1,578,885,357 | https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/enybrg/ca_changing_lease_terms_as_new_landlord_on/ | enybrg | Considering buying a triplex with existing tenants who currently share the communal backyard. I’d be moving into the vacant unit and would like to remove access to the yard from their lease. I have a dog, so I’d prefer to have sole use of the yard so I’m not worrying about liability issues with the dog or if one of the tenants remembered to close the side gate. They both currently have a month to month lease, and the yard space is well maintained - so I imagine they regularly use and enjoy the outdoor space. Besides the issue of upsetting the existing tenants, can a landlord legally remove a shared space from a tenant? I expect that their rent would need to be lowered to reflect the change.

Thanks! | [CA] Cambiar los términos de arrendamiento como nuevo propietario en los inquilinos existentes - haciendo patio compartido privado. Considerando la compra de un triplex con los inquilinos existentes que actualmente comparten el patio comunitario. Me mudaría a la unidad vacante y me gustaría eliminar el acceso al patio de su contrato de arrendamiento. Tengo un perro, por lo que preferiría tener el uso exclusivo del patio, así que no me preocupo por los problemas de responsabilidad con el perro o si uno de los inquilinos se acordó de cerrar la puerta lateral. Ambos tienen actualmente un mes al mes de alquiler, y el espacio del patio está bien mantenido - por lo que imagino que utilizan regularmente y disfrutar del espacio al aire libre. Además de la cuestión de molestar a los inquilinos existentes, puede un propietario legalmente quitar un espacio compartido de un inquilino? Espero que su alquiler tendría que ser bajado para reflejar el cambio. Gracias! |

I worked on it for the past 3 months but have yet to see any money, although I asked numerous times, my partner did not get anything in writing. To my knowledge, the investors have not even put any money into the business as of yet. I told the investors on Sunday I will no longer work on this idea until I am paid what I am owed. Since then I have not really heard anything from them or my partner, they are apparently having a meeting today but they won't tell me what time the meeting is at. Anyone know what I should do?

At this point I figure everyone is going on without me but I feel I should still get equity in this since part of the conception of this idea was mine.

Just today (1/2)I received the list of things that they would like me to pay for(included several things not mentioned on the walk-through), and it ended up being about one month's rent in total (after the security deposit).

I moved in with an engineering buddy and when the landlord first came to the apartment she stepped inside with an AC filter and the contract papers.
At first I thought it was ok since we were signing the contract, but as the months progressed she would always bring the AC filter and insist in coming in with her husband. I was a bit weirded out since in all my other apartments we would just deposit the money in a safe box and had minimal contact with the owner unless something broke in the apartment.

I’ve been living in an apartment in South Texas for the past 2 years, and I have a nosy landlord. I moved in with an engineering buddy and when the landlord first came to the apartment she stepped inside with an AC filter and the contract papers.
At first I thought it was ok since we were signing the contract, but as the months progressed she would always bring the AC filter and insist in coming in with her husband. I was a bit weirded out since in all my other apartments we would just deposit the money in a safe box and had minimal contact with the owner unless something broke in the apartment. Apparently my landlord does this with the other three tenants in the complex as well.

I am in a total pamic now because I was not planning to order and the conditions were very strict. No retraction or cancelation by buyer. Buyer is responsible for all legal fees. In case of any issues legal fees of at least 150 euros would be charged.
I feel helpless and trapped and am really worried that I may have made a big mistake.
I find it hard to believe that I could be held responsible for purchasing the order just because I slected a checkbox as I haven't signed anything

This seems the best place to ask this, so please bear with me, and thanks for any help you can provide!
Back in 2003, I had started up a small business in WI geared towards retail electronics sales online. I registered with the state department of financial institutions as an LLC under the title "High Tech Home Sales LLC". I registered indicating retail sales and manufacturing at the time. Unfortunately at the time, I didn't put forth the effort that was required to really launch the business as needed (and partly underestimated the work involved), so I haven't really done anything with the LLC or my domain, though I have kept the LLC and domain active.
Today, I got a letter in the mail from a real estate broker stating that they registered a trademark for "<similar to my LLC registration>" and states that the lawyer who registered the trademark for them indicated that they must challenge my use of "High Tech Home Sales LLC" so as to defend their registered trademark. A quick bit of digging it looks like they registered the trademark on Oct 4, 2012. The letter goes on to state that they would offer me to license their trademark at $500.00 for the entire state of WI or $250 for the city my LLC is registered in. He closes the letter with "Please let me know what you think one way or another. I'd rather find a way to benefit us both than expend legal fees and time in a silly fight."
This communication was sent on the real estate broker's letterhead and from their offices, not from a lawyer.
Should I give this any merit? Do they even have a leg to stand on since my LLC registration predates their trademark registration by 9 years? Do I respond or let it go and wait to see if a lawyer contacts me? At this point, I get the feeling they're perhaps just trying to scare me into paying them is all. I feel like if they're legitimate about this that they should send me an official request from their lawyer before I even do anything.
Just looking for comments, information and feedback! Thanks!
Edit: To add, the real estate broker business is not from the state of WI, but rather in VA. I figured I should add this as it likely is relevant information.

| Hola a todos, Este parece el mejor lugar para preguntar esto, así que por favor tenga en cuenta conmigo, y gracias por cualquier ayuda que usted puede proporcionar!De vuelta en 2003, Yo había iniciado una pequeña empresa en WI orientada a las ventas de electrónica de venta al por menor en línea.Me registré en el departamento estatal de instituciones financieras como una LLC bajo el título "High Tech Home Sales LLC".Me registré indicando ventas al por menor y fabricación en el momento.Desafortunadamente en ese momento, no puse el esfuerzo que era necesario para realmente lanzar el negocio como necesario (y en parte subestimado el trabajo involucrado), así que realmente no he hecho nada con la LLC o mi dominio, aunque he mantenido la LLC y el dominio activo.Hoy, recibí una carta en el correo de un agente inmobiliario que dice que registraron una marca registrada para "<similar a mi LLC registro>" y afirma que el abogado que registró la marca para ellos indicó que deben desafiar mi uso de "High Tech Home Sales LLC" para defender su marca registrada.La carta continúa diciendo que me ofrecerían licencia de su marca comercial en $500.00 para todo el estado de WI o $250 para la ciudad en la que está registrada mi LLC.Él cierra la carta con "Por favor, hágame saber lo que piensa de una manera u otra.Prefiero encontrar una manera de beneficiarnos a ambos que gastar honorarios legales y tiempo en una pelea tonta."Esta comunicación fue enviada en el membrete del corredor de bienes raíces y de sus oficinas, no de un abogado.¿Debería dar esto algún mérito?¿Deberían siquiera tener una pierna en la que estar puesto ya que mi registro LLC es anterior a su registro de marca comercial por 9 años?¿Contesto o dejo que vaya y espere a ver si un abogado se pone en contacto conmigo?En este punto, tengo la sensación de que tal vez sólo están tratando de asustarme para pagarlos es todo.Si son legítimos sobre esto, siento que deben enviarme una solicitud oficial de su abogado antes de que siquiera haga cualquier cosa.¡Solo buscando comentarios, información y retroalimentación!Gracias!Editar: Agregar, el negocio del corredor inmobiliario no es del estado de WI, sino de VA. |

