| Landlord is shouting at pet sitter Posted: 07 Oct 2018 05:08 AM PDT I live in Massachusetts. My wife and I have been renting the same property for at least eight years. We've always had a cat, which was permitted when we moved in. The landlord lives on the second floor of the house, in a different apartment. We go away on weekends with some regularity, and at the end of one such weekend this year, our landlord cornered my wife outside (I was such inside the bathroom...) and started claiming that we had a non-permitted second cat (untrue,) and said that we shouldn't have a cat if we weren't going to stay home and take care of it. He went on to say that he didn't want us giving spare keys to anybody, which is obviously a requirement for a pet sitter. We didn't believe he had the power to make such rules, and decided to just keep doing what we were doing, and look for a house on the side (the housing market near Boston is its own horror story.) Well, this weekend, our sitter texted to report that when he went to the apartment, our landlord spotted him and started shouting at him. We don't have the full story yet, but we do know that the kitty was fed. I was unable to find any specific laws or posts about this situation. Do we have rights to distribute keys and hire sitters under the law? [link] [comments]  |
| Added wife to my health plan offered by my employer and now I am nervous I might get fired Posted: 07 Oct 2018 09:21 AM PDT My wife was previously on medicaid and when we got married she no longer qualified and really needed her medication. I called my health care provider and asked them if I could add my wife to my plan and they said yes so I did. When I added her via the online form on the ny small business marketplace, I thought I would NOT be allowed if my employer did not offer this. I am very confused about the situation. I am fairly young and previously before getting this job only had medicaid. I didn't know much about insurance and the cost of insurance until after the fact. Now my boss is upset with me for adding her to my plan without talking to him. Now we have to figure what to do about the situation. I was supposed to be getting a raise(the amount is unclear). I suggested we reduce my salary(post raise) or remove her from the plan which my boss never responded to. My boss never threatened to fire me but his response made me extremely nervous. He made it seem as if me adding her was not a benefit for me and I am overstepping. I was never told I could not add any dependents to my plan and there seems to be no restrictions of that kind on my marketplace account. He even went as far as to say that "I was not going to give you this big of a raise" implying that the upcoming raise was smaller than the cost of the insurance premium for my wife(I think 6 grand a year). My boss pays 100% of my premium and he says it's a really big expense for the company to add my wife to my plan. I work for a small software company. My questions are is this legal? Did I really do something wrong? I have been feeling really awful about this the last few days, I feel like I really screwed things up for myself and am worried I might get fired.

| Posted: 07 Oct 2018 04:56 AM PDT So the title sums it up. I live in NYC and have had a roommate since February that is a dumpster fire of a person, much less roommate. I will refer to her as DF from here on out. Few things about the situation:
So, come Oct 1 she didnt move any of her things out and the morning of, sent a text to the land lord that she would move out in a few weeks. The land lord told her(and had done so before) that the room was rented out for Oct and that person would be moving in so DF had to be out. DF replied that she will move out whenever she feels like it and that if the locks are changed or her things are touched "You'll have the cops up your ass." DF was asked to move her things into the living area so that the new tenant could have her bed room. DF replied that the landlord is "miserable and old" and should stop harassing her. I know that NYC housing regulations are ridiculously tricky for a landlord and eviction is a huge process. My questions are more what can I do as the current, paying, lease holding, tenant. Am I able to remove her things as I am not the land lord but the current tenant and she is trespassing? Am I restricted in what I can do as far as moving her things out of the bedroom and into the living room so that the new tenant can have the space? I know that it only takes 30 days to claim abject possession but at what point is that forfeit? I know that she has not been to the apartment in 8 days running(I have a nanny cam because I dont trust her at all) There is also furniture that I know she likes/uses regularly, particularly a futon and chair that are on our balcony. They are an eyesore that I have wanted to get rid of since I moved in but it all belonged to the guy who is now moved out. When he moved he relinquished all of the things left behind to me. Am I able to get rid of any furniture that I want to(that is not DF's) or can that come back on me because she has lived in the space with those items for longer than 30 days? If she were to threaten me(which she does verbally but never via text) in any way and I can have it recorded(again the nanny cam) can I file a police report and get a restraining order so that she is forced to move out? Sorry for the wall of text, this situation just keeps going from bad to worse I would really appreciate any help. [link] [comments]  |
