| Posted: 08 Jan 2019 02:35 AM PST Location: Ontario. I have been on lease at a shared two bedroom with a roommate for 3+ years. Both of our names are on the lease. Due to health reasons, I legally subletted my room for 8 months (ongoing.) The landlord has approved the sublease. I am in a different city with family, currently. Did due dillegence to find a great roommate to share spade etc, they (the subletter and roommate) get along fine etc. My roomate has messaged be out of the blue, now saying that she intends for her new boyfriend of four months to move in after the sublease ends in June, and if I want to return to the city, I will have to find new accommodation, as he will be replacing me. Now, I fully intend to move back to the city- as I have to finish my Uni degree there. The location is ideal and frankly I wouldn't be able to find something as affordable (I pay under 500 for my room) and would likely have to put off returning to school longer if I needed to worry about moving expenses and now pay 700+ in rent in rando student accommodation. The apartment, I view as my home, as I do not have permanent residence elsewhere. So, I don't want to leave. Does she have a legal case to 'kick me out', provided I don't extend the sublease past 12 months? Additionally, what can I do to protect myself? Additional context: my sublets room is furnished with my furniture, and about half the apartment furniture is mine / all the plates etc. I left those items there because I have known my roomate for 8 years and intended on returning. (Although, they made a fuss about me keeping things in our storage locker, wanted me to leave certain things but empty them of my belongs so they could use etc.. but that's a story for another time and another subreddit) They have a wee bit of a mean streak, and I just want to make sure all my bases are legally covered, so that I can return assuming I don't find other accommodation. (In the far off hypothetical I found something better, I would give 60 days notice to the landlord, her etc) I am hoping this can be sorted though us talking. Last- is there anyway she could move the boyfriend in without my consent if he is not on the lease? Thanks in advance guys. Edit: thanks for the response so far. To clarify Regarding Lease Renewal: This is our 4th year on the lease, and in Ontario once you've been a resident for 12 months, the lease rolls over month to month, to my understanding. For the past two years we have, at the end of 12 month in july, we have signed new rental agreement's with the max allowable rent raise (1.5% a year or something) So I believe that I am legally protected by the lease, and my right to the apartment stay as long as subletting is less than a year and a day. (I still pay the rent, after deposited to me by the subletter and the onus if the subletter *did not * pay fall soley on me) Could someone versed in Ontario Law please confirm my understanding? Updated: Wow everyone thanks for all the advice. I'm hoping to resolve this with my roommate and I've sent her a message. I'll also be looking into chatting with a professional if nessisary.

| Can we successfully sue someone "advertising" items on our property? Posted: 08 Jan 2019 11:19 AM PST My father lives on an 18-acre wooded property in Oregon that he and I jointly own (I live in California). He's into classic car restoration and started collecting "barn finds" over 20 years ago. Today he has more than 40 vehicles on the property, mostly in barns and old chicken coops, but all relatively well cared for. Most are classic cars worth non-trivial amounts of money (old Fords and Hudsons, 1960's muscle cars, that sort of thing), and he's whiling away his retirement years pulling the cars out one by one to restore and sell off. About a year ago he started noticing small thefts from some of the cars. Hubcaps started vanishing, engine parts would disappear from previously running cars, one car had its interior partially stripped. He initially assumed that it was local thieves until a couple of months ago when he caught a couple of videographers going through one of his barns, documenting everything inside of it. While they waited for the sheriff to arrive (at gunpoint, FWIW), the videographers explained that they'd learned about the property