    Legal Advice Neighbour will burn or bulldoze any fence (NS, Canada)

    Neighbour will burn or bulldoze any fence (NS, Canada)

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 07:17 AM PDT

    I've posted here before, and about similar issues. I have had a parcel of land for a long time, there had been contentious survey issues with a neighbour. These were, I thought, put to rest when I got a successful survey clearly setting out the boundary.

    The neighbour now claims an 'easement; comprising over half of my property. The cap on easement-claim-of-land in Nova Scotia is 20 percent as per the land registration act, but he's claiming he has used the land for 50 years continuous with his great grandfather (he has not, the claimed area was only recently cleared, by him) he is now putting up "<name's> easement" signs on my land.

    I want to build a fence, but the neighbour has made sure to put around that he will go out in a ski mask and burn or bulldoze any fence I put up. He has access to construction equipment. The police say it is a civil matter until he does something. Other fences in the area have been burned and bulldozed. The person does not have enough money to take me to court and would lose on the facts anyway, but how do I interact with law enforcement on this issue? Do I have to build a fence then let him bulldoze it? What if he just keeps covertly destroying any fence I put up? Blocking his physical travel is one way to combat an easement, but what do you do legally when the police won't or can't do anything? The parcel is semi rural so its not like they'll station anyone out there. Would security camera footage with night vision be persuasive? How do police handle issues like this when people hide their faces? Would the fact he's openly threatened to burn/bulldoze my fence help at all?

    I know people always say that cops will say its a civil matter, but this is just getting excessive and I am at my wit's end. I don't have houses on this parcel of land yet, I want to quiet the easement thing and get a fence up.

    My current plan is to place cameras with night vision pointed at the new fence covertly and when it is destroyed take the footage to the police the next day.

    Any legal or practical advice on interfacing with civil/criminal legal process on this kind of issue would be appreciated.

    Edit: Thank you everyone for advice. Summary as I understand is: make sure to go to police every time trespass, property destruction, or anything else happens, bring all footage the new cameras produce which shows ski-masked figure on my land. Build fence, place security cameras first to watch the building process and its inevitable destruction. This is my lawyer's advice as well, and was the original plan but I appreciate perspective, the note to make the cameras motion-triggered (I found one that'll text me when it detects motion that isn't consistent with "deer or bird"), I do appreciate that I failed by stopping going to the police after the first few times they rebuffed me, I'll resume doing so every single time even if it means I'm there literally every day.

    Any further practical advice welcome, I am obviously following my lawyer's advice but his advice isn't useful when the police disagree with him about who should be handling this.

    8th grader bring gun to my niece's class(GA)

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 07:25 AM PDT

    So my niece is in the 8th grade and she's been warning the teacher that said student is bringing a gun in his bags. She's now told the teacher 3 or 4 times and the teacher has just brushed it off because "he hasn't threatened anybody or said anything malicious." This same kid has also been making racial comments about her (mixed) and has been bugging her in every period they have together.(That's a whole nother ballgame though.) Within the last week, the principal sent home a memo stating that "There was an incident at school where a child had possession of a gun but the situation has been taken and addressed appropriately." He wasn't even suspended and he's still causing issues. Is there anything I can do to elevate it? The principal had the same brush-it-off attitude and I'm not so sure that the school board would listen any more than he did.

    Lawyer Has Disappeared Along with Property Damage Check (Ca)

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 01:40 AM PDT

    I hired an attorney to handle my case involving a car accident. Long story short, on April 9th he informed me that he received my property damage check and he would send it to me in the mail. It is now April 28th and I haven't gotten anything, he has been ignoring my calls, texts and emails for the past 20 days. Literally has fallen off the face of the earth.

    So I googled him and on the California state bar website it says "Not Eligible To Practice Law in CA" as of late March of 2018........... So my question is what is my next step? The insurance company won't talk to me because I'm supposedly represented by a ghost and I'm assuming I can't fire him because he was hired on a contingency basis. Do I have any options here? I've already paid the damages out of pocket, so I'm concerned.