I'm from a country in Asia. I was given a scholarship by my own country to study medicine in the UK. I've manged to go through medical school and gotten my degree. However, I failed to finish my foundation/internship programme, twice, once in the UK and once back in my country. The reason behind it is mainly because of relapse of my depression and anxiety with post trauma.
After I did my internship for the second time (in my home country) but relapsed, I decided that enough was enough. Being a doctor will end me. I had to take medical leave for 5 months and during that time my psychiatrist and the occupational health doctor had send their reports to the programme leader + HR (from the Ministry of Health) that I am no longer fit to practice and suggested to transfer me to do non-clinical work like being an educator or researcher or even woring in administration.
I've sent a letter to withdraw from the programme immediately after my medical leave ended.
The main issue right now is that, it has nearly been 8 months since my leave ended and they have no idea what to do with me. According to HR and the higher ups, I am still employed under them because of the 10 year bond I have with the government (scholarship). But I am basically just wasting away. My pay had stopped immediately after my leave ended and I'm not allowed to find any work because I'm still "employed" by the government. As of right now, my source of income is just my small catering business that hardly makes any money (less than $200 per month).
We had a "meeting" a few weeks ago, and the best temporary solution they can give is "re-training" me by having me do work attachment at the public health sector.
Is it lawful to keep someone employed but not give them any work/pay?
Extra info:
1) I am not allowed to work with private companies because I am still a goverment employee.
2) My bond (from the scholarship) only says I have to be of service to the goverment for 10 years but did not sepcify that I have to be a doctor
3) They are considering a transfer to public health... But they said i have to compete with others as well. And this will take months/years.
4) The administrive office at the hospital I worked misplaced my original medical leave certificate. All. Five. Of. Them. And because of this, they accidently paid me a month's worth. Any advice on this?

1,578,707,810 | https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/en10wr/missing_child_support_money_from_my_parents/ | en10wr | I’m a 22 year old college student, currently living in Cleveland but my family is in Rochester NY. My parents split up in 2012 and officially divorced in 2014, and my father supposedly pays child support money to my mother. I’ve since legally resided with my mother, and in high school I visited my father a couple days a week. All throughout high school my mother constantly complained about my father not paying her the child support money like he was supposed to, which I honestly didn’t give much though to because my life was adequate and I didn’t have to pay for anything.
At some point in 2016-2017 my mother took my father to court and he was ordered to pay her back all of the child support money he owed. My parents are very secretive so unfortunately this is all the information I have. All I know is that since then, both of my parents complain about being broke instead of just one of them. Whenever college tuition payments were due during my first two years, they became a huge ordeal. I distinctly remember there being several late fees on my tuition bill for the first two semesters. My actual tuition bill has never been much over $1k per semester because of my scholarships and financial aid. From my second year onwards it has always been $600 or less. I’m still perplexed by fact that both my parents told me they couldn’t afford to help, and made me pay for most if not all of it (or loaned me the money and made me pay them back). My father makes close to a six-digit paycheck and should be paying my mom a hefty amount of child support monthly, which ideally should have been set aside for my college bills while I wasn’t living at home and had zero expenses otherwise.
Since 2018 I’ve effectively been living on my own. Every time I visit home my father brings up the same topic: “You really should talk to your mom and ask her to give you the money I’ve been paying her. Half of it is for your brother and the rest should be for you.” I attempted having this discussion with my mother (who has remarried and been unemployed for at least three years) a while back and it ended with me almost getting kicked out of her home. Since last year she has been paying for my car insurance which I am extremely grateful for (even though she frequently threatens to stop). Both of my parents pitched in with expenses for my car when it broke down last year, which I am extremely grateful for. Other than that I’ve seen basically none of this money that I’m told is supposed to be set aside for my expenses.
My issue is that every time I visit home and ask for financial help (which my parents criticize me for not doing more often) it’s always the same response. From my father it’s “I already give your mom so much money, I don’t have anything to give you.” From my mother it’s “if your father ever paid me as much child support money as he’s supposed to, I would be able to help you, but I can’t.” Clearly someone is lying here. My father is horrible with his money, so there is a chance he simply isn’t paying what he says he is. However, there’s also the chance that he really is paying what he’s supposed to, and my mom is just pocketing the money/using it to pay for her scrapbooking supplies and essential oils.
No matter what the case may be, I don’t trust either of my parents, and I’m upset because I could be living somewhat comfortably while I’m in school. Instead I’m out thousands of dollars and scrambling to pay rent every month. Is there any way for me to legally make my father just give me the child support money, instead of it having to go through my mom? Or is it perfectly legal for my mom to keep whatever money my dad gives her and spend it however she pleases? I’ve been over the parental neglect for a long time, but I want to know if I’m entitled to this money or not.