through a "barn finds" auto blog and discussion board. Apparently, the property had been "found" about 18 months previously, was described as abandoned and had been visited a number of times by the members of this barn finds forum. They also solved a mystery. About six months prior, my dad had found some deep muddy ruts on an abandoned access road at the back of the property. We learned that a group of these guys had tried to "rescue" a very valuable and collectible car stored in one of the outbuildings, but had got stuck in the mud and had been planning on trying again. The property is now VERY well marked with signs prohibiting access, and we've re-strung the barbed wire fences around the perimeter. My dad also felled three trees to block some of the old access roads on the side and rear of the property to prevent any additional "rescue attempts". Our problem is that the original website STILL has the information online including detailed photos of everything we have on the property. They are still listing the exact location of the land, including directions about how to approach it to "avoid neighbors", but have added a few comments about "an angry old man living in a neighboring house who is trying to claim the abandoned property and derelict cars". Since catching the trespassers, our fences have been cut three times, a number of additional parts have vanished (including an irreplaceable steering wheel from a 1938 Mercedes Benz), and the barns have been forcibly broken into several times. So here's my question. Because this all started when the blogs primary authors trespassed on our property, documented our cars, and falsely labeled them as "abandoned", and because they continue to list them on their website, is there any chance that we could successfully sue them and recover some of the losses we've experienced over the past year? Between the new fence, signage, and the value of the lost parts, he estimates that we're probably out more than $15,000 at this point. We've identified the owner of the blog and believe that he has the financial resources to pay a judgment, but I'm not sure whether it's worth the effort. I personally know two lawyers. One is telling me to sue their arse off, and the other is telling me that we'd be wasting our time and money. So, /r/legaladvice, what's your take? Do we have a case? [link] [comments]  |
| Can my sister really take back custody of her/my son? [NJ] Posted: 08 Jan 2019 11:27 AM PST This is a complicated situation so I will use names: My sister will be Katy My husband will be Michael The child will be Evan My exBIL will be Cam 3 years ago, at the end of a long divorce from Cam, Katy just dropped Evan (a baby at this point) with our parents and disappeared. None of us knew where she went. My parents called the police, and CPS tried to place Evan with Cam, but he refused to have anything to do with him. At the time, I was the only one able to take in a kid, so I took custody of Evan. Michael and I eloped so he could have rights over Evan as well. For the last 3 years, Michael and I have been raising Evan. We go to all his events, spend weekends together as a family, take him every doctor's and dentists appointment: we are his parents. Evan knows that we are not his biological parents (he figured it out recently because Michael is black and Evan is white, but we would've told him anyway), but we are a family. We have been working on adopting Evan, but the state has to terminate Katy and Cam's parental rights first. This has been a very slow process, especially since they couldn't find Katy, so up until now, as I understand it, we have had custody of Evan but he isn't officially legally ours. Last month, Katy showed back up at our parents' house. She's been living there for the last month. I barely talk to her because I'm angry that she left. She told me she's working on getting a job so she can take back custody of Evan. Michael and I are really upset by this, obviously. We have been trying to research similar situations but can't find anything like this. Here are our questions: 1) Do we need to get a lawyer? If so, what kind? 2) Do we have legal claim to Evan because we've had custody of him for so long, even though he isn't our biologically? 3) Is it likely that we will lose custody of Evan?