    I filed a copyright infringement claim against an Instagram account who posted my video without permission. I just received a letter from their lawyer threatening legal action.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2018 10:39 PM PDT

    I recently found a clip of my YouTube video on a popular Instagram account. I filed a copyright infringement claim through Instagram since they did not obtain my permission to post this video. Instagram removed the content and apparently the entire channel (I assume they must have received other claims in order for Instagram to take this action).

    The owner contacted me to resolve the claim, offering to pay me to remove the claim and license the video. They contacted me via email (from 3 different accounts) and on Instagram from two separate accounts, including stories about losing income because their channel was removed. I told the owner that they committed copyright infringement and that I would not retract the claim in exchange for money (not even sure if there's a way to retract claims). I told them, however, that I would be open to offers to license use of the video.

    Over the past week they made several offers and kept sending emails if I didn't reply fast enough. I declined their initial offers. They eventually asked me what I thought a fair offer would be, so I told them I would license the use of my video in their Instagram post for a much higher amount assuming they'd either make a counter offer and stop emailing me. They said it was too high and made a counter offer (this was sent to me yesterday). I did not have time to reply as I was busy traveling. Today I received a letter from a lawyer on the account owner's behalf threatening to take legal action against me.

    They are claiming that my licensing offer was "utterly disingenuous" and "surmounted to unlawful business practices." The letter references California Business and Professions Code § 17200 and claims I have attempted to deceive their client and the public at large by claiming ownership of the video. They say that because footage from a Star Wars movie can be seen in the video that it violates copyright infringement laws and that I am trying to profit from it with the licensing fee.

    That said, they are offering to make one final attempt at resolving the situation before filing a civil lawsuit, at which point they say they'll seek damages for "lost earnings and lost business reputation" in "excess of $100,000." They say the final offer will need to include "an unlimited and irrevocable license to the Video in return for a full release of [client's] claims."

    Is this just a scare tactic? Should I just ignore it? Should I settle? Can they actually sue me? How can they say I can't own the clip and then ask me to license them the clip? Wouldn't they also not be able to own the clip or use it for financial gain? How can they claim damages when their business model is stealing other content? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated here.

    Other Info:

    I live in California.

    My video shows a funny crowd reaction during a Star Wars screening. The very opening of the film (Lucasfilm logo, "A long time ago..." and a few seconds of the Star Wars logo) are visible, but the purpose of the video is the crowd's funny reaction to something happening in the theater at that time. I believe there is some legal leniency where copyrighted media that appears in the background of a video/film can be forgiven depending on the context, but I'm not sure if that would apply to my video. I just want to include as many details as possible here.

    I have the email chains but the Instagram messages I received are no longer in my inbox (I did not remove them - I believe the senders blocked me so they disappeared from my inbox).

    EDITS & UPDATES

    I just checked my older emails and I believe this is actually a claim I filed last November. Either that or they reposted it again recently (I don't look at the account names when I file claims, just the posts themselves). Either way, their account being removed probably had nothing to do with my copyright claim directly. They did reach out back in November but I either missed or ignored that email, and they didn't contact me again until a week ago.

    Worst 3-way ever

    Posted: 27 Apr 2018 09:26 PM PDT

    I got a ticket today for obeying the law in Virginia. Here is what happened.

    I drove to a 3-way intersection. I must either turn left or turn right. I need to turn left, but there is a sign that says "no left turn". So I made a right turn, drove about 100 yard, turned left into a parking lot and then come out to get back to the direction I wanted to go.

    I saw a cop car nearby. I have seen people getting busted for making that illegal left turn before today. I thought to myself, "I did the right thing". Yet the cop stopped me and gave me a ticket for "evasion of a traffic control device".