At some point in 2016-2017 my mother took my father to court and he was ordered to pay her back all of the child support money he owed. My parents are very secretive so unfortunately this is all the information I have. All I know is that since then, both of my parents complain about being broke instead of just one of them. Whenever college tuition payments were due during my first two years, they became a huge ordeal. I distinctly remember there being several late fees on my tuition bill for the first two semesters. My actual tuition bill has never been much over $1k per semester because of my scholarships and financial aid. From my second year onwards it has always been $600 or less. I’m still perplexed by fact that both my parents told me they couldn’t afford to help, and made me pay for most if not all of it (or loaned me the money and made me pay them back). My father makes close to a six-digit paycheck and should be paying my mom a hefty amount of child support monthly, which ideally should have been set aside for my college bills while I wasn’t living at home and had zero expenses otherwise.
Since 2018 I’ve effectively been living on my own. Every time I visit home my father brings up the same topic: “You really should talk to your mom and ask her to give you the money I’ve been paying her. Half of it is for your brother and the rest should be for you.” I attempted having this discussion with my mother (who has remarried and been unemployed for at least three years) a while back and it ended with me almost getting kicked out of her home. Since last year she has been paying for my car insurance which I am extremely grateful for (even though she frequently threatens to stop). Both of my parents pitched in with expenses for my car when it broke down last year, which I am extremely grateful for. Other than that I’ve seen basically none of this money that I’m told is supposed to be set aside for my expenses.
My issue is that every time I visit home and ask for financial help (which my parents criticize me for not doing more often) it’s always the same response. From my father it’s “I already give your mom so much money, I don’t have anything to give you.” From my mother it’s “if your father ever paid me as much child support money as he’s supposed to, I would be able to help you, but I can’t.” Clearly someone is lying here. My father is horrible with his money, so there is a chance he simply isn’t paying what he says he is. However, there’s also the chance that he really is paying what he’s supposed to, and my mom is just pocketing the money/using it to pay for her scrapbooking supplies and essential oils.
No matter what the case may be, I don’t trust either of my parents, and I’m upset because I could be living somewhat comfortably while I’m in school. Instead I’m out thousands of dollars and scrambling to pay rent every month. Is there any way for me to legally make my father just give me the child support money, instead of it having to go through my mom? Or is it perfectly legal for my mom to keep whatever money my dad gives her and spend it however she pleases? I’ve been over the parental neglect for a long time, but I want to know if I’m entitled to this money or not. Thanks in advance and please ask any questions you have. | Mis padres se separaron en 2012 y oficialmente se divorciaron en 2014, y mi padre supuestamente le paga dinero de manutención a mi madre.Desde entonces resido legalmente con mi madre, y en la escuela secundaria visité a mi padre un par de días a la semana.En todo el instituto mi madre se quejaba constantemente de que mi padre no le pagaba el dinero de manutención como se suponía que debía, lo que honestamente no le daba mucho, porque mi vida era adecuada y no tenía que pagar nada.En algún momento en 2016-2017 mi madre llevó a mi padre a la corte y le ordenó que le devolviera todo el dinero de manutención que debía.Mis padres son muy reservados, por lo que desafortunadamente esta es toda la información que tengo.Todo lo que sé es que desde entonces, ambos padres se quejan de estar rotos en lugar de solo uno de ellos.Cuando los pagos de matrícula universitaria se debían durante mis dos primeros años, se convirtieron en una gran experiencia.A partir de mi segundo año en adelante, siempre ha sido de 600 dólares o menos.Todavía estoy perplejo por el hecho de que mis padres me dijeron que no podían pagar por ayudar, y me hicieron pagar la mayoría si no todo (o me prestaron el dinero y me hicieron pagar de nuevo).Mi padre hace casi un cheque de seis dígitos y debería estar pagando a mi madre una cantidad considerable de manutención mensual, que idealmente debería haberse reservado para mis facturas de la universidad mientras no vivía en casa y tenía cero gastos de otra manera.Desde 2018 he estado viviendo efectivamente por mi cuenta.Cada vez que visito casa mi padre trae el mismo tema: “Realmente deberías hablar con tu madre y pedirle que te diera el dinero que le he estado pagando.La mitad de ella es para tu hermano y el resto debe ser para ti.”He intentado tener esta discusión con mi madre (que se ha vuelto a casa y ha estado desempleada por al menos tres años) y terminó conmigo casi pateando fuera de casa.Mis dos padres me pagaron los gastos de mi coche cuando se rompió el año pasado, por lo que estoy muy agradecido.Aparte de eso, he visto que básicamente no se me dijo que se debía reservar nada de este dinero para mis gastos.Mi problema es que cada vez que visito mi casa y pido ayuda financiera (que mis padres me critican por no hacer más a menudo) siempre es la misma respuesta.De mi padre es “Ya le doy a tu mamá tanto dinero, no tengo nada que darte”.De mi madre es “si tu padre me paga tanto dinero de manutención como se supone que tiene que hacer, yo podría ayudarte, pero no puedo”. Claramente alguien está mintiendo aquí.Mi padre es horrible con su dinero, así que hay una oportunidad de que simplemente no pague lo que él dice que es.Sin embargo, también hay la posibilidad de que realmente pague lo que se supone que mi madre está mintiendo aquí.Mi padre es horrible con su dinero, así que hay una oportunidad de que no pague lo que dice que es.¿Hay alguna manera para mí legalmente hacer que mi padre sólo me da el dinero de manutención de los hijos, en lugar de tener que pasar por mi mamá?O es perfectamente legal para mi mamá para guardar cualquier dinero que mi padre le da y gastarlo como ella le plazca?He estado sobre la negligencia de los padres durante mucho tiempo, pero quiero saber si tengo derecho a este dinero o no. Gracias por adelantado y por favor hacer cualquier pregunta que tenga. |

I was signed with two other people on the lease. On that date, the landlord and I had what I said was a "final walk through". This was to ask if anything else needed to be done before he considered the lease, and move out provisions, completed. He had me sweep a bedroom, and wipe the fridge. My roommate was to take out the bins on the next garbage day, which he did. I happily did those things, and assumed we were good to go as he left and did not come back for over an hour. Here is the text of that email I was sent:
>I have a couple of issues regarding the refund of the security deposit. I would like your thoughts on this.
>1. City violation for snow removal / grass that remains unpaid. I can deduct this from the deposit.
>2. When you guys moved in you requested approval to add gravel to the backyard for additional parking and I agreed to this as you told me that it would be removed at your move-out. The gravel and additional tire ruts remain in the yard. The issue is it's rather difficult to repair in the middle of winter so I'm not entirely certain what this will cost in the spring when repairs can be made. Given the fact that gravel will need to be removed and topsoil brought in to repair a large area I suspect it will not be cheap. How would you like to handle this?
I am open for us to pay the city violations, as I know that was our responsibility. We did not agree to repair or replace any part of the lawn, we asked to put gravel down as there was not enough parking for three cars, and it would extend the gravel drive that was already there. What is the implication of him only sending this message to me, and obviously I do not want to agree to anything that was not in writing, nor explained to us when we agreed on it.
Edit: He also had said that we could garden, landscape, etc freely. I don't know if this could fall under that agreement also.

I have been renting from her for the last 18 years, I am a single mom on disability. Several years ago, my Social Security was reworked and I was pleasantly surprised to find I had a $10,000 payout. My first idea was to treat my daughter to a trip to New York/Broadway since I would NEVER be able to do anything like that. But she talked me out of it. Was, for a change, really nice to me.
That's another thing. Our relationship is tenuous at best. Imagine growing up hearing "you can't" about just about anything your life, the cold silence of when you do the slightest thing that displeases her, etc. So when I get this money, she's talking about how it would make better sense to fix up my house (note: it's her trailer I'm renting. Two bedroom for $275 a month.) So, wanting something nicer, I start painting the kitchen, living room, and my bedroom. I tear up the carpet in my bedroom and the living room and I PAY for new vinyl flooring throughout, except my daughter's room. She wanted to keep her carpet. I replaced the big tub, had the flooring fix because of a leak, and got a new toilet. I did get a new TV, had a local man make me a desk and TV stand and bed frame. And paid for her to get a sewing desk made by the same guy that she never uses. That was several years ago. Recently I've taken out a loan and paid off a new Air Conditioner. $4k.
The problem is, my mother has always been super controlling and I'm only recently getting better at standing up and setting boundaries. But when I get fed up and talk about taking the stuff I pay for out, but cutting up the floor since I paid for it, she's very fast at reminding me that "This is my place!" Funny because to give the illusion of independence, she calls it mine, though it's not in my name nor my daughter's. She comes in whenever she wishes. And if it's her place, shouldn't she have paid for all these repairs and not me?! I should have done what I wanted with the money. Looking back I think, damn that would have been a nice down payment on a house and I could be away from her. I don't know if there's anything I can do. She's not working anymore and doesn't have money.

$250 Pet fee
$1000 Rent
$50 NSF Fee
I am SO confused. When we first moved into the apartment we paid a non refundable pet fee ($250). We were told it was $250 per animal and even though we had two cats we were only charged for one. Can he collect over a year later now that we are planning on moving out for our other cat that he knew about from the beginning? Why werent we charged then?
I found this regarding pet deposits:
http://www.justice.gov.sk.ca/ORT-PetFees
It says "The total security deposit, including any pet deposit, collected by a landlord at the beginning of the tenancy" does this mean he cant charge us again later?
I let him know on the 27th of August that September would be our last month of staying in the apartment. We paid first and last months rent when we moved in. Why are we being charged for rent when he should just be taking it out of our last months rent that we have already paid?
I have no idea what the NSF Fee is.
I have emailed him about this and plan to call when the offices open but I guess I'm freaking out inside. These are charges that we didnt think we would have. because we have already paid them. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I kinda figured this was bs, my friends were making an extra six hundred a week on unemployment and I really could have used that money but I told myself “just be thankful you’re getting paid at all” and that was the end of it for a while.
Multiple weeks later once I’m recovered I return to work to find a stack of paychecks waiting for me, and I learned he basically used up all my vacation, my sick days, any pto I had for the year paying me in my absence. I was annoyed by this, and while i thought of it as a super dick move, I didn’t really think it was illegal, but multiple people have told me it is. I really don’t understand employment laws at all especially in these strange times, so if anyone can clear this up for me I’d be super grateful!