| $400 ticket and 4 points for using a vape while driving. - BC, Canada Posted: 08 Jan 2019 05:56 AM PST Pretty cut and dry, officer pulled me over, specified the vape (which I'm using to stop smoking entirely), and cited me for using an electronic device (British Columbia motor vehicle act 214.2). Am I wrong for intending to fight this ticket? As this law was created to fight cell phone use while driving. I mean, I would not have gotten this ticket if I was smoking a cigarette behind the wheel. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2019 11:43 AM PST This doesn't seem very legal to me but I'm not entirely sure how it works considering New Jersey is an "at will" state. Can the business owner get fucked for this? Edit: also showed the owner that the employees legally don't have to pay the fee for direct deposit and explained that to the employees as well. I believe this is what happened prior to her being fired [link] [comments]  |
| Update: My Friends are Cracking Credit Cards.. Posted: 08 Jan 2019 01:37 PM PST First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my last post with advice, it meant a ton and I couldn't have done anything without you guys. So, following what all of you guys said my friend and I went into our counselors office, explained to him the situation, provided proof, and requested anonymity. Our anonymity was assured and we told everything. The counselor assured us that we'd be fine and went out to go intercept them during their SECOND order today (which is an alleged $200 of dominoes pizza). I'll update you all with any further questions if I have to, but once again, thank you so much. Location: Hawaii, USA [link] [comments]  |
| Fellow Attorneys, a Brief Question about a Possible Sovereign Citizen (NY) Posted: 08 Jan 2019 06:57 AM PST Let me start off with some background. I am an attorney that does work for a small local bank in New York. Part of that work is foreclosures, and to get to foreclosure on a deceased borrower, I sometimes need to file a petition with surrogate's court to have someone to serve for the deceased owner of the property. This is a fairly routine thing and for the past two years it has gone off without any issues. I had filed a petition, as I normally do, early last year. About a week and a half ago, we got a call from one of the family members insisting that we were violating her civil rights and she'd file a complaint against my office, and more specifically, me because I'm the lucky attorney who got to sign the paperwork. Cut to yesterday, I get into the office and find an IRS 1099-A form mailed from another family member saying I borrowed money on the properties and claiming a personal debt for me to him of over 1 million dollars. Not likely valid considering they only have my name and work address on it, not my social or anything like that. My concern though, is, if this is a sovereign citizen entering a campaign against me, I am informed that I probably need to keep an eye on my father's property (I own none at this time) because he shares a name with me and sovereign's will file liens on properties. Should I be concerned that this will happen? I am unfamiliar with the imaginary laws they follow or their methods, personally, so before I start getting really paranoid, or before I get my parents involved in keeping an eye out, I do want to make sure it is a valid concern and I am not just misinformed about their methods. I've discussed with my boss as well as some attorney friends and we just can't decide. EDIT: Follow up, should I also file a Form 3949-A to the IRS reporting fraudulent activity? [link] [comments]  |
| (California) Boss has been clocking me out for lunches I didn’t take Posted: 08 Jan 2019 10:12 AM PST rEfOrmAt tHiS I started working for this lady as a favor for a good friends mom. Started in October and have recently found out that she has been clocking me out for lunches I did not take, and even fucking around with the actual clock in/out time punches. There were some days where I would ask if she needed help with anything else or if I could clock out & she would say "No you're good to go, don't worry about your punches I already did them for you". Shady right ? I had been writing down all my hours since I began working there, including when I didn't take a lunch or a 15. When I first started I'd always take my lunch but after a while when I would ask she would tell me we were " too busy" and I needed to help with x work. I NEVER took 15s and the one time I did she pulled me to the side and asked if everything was okay because I seemed "off" and "not productive". There were some days I was working from 8-6:30 with no breaks. I found out how to view my time punches from the admin computer and found that the times I worked and what she put in the computer are waaaaaaaay off. Like almost an hour or two everyday off. I immediately took pictures of everything and I've been organizing the correct times vs. what she paid me for and it's adding up to be a lot ! Please help me I've never been in such a shitty situation before and would like to know the best way to handle this legally is. Thank you for you time/help. EDIT: I have brought this up to her three times and each time she has claimed it was an accident and the other coworker clocked me out. However I know this isn't true because I always log out after clocking in. I'm already looking for a new job, my mom doesn't think she will pay me even though I have proof she's been cheating me.

| My son left his apple watch at a "friend's" house and he won't return it. Posted: 08 Jan 2019 06:09 AM PST About a week ago, my son went to a friend's house for a small get together. These are all adults in their early 20's. My son took the watch off to wash his hands in the bathroom. Forgot it. The next day, he reached out to the friend and he confirmed that yes, his watch was there. However, the friend has been too busy to allow my son to go and collect it. Excuse after excuse. Last night i drove him over there because he knew this guy was home at that moment. They told him to come in. I obviously stayed in the car. Friend can't find the watch. We called the police. The friend tells the officer the watch is somewhere in his house but he must have misplaced it. What should be my son's next step? Or is this just a tough life lesson? Thanks for any advice!