| Coworker took my paycheck, and then threw it away (TX) Posted: 07 Oct 2018 10:35 AM PDT I have a weekend side job that I work part time for extra money to put in my savings. Last Tuesday paychecks were issued for the last pay period and my coworker (whos also a good friend of mine) sends me a text that she took my check for me. I never asked her to do this and I was planning on driving up to the store to get it after work (at my regular full time job during the week). But I was like, ok cool whatever just make sure you leave in your car and I'll pick it up whenever we hang out later. I was a little confused as to why my manager allowed her to just take my paycheck without even trying to contact me to ask if it was ok, but I figured as long as I got the money it wasn't a HUGE deal, just an annoyance. I didn't see her until last night, and when I asked her for my check she says that while cleaning out her car, she ripped up and threw out a bunch of her old paystubs without looking at the names on any of them and most likely threw mine away with them. I was texting her this morning and now she says she never picked up the check to begin with and it's still at the store. So I drive out to work, and lo and behold it's not there and someone has signed my name on the form saying we've received our checks (it's very obviously not my handwriting or signature though) and my friend admits that she signed for my check, but never took it, and that my manager watched her sign for it. Finally, after arguing for maybe 30 min, she says she took the check, but swears she gave it to me at a concert we both went to. She never gave me any check there, and even if she had, that concert was mid September and this check wasn't issued until the beginning of October. I called the company and asked how much the check was for (they said they dont release those records to anyone and wouldn't tell me) and if they could reissue me a new check because I never received mine (they said it wasn't their responsibility and wouldnt do that either). Who exactly is responsible for this? I'm very upset, but I dont know who to direct my anger at. Do I have to just deal with this? Is this something I have to just hash out with my friend, or is the company legally required to ensure I get paid? Or is this something i take up with my manager because she handed out my check to someone else without verifying with me it was ok to do so? I'd rather not have to go through court, because this is just a part time job and the check was maybe around $250 at the most, but is there a law anywhere I can pull out to force someone to pay me??

| (urgent) I was locked out of my apartment eithout an eviction notice (nyc) Posted: 07 Oct 2018 05:41 AM PDT EDIT:. I Live in East New York Brooklyn NOT manhattan I moved in with my boyfriend and his Mother back in June. Only his mother is on the lease, and there were arrangements that I pay $200 a month to stay there. On September 27th I was voluntarily admitted into a psych ward for suicidal thoughts and depression after experiencing a death of a family member. When I was discharged my social worker called my boyfriend to make sure I could go back there and he said yes. But when I got out I was told that I was not able to come back to the apartment and that the locks have been changed. She allegedly went to the courthouse and obtained an eviction notice but I was never served or given any 30 day notice. I was never violent towards this woman or destroyed property nor do I have any criminal history. I have the correspondence with the social worker documented on my discharge papers. I have proof of monthly payments to her in PayPal, and I have proof I have been staying there all summer through mail. She refuses to give me a key. I was forced to spend $180 on a hotel room and had to travel back to Long island to stay with my dad. This is going to make me miss my follow up appointment with my psychicatrist on Monday. I feel broken, scared, and confused. What should be my next course of action? [link] [comments]  |
| DoorDash skipping out on paying bonuses and guaranteed pays. Posted: 07 Oct 2018 07:38 AM PDT My husband is doing DoorDash to make some extra money for our household. He keeps getting these "bonuses" and guaranteed pay offers. He accepts them and then they won't honor what they are promising. When he contacted support(which was extremely difficult to do), they said he needs to take screen shots in order to receive bonuses. Never have they mentioned that he needs to take screen shots to receive the pay he is promised. If they are doing this to him, they are doing it to everybody. He's already been cheated out of at least $100 and he hasn't even received his first pay deposit. If they don't honor the pay and bonuses he literally winds up working for free once you cover fuel and wear and tear on the vehicle. What sort of action should be taken when a business is cheating individuals but on a huge scale? [link] [comments]  |