    As far as I understand it, this type of violation refers to behaviors like driving through a gas station at an intersection to avoid a red light, or driving off road to avoid a yield sign etc.

    I literally obeyed the sign. It says no left turn, so I turned right. I need to drive towards that left direction. What was I supposed to do? Keep driving down the wrong direction? I turned into the parking lot legally and came out legally.

    Imagine when you are on a road where u-turn is not allowed, so you turn left into a shopping mall, drive around the parking lot, come out, turn right to get to the direction you want to go. Everybody has done that. I never knew it could get you a ticket.

    Should I contest the ticket in court?

    Tow truck company demanding more money & threatening to put a lien on my car if I don't pay them.

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 07:35 AM PDT

    I live in Wisconsin. My car broke down & I called AAA to send me a tow. The tow comes, and the driver asked me to pull off the spoiler on my car because it may come off during the tow and I will have to pay a hefty fine if that happens. I assured him that it wouldn't come off but he insisted and I had to take off my spoiler while he waited for 5 mins for me to do that after which he towed my car. Fast forward to today, tow company calls me and asked me to pay $60 because I made their driver wait. I told them to sort it out with AAA because I didn't make any sort of contract with them. They ended up the call with threatening to put a lien on my car if I don't pay them by end of today. I called AAA, but they said that this is between me and the tow company and has nothing to do with them. I can pay them the $60, but I feel like I'm being scammed here. What do I do?

    Fraudulent Charges on My Debit Card are a result of my sister stealing my info, what recourse do I have?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 08:44 AM PDT

    Hello,

    So yesterday after cashing my check at the bank and checking my balance I was shocked to see I was in the negative 300 dollars.

    I immediately logged into my banking app, and saw charges at a pizzeria two to three times a week for the last month and a half, this being these being the only charges I didn't make.

    Having been to the pizza place before (its in my neighborhood) and knowing it had some shady people working there I assumed an employee copied my info down, it was someone at that business.

    So being at the bank I went to the customer service, explained the situation, and they helped me file the dispute against these charges. I then called the pizza place, spoke to the owner to let him know what's going on, and met up with him after I was off work so he could look into it on his end, wasn't blindsided, and that if it was one of his staff he could take actions. (I know him, have been there before, trust him)

    So he called me this morning, and the last two orders went to my sister's address, and were placed by her. Its a small neighborhood and everyone knows everyone, my sister worked their briefly in her teens. After he told me this I needed to confirm it so I asked the phone number (it matched to my sisters) and address matched.

    So as of this morning I now know what happened, my sister (who I've let access to my apartment for her son to play on my xbox, and I use my card to pay her phone bill once to help her out) at some point stole/wrote my card information, and has been using my card without my knowledge.

    The pizzeria owner let me know that he will be going to the police because he's going to be taking a hit on this (it was about $350 in charges over the last month and a half) and I am don't blame him and am totally fine with this, and told him to as well because she's stolen from me, I have no sympathy for her at this point, and plan on doing the same after work.

    My questions are:

    The bank said that I will be credited the charges from this pizza place, and should receive the money by this tuesday. And pending the outcome of their investigation I'll keep it or they will take it back.

    (Concerning them saying these aren't fraudulent charges, : 1) the only person I let use my debit card is my mom, and other then that I always keep it on me, I've also gave her permission/added her to my account, I trust her, it wasn't her. 2) More then half the charges are when Im at work, literally 15 miles away, and I have my card on me, used it for soda and coffee at work) it clearly wasn't me, the owner knows it wasn't me, and now knows who it was.

    With the criminal party in this situation being related to me should it affect my dispute of these charges with the bank? I plan on filing a police report after work myself as well, but should I be worried about them saying it was my fault she had access to my information? Or anything along those lines.

    Also the bank said the dispute department of Visa will cover overdrafts related to the pizza place, but wouldn't clarify if all of the ones I got these past two days will be included.

