| *UPDATE* My sons mothers bf made him pee in a pill bottle Posted: 30 Aug 2019 03:56 AM PDT I posted the link to the original post at the bottom of the page. I've been working on things on my end but 4 days back cps made my sons mother take a drug test. She failed and they came to pick up the kids and she wouldn't let them in. The police had to kick the door in and take the kids. They then placed them with her father. Nobody had notified me or called me about any of this or my son. I had been calling once a day to check on him and not getting an answer. I eventually called her stepfather who informed me what had happened and asked if anyone had called me and I told him they haven't. I had no idea about any of it. When I found out yesterday I immediately went to cps and met with the caseworker who told me to go home and she would be there within an hour to check my home to make sure my son could live there. I waited all night and nobody ever came or called. I'm preparing to go to cps when I get off of work this morning. Is there anything I should be doing besides talking to cps who really don't seem to care at all about how badly I want my son with me where he is taken care of and safe? I feel like all of these events were hidden from me due to the fact that I could get my son based on these events. Should I still get a lawyer for custody or could the state give me custody over this matter? Edit: CPS removed my son from his grandfathers and gave me full custody! Thanks for all of the advice! He's so excited to see me and be with me! Edit 2: Thanks for my first gold and silver I just wish it was under better circumstances! Thanks so much though! [link] [comments]  |
| Update!! Nurse who physically defended herself against a patient. Posted: 30 Aug 2019 02:19 PM PDT My hearing with HR was concluded today. I took everyone's advice and weighed my words carefully. I also used RN Guardian to obtain affordable legal representation. The police were not involved. The nursing state boards were not involved. And I was NOT fired. I will receive a written warning. I will return to work Tuesday. And I will be given backpay for the shifts missed due to being suspended. This has turned out better than I could ever have imagined and I am very thankful to each and every person on here that offered me advice. Thank you so very much! I am still going to be looking for another full time job, but will be able to continue working where I am (100% away from that male nurse who put me in that situation) until I find a new hospital.

| [TX] Being told I cannot use a lawyer for traffic ticket Posted: 30 Aug 2019 05:57 AM PDT Got a speeding ticket back in February, court clerk at the tiny rural courthouse requested certain documents from me. I emailed them over and asked if I was "good to go just sending in these documents". The court clerk replied via email "YES" with no other info. She didn't mention that they were mailing me non-certified mail with required fines and an affidavit I needed to return after 180 days that I had not made any traffic violations. Never got it in the mail or knew to ask about it, so now I have a warrant. Furthermore the one lawyer I talked to said that he couldn't take my case because when I first emailed the court, that was choosing to represent myself. He said legally I cannot get any lawyer involved. Is that BS? Now that I haven't received my documents, I just want to get some generic traffic lawyer to push out my date and get the case dismissed.

| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:28 PM PDT Hi all. I can't say the name of the company and I'm going to be vague as possible. We're doing what techies do, which is technical stuff and like most companies, we're contracted to do those jobs. I started this position a month ago and recently the managers here are saying that I shouldn't "we'll comp you for lunch but we need people here all the time while the project is going on" AKA order doordash, eat at your desk and expense it out but you don't leave. I've mentioned several times I prefer to just go outside or to my car to eat because I feel like otherwise I'm here all day and I don't even take my 2 15 minute breaks and if I sit at my desk and eat that's still work to me, I'm just snacking. This has escalated to "where are you" phone calls and text when I take my lunch. Part of me feels like I should play along and not lose this dream opportunity, but the other part of me can't find anything wrong with just not wanting to sit in their building and eat lunch and not wanting to be harassed for it. This also feels they're building a case to just terminate the contract completely for me and they'll have to present it to the contractor and say "this is what's happening, here's why we need to terminate." I feel like I'm being taken advantage of because I'm still here for 8.5 hours everyday if it was 8 hours with a working lunch I could be OK with that as it means I'm getting paid. I'm here 8.5 hours a day and I'm getting 30 minutes deducted from me which means every week that it's anticipated I'm taking those 30 minutes to myself and I'm acting as such. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Aug 2019 09:06 PM PDT I made a post several months ago ( https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/aufhd2/abuser_is_coming_to_the_us_to_ruin_our_lives_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app ) that sheds at least a bit of light on the kind of people I'm dealing with. Long story short: My husband, myself and our 3 kids owned a home with my in laws and their 3 daughters. My mother in law abused me for 5 years, and ended up giving me PTSD, GAD and ultimately threatened my life when I tried to leave. It also came out that she had been continuously molesting my son (who is 4 now). When confronted she claimed it was her right and there was nothing wrong with it. FIL took her side. I left immediately with my kids and stayed at my parents for 3 months while my husband tried to find a job out of state so we could move. Child services have been involved in 3 states (CT, where the abuse happened, NC where I stayed with my kids at my parents for 3 months this summer, and NJ where we live now with my husband). I ended up needing a restraining order, filed against both of his parents (I can send mods proof) and a TRO was granted, the day before the final hearing my FIL begged my husband that he had changed and was against my MIL and wanted to make things right and wanted to go to abuse counseling. I fell for it and dismissed his restraining order at the final hearing. I intended to self represent as it's a pretty clear cut and dry case, but my MIL, who speaks fluent English and has been here for 25 years, pretended not to speak or understand anything in English including being asked to raise her right hand. She got a translator. This was a giant ass red flag to me, and I feel like I need a lawyer, so I asked the judge to extend the TRO and adjourn the final hearing for a week, which she granted. Over 5 years she's traveled through states and banged on windows in the middle of the night to try and get my husband and I divorced, threatened to kill herself if I didn't live with her, and that's not even the beginning. There are about 20 instances listed on the TRO. Please help. What the fuck do I do and how do I make sure this lady is never near me and my children again. Clarification: we live in New Jersey my MIL still lives in Connecticut, we are NOT in the same home anymore. Update: I have a lawyer now! I feel much better and confident that it was the right decision. Thank you all so much! [link] [comments]  |