| Fired for "no reason" after huge sale. Not paying commission. Posted: 08 Jan 2019 11:40 AM PST I'm in Minnesota. I've been working in a business to business sales position for the past 7 months. I was paid cheaply by hour plus 10% of sales as commission, and my boss encouraged me to "whale hunt" for big companies. After months of phone calls, meetings and hand holding, I got the confirmation Friday that the huge company I've been chasing was hiring us. They signed a 3 year agreement that projects to be about $150,000 per year. Yesterday morning I walk in and get called into the company director's office. He tells me he's thankful for my contributions to the company, but I'm being let go. Confused, I ask him why, and he says "no reason in particular." I mention the huge new client I signed Friday, and tells me I won't be paid anything because I no longer work there. I spent months chasing down leads at a reduced rate for the commission. The day after I make the huge sale (it's over a 10% boost in company wide business), I'm fired for no reason, and they don't have to pay me anything? What do I do now? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 08 Jan 2019 05:46 AM PST I purchased a puppy ($2,000) from a "reputable" breeder in our area. There were 2 dogs pregnant in October and we were suppose to receive one of their puppies, however neither of them gave birth. Next, there were four dogs pregnant, all expected to deliver around December except one in early January. We just reached out to them for an update and now they are telling us only one dog is pregnant and is due in February and all the other pregnancies had complications. We were lead to believe we would have a puppy around the New Year and now the earliest we could get is late April (if we are high enough on the waitlist and the pregnancy goes as planned). We found another puppy of the same breed already born in another state, but the breeder won't give our money back. We paid with a credit card and I've considered calling them and opening a claim to receive our money back from the credit card company. Would that be legal? I am in Florida. Thanks! edit: I am not worried about it being a scam, I have physically been to their place of business and seen their dogs (they have around 30). I did not sign a contract, but when I paid she gave a receipt and it said "non-refundable" on the receipt... but was not told that until then. There was an option to pay a down payment to get on the list, but if you paid full you were moved higher on the list. edit 2: We have contacted the credit card company and it's settled, we will receive payment back within 7 days. I'd like to thank all who responded, as it's my first reddit post, it is awesome to see people doing good firsthand and helping others, THANK YOU!!! [link] [comments]  |
| Am I in trouble if something happens to my bedridden boyfriend and I “ignored” him? Posted: 08 Jan 2019 11:01 AM PST I'm going to try really hard not to write a novel here. I am 27, he's 31 and we live in Oklahoma. Over the past five years or so, My boyfriend, Mike, has gotten so overweight he cannot move out of bed without assistance. He used to be so sweet, but as his health has declined, he gets mean and manipulative. We haven't weighed him in 2 years probably, but I would guess he weighs over 400 pounds. If I tell him I am tired from work and don't want to clean his back or change clothes he gets very mean. I did not want to be a nurse. We have someone that comes and helps once or twice a week but we can't afford more. We might be able to, but when I am at work he is always ordering food to be delivered with Postmates or door dash people. I have asked they stop giving him food but they will not help. I told him I want to leave, and he argued and said he loved me and would try to lose weight, but that was 6 months ago and he has done nothing to lose weight. I try to cook healthy for him and he eats it but then he orders more food when I'm gone and lies about how much he's eaten today. I don't want to play this game anymore. Im trying to move to my friends place and he keeps calling me saying he couldn't breathe, or he had fallen, or the nurse didn't show up to change him, all of which were lies! I told him I'm not coming anymore and he said if he dies and I know he's in trouble I could be arrested or deported because I'm not a US citizen. I don't know what to do. I'm don't want him to die but I don't want to see him anymore I want to move on with my life. But without me he will surely die. [link] [comments]  |
| Employer wants medical history in order to shop for insurance (ct). Posted: 08 Jan 2019 02:13 PM PST I work for a small company (maybe 30?) that offers health insurance. They are shopping around for better rates and asked me to fill out 2 forms that ask for very detailed information about any medical conditions and/or medications that I am on. Questions include any and all preexisting conditions including cancer, pregnancy, stds, infertility, addictions, treatment dates, and other sensitive information. I understand that this information is used for insurance companies to determine rates (although I thought part of the ACA was that preexisting conditions were not able to be taken into consideration when calculating that). There is no option that I can see to decline answering these questions and it explicitly says that if I am not truthful I could forfeit my insurance. I have no problem sending this information to the insurance companies, but it has to go through our HR person first and I am really uncomfortable with that. Currently I don't have any real health problems, but I have been diagnosed with a condition in the past, that I was hoping to get an updated diagnosis and medication at a February doctors appointment, but not if it means disclosing this to my employer. I wouldn't even share this with my family! Also, I am worried that if I ever did develop any other sensitive health conditions I would be forced to share them with this HR person in the future. Is this legal and what can I do about it without causing a fuss and/or lying on these forms and forgoing future treatment so as not to lose my insurance because of that omission. *edit a word.

