he just refuse to do anything at all? I live in New Jersey and am a college student renting one room in a house. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 10:11 PM PST EDIT: [USA - currently in Oregon but I don't plan on staying here] Sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this but I feel that a good chunk of you might be able to help guide me. So I have been going to school for physics for the past few years and am about to graduate. But I have always had an interest in law as well. Well recently I came across the idea of being a patent attorney and from what I am reading this would be highly interesting to me but the thing is, I have no formal law training. However from what I am reading it seems like the only requirements to being a patent attorney is getting a bachelors in a science field like mine (physics) and passing the patent bar which is a modified bar that more follows science related questions with legal background. Is this correct? can I become a patent attorney with no legal schooling ( I understand that I will need to formally study for the patent bar). Thanks for any and all advice/replies [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 10:09 PM PST My mother has a handicap placard and the apartment complex she had lived in for over 8 years decided to use their parking area that was close to the building to build another building complex. They told her to park in the handicap spots in a parking garage close by the building complex. She is very OCD when it comes to her vehicle especially with Covid she sanitizes the whole front of the inside of the car and puts on the handicap placard. She put her '05 Toyota Matrix facing forward in the parking spot and the towing company opened her car cause they claim they had to turn her car around to tow it. My mother has had many issues with her apartment complex including theft of boxes full of her items by people they hired to do major repairs. My main question is can towing companies just troll parking garages that are for tenants without receiving a call from the apartment complex. Since it says on the form call # 828 and also stock # and purchase order. Am I understanding the paperwork correctly could call# mean they received a call from the apartment complex? Reason for towing says No Parking Permit is that the same as not having a handicap in display or can it be they didnt see her apartment complex sticker? Im confused please help me figure this out for her. [link] [comments] |
| My mother is refusing to return my passport, SSN card, state ID, etc. Posted: 15 Jan 2021 10:03 PM PST Located in upstate NY My mother is refusing to return my passport, SSN card, state ID, birth certificate, and some of my bank/debit/credit cards. She has been also been using my identity to trade in stocks, open credit cards and bank accounts and refuses to disclose the credentials to the accounts. My mother has been abusing me for years and I don't care at all about being on "friendly" terms anymore so is there any way I could take legal action to get those items back as quickly as possible?