| [MN] Sexual harrasment in the workplace and the boss dosent believe us that it is occuring. Posted: 07 Oct 2018 09:29 AM PDT Long story short is that there is a coworker that has been saying very sexual things to some coworkers about other coworkers. He's saying things like he would bend a coworker over a table and ram her (he said this to one coworker about another) and going around showing pictures of a couch saying that he made a girl squirt and that other coworkers are missing out. This isnt the first time hes made me and a few others very uncomfortable to work with him. I have brought other issues up to my boss about him and she said she would look into it the previous times but after i brought up this most recent incident that occured she told me that she thinks me and the other coworkers are making things up and bullying him. She said she spoke with him and that he said he hasnt done anything and that sometimes he can't control himself because of his disabilities. She said she spoke with one supervisor who said he hasnt heard anything and with one server who said she hasnt heard anything ether. I havent been the only one to talk to her about these issues as well. At this point im not sure what direction to go. Should I escalate it to her boss or get the cops involved or what? If you have any questions feel free to ask as i know this is kind of a sloppy writing. [link] [comments]  |
| [Canada] Denied entry into the US, no explanation given. Posted: 07 Oct 2018 11:48 AM PDT Yesterday morning i went to the airport for my flight to San Francisco to go to one of my good friend's wedding, along with my SO. I had digital proof of the wedding invite, our hotel reservation, along with our return flight. I am not a visible minority, and i frequently travel to the US for work related things (i work remotely as a software developer and at least once every 3 months everyone gets together to work locally for a week+). I am a NEXUS pass holder, however my SO is not. Rather than to leave my SO stuck in the line herself, i asked the agent if i could line up with my wife even though i have a NEXUS pass. She said that was fine. After i went through the inspection point i was stopped by 3 members of TSA and asked to come with them. I was then brought to a room while customs basically went through every single thing i brought with me. I was cordial, and gave them access to my phone and laptop. They asked the same questions a dozen or so times, and never seemed satisfied with the answer of "i am going to my friends wedding". After ~15 minutes of this i was told to wait for their supervisor, so we then waited nearly 4 hours. A guard kept apologizing for the wait, and said he would be here in a few minutes. We waited nearly ~4 hours, and missed our flight. Finally their "supervisor" arrived, and returned my laptop and smart phone. I was told that i am being denied entry into the US, and he refused to give me any reason. Furthermore he informed me that my NEXUS pass has been revoked permanently. Yet again he gave absolutely no explanation for what happened. Then i was escorted out of the airport, neither of the people answered ether of my questions. So my question is:

| Posted: 07 Oct 2018 12:20 AM PDT Two days ago I woke up and found my best friend unresponsive and foaming out of his mouth. We spent the night drinking and had really deep life talks about our place in the world and what our dreams were and how much it means that we have each other in our lives. We were watching no country for old men and finishing our beer when halfway threw the movie he started getting sick. I handed him a garbage can and some bottles of water and made sure he was okay and on his side and that was the last thing I remember from that night and my last memory of us. The next morning when I found him I tried for five minutes to wake him up thinking he was just drunk still because I didn't want him to miss work. When I noticed the foaming and the abnormal breathing I called 911 and they were there within ten minutes or so and loaded him on a stretcher. We raced behind the ambulance to the hospital and called his sister who is basically his only sane family member. He left home at sixteen and spent the next four years drifting from friends houses and working, he has a 90s model Ford F150 in amazing condition that he was restoring that use to belong to his grandfather. The tile is in his name and I have it and he is twenty years old. My father is the lean holder on the title because of a loan he needed to do work on his truck. My friends mom called me to update my girlfriend and I on his condition, as it turned out he had a stroke in his sleep (second one in a year first one was minor with no lasting effects) and was not related to the drinking that night but is now brain dead with a clot in his cerebral cortex. An hour or so later his dad called me insinuating it was my fault and questioning what I did to his son. Later in the night around 10:30pm he showed up at our property unannounced with a spare key to the truck and tried to take it but my dad stays packing and drove them off with a gun after giving them several verbal warnings to leave before pulling out a gun. Now his dad is abusive and lives in a trailer with my friends mom and drove all his siblings out of the house young and treated them horribly, beat them and my friend had no connection to his parents and actually has a life insurance policy with a mutual friends mom as the beneficiary but we also believe it may be our mutual friend that is. My question is simple. Does his dad have legal ownership over the truck or does my dad? Ideally we would like to give the truck to his sister and her young son his nephew. She's promised to never let her parents near it according to her brothers wishes and to keep it in the family. I'm starting to lose hope that my friend will recover or ever wake up given his condition and the time he's been out but I want to do right by my friend and not let his abuser take the one thing in his life that he loved more than anything. He was only three weeks away from his twenty first birthday. [link] [comments]  |