    (This ks a big issue for me, I make barely above minimum wage, live paycheck to paycheck, and got hit with over 250 in over draft charges over these last two days because I was making multiple small transactions having no idea my account was so low).

    I know I should check my account daily/ caught this sooner(giant lesson learned), but I clearly wouldn't have overdrafted if I knew these charges from this pizza place were occuring. Specifically when I withdrew money last week I knew I was only at 200 left in my account and knew to be careful. If I would of known that an extra 19.70, 17.32, 21.00, and 32.50 (just the most recent in this last week) happened I wouldn't of overdrafted because in my head I estimated I was near 100 left in my account.

    This 250 in overdraft charges is a huge hit to me, should visas dispute department cover all of them,( the amount of money in my account would of never dipped below zero if it wasn't for these charges, at the least they should be canceled/reverse)

    I know this bank stuff is more of a finance question, but I guess my main concern/ question needing advice is are there any steps I can take to make sure im protected in addition to filing a police report and making it very clear I never gave my sister my card information, let alone authorized her to use it, nor did I know these these transactions were occuring?

    Shouldn't of the pizzeria at least asked to see a card, see identification? The card was on me most of these transactions.

    Lyft and Drugs (San Diego, California)

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 04:55 AM PDT

    So, I've been driving for Lyft as a way to get a car and some extra money when I don't have clients.

    About a week ago, a situation came up that's been bothering me and I'm not sure what the law would be.

    Four people were coming out of a wedding and get into my car, one of the guys has a backpack that he put into the trunk. I didn't think anything about it at the time. (It's fairly common, and there weren't any extra seats.)

    However, as he's talking to his fellow passengers during the ride, it starts to come up that he's been handling large quantities of at least cocaine, if not other drugs as well. The discussions I overheard were reaching serious federal crimes for simply possessing the drugs, much less the fact that he's apparently selling them too. (Not as an actual dealer, more being the contact for five or six of his friends who pool their money for discounts, but I doubt the feds care about that.)

    Only after I hit the button to pop my trunk as I drop them off does it occur to me that I have no idea what's in his bag. If he'd had a brick of cocaine, would I have been in danger? I could prove that I'd just picked these people up, and that I was driving for Lyft, but I was operating the vehicle and it would be fairly trivial for a passenger to claim that they didn't put the bag in my trunk.

    A man is harassing my sister

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 06:50 AM PDT

    Hello everyone. I am a 23 years old man on a sponsorship in Australia, and I am in my final year of college. My sister is taking her master's degree in Australia as well but in a different city.

    Last year my sister started working on helping people get sponsorship and come to Australia to study, and her boss fell in love with her. She always talks to me about him and how their relationship might get serious.

    One day my sister's boss invites her for dinner and tell her that he wants to marry her and sleep with her. (Our culture doesn't have dating, only marriage). She leaves the restaurant and quit her job. Now, this guy has a high position in the sponsorship process, he can cancel my sister's or my sponsorship for any reason he wants.

    My sister calls me and tell me about what happened. I and my sister had a plane to go back to our country for the summer in 10 days, so I packed my stuff and went to her to spend the remaining week with her, in that week 5 takeouts delivery were delivered to her place fully paid for flowers and food for two.

    We went to the police and they told us that we can open a case but that means we can't leave the country, so we just forgot about it till now (4 and a half months later).

    That guy calls her again today and tell her that he is coming back in two weeks and want to see her, or he will show condemning evidence to our dad. I asked my sister if she has done anything wrong, but she said no and she doesn't know what he could possibly have on her.

    I came from a country where if someone is doing this then all the men of the neighbourhood will form a mob, and make sure that man doesn't see tomorrow.

    My sister doesn't have threat evidence on him. Only him saying that he got stuff on her and he doesn't want to call her anymore (but still does call her).

    I am in another city, 3 hours away by plane. That guy can basically end my sister's and my sponsorship.

    We don't know what to do. Any help will be appreciated.