| Can vet legally take my cat away from me ? Posted: 08 Jan 2019 06:58 AM PST Hello! 3 years ago, a friend of mine reached out to me regarding a cat that was left behind with food by her neighbors when they moved out. I took her to the vet to find out if she was microchip. The vet called the owner who did not answer the phone. I explained the situation and how she was just abandoned so the vet let me keep her. I have registered her on one of the microchip websites but she has also been registered on a different one as lost in February 2017, a year and half after I took her in. She is a really skittish cat and just not got around to let me come to her rather than wait for her to come to me. She's really cuddly at night but doesn't like people coming to her. I am wanting to take her to the vet - can the vet legally take her away from me ? Cat is in KY but was found in IN. Thank you everyone ! [link] [comments]  |
| I suspect my friend and his mom are in an incestuous relationship. Am I obligated to report him? Posted: 08 Jan 2019 06:55 AM PST I'm in WI for what it's worth. So basically my friend from high school (24M) has always been close to his single mom (42F, admittedly pretty attractive and doesn't look the age) but recently I've noticed how unusually close they've become. His mom is basically his girlfriend whom he takes out to dinner, watches movies, buys chocolates and flowers for and talks to on the phone like they're flirting. I've seen them out shopping holding hands and shit, and if I was a stranger I'd think they were a married couple or at least in a serious relationship. I knew there was more to their relationship than mother-son and the fact that he never showed interest in other girls his age was pretty telling. The thing that actually cemented my thoughts were when I was around at his and his mom's house one night and while they acted totally normal while I was around, as soon as I left by the front door I overheard (from a slightly-open window in the front, with blinds on so I couldn't see) him and his mom talking dirty to each other, then what I was pretty sure sounded like them kissing for a good while, undressing each other and then leaving the front room to go upstairs. Now it is pretty certainly consensual but the state I'm in has strict anti-incest laws. Should I keep silent on it or report it asap? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2019 05:12 AM PST I'm only 23. I was working as a nurse at a psych hospital and was assessing a patient in distress. They beat me up badly. I had a witness who saw everything and wrote a statement. I have scoliosis also. After claiming my injuries and going for treatment the state is saying that my injuries are due to my scoliosis! I don't want to give too many details but I have crushed and slipped discs in my neck and neuropathy because of this injury. I will have to have surgery but my spinal surgeon said it probably won't fix it and I will be in pain the rest of my life. I can barely sleep. My quality of life is awful. My lawyer told me to go to my doctor and have him specifically write that it is due to the injury, after the injury my doctor gave me and X-ray and said it was "clear" but referred me to a spinal surgeon who gave me MRI who diagnosed the discs problems and a biopsy which diagnosed the severe neuropathy. I wish I got the MRI from the start. So I went back to my doctor and he said "I don't want you to be on disability at such a young age this makes me uncomfortable" I was bawling. I said I I just need my medical bills paid, I need you to write this for me please I'm depending on this. He refused. I don't know what to do. It takes months to get a new doctor and I'm running out of time for the statue of limitations. (4 years) I don't know how I'm suppose to sustain a job working like this for the rest of my life. TLDR: healthcare worker assaulted at work badly by a psych patient known to beat up people. Witnessed by worker who wrote statement. Doctor did X-ray which was clear, then MRI showed crushed/slipped discs in neck and neuropathy by biopsy. State is Beaumont scoliosis. Have thousands in medical bills. Talked with lawyer who said to have doctor saying it related to injury. Doctor refusing to do so as "it makes him uncomfortable and doesn't want me on disability at such a young age" Ruining my quality of life, I don't know what to do, statue of limitations is running out.