| If I work 9 hours, aren't I legally allowed a break? Posted: 07 Oct 2018 09:37 AM PDT Location: Pennsylvania Even if it's busy all day? Or does it depend on the job? Isn't there a law protecting my right to a break? Or is a break not a right but a privilege in USA? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2018 09:41 AM PDT Hello, For the past 3 years my mom has been abusing me since my dad died. She's always had a mental issue. When my parents divorced and I was only 7 (which lasted 4 years) my mom has had a mental issue. She cheated on my dad which is why it happened but while they divorced all she did was call the police on my dad everyday to try to justify the divorce, of course the police always laughed at her and left. Now that he's dead she found her newest victim- me. Starting when I was in 9th grade she found a joke from my friend to me months after it happened, took it to the school and had her removed from my class. I would miss countless days of school and the days I would show up, I'd show up crying. I could never sleep- as she would come bother me in the middle of the night even trying to cut my hair off at times. Then 10th grade year she made me switch schools. She accused me of sending child pornography, and when the police investigated, the same child detective who found her crazy when she was divorcing my dad asked me for my phone password so she can show my mom I was innocent, and I gave it to her. The next week the report came out that I was innocent, as I had told her, and she refused to believe it. She would hit me and attack me and make an excuse afterwards that she was trying to get my phone, and she says the police say she can attack me if she's trying to get something from me! She's still doing it! I cry just about everyday, I can never sleep, its affecting my grades which have always been all A's. She attacked me again last night and used the same excuse, but this time she cut off 1/3 of the tip of my finger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was blood all over my legs, the floor, and both of my hands. Every time I want to call the police she says that she has the right to attack me if she's trying to get something, and she brainwashes my brothers to side with her no matter what! Is this okay? I don't know what to do!!!!! Additionally, when my dad died his life insurance was solely left in my name, which is now in the Florida court system, although I moved to Texas a month ago. Can I somehow get emancipated? I feel that is my only option at this point. I do not feel safe for years, I'm now 16 and suffering. I cannot live another 22 months (until I'm 18) with such a monster! Any advice anyone?!?!!!! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2018 10:23 AM PDT Our dog damaged the door in our bedroom and now our landlord wants us to get rid of our dog. In our contract, it states that we're allowed to have a dog and any damage that's done by him must be repaired. We obviously plan on repairing the door, so we don't think it's right for us to have to get rid of him. She's adamant though, so we told her we'd all move out, instead of getting rid of him, because he's part of our family. Are we still obligated to stay and get rid of him, or keep paying rent even if we do move, if we haven't actually broken a rule? [link] [comments]  |
| Options for sheltering abused minor Posted: 07 Oct 2018 06:50 AM PDT Georgia. A friend of one of our children is staying with us. He is 15yo and has been here about 2 weeks. We have no legal or familial connection to him. He voluntarily left his house because he was being physically abused by his father (no legal proof here, he said ... he said). His mother is indifferent and neither parent really cares if he returns. All of his belongings have been sold. His parents moved (still in the local area). He maintains contact with his mother through social media. His parents refuse to provide him his ID, birth certificate, SS card or access to his bank account. They will provide no support at all, not even contacting the school so he can ride the bus to our house after school. He currently has no capability to support himself, so emancipation is not an option. For my part, I require that his parents know where he is and that he maintains some kind of contact with them. I want to avoid any legal entanglements for my family. I also don't want this young man to be put into the system if avoidable. He could probably be considered a runaway if his parents pushed the issue. Anyone know of any GA resources we could contact to better his situation? I'm not even sure what options he might have as a minor. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| AT&T let someone take over my phone number. It cost me $2000. Posted: 06 Oct 2018 01:34 PM PDT Someone in /r/att suggested I consult an attorney. Here's the story: Last night, someone called AT&T customer service and got them to provision their SIM card on my phone number, effectively taking over my phone number. They then utilized my now-captured phone number to trigger a text message password reset for my Gmail account, locking me out of my email. They were then able to use a combination of my phone and Gmail accounts to access my Coinbase account, purchasing $2000 worth of Bitcoin using my checking account. The thing that really upsets me about this? I noticed someone trying to do this three days ago and called AT&T to warn them. I spoke with their security department, and asked that SIM card changes over the phone be disabled, stating that future changes of this nature be performed in person, in a store, after checking ID. And then this happens. I'm beyond irate with AT&T. They clearly can't protect their customers, even when they're warned about the specific action that might be taking place. Is this negligence? Is it worth it to pursue legal remedies? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| There is a live band playing outside our house. Posted: 07 Oct 2018 04:02 AM PDT My parents have gone out there and pleaded for them to stop. Because australia school starts tomorrow and this band constantly playing is stopping our entire house from sleeping. They, while I was standing with my parents, told us to fuck off. We called the non-emergency line and they told us to call the real police. We called them and they don't show up because obviously more important things are happening. Today the police showed up(the band comes every Friday and Sunday). The police didn't do anything. They just stopped and spoke to us and then continued without speaking to the band. The band doesn't have a permit to play and they're all high as a kite so it's difficult to reason with them. What are our options as the police aren't doing anything and the band tells us to fuck off. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Oct 2018 04:27 PM PDT ((EDITED TO SAY: After talking to my wonderful parents, they are hiring a family friend who is a great lawyer to help me navigate the aftermath of this because I simply cannot endure the stress. I'm again expressing disgust with the response from the police)) . So, I saw a sales ad for a brand-new car and was very excited that I'd be buying my first car. I have the money saved up. I went to the dealership and inquired about the car. I should mention that I'm a very large six months pregnant. Well, I was very naive and didn't realize that just because a car is advertised for a certain price means that you actually pay that price. Apparently the car doesn't actually come with a motor for that price ha ha. The salesman went from overbearingly "charming" to the point of taking my arm and using too much pressure to guide me to the chair in his office, but that was fine. You all probably understand that's where the mind games begin, all of the negotiating for the end price. It went on for 45 minutes with very horrible communication on his part; he was essentially saying one thing and then contradicting himself and leaving the room to get permission from his boss, who wouldn't approve the price. Just when I thought we had arrived at a price and my stress levels couldn't take anymore, he said that what I thought was the final price didn't include the air conditioning. It's Florida and I naively assumed that was already included. I realized that I was in over my head with bartering and I was stressed and the guy was getting red in the face and I could see the whites of his eyes over his irises. I thanked him for his time and said I needed to do further research since we were now many thousands of dollars over what was advertised, but cheerfully told him that I would definitely be back. Then I said something about I got to go and needed to take care of myself since I'm pregnant. That's when he flew to his feet and literally ran across the room and beat me to the door. He had this awful fake smile on his face but was really sneering at me. He was just losing it and sarcastically thanking me for coming in and then started escalating and saying I wasted his time, and he knew that when I showed up I was going to be the kind of woman who'd lead him on, and what did I expect, the car for wholesale price? He went on and on. I don't know if this guy was mega-stressed or likes to do a little coke after work or what exactly. It's supposed to be a somewhat high-end dealership. After a couple of minutes, I made myself apologize, saying that I'd definitely be back to buy the car from him but lied and said I needed to get home and take medication. He still kept berating me and was body blocking the door. I started saying that I needed to leave now, said it repeatedly, said it loudly and firmly. I even repeatedly knocked on the door hoping that someone who worked out there would hear and come check on what was going on. After many minutes, I finally had a moment of clarity since it got very scary for me and fumbled in my purse and got out my cell phone. He put his face right into mine and stared at me and didn't say anything. Then he opened up the door somewhat grandly and loudly and calmly thanked me for coming in. I literally speed walked, half ran across the lobby, my purse over one elbow, holding the cell in my other hand. I know a couple of other employees saw me at that point. I drove away and about ten minutes I thought it through and called the police. Now this pisses me off more than anything!!- the police officer that I talked to just glossed it over like it was nothing. I don't hardly know what the police officer said who responded. He basically thought that we just didn't get along! I don't care that it was just a matter of minutes, upwards of ten, I was not allowed to leave that office! Any legal advice? I'm outraged. I'm a 5'1" woman who's very pregnant and this whole thing was extremely stressful. He shouldn't be allowed to get away with bullshit like that. [link] [comments]  |