    Can I Legally Use Purchased Letters and Correspondence?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 09:27 AM PDT

    I bought a collection of letters recently at a flea market. They are correspondence between (mainly) two individuals. I would like to try using them for several projects, such as a blog, podcast, book, or photo exhibit.

    I don't have a receipt from my purchase, as it was handled in cash.

    If I use these letters, share their content, or post images of them am I going to run into any legal trouble? There are real names and addresses, but the people (and the physical locations) are long-gone. Is there a chance a long-lost relative could cause trouble for me in some way?

    What's the best way to avoid any potential pitfalls, and how can I best preemptively protect myself?

    UPDATE: I was able to order a new license online.

    Can my ex employer stop me from using my nickname?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 07:56 AM PDT

    Location: NY

    Last night I got a cease and desist by email from an attorney of my ex employer. The letter basically says "it is clear that you are soliciting and targeting clients from X business because you reference leaving your longtime position as "Job Title" and using the name "Nickname"

    This is in reference to an Instagram post I made saying that I left my old employer and will be starting at a new employer. I never mention the old employer's name anywhere on the post. And it is not referenced anywhere on any of my social media accounts. I am currently working under my actual name and not the nickname (I worked under the nickname at the previous employer) I have one reference to the nickname on my new business Instagram page because that's what most of my friends now call me.

    It sounds like they think they own this nickname. Again, I'm not using that name now, just have the one reference on Instagram. Does that imply I'm soliciting their clients? Am I doing anything wrong? If any of my clients from my ex employer find me on social media as I legally allowed to tell them where I work now? I checked my old employee manual and there is no mention of having outside contact with clients from ex employer. I don't remember signing anything else restricting me from doing so either, but I'd rather not reach out to them to ask for a copy of anything I signed if I don't have to contact them. Thank you for any help!

    I was nearly admitted to a psychiatric hospital after workplace management lied to 911 operators. Technically this is a whistleblower case gone wrong.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2018 07:25 PM PDT

    I work for a global company but I'm based in Louisiana. Things got out of hand quickly... here's a brief rundown of what took place.

    I said something to a supervisor in another department that he didn't like. So he goes and tells management and HR that I've been having inappropriate conversations at work with another coworker. This isn't true.

    I have several meetings the following week about this. To sum it up: I highlight that the supervisor was retaliating against me, he has violated food safety issues, he's said disturbing things to a pregnant black woman at work (this they already know about.) etc... basically this guy has been an issue for a long long time.

    I'm told by management that we aren't allowed to speak about our workplace issue to each other anymore. He wants to "shut it down right now." Essentially he doesn't want us to band together.

    After a few brutal meetings the script was flipped. I'm told that I'm a bully and I need to give this supervisor a chance to grow and thrive within the company.

    A few days later I show up to work early. It's Something we all regularly do.

    I'm pulled into a crazy ambush meeting with 2 regional HR members on the phone and 2 managers in the office. They interrogate me about coming to work early. They ask the same questions over and over and call me a liar as I respond.

    Here's where it gets weird.

    I have a medical issue. It's neurological not mental health related. The company didn't know about the issue at this time.

    At some point in this meeting I have an "attack" so to speak. It includes partial paralysis, speech impairment, loss of vision. So I'm unable to respond but I can hear what is being said.

    I'm not moving the entire time, I'm looking at one spot and not responsive to any questions. Zero aggression, fists were not clinched. Nothing.

    The manager calls 911 15-20mins after I had stopped responding and claims that I'm a potential threat to myself and others. They go on to say that I am blocking a doorway. Which is false. I had not moved and paramedics were able to get into the room with all of their equipment.

    I'm not treated as a normal patient that may need help. Instead I'm sent to the psych unit at the ER. They threaten to send me to the behavioral health center because of the statements made by the manager. I had until 3:15pm to find someone to get me or I would be sent for a 72 hour hold. (I did find someone)

    The next day I get a copy and paste email from our in office HR person. She intentionally switched the digits to an important phone number. It's very obvious.