| Posted: 08 Jan 2019 09:47 AM PST First off, sorry if this isn't the exact right place for this. But it's the best sub I could think of. So I currently work for a transportation company that mainly handles valet for hotels. I want to transfer into the hotel, specifically the front desk. The hotel management all want me to join their team. Unfortunately, the contract that the hotel and my current employer have, states that an employee cannot work for both companies due to conflicts of interest (Or something along those lines. I've never read the contract myself. This is what I've just been told) So the two options I have laid out in front of me are
I know option B is possible due to a coworker of mine moving from valet (My employer) to engineering (Hotel employer) I have tried to move over to the hotel before, and the Front Office Manager said everyone on the hotel side agreed to let me join. It was someone in my company that said no, and stopped the whole process. The reason that my old coworker was so easily able to transfer (In my opinion) is that he wasn't seen as extremely valuable. I'm a manager and I have a lot of responsibilities and tasks I do every day. So my boss doesn't want to lose me and have to refill that position. So after trying to move over before and not being able to, I want to try again. Working for the hotel versus the transportation company would be a lot more beneficial to me personally and professionally. So I want to tell my current boss that I'm putting in my two weeks and would really appreciate if he signed me over so I can work at the hotel. If he agrees, I move over no problem. If he doesn't, I leave anyway and work somewhere else for 6 months, then start making my way back to the hotel. So my boss loses me either way. So my legal advice question would be. How enforceable is this contract? I know it's tough to say without me actually having read it or know the complete details; but is it possible something like this isn't enforceable at all? Or someway around having to be unemployed from both companies for 6 months? Thank you in advance for all your answers! Once again, sorry if this isn't legal related enough! [link] [comments]  |
| Roommate (20F) is an Issue (called police, doesn't pay rent timely..) Posted: 08 Jan 2019 12:51 PM PST Florida. My roommate moved in with me in October and since then has proven to be a pain in my a**. I moved into my 2 bed 1 bath apartment in September 2018 and the roommate I had lined up ditched me. Frantically I searched for a roommate and found (settled) Anna. When she moved in we agreed on a certain price per month. ($650) which would include all utilities and wifi. Now rent is 1020 a month so she is paying more than half, but I paid all the setup fees, insurance, and security deposit on my own. One month (November) later she is late with rent, sixteen days late with rent during which we got into a huge argument about how I was charging her more than rent, etc. I said it didn't matter that's what we agreed on. So we changed the agreement to half rent half utilities and she pays online herself instead of paying me (and got it in writing and signed). Next month (December) I pay my share on time and get a notice on the door that rent hasn't been payed. Eventually she pays many days late. Meanwhile 3 of her family member are staying with us as their house is getting tented. A few days later I get a little suspicious they're still here and I know how long it takes to tent a house. I don't say anything though because I don't care and I'm never home anyways and barely see them hoping they'll just eventually leave. Then January. One morning I hear her dad and brother starting to get into a huge fight. VERY loud yelling, cursing. I was legitimately scared and I thought there was going to be a fight. Anyways I'm in my room dressing and I hear someone leave slamming the front door knocking artwork off the wall. I put pepper spray in my pocket and confront her brother "Is there a reason you're yelling and slamming doors?!" He ignores me and closes the bedroom door in my face. I text my roommate what happened as it appears she left. She responded with "There was yelling and slamming doors the other day. Your point?" I didn't know this was a repeat occasion I wasn't there the first time so it was news to me I respond "It makes me uncomfortable and it's inappropriate. Why are your parents still here?" She doesn't respond. 