Así que para mantener una larga historia lo más corta posible, me puse a prueba positivo para covid 19 en las primeras semanas del bloqueo, le informé a mi empleador que probablemente me iría un número de semanas y que iba a solicitar el desempleo y me dijo que no podía hacer eso y que él me cuidaría de mí. Me imaginé que esto era bs, mis amigos estaban haciendo un extra de seiscientos a la semana sobre el desempleo y que realmente podría haber utilizado ese dinero, pero me dije a mí mismo “sólo estar agradecido de que te están pagando en absoluto” y que era el final de todo por un tiempo. Varias semanas después, una vez que me recuperaron volví a trabajar para encontrar una pila de cheques de pago que me esperaban, y aprendí que básicamente se había utilizado todas mis vacaciones, mis días de enfermedad, cualquier pto que tenía para el año que me pagaba en mi ausencia. Me molestó esto, y mientras pensaba en ello como un super movimiento de polla, ¡no pensé realmente que era ilegal, pero muchas personas me han dicho que es.

My parked car was hit on Thanksgiving, my sister-in-law witnessed the incident. My wife calls PD, files report and gives officer shell of passenger mirror that came from the perps vehicle.
Sunday night we are out and see vehicle matching description of our perp with matching damages to passenger side and missing mirror shell.
Followed perp to residence, got plate number and pictures.
After waiting a week I was able to reach an on duty officer on Thursday night. I told him where to find the vehicle in question, the mirror shell matched the vehicle perfectly.
They found the owner and found out she doesn't have insurance. The owner claimed she wasn't the one driving but wouldn't give the name of the individual who was. Officer told us the report would be ready monday. It wasn't. Hopefully tomorrow.
What happens next?
How do we get he money to cover the costs of repair (estimated $3900)
What tickets/charges will the owner of the car receive?
Can we try to get the money outside of a court or insurance company if we tried a contract/payment plan?

He’s been a chief for two years but has zero fire experience (he was an EMT for 2 years before being fired). I am friends with my town’s firefighters, and there were incidents where the chief fired full units of firefighters for speaking out against his practices.

There are many instances where we try to get our city board members to vote him out, but a 3/5th majority seem complacent.

He also parks his RV amongst the other fire vehicles and lets family sleep there. He’s brazen and just does whatever he wants.
I am unsure how to go about this. A majority of our city believe he is corrupt because he has been able to give himself large bonuses with ease, and some are suspecting he’s secretly embezzling the firefighter’s food fund.

The actual fine comes to only $35, however there are all sorts of extra charges listed, (E.M.S. / Surcharge Costs / J.C.P. / A.T.J. fees) which drive up my total fine to $138.50!

1,475,415,369 | https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/55i8l4/ca_my_traffic_ticket_disappeared/ | 55i8l4 | Hey there, /r/legaladvice. This is kind of a silly question, but I'm paranoid, so I thought I'd ask for tips.
About 2 months ago, I was driving in my mom's neighborhood when I "ran a red light." (I did, but the light changed while I was in the intersection, so I continued through.) I was immediately pulled over. I tried to explain my reasoning to the cop, but he wasn't having it and issued me a ticket. Bummer.
I know it's a long shot, but I decided I wanted to fight the ticket, so I sent in a request for a trial by written declaration, as I live internationally. The court wrote back saying that there was no ticket. I was concerned that I'd mistyped the ticket number, so I used my local court website to search for any tickets online (by my name and DOB) -- no tickets. Hooray?
How long does it usually take for a traffic ticket to enter the system? At what point can I just say "PHEW!" and move on?
Like I said, I live overseas, so I gave the officer my mom's address (and explained why). This makes me kind of nervous, because it means I rely on my mom to notice my ticket in the mail. I really don't want to let my guard down, only to be faced with a suspended license and 2 gazillion USD in fees when I come back to CA in 9 mo.

1,576,125,401 | https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/e9issd/hourly_wage_cut_back/ | e9issd | I work at store in the local mall. There is a high turn over rate because ... Well it's the mall and it's geared towards teenagers so they don't pay much, but only hire those 18+. Anyways, I have been there over a year now but was given the Lead position around Sept/Oct of 2018 so my wages should have gone from 9.20 to 9.55 per hour. But I was given 9.95 which was approved by the National Manager at the time. The reason being (from my understanding) was because for over a month the store was without a manager because the third one up and quit with zero notice so I was it in charge of running the store. I couldn't do much cuz I had 2 other jobs at the time but I did interview a few people, run deposits, check schedules, work with National Manager and make sure everyone was doing their job by typing up memos and reports. I was offered the manager position but I didn't feel like the candy store was where I wanted to be so I declined.
Ntl Manager finally finds a new manager after a month and I train her in how we run everything.
Around May of this year I was offered a FT job elsewhere. I turned in my two weeks to this store and my other jobs but a few days after doing so I decided I wanted to keep the mall job for the extra money (it was paying the most and fit perfectly with my FT job). The new manager said this was fine and would let the National Manager know. I now work part time in the evenings and stayed on as the Lead.
I would say about 1 month later (I'm not certain when, I'll have to check my paystubs) My wages went from 9.95 to 9.55. I asked why but was never given an answer. Had no success in contacting the National Manager and the new manager had 0 information. The National Manager left and a new one came on around August so there's no way to contact the old one.
My question is, what can I do to get my previous wages back? I assume they were cut because they thought I was leaving but that doesn't seem fair to cut my wages WHILE I'm still there, and without giving me notice!
I don't want to take legal action, but I would like more understanding as to what I can do and the legality of the whole situation. Thanks for reading this far and I know I can quit but that's not what I'm asking. Cheers! | Hourly wage cut back! | business | 0 | train | Hourly wage cut back!

He placed his private part into her mouth and she spit it out after 1-2 seconds. She placed her hands on his thighs and said “stop” and then said “no, I don’t do head”. He then grabbed her hand and helped her give him a hand job and said “this is how I like it” and “this is how to do it”. Somehow he stopped, got off of her, and unzipped himself.

My husband said 5 minutes before the meeting his boss came out and said he needed to speak with a coworker first and then closed his door and never came out the rest of the day. The policy of the office was that a closed door meant a phone call or meeting and served as a do not disturb sign, so my husband didn’t want to barge in.

I know I did not have a bedbug problem before moving in. Within a month of moving in I found some bedbugs in one of the bedrooms and brought this to the landlords attention. The property manager told me nothing she could do and to take care of the problem myself. So I did some research and did just that and seemed to take care of the problem, it was not that bad or so I thought.
That was in August. Well the bedbugs are back so I called Orkin to get a professional opinion and the guy told me he could do a treatment but he would feel real bad charging me $600 for it as he couldn't even tell bugs had been in the room ( I really scorched earth in there gf hates bugs) and it wasn't necessary just continue what I'm doing. Then the Orkin guy contacted the property manager about his inspection of the apartment. She flipped out to put it mildly. Complete opposite of when I told her of the bugs in August.
She demanded the apartment be treated by her contracted Orkin guy (apparently the complex has a contract with Orkin which I did not know previously) and the Orkin guy I had inspect can't be trusted as its not her contracted guy that did the inspection. I told her I can't afford the treatment which a pest control professional told me would be a waste of money and I didnt cause the problem but if she wants to pay for it and get it done thats fine but she is insisting that I caused the problem and is going to have it done and charged to me regardless.
How do I prove I didnt cause the bedbugs ? I've only found them in the one bedroom and every piece of furniture in there was brand new. Sadly I didn't save receipts.
Property manager is being real shady to. When I talked to her a few days ago she agreed to have her guy come inspect as she "doesnt know my guy" on Friday but he never showed and then she waited until really late in the evening to post a notice on my door (while I was at work) they are coming to do the treatment on Monday with a huge list of "require" things I have to do.