    So I call my employer to get the proper info. My manager answered my call by mistake and I heard an entire conversation they were having about me. Insults and all.

    A few weeks later I am told by a general manager that the last meeting took place because I had allegedly quit the day before. Essentially HR and another manager lied about me resigning.

    Meaning that meeting should have never ever happened.

    The damage has been done. I'm now in counseling due to this occurrence. But I'm wondering what to do legally. I feel this was very classic retaliation against a whistleblower. Is any of this worth taking to a lawyer or am I doomed to fail because this is a massive corporation?

    Tl;dr classic whistleblower case but HR went a little to far with their retaliation.

    [OR] Dog/neighbor conflicts

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 07:16 AM PDT

    Originally posted to /relationships but was directed here by some nice people.

    My neighbors are kind of bananas. I live on the same block and share a fence with them and ever since we moved in they've been really rude. Whenever I walk by their house, if the woman sees me with my dog she'll make weird comments like "best watch that dog," or "keep it away," which I interpreted as 'don't let your dog pee on my lawn.' They have three outdoor cats that use my yard as a litter-box but I figured it was better to keep the peace and pull my dog along when we pass their home. I've made sure my dog has not peed or pooped on her yard in over a year but she's definitely still furious that I let my dog pee on her lawn one time. Recently my dog was sniffing at a spot where one of their cats was sitting and I heard a furious slamming on one of their windows accompanied by "HEY! Get that fucking dog.." I didn't catch the rest of it because, again, I thought it would be easier if I didn't let my dog pee on their lawn and dragged my dog along. I heard her run out to the front porch and she started yelling at me "if that fucking dog comes by one more time.." but didn't really catch the rest.

    Normally I wouldn't be that concerned because she was obviously drunk and she's yelled a lot of rude stuff at me and my SO with our dog whenever she's really loaded (even at 12:30pm on a Tuesday..) but when I told my next door neighbor she cautioned me--apparently a few years ago my neighbor walked her dogs by that lady's house and that lady said some nasty stuff. My neighbor told her to shove it, basically, and a few hours later she caught the lady spraying my neighbor's plants with hardcore pesticides as well as spraying her dogs' outdoor water bowl. My neighbor and I share a chainlink fence and that lady's yard is on the other side, so it would be easy for her to spray my yard too if she wanted.

    This woman also has an enormous, ill-mannered pit mix that goes wild whenever anyone walks by. She's yelled at me before for making her dog bark (???) and has come out at 6AM to tell me "you need to keep it moving" when I was walking my dog across the street from her home. She's walked that dog off leash in our neighborhood which is unsettling since he goes wild over any stimuli and there are lots of small kids around. I'm reluctant to call animal control because I'm afraid they would give her the info of whoever reported her.

    I guess my question is--How should I deal with living this close to someone who seems to have an extremely short fuse, a drinking problem, and no qualms about escalating a conflict? Is the best solution to just avoid walking by her house? How do I respond the next time she yells stuff at me? Is it legal for her to make implied threats if there's no specifics?

    Legally, can I report her for her aggressive dog being off leash without her finding out it was me? And can I report the cats too? They don't wear collars and roam the neighborhood freely. Their coats are matted and the only housing provided are some styrofoam boxes even when it was snowing, during heat waves, even when ash was raining down from the sky and the air quality was dangerously low. They get into fights with local wildlife (including coyotes) and I've seen them with big clumps of fur missing/scratches/limps. Do OR laws allow her to treat her cats like this? Or can I contact rescue shelters?

    I have never, ever had a neighbor who scared me and I'm not sure how to deal. Everyone else in my small neighborhood is kind and knows me and my dog--she and her husband are the only ones who don't engage with the community.

    tl;dr: my neighbor yells rude stuff at me just for walking by her house and I'm kind of afraid she'll poison my dog, what do I do?