| Kidnapped and taken to America illegally, and now of age. Posted: 06 Oct 2018 09:02 PM PDT This is actually about my boyfriend, who I will call G. He turned 18 a few months ago, and is undergoing a lot of legal issues upon finding out that he was illegally taken from his biological mother and taken to America by his adoptive mom. For background, he was never used sexually or for labor, but he was physically punished often as a child (slapped, locked in the room for hours, etc.). Although the physical harm has stopped, he continues to face emotional abuse. He believes that his adoptive mother has also used him for money. He has no legal papers and no actual citizenship whatsoever. He cannot apply for a job and even though he graduated from high school recently, and is in a community college, he probably cant take his education further. He was very lucky to even be admitted in his college. What can be done about this?? How can he gain legal citizenship, how can he prevent being deported?? Are they any laws for this? What should he do? Please help. He's getting increasingly anxious and depressed over the seemingly hopeless situation. edit: I think everyone's a bit quick to judge. Online boyfriend = automatically a fake scammer. Which is not the case here. Please do not take me for an idiot, I am definitely not. I know a catfish and a scammer when I meet one. We video chat and voice call nearly every day, for 2 years. He has never asked for financial help and has refused any of my offers. When I sent money via PayPal, he immediately sent it back. He is also not after a green card because I am not American. The mother has bursted into his room numerous times while we video chat, and I have seen her myself. I have also heard the abuse when she bursts into the room while we voice call, not giving him the chance to mute. On top of that, I know his friends irl, met his adopted mom's biological nephew, and all his info to know he's legit. I saw the news article online, on an ACTUAL news website for myself, with his name, with pictures, with everything. Thanks for your concern, but it is definitely unneeded. I need actual help for immigration. And to hopefully clear up any possible misconception, I am older than him, and studying pre-med. Not bragging, just trying to say I'm not some vulnerable hopeless romantic teen. I can assure everyone, I am level-headed, and mature enough. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2018 01:20 PM PDT I am 7 months into a 12-month lease, and at the insistence of my landlords, I recently gave notice that I won't be renewing. I live in the orbit of a major university so "pre-leasing" is a major thing and it's not uncommon for landlords in the area to ask for 6 or 8 months' notice. This property management company has been a NIGHTMARE to work with. In addition to ignoring constant maintenance requests -- I once spent hours bailing sewer water out of my apartment while desperately calling their "emergency hotline" over and over -- their representatives frequently enter my apartment without any notice so they can "check" things and respond to potential future tenants' questions about the unit. Anyway, now that I have given notice that I will be vacating the apartment, they have started showing my apartment 3-4 times a week. They do give me notice but not once have they given me 24 hours' notice -- last week one of their agents texted me at MIDNIGHT announcing that he'd be showing the apartment at 10:00 the following morning. Now they've sent me a letter asking me to consent to having an open house at my apartment twice weekly "for no less than three consecutive hours on the days of your choice" - in addition to the regular showings!! It basically says that the letter counts as sufficient notice of entry into the apartment during my preferred hours on my preferred days of the week. More importantly, it says that if I do not sign, I will incur an "obstruction fee" equal to 40% of one month's rent for preventing them from quickly finding a new tenant. Does this letter have any legal basis? If I don't sign it and they try to fine me the $500 will I be able to challenge it? Maybe I am being unreasonable but I simply am not okay with the idea of multiple strangers traipsing through my apartment for 6 hours every week. [link] [comments]  |
| My Neighbor is trying to sabotage the sale of my home Posted: 07 Oct 2018 12:15 PM PDT I own my home and it's currently on the market. It's a townhome in a nice community, very well maintained with upgrades. The problem is that my neighbors are garbage people and the lack of respect for the appearance of their home has been costing us potential buyers. Today I witnessed (through my doorbell camera) my neighbor walk up to people arriving for a scheduled showing and directly tell them not to buy our house because we have a rat infestation (SHE has rats). I'm at a loss, we have had feedback from 2/3 of the showings specifically stating that they love the house but can't get past the unkept neighbors. Not only is she garbage, her garbage is now messing with my money. This might be a stretch but is there anything we can do to keep her away? Or anything for that matter? We are not in the position to buy another home and rent this one out. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2018 08:03 AM PDT There are 4 individuals living in this apartment. The couple, me and another male roommate who moved out as of yesterday. He had to get police officers to escort him to the apartment to get his belongings. He was able to get all his things because the lease which the female roommate presented to the police was not a legal document. Fast foward a few hours later after one of the male roommate retrieved his stuff and has left. I heard my name being mentioned by the other male roommate so I approached him and ask why was my name being brought up in a disrespectful manner. That is when they started with the verbal abuse and the pushing by the female roommate. They are a couple. She wanted me out of the apartment because my rent for October was short $300 which is half of the rent. I wrote a check for $300 and told her I would have the rest on the 18th. She said no that her father needed it by the 12th which I agreed to. Her father owns the house in which we renting rooms out of. She said once I give her the remaining amount I should leave and she even sent me a 14-Day Notice To Quit which I was told she has no rights to do. During my stay in the 4 months I have been in the apartment, I have paid my rent on time and with a check. Except October. She would not give us her father who is the landlord his contact info. She doe not show us the other tenants in the apartment the utility bills. She raised my rent last month saying that she will pay utilities and we should not worry about it which I questionned. I told her I will move out when I am ready to move out especially if I already payed $300 and promised to pay the other half on the 12th of October. THAT IS WHEN THEY CORROBORATED THEIR STORY THAT I ASSAULTED HER BY PUSHING HER WHICH I DID NOT DO IN ORDER TO GET A RESTRAINING ORDER SO THAT I CAN NOT COME BACK THE APARTMENT. THE RESTRAINING ORDER FALLS UNDER 209A TO MY KNOWLEDGE. [link] [comments]  |

| Housemate cashed paycheck twice Posted: 07 Oct 2018 09:56 AM PDT [NC] Our housemate (M) works with my fiance at a local construction company; they are paid by check every Friday. This past Friday, they went to the bank their boss's checks are drawn on. The male teller took M's check & ID, then just counted out the money and handed the cash, ID, and check back to M. They next went to Walmart, where M cashed the check again at the bank there. He claims that because the teller at bank 1 didn't run the check through the machine, it did not actually get cashed the first time and bank 2 wouldn't have cashed it a second time. My fiance told him that he can get in trouble for it. M states that only the teller at bank 1 can be held legally responsible. I don't want to be caught up in all of this. Can M get in trouble for it since he knowingly cashed the check again? Thank you for your time and advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Oct 2018 07:20 PM PDT Hi everyone! I'm writing this post here because I'm unsure of where else to turn to for help in this issue. Essentially, my girlfriend got ejected from the BTS Concert in Citifield Stadium because the security guards thought she had a camera (prohibited item) in her possession despite not being able to find anything. My girlfriend, who is Asian (important detail), is a big fan of BTS (boy group from Korea) and flew from CA to NYC to participate in the concert. Whilst at the concert, security guards would keep an eye on the crowd to eject people who have prohibited items on them. About 1 hour into the concert, my girlfriend was standing next to another asian girl that she didn't know (similar height and hair). This girl was using a small digital camera which is prohibited (not sure how she got it through screening). Unsurprisingly, the security guards on the stage spotted the other asian girl using the camera and tried to tell her to come over so they can confiscate the camera. This girl ignored the security guard which made the security guard call the ground floor security guards to come and get her. While the stage security guard was calling for help, the girl left the spot and by the time the stage security guard finished his call to the ground security guards, the girl was already gone. However, because my girlfriend was pretty similar looking to the girl with the camera, the stage security guard mistook my girlfriend for the girl with the camera and told the ground security guards to take her (my girlfriend) out. Once out of the general audience zone, they searched my girlfriend and didn't find any prohibited items on her. Despite not finding any incriminating evidence, they still ejected my girlfriend from the concert because they think she has a camera but couldn't find it or that she gave it to someone else. They proceeded to take away my girlfriend's entry wristband while she was trying to explain to them that they have the wrong person but they wouldn't listen to her pleas. Without her entry wristband, she was unable to go in and try to talk to someone to explain the misunderstanding and was forced to wait outside the stadium until the concert was finished. I tried calling Citifield's customer support but they told me that they don't have any affiliation with the security organization and that the ticket vendor (MetLife Stadium) is in charge of hiring security. Unfortunately, MetLife Stadium's customer service is closed today so I'm unable to get ahold of them but was wondering if there is any way to get a refund on the concert tickets because my girlfriend was essentially denied from being able to watch the concert under a false accusation. Thanks for reading through this post and I would really appreciate any insight on this! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2018 03:22 AM PDT Quick question all. I live in Arizona. Received this email about an evening event they want ALL employees to attend (hourly and salary). Here's the first sentence: "All full time employees are expected to attend XXXXXX. This event is outside of working hours and is an unpaid requirement." Is it even legal to require hourly (NOT salaried) to attend an event that is unpaid? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