Been renting about 15 years and I've never had a problem before now. Lesson learned | Landlord tying to make me pay for bedbug removal (WA, USA) | housing | 7 | train | Landlord tying to make me pay for bedbug removal (WA, USA)
[Washington state laws](http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=59.18.060) says that the landlord must pay for pest control UNLESS its caused by the tenant.
I know I did not have a bedbug problem before moving in. Within a month of moving in I found some bedbugs in one of the bedrooms and brought this to the landlords attention. The property manager told me nothing she could do and to take care of the problem myself. So I did some research and did just that and seemed to take care of the problem, it was not that bad or so I thought.
That was in August. Well the bedbugs are back so I called Orkin to get a professional opinion and the guy told me he could do a treatment but he would feel real bad charging me $600 for it as he couldn't even tell bugs had been in the room ( I really scorched earth in there gf hates bugs) and it wasn't necessary just continue what I'm doing. Then the Orkin guy contacted the property manager about his inspection of the apartment. She flipped out to put it mildly. Complete opposite of when I told her of the bugs in August.
She demanded the apartment be treated by her contracted Orkin guy (apparently the complex has a contract with Orkin which I did not know previously) and the Orkin guy I had inspect can't be trusted as its not her contracted guy that did the inspection. I told her I can't afford the treatment which a pest control professional told me would be a waste of money and I didnt cause the problem but if she wants to pay for it and get it done thats fine but she is insisting that I caused the problem and is going to have it done and charged to me regardless.
How do I prove I didnt cause the bedbugs ? I've only found them in the one bedroom and every piece of furniture in there was brand new. Sadly I didn't save receipts.
Property manager is being real shady to. When I talked to her a few days ago she agreed to have her guy come inspect as she "doesnt know my guy" on Friday but he never showed and then she waited until really late in the evening to post a notice on my door (while I was at work) they are coming to do the treatment on Monday with a huge list of "require" things I have to do.

Lesson learned | El dueño de la casa que me hizo pagar la remoción de chinches (WA, EE.UU.)[Leyes del estado de Washington](http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=59.18.060) dice que el propietario debe pagar por el control de plagas UNLESS su causado por el inquilino.Sé que no tuve un problema de chinches antes de mudarme.En un mes de mudarme encontré algunas chinches en una de las habitaciones y traje esto a la atención de los propietarios.El administrador de la propiedad no me dijo nada que ella pudiera hacer y que yo mismo me ocupara del problema.Así que hice una investigación y me pareció que se ocupaba del problema, no fue tan malo ni eso pensé.Eso fue en agosto.Bueno, las chinches están de vuelta, así que llamé a Orkin para obtener una opinión profesional y el tipo me dijo que podía hacer un tratamiento, pero se sentía muy mal acusándome $600 por lo que ni siquiera podía decir a los bichos que había estado en la habitación (realizado allí gfs) y me dijo que era necesario hacer un tratamiento.Ella pidió que el apartamento fuera tratado por su contratado Orkin chico (aparentemente el complejo tiene un contrato con Orkin que no sabía anteriormente) y el Orkin chico que tenía inspección no se puede confiar como su no contratado chico que hizo la inspección.Le dije que no puedo pagar el tratamiento que un profesional de control de plagas me dijo que sería un desperdicio de dinero y yo no causé el problema, pero si ella quiere pagar por ello y conseguir que se hace eso es muy bien, pero ella está insistiendo en que yo causé el problema y va a tener que hacer y me cargan a pesar de todo.¿Cómo puedo demostrar que no causé las chinches de cama?Sólo los he encontrado en el dormitorio y cada pieza de mobiliario en allí era nuevo.Lamentablemente no guardar recibos.La gerente de la propiedad está siendo muy sospechoso a.Cuando hablé con ella hace unos pocos días ella estaba de acuerdo en que su chico venir inspeccionar como ella "no conoce a mi chico" el viernes pero nunca se mostró y luego ella esperó hasta muy tarde para publicar un aviso a mi puerta.Realmente no tengo mucho en la forma de la documentación de mi propia estupidez.Haber alquilado unos 15 años y nunca he tenido un problema antes de ahora.Lesson aprendió |