    Is a text message enough evidence to win in court?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 07:28 AM PDT

    My ex-boyfriend owes me money and agreed via text message to pay me $400. It's been 5 months and he keeps coming up with excuses as to why he hasn't paid me. Now he has stopped returning my texts. I feel I have no choice but to sue him. Is a text message enough proof? I live in Missouri. What should I expect if I do go to court?

    CO Revenge Porn Laws

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 09:44 AM PDT

    My ex threatened me with posting private photos of me online. He did not post them and says he deleted everything, but I do have screenshots of him threatening to do it if I do not come up to his house. If I made a police report, what happens? More info: we are in the state of Colorado and from what I've read posting them would be a class 1 misdemeanor here. Edited to clarify

    Daughter has been in the police station for 12 hours. They won't tell me anything

    Posted: 27 Apr 2018 05:49 PM PDT

    This is in Canada btw My daughter went to a police station to file an accident report this morning. Haven't heard from her all day. She is an adult so they won't let us talk to her. They would only tell us that she is safe. Should we get a lawyer? They wont tell us anything and its been almost 12 hours. She is 22 years old. Very worried. The accident she was filing for wouldn't have anything to do with this right? Edit: They won't let anyone except a lawyer talk to her and only on the phone. The woman at the station on the phone was very condescending about her age but my daughter has serious anxiety problems. She is probably panicing and wouldn't know anything about lawyers. Edit 2: Apparently it is something to do with missing a court date. And she was pulled over when she was arrested. I have no idea what the court date was.

    (CA) Landlord says we aren’t supposed to be using shared garage for parking

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 01:01 PM PDT

    I'm about 8 months into a year lease. The unit is a duplex with a garage seemingly large enough for 2 vehicles (we have parked next to our neighbors on a couple occasions, but normally they used their half as a workout area). Recently our neighbors moved out and in shopping the unit, our landlord has contacted us saying that the garage was intended for storage rather than parking. She claimed she tested the space by parking next to us and it was too tight for two vehicles.

    They've cited the original ad for our unit, where it does say "shared garage for storage." However, on our signed lease there is a section labeled "Parking: Tenant is assigned a ____________ " and our landlord wrote in "Shared Garage" on the line. Additionally we were told upon viewing the unit that we could park on our side of the garage if desired. Side note: we are also permitted to park in the driveway behind our garage spot, so a major selling point for our unit when we originally signed the lease was having 2 guaranteed parking spaces.

    We sent a very diplomatic message stating that we will continue to pay the agreed upon rent and use the garage for parking as our lease states. They'd like us to pay more for total use of garage or to work out a parking schedule with new tenants. Do they have a case against us here?

    [MN, US] Ex won't vacate my home. Saying I need to provide 30 day written notice.

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 09:36 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I broke up with my boyfriend a couple weeks ago. While we were together, I bought a house(meant as a home for 'us'). House is under my name only and all utilities have my name only as well.

    I have asked him to move out by tomorrow, but today, he has let me know that legally I must provide him a 30 day written notice of eviction. Is this true? He has never made payments towards the mortgage or given me any money for the house. He was only responsible for groceries(sometimes) and did a few home improvement projects(none over $100). He has lived in the residence for a little over a year and has his mail coming here.

    What I need to know: * Does MN law consider him a tenant? * Do I have to provide a 30 day notice of eviction? * Is there anything I can do to protect myself and my home(as a landlord) from him misusing my home if he stays the additional 30 days?

    Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: I asked for him to move out by tomorrow(4/29) on 4/25. This was after he ignored my first request on 4/15 for him to be out by 4/22.

    EDIT2: Fixed some formatting.