5 minutes later four police officers show up saying they got a call from our apartment from a female. The mother, brother, and I are standing at the door and we all say we didn't call the police. I turns out my roommate called the police then left for work. At this point I am fuming mad. I go off on the mom telling her how ridiculous this was blah blah profanity blah. The police question us and finally leave and I text my roommate that her family needs to be gone within the week which she said was ok. Now its the 7th and I get a post on the door saying rent isn't satisfied for the month (we have 5 days). This is literally hell and I don't know what to do. She is ruining my credit and rental history. I would really like to get rid of her but she is on the lease. PLEASE HELP ME!! tl;dr my roommate never pays rent on time and is disturbing me [link] [comments]  |
| My Dog Was Critically Injured in an Auto Crash Posted: 08 Jan 2019 10:00 AM PST I'm still reeling but I wanted to post this as fast as I could. On mobile, at the hospital, so I hope the formatting is ok. My mother was driving home when she was T-boned on the driver's side by an SUV that ran a red light. Her car was totaled, and while she only sustained superficial injuries, our Shiba Inu, Sachiko, wasn't so lucky. Her spinal column was severed in the crash and her prognosis was so poor (full body paralysis / quadruplegy) she had to be euthanized. Michigan is a "no fault" insurance state, but this driver's negligence essentially killed my dog. The animal hospital is willing to provide an affidavit regarding the nature of her injuries and her grim prognosis; there were witnesses (government contracted workers) at the scene of the crash that were interviewed by the police. Does my family have any legal recourse? The fact that this person could get away with only a ticket for killing my dog is unacceptable to me. [link] [comments]  |
| [California] Landlord rented out my room on Airbnb while I was on vacation. Posted: 07 Jan 2019 07:29 PM PST As per the title I found out my landlord rented out my room on Airbnb while I was on vacation for a little over two weeks. I arrived back after vacation with my stuff all in the closet and some mild "cleaning". My landlord claims my room had issues so they were fixing it. My two roommates in the house however say otherwise. He's rented out an upstairs room on Airbnb before and apparently this time he rented out mine. Is there anything I can do here? I have a month to month rent agreement and I just feel violated. Feeling like I'm shit out of luck and I'm not sure if I should even bring it up and make him aware I KNOW what he did and to not do it again. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2019 09:59 AM PST So I have a great job I love, and thanks to the benefits I had health insurance for the first time last year. I just had my first child on December 21st with my fiance, who is not going back to her current job and looking for something new. I'll be very transparent with my finances. I make $10 an hour, 40 hours a week. For just me on my insurance, it's $240 a month, so instead of bringing home $1600 a month, I bring home a little over $1000 after taxes taken out. Which is fine, it's great having insurance and taxes are taxes, suck for everyone. Adding my son to my insurance will cost an additional $240 a month. This will leave me bringing home about $800 a month. It seems really high to be paying 30% to 40% of my check just in insurance, and is going to hurt me a lot. I have supplemented my income by doing transcripts on the side as a contract position. So I work about 20 hours a week on these, and bring home about $800 a month. Since this is a contract position, I'll owe a lot of taxes on this money, and am really bringing home probably $400 to $500 if I'm lucky since I'll owe Social Security and Medicaid plus regular income tax. It's really going to hurt to work 60 hours a week like this and bring home so little. (About $1200 of the $2400 I'm earning.) I feel like I'm working just for insurance with my full time job. What other options could I be looking at? Could Affordable Care be available to me even though my company offers insurance? Could my fiance and baby be on Medicare while she's unemployed looking for a job? Just any advice for a young dad who feels way over his head is greatly appreciated. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| [Arizona] GF Breaking Up With Me & I Want The Dog Posted: 08 Jan 2019 08:03 AM PST GF is leaving. Says she wants space. I'll leave the rest of that for /r/relationships I'm here because I want our dog - and I would be willing to take her to court over it so I'm just getting my head together way in advance in case she won't give in and let me have it... I plan to cut contact completely, so sharing the dog is not an option. I want it outright and then to never speak with her again so I can move on and be healthy and I truly believe I would be the best solo owner for the dog. Anyway, here goes: We rent a single family home that has both our names on the lease. I make the rent payments and she has never helped with them. All the utilities are under her name though and she does pay those (probably about 30% of rent). I own basically everything inanimate we've ever bought so I'm not too worried about claiming all those things, but there is one thing I did not get: the dog. She got the dog on a whim while I was away 3 years ago. She bought the dog itself and the initial stuff for it. She never took care of it though. I slept on the downstairs couch of our old place for months (the thing was 6wks when we got it). I used to let it out at that place once every 10-30mins every night for the first 6-12months. Whether she had to potty or just needed that constant puppy energy worn out, I was ALWAYS on the job. It's always been that way, and because of it - the dog absolutely loves me. It's a running joke between my gf and I (er...my ex?) but it's sad because it's true: the dog loves me more, period. GF will even concede that the dog only listens to me and no one else. That's not it though. The main reason I feel entitled to my pup is because these things: - I've bought all the food, every toy, treat, etc (she literally has a good 50-100 toys lmao...) from the very start. - For the first year and half it was always me to feed her until we started giving her breakfast at 4am (when Gf leaves to work) which lead to GF feeding her then and then ultimately at night too since she would need dinner earlier than I got home. - My gf has never once detailed and cleaned the water bowl we have that runs a pump/filter. - She's never bought a single set of filters for the water. - She has never walked the dog without me, once. I always am the one to walk her or take or to the park to play if it happens. GF has tagged along maybe 1 in every 25 times. Kid you not. - She has never clipped the dogs nails, trimmed her hair, or brushed her teeth once (I clip her nails regularly, trim hair once every few months and brush her teeth 5x a week...) - I also host the playdates for our dog every Saturday morning while GF is at work, without question, and BATHE her EVERY time afterward. Yes I wash my dog 52x a year, and she hates water so I have to get her in the shower with me and...well, that part is funny but not really part of the story here :p I mean I could go on and on and on with this stuff. I pay for absolutely everything and provide all the care for the dog, and my GF makes way less money, I'm half worried for her to move out because she's going to go broke so fast - how could she possibly afford a pet deposit (which mind you I covered at $200 along with the $1000 security deposit for our rental) and how could she continue to provide the same stuff we've given the dog all along? $20/mo toys and treats, $20/mo food, $5-10/mo toothpaste, $5/mo water filters, etc etc etc. It all adds up! The ONLY thing I don't have here is that my GFs name is on the adoption papers. I even paid for the initial vet visits and follow up shots. And we have to take her again (been too long) and I would ultimately pay for that too. I mean all I really want to know here is: do I have a case? Should I even worry? I ask this because my GF is wanting space and to be away. She said it would mean we were broken up but would still talk to me if I wanted, and it might help her see things clearly and change her mind and come back. I told her if she wants space to figure out things, that we shouldn't be sharing a dog, especially since it would make the most since for the dog to live with me in the home where we already have a doggy door, which she so desperately needs, and a nice backyard - and would be living with the person who provides for her the most. I plan to cut contact completely, so I just want to convince her to let me have the dog and her to understand it means she'll never see it again, EVER. I know my GF, and I know myself too because I would be the same way...she isn't going to want to let go completely that easily. Why would she? So in that event, I would take her to court, and probably win just by default since my GF could never conjure the money for real attorney fees. I could muscle her out of it financially, but if I didn't have a case I would never want to risk it. Any advice???? [link] [comments]  |