1,575,596,296 | https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/e6rh04/ontario_canada_sublet_damaged_furniture_and_wont/ | e6rh04 | Hi all,
Sorry in advance for the super long post, I am just so stressed right now I don’t know what to do.
TL;DR subleaser won’t own up to their mistakes in paying for damages made by their pet. I have to pay out of my own pocket. What can I do to get the money back?
So I’m currently leasing an apartment (student housing) with 2 other people. I subleased the apartment to another person for 4 months (May-August which is a common thing to do in my area). The sublet had a pet who damaged the walls, chairs, etc. They were able to repair everything, but 4 chairs are very scratched up and you can clearly tell it was the pet that damaged them.
Unfortunately, I don’t have have pictures of what it looked like before the damages (which I give myself hell for every single day) so technically there’s no photo proof. However, the scratch patterns across all four chairs is exactly the same (there’s literally no way a person could make those scratches unless they have strong claws) and my roommates also are proof (because they lived in the apartment while I was away).
Now, the damages come up to ~$1000 because they need to be fully replaced. I know this is a big amount especially for students, but in the end you have to be responsible for your actions.
Also, inspection for our apartment is usually done when a lease has ended, but because we knew of the damages, we asked if inspection can be done when the sublet moved out. This makes sense because if I had the inspection done at the end of my lease, which doesn’t end for another year, the subleaser could’ve easily said it wasn’t their fault as eight months have past since they moved out. They are also giving me shit for why I asked an inspection to be done earlier than the end of my lease.
Anyways, I told them the cost and they were completely against paying, saying that first it wasn’t the pet and basically made a bunch of excuses. Everyone knows it was the pet and they can’t get away with lying about it. We have been going back and forth about paying for over 4 months: them getting extremely upset (saying I chose to f them over and have short term mindedness, etc - their words not mine which ngl really hurt lol), me extending deadlines for them, calling rental housing legal people to ask if the cost can be decreased, etc. The sublet even gave me their “word”, saying that if I can show them the actual cost of the chairs, they’ll pay. Which I did because it’s in the lease I signed with the management. Although they were not made aware of the specific costs (because I didn’t think something like this would happen), in the sublease it states that they are responsible for any damages made by them.
The legal advise I received told me that there’s nothing else that I can do (the management gave monthly payment deadlines to help divide the cost and the cost is written in the lease so it can’t be changed). The lease I signed is with the management, and the lease the sublet signed is under me. So I am responsible for anything that happens.
I tried being as accommodating as possible, but the cost cannot be changed and they also had over four months to save up in case the price didn’t go down (I am also not trying to make any assumptions, but they have a pretty good coop job right now and if you have to pay ~200/month, it doesn’t seem too harsh). I am under so much pressure right now because I am not working due to school and it’s also exam season. I can’t rely on my parents for money because my dad hasn’t been working for a month (broke his arm, thus have no main income), and I just don’t want to add extra stressors to them.
So, I told them the final decision that they have to pay the full amount by the deadlines that the management provided and said if they still don’t agree to it, I will have to take the legal route and take this to small claims court.
After even more bantering back and forth, ultimately they said don’t contact me again.
I now have to pay the management for the damages out of my pocket because the deadline is fast approaching (I don’t have any other choice).
I am literally so stressed right now I don’t know what to do. I can’t even concentrate on exams because of this. Do I have to go to the small claims court? If so, I know there’s a ~$100 fee... can I later ask the sublet to pay for any additional costs?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, sorry I explained everything in a weird order, just trying to explain everything. | Ontario, Canadá: subarriendo muebles dañados y no pagará Hola a todos, Lo siento por adelantado por el super largo post, estoy tan estresado en este momento que no sé qué hacer.TL; subleaser DR no se hará cargo de sus errores en el pago de los daños hechos por su mascota.Tengo que pagar de mi propio bolsillo.¿Qué puedo hacer para recuperar el dinero?Así que actualmente estoy alquilando un apartamento (vivienda estudiantil) con otras dos personas.Yo sublease el apartamento a otra persona durante 4 meses (mayo-agosto que es una cosa común que hacer en mi área).El subarriendo tenía una mascota que dañó las paredes, sillas, etc. Fueron capaces de reparar todo, pero 4 sillas están muy arañadas y se puede decir claramente que fue la mascota que los dañó.Desafortunadamente, no tengo fotos de lo que parecía antes de los daños (que me doy a mí mismo por cada día), así que técnicamente no hay prueba de que fue la mascota.Sé que esto es una gran cantidad especialmente para los estudiantes, pero al final tienes que ser responsable de tus acciones.También, la inspección de nuestro apartamento se hace generalmente cuando un contrato de arrendamiento ha terminado, pero debido a que sabíamos de los daños, preguntamos si la inspección se puede hacer cuando el subarriendo se mudó.Esto tiene sentido porque si yo tenía la inspección hecha al final de mi contrato, que no termina por otro año, el subaleaser podría haber dicho fácilmente que no fue su culpa como ocho meses han pasado desde que se mudaron.También me están dando mierda por qué pedí una inspección que se hizo antes que el final de mi contrato de arrendamiento.De todos modos, les he dicho el costo y estaban completamente en contra de pagar, diciendo que primero no fue la mascota y básicamente hizo un montón de excusas.Todos saben que era la mascota y no pueden salirse con la mentira sobre él.Hemos ido y adelante sobre pagar por más de 4 meses: ellos se puso muy molesto (diciendo que elegí para f ellos y tener mente a corto plazo, etc.El subarriendo me dio incluso su “palabra”, diciendo que si puedo mostrarles el costo real de las sillas, lo pagarán.Lo que hice porque está en el contrato de arrendamiento que firmo con la dirección.Aunque no se les hizo saber los costos específicos (porque no pensé que algo así ocurriría), en el subarriendo se afirma que son responsables de cualquier daño hecho por ellos.El consejo legal que recibí me dijo que no hay nada más que pueda hacer (la dirección dio plazos de pago mensuales para ayudar a dividir el costo y el costo está escrito en el contrato de arrendamiento para que no pueda ser cambiado).El contrato de arrendamiento que fijé es con la dirección, y el alquiler que el subarriendo firmado está bajo mí.Así que soy responsable de cualquier cosa que suceda. Traté de ser tan complaciente como sea posible, pero el costo no puede ser cambiado y también tenían más de cuatro meses para ahorrar en caso de que el precio no bajara (también estoy tratando de hacer cualquier suposición, pero tienen un buen trabajo ahora y si tienes que pagar ~200/mes).No puedo confiar en mis padres para el dinero porque mi padre no ha estado trabajando durante un mes (robé su brazo, por lo tanto no tienen ningún ingreso principal), y simplemente no quiero agregar estresadores adicionales a ellos.Así que, les dije la decisión final de que tienen que pagar la cantidad completa en los plazos que la administración proporcionó y dijo que si todavía no están de acuerdo con él, voy a tener que tomar el camino legal y llevar esto a la corte de reclamos pequeños.Después de incluso más bromas de ida y vuelta, en última instancia dijeron que no me contacten de nuevo.Ahora tengo que pagar la gestión por los daños de mi bolsillo porque el plazo se acerca rápidamente (no tengo otra opción).Estoy literalmente tan estresado ahora no sé qué hacer.No puedo concentrarme en exámenes debido a esto.¿Tengo que ir a la corte de reclamos pequeños?Si es así, sé que hay una cuota de ~ 100 dólares...puedo pedir más tarde al sublete para pagar cualquier costo adicional?Cualquier ayuda o consejo sería muy apreciado.Además, lo siento todo en un orden raro, sólo tratar de explicar todo. |

Location: USA | Otro conductor fue culpable, no tenía vehículo, no devuelve llamadas al ajustador. Yo estaba en la parte trasera terminado cuando se detuvo en una luz roja hace unas noches. El otro conductor estaba claramente en la culpa y admitió que él "golpeó un parche de hielo" a la policía. Al tratar con la compañía de seguros que proporcionó, he aprendido que el coche no era suyo. No tienen ninguna razón para creer que fue robado, pero dijeron que no pueden proceder hasta que sepan de él. El ajustador dijo que es posible que no pueden pagar nada en absoluto. Mi pasajero y yo ambos tenemos dolor de cuello / dolor de cabeza unos días más tarde, pero tienen miedo de ir a ver a un médico porque estamos en ingresos limitados y si no pagan que realmente podría hacer la vida horrible. Parece una locura que en esta situación es posible que podríamos conseguir nada, ni siquiera daños para el vehículo. |

I've signed nondisclosure agreements before, but I've never seen one that explicitly outlays monetary damages for a violation of the agreement. Here's the language:
>[CONSULTANT (me)] agrees to keep confidential all customer lists, trade secrets, and other confidential material such as our policies and procedures, promotion strategies, pricing structure, and any material posted on our private networking pages, discussed orally, or conveyed in e-mail. . . .
>Consultant agrees to pay minimum damages of $15,000 if such a confidentiality violation is discovered, and an additional actual damage amount if Network operations and/or other consultants are proved to be harmed by such violation of confidentiality.
>Should the Consultant leave the Network, the Consultant agrees not to . . . utilize the verbiage, information, business setup, or marketing strategies (etc.) learned through association with the Network.
The liability here seems very vague. Nowhere in the agreement does it mention "reasonable attempts" at maintaining confidentiality, nor is there specific language about enforceability (specifically: how and where is a "violation" of a breach proven?).
So:
*Is it prudent to proceed without more specific language around enforceability and jurisdiction and litigation/arbitration/mediation?
*Is "and any material posted . . . discussed orally, or conveyed in e-mail" too broad?
*Regarding that last paragraph, "learned through association" seems vague but favorably so. There's no way to prove what I did or did not "learn" directly from the agency, is there?