    Disorderly Conduct charge in downtown Charleston. Apparently I called an officer some offensive names... How should I proceed?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 04:52 AM PDT

    So I was belligerently drunk walking down king street when I was arrested. I don't remember anything but the cuffs being slapped on, and that I was in the back of the cop car saying something along the lines of "you're a sad, sad man"

    Anyway I got put in a drunk tank with two other guys and was probably meant to stay there for the night. For some embarrassingly stupid reason I told the guys "I'm gonna get us out of here" and then attempted to break down the door for several minutes. A few officers had enough and threw me into a single person cell with a thick steel door and a jumpsuit to match it.

    When I woke up I was directed back to the waiting room, for lack of a better word. Eventually I spoke to a judge via video chat who informed me I was arrested for "calling a police officer a faggot". I was released on PR bonds and have to appear in court on Thursday.

    I don't know how to proceed from here. I cannot possibly afford a lawyer. I'm a full time student so I plan on asking for continuation to at least push it past finals. I then have summer classes so If that works I'm going to try it again. And again. I have a buddy who received the same charge and managed to get his case dismissed with that method. I also plan on calling two lawyers I'm somewhat familiar with to try to get free consultation.... The only thing I know is that I am worried.

    I currently have a clean record.

    Form signing for a part time job (Daytona beach, Fl)

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 09:55 AM PDT

    This is in daytona beach, florida. I am a college student returning home for the summer and I wanted a job so I could earn cash on the side while taking online classes. I applied to a local ice cream shop and got a call back that week. I have already been hired and am waiting for the semester to end before I begin my training, and they sent me a file with menus to memorize and forms I needed to fill out. One stood out to me, however. It said that it was for your "permanent medical file" and they asked what kind of medical conditions you've had. Things like certain diseases when working in food service could pose risk, and I understand. However, the full list is: Height, weight, blood type If you have ever been treated/are being treated for : convulsions/epilepsy , diabetes, heart disease, cerebral palsy, arthritis/rheumatism, amputation, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, surgery, bleeding disorder, bone problem/joint pain, frequent back aches, head injury, frequent head aches, eye injury, dizziness/fainting spells, nervous conditions, weakness, chest pain, chronic cough, allergies/hay fever/asthma, reaction to drug, kidney/bladder problem, stomach problem, cancer, hearing problem, adult communicable disease, weight control problem, circulation/vein/artery, skin rash/eczema, any chronic ailment. From there you are asked to give a yes or no, a date, and explanation to any yes. It also asks whether or not you have been treated for depression, hypertension, or mental illness. It asks if you have glasses, back/neck injury. The form continues to ask if you have ever been medically discharged from the military, if youve received workers comp or intend on seeking it, rapid weight gain or loss, and any other disability not covered by above questions. Once the form is signed, you allow the employer to contact schools and doctors and have information released. I dont know a whole lot about HIPAA laws, but I'm not sure that all of those questions are necessary for working at an ice cream shop. Any help/advice? Am I okay to fill out this form?

    Help. Landlady charging us for “cat dander” and mold. (VT USA)

    Posted: 28 Apr 2018 09:54 AM PDT

    Hey reddit could use some advice. In the process of moving out of my place and Landlady is all of a sudden claiming that she needs to pay $700 for "cat dander" and mold clean up and it needs to come out of our deposit. There was nothing in the lease that said anything about such thing and below is the email she sent. I'm having trouble keeping a level rational head and am unsure how to even respond to her.

    "Hi -

    I re-read the lease to make sure.

    You rented the house without any cat dander in it - it must be returned to us that way (has nothing to do with us allowing cats on the property, has to do with cleanliness …like you would not leave a pile of garbage in the middle of the living room because you did not move in with garbage there)

    So if you need the deposit returned then you (all 3 of you) need to hire a company that does that kind of guaranteed work.

    I hired [removed] . He is coming on Thursday to do the work. of eliminating the cat dander and all mold associated with having animals.

    You may take over the oversight of this and pay the bill if you need to be in control… once you pay the bill to them I will be happy to return your deposit provided that the inspection of the rest of the home is okay.

    Let me know how you want to proceed."