A month and some change before the end of our lease at the end of August my landlord called me to ask we could end the lease early as there was a foreign family scheduled to move in after us who apparently desperately needed to move in early. After talking it over with my roommates, we decided to not end the lease early because some of us had various obligations that made moving out early a hassle and the situations seemed a bit shady on our landlord's part. I move out a month early and called gave my landlord my key the day I moved out. Everyone else was out of the house at that moment but their stuff was still there. One of my roommates comes by later that night to get some of his stuff to his parent's house who live close by. The foreign family that could not communicate in English very well were in the house. So he eventually gets a hold of the landlord and she tells him that I told her that it was ok for them to move in. The rest of my roommates end up rushing to get out of the house within the week as they didn't trust their stuff with strangers. I did not say it was ok for the family to move in, but we chalked it up to miscommunication and did not pay the rent for August since we all moved out. Over the course of the next month we had a really hard time contacting our landlord to do a walkthrough of the house, she wouldn't respond to my or my roommates text or calls. She finally responds saying she'll write up the list of damages. We figured she was gonna try and grime us on damages or that last month's rent but the last roomate took pictures on his way out. 30 days after our lease and 50 and some change days after we all were out, we still have not received an itemized expense list. I texted her asking for the deposit in full as we're legally entitled to at this point. She says she is getting a divorce and can't pay us even if we sue as her money is tied up. She gave me the number to her divorce lawyer whom I called in the middle of the week but has not responded to me. I'm thinking of going to small claims court anyways as the fees aren't too much and there is no lawyer required. Seems like a straight forward case on that end, but my question is can we actually get the money back in a reasonable amount of time?

| Al final de nuestro contrato de arrendamiento, el propietario de la casa tenía sombra.Para prefacio, esto es en Pittsburgh.4 otros compañeros de piso y yo alquilaba una casa por $2000 al mes con un depósito de $4000.Un mes y algo de cambio antes del final de nuestro contrato de arrendamiento a finales de agosto, mi casero me llamó para pedir que pudiésemos terminar el contrato de alquiler temprano, ya que había una familia extranjera programada para mudarse después de nosotros que aparentemente necesitaban mudarse temprano.Después de hablarlo con mis compañeros de piso, decidimos no terminar el contrato de alquiler temprano porque algunos de nosotros teníamos varias obligaciones que hacían que se mudaran temprano una molestia y las situaciones parecían un poco sombrías por parte de nuestro propietario.Yo me mudé un mes antes y llamé a mi casero el día que me mudé.Todos los demás estaban fuera de la casa en ese momento, pero sus cosas todavía estaban allí.Uno de mis compañeros de piso vino más tarde esa noche para llevar algunas de sus cosas a la casa de sus padres que vivían cerca.El resto de mis compañeros de piso terminan corriendo para salir de la casa dentro de la semana, ya que no confiaron en sus cosas con extraños.No dije que estaba bien que la familia se mudara, pero lo calibramos a mal comunicación y no pagamos el alquiler para agosto ya que todos nos mudamos.Durante el próximo mes tuvimos un tiempo muy difícil de contactar con nuestro propietario para hacer un paseo por la casa, ella no respondía a mi o mis compañeros de piso o llamadas.Finalmente responde diciendo que escribirá la lista de daños y perjuicios.Pensamos que iba a tratar de rebajarnos por daños o por el alquiler del mes pasado, pero el último compañero de piso tomó fotos en su salida.30 días después de nuestro contrato y 50 y algunos días de cambio después de que todos estábamos fuera, todavía no hemos recibido una lista detallada de gastos.Le envié un mensaje pidiendo el depósito en su totalidad, ya que estamos legalmente autorizados a hacerlo.Parece un caso directo en ese extremo, pero mi pregunta es, ¿podemos recuperar el dinero en un tiempo razonable? |

We were never notified of why or when this happened, but at one point four years ago the property was bought by a new holder.
We paid a deposit to the first landlords, but not the second. At the time of the changeover, the new landlords told us to send our rent payments to them, so we did. We never paid a deposit to the new landlords, but the contract they had us sign states that they were paid a deposit fee.
We're now moving out of the townhome and the new landlords are saying that since we didn't pay them the deposit they don't owe us one. I'm wondering where did our original deposit go then? The contract we signed with the first landlord doesn't state what happens if they just sell the house to some random bank, and from a bank to a new landlord.

I am not well versed in my state's laws but i do know there is a minimum 30 days for renters to move. | (KY) El casero quiere que nos mudemos en enero porque él está poniendo la casa que alquilamos a la venta Nuestro propietario nos dijo en agosto que teníamos 5 meses para reunirnos y mudarnos porque tenía planes de vender la casa que alquilamos en enero. Mi mamá recibió un mensaje esta noche que él le está recordando sus planes para listar la casa. A pesar de que él nos dio tiempo suficiente (nos teníamos que ir a trabajar, estábamos actualmente en casa) para encontrar una nueva casa pero entonces la huelga GM ocurrió y tuvimos que mover lugares de trabajo (trabajamos como temporales actualmente, a punto de ir a tiempo completo en la nueva planta automotriz en la que trabajamos) que era un poco menos paga que lo que estábamos trayendo a casa. ¿Tenemos que mudarnos tan pronto como él lista la casa o es sólo cuando él vende la casa? No estoy bien versado en las leyes de mi estado, pero sé que hay un mínimo de 30 días para los inquilinos para mover. |

I have called my bank and disputed the charge and will provide them with the lease agreement (which I have the only signed copy, which also shows the property owns DID NOT SIGN despite my signature being there). So my charge can be returned to me.

The problem is, they give me these tiny receipts which ive taken to trowing away when it come time to pay the next rent.

I figure since im paying again in a week, ill have a little paper that shows there is no previous balance etc.
ive never missed a payment as well. According to my landlord my next door neighbors, as well as apparently many other of their tenants do bot pay rent at all. And they claim to have been too nice to kick them out. (Even though they have plenty of reason to kick out my neighbors even if they did pay rent)
The apartment that i live in is in disrepair and my landlords have not followed through on almost any promises to fix the things that are broken. But i dont have money to move since im a full time student. Since theyre old, ive brushed this off. I dont know if this is relevant at all.
What can i do moving forward? Obviously if everything works out eep the receipts. They told me they’re gonna check their personal receipts (which idk why they didnt before calling me) and see if their carbon copy is there. If they say they dont have it, im going to ask if theyll call the grandson who collected the payment. I will also offer the things i stated above to support what im saying.
If it comes down to it, should i just give them a second payment of rent this month and pray i make it until august when i start my campus job again?? Or should i do something else.

In 2012 my son was taken by Social Services because my husband was arrested for assaulting me. SS claimed I was putting my son in danger by having in a home where I was being abused. I was charged with child abuse and neglect for staying with my husband. My husband was not the father to my 1st son, we met when I was pregnant.
My husband and I had a child together later on that same year. SS told me that if I left my husband I could have my 1st son back, and not worry about losing the baby I had just had. I stayed with my husband and was not allowed to have any contact with my 1st son that was taken and put in foster care.
Earlier this year I left my abusive husband, almost 2 years after my 1st son was taken from me. My husband refused to let me see my son (the child we had together). I filed for custody, and the judge granted joint custody, and we would switch him back and forth. The judge ordered random drug screen for both of us. we would come back in 3 months....
3 months later in court...My husband failed 2 out of 4 drug tests. The 4th test came back "too watered to be tested" so they said it was automatically clean (WTF?) and the judge says "We'll continue the visitations with the mother and discontinue social services and drug tests".

Are they able to make this sort of requirement out of no-where?

I'm sorry if my formatting turns into a brick wall.
It starts around the age of 8 through 10 or 11 years old I was sexually abused. I did not know I was being abused, I didn't know it was wrong, I was a child. High school came around and I started learning about sex. I was very sports oriented throughout school so boys were never interested me. I never explored or learned much about human sexuality.

I will start with a short backstory. I'm not looking for pity or to get anyone in trouble. But the burden of this pain on my shoulders is getting too heavy to carry.
I'm sorry if my formatting turns into a brick wall.
It starts around the age of 8 through 10 or 11 years old I was sexually abused. I did not know I was being abused, I didn't know it was wrong, I was a child. High school came around and I started learning about sex. I was very sports oriented throughout school so boys were never interested me. I never explored or learned much about human sexuality. When I was 15, I realized that what had happened when I was younger was wrong.

I didnt get paid today. This isnt the first time it happened, but it is the first time the owner said it is going to be middle to late next week before he can pay me. It's only happened once or twice before, but we were paid on Saturday morning. Me and one other person are the only ones who didnt get paid.
Apparently the owner spent all the money we had on himself and didnt care to check the cash flows going into the holiday season. We dont have much work lined up, the bank account is over drawn, he already owes money for the last periods pay roll that he has to pay back before he can pay us for this pay period. He is unable get a business loan at this time.
What are my obligations I have to keep with this company? Can I collect unemployment because he cant pay me? I'm mainly concerned because I've only worked here for almost 3 months. I plan on sticking it out because (from what I've read) you must work at a company for 1 quarter (3 months) before you're elidgeable for unemployment in MD. I'm less than 2 weeks away from that. I have a feeling the owner is going lay off a few other people soon based on a conversation I had with him today, and he did say my job is safe.
How long is a reasonable amount of time to give the owner to be able to pay me in terms of acting in good faith?
If the company goes under, how do I get the money that is owed to me? What if I get laid off and the owner doesn't have the money?
I am searching for employment elsewhere, but it's hard out there so I'm trying to figure out my options.

I could write a novel on this, but I will try to keeps things as concise and clear as possible, so as to best get my questions answered. Please free free to ask if more information is needed on anything!
\- I have been an assistant manager at a retail job for 10 months. While it has its quirks, I generally enjoy it and I do a good job there.
\-I had an injury to my eye this January and was out for 1.5 weeks but returned to work.
\-For the three months following that, I slowly fell increasingly ill to an underlying medical condition (I have a hunch that the injury set it off, but idk, and I am still in the fun process of being diagnosed). I pushed through a lot of the undesirable symptoms, but after too many ER visits and getting sent home from work constantly for illness, I approached my manager about making my hours temporarily part time until I could fulfill full time hours again. They agreed.
\-During this time, I supplied doctors notes, etc. and tried to be as communicative as possible about it.
\- About two weeks after my shorter hours have begun, I am told by my manager on a Wednesday that I need to have documents from a doctor stating my medical needs by that Saturday, or I would have to start back full time immediately.
\- I find a last minute appointment, but it conflicts with my Friday shift, so I get in communication with my manager about it. They blow up on me, say I shouldn't come in for any of my scheduled shifts, that I deserve to be fired, and that they better have the paperwork in their hand first thing in the morning. I am totally dazed by this outburst, but get them the paperwork that day and am told that they should have more info Monday.
\- I waited 1.5 weeks, but I hadn't heard from anyone until my co-worker texted to ask why I wasn't coming in for my "scheduled shifts". Although I was very hesitant about reaching out to my boss due to our last correspondence, I realized that I needed clarification and sent them an email asking for details about where I stand with the company. I didn't receive a reply.
\-2 days later, HR sent me an email saying they would like to chat on the phone. I reply trying to set up a time, but dont actually get to have a phone conversation with them until 3 weeks later. During these three weeks, I assumed I had been let go of due to their lack of communication and began to look for jobs suitable for my condition online (cause bills).
\-Today I spoke with HR. I'm pretty confused. They used a lot of technical jargon. They referred to the month I've been off work as my "leave" but no one had ever mentioned a medical leave to me before, and I let her know that I didn't request to take time off, just shorter hours. I felt like the way they spoke to me was designed to get the answers they wanted...its a weird thing to feel, but that's the best way to put it. At one point, they took something I said and twisted it into "So, what you're saying is, you're resigning?"....I answered no to this because it didn't feel right. They then said I had to immediately fill out FMLA forms and that I may have to go back to work under my old manager as soon as 4 days from now (even though that makes me terribly uncomfortable now). I loved my job and if I hadn't gotten sick I would still work there, so I don't want my record to say I quit, as it's definitely not that simple.
&#x200B;
My question is:...do you think my company is trying to get me to quit so they don't have to deal with a sick employee and all the accommodations/laws that surround it? I absolutely hate this feeling, but this has all snowballed to a level that I am unfamiliar with. All I know is that I feel like something about the situation is really....off. And if they are doing something sketchy, is it even worth pursuing? Is this a normal way for a company to act? or....ugh, idk haha.

We didn't notice the leak untill my wife moved a plastic container that was right next to it. I just paid the rent and literally cant afford moving from this place right now. Please is there is anyone that can give me any advice my family will appreciate it. | My family, specially my son, got sick for being exposed to mold | housing | 7 | train | My family, specially my son, got sick for being exposed to mold
I know nothing and literally I dont even know what to ask for. I just want to see my son (3) to breath healthy. Not see blood all over his nose because of the cogestion. Not hear him snoring all night because he cant breath, or wake up every hour crying because he cant sleep. Or the worst of them all, give him a medicine for over two months that was not working making him go through it everyday without knowing that it was not gonna help.

Sólo quiero ver a mi hijo (3) respirar sano. No ver sangre por toda su nariz debido a la cogestión. No escucharle roncar toda la noche porque no puede respirar, o despertarse cada hora llorando porque no puede dormir. O lo peor de todos ellos, darle un medicamento durante más de dos meses que no estaba trabajando que lo hiciera pasar por él todos los días sin saber que no iba a ayudar. Mi esposa y yo estamos descorazonados viendo hora hijo como este y él no entiende nada de lo que está pasando. Realmente no sé cuánto tiempo va a llevar a mi propietario a arreglar o limpiar la pared y alfombra moldeada. Literalmente estaba a pocos pasos de la pared afectada llena de molde negro. No nos dimos cuenta de la fuga hasta que mi esposa movió un contenedor plástico que estaba justo al lado. Acabo de pagar el alquiler y literalmente no puedo permitirme mudarme de este lugar ahora mismo. |

His partner has arranged his funeral. I have not had contact with him in 15 years and I believe I might be legal next of kin. I don't know his partner, if he had a will and I live in NJ. He didn't likely own any property or assets but more than likely has debt. My father has/had two living brothers that still reside in MI. Is it possible that I would inherit his debt? | Estranged father died, will I inherit his debts? (Michigan/NJ) | wills | 10 | train | Estranged father died, will I inherit his debts? (Michigan/NJ)

No he tenido contacto con él en 15 años y creo que podría ser un pariente más legal. No conozco a su pareja, si tenía un testamento y vivo en Nueva Jersey. Probablemente no era dueño de ninguna propiedad o activos, pero más que probable tiene deudas. Mi padre tiene/tenía dos hermanos vivos que todavía residen en el MI. ¿Es posible que yo heredaría su deuda? |