| Boss forged my signature on discipline papers Posted: 30 Aug 2019 11:45 AM PDT I work in Massachusetts for a large cell phone carrier. A few weeks ago I was written up for something ridiculous, and my boss didn't give me any documentation on the write up like he was supposed to. I ended up pulling the documentation up online and I noticed that someone attempted to forge my signature on the paperwork. I am not required to sign anything for my company besides my pay check and I never would anyways. I called HR about it and the investigation was closed due to "insufficient evidence". Go figure. Is this illegal? I understand my company wants to push it under the table but what are my rights in this situation? I don't want this to lead to termination eventually and then I can't fight it because they think I consented to the discipline via this fake signature. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 08:39 AM PDT An ex employee stole less than $2,000.00 of rent money from tenants. She was fired and we reported it to the police. A felony warrant was issued for her arrest. Her father has since repaid what she stole and pled to us to help get the charges dropped. Is this possible or is it now out of our hands? [link] [comments]  |
| Can a California based company claim ownership of an IP I developed for a UK based startup? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 03:56 AM PDT I don't live in the US, nor am I a US citizen, but I've worked at a California based company for almost three years as a remote software developer. Before I started working there I signed a pretty standard PIIA through DocuSign. During my last couple of months at this company, the money the company had was tight. So, I asked my bosses how much longer this would continue, and that I needed money to survive. They said they were not sure, and I told them that I would then be working part time on their company, and start looking for other projects that could pay me. My bosses said that they were fine with that and even offered to help me find another part-time gig. I told them that I didn't any help from them and found, through another connection, another startup based in the UK and started spending the other half of my time working there. After a while, I quit working at the California based company since they didn't seem like they would be paying the money they owed me, and started working at the UK based startup full time. Fast forward to now, things have gone way south with my now ex-employers and, as per the PIIA I signed with them years ago, they are threatening me with claiming ownership of the product I developed for the UK based startup. Neither I, nor this UK based startup has any presence in the US whatsoever. Can this California based company claim any ownership of the stuff I developed for the UK based startup? If so, how does that work? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 11:40 AM PDT Hi all, I recently moved out of my last apartment (located in Texas) and I just received my security deposit statement. I was fined $649.43 for things that simply aren't true.
After using my $250 security deposit, I owe $399.43 (this includes my final water and electric bills as well). What can I do?? I don't have any photos, and the complex has a copy of the original move in checklist, but I'm not sure if they'll give it to me. 2 people helped me moved in/out and can confirm all of the above. Can I somehow convince (or threaten) the complex to remove these charges? Will a small claims court take my case? Please please help me you wonderful legal geniuses. [link] [comments]  |
| Pulled aside and detained at my kid's high school football game for taking pictures - Fullerton, CA Posted: 29 Aug 2019 08:05 PM PDT Some back story. I have three kids at the local high school. All are involved in extracurricular activities that I almost always attend, almost always take pictures of, and frequently post the pictures to my website and invite other parents to view and download the pictures. My oldest has been there for four years, all of which I've been on the sidelines taking pictures. My second has been there two years, where I've always taken pictures at her competitions. My youngest that is there just had his second game, I've been to both of them. I've got a large professional camera, it is a large full frame camera, with a grip, and a 70-200 mm 2.8 lens (If you don't know cameras, it's a huge combination that weighs about 7 pounds and sticks out like a sore thumb, not something you can discretely take pictures with). At today's game, towards the end of the third quarter, I was approached by two city police officers and was informed that someone had reported that I was taking pictures of cheerleaders. They told me that they need to investigate and see if a crime was committed and searched my camera (They asked, and like a dumbass I said they could). During the search, they found four blurry photos of grass, two of which in the top corner had a blurry picture of a woman's leg, and the two others had a blurry bottom section of a man in a lawn chair. This escalated into a whole line of questioning. I believe that as I was walking along the sideline, I accidentally pressed the second shutter release on the grip, and since it was in high speed burst mode, it captured a handful of frames. In fact, the officer who was holding my camera did the same thing at one point, and accidentally took a group of photos while holding it. About 10 minutes into this, I asked if I could return and watch the game. I was told "No, you need to stay here." So I stayed there, and missed the entire fourth quarter, and quite a bit of time of my kid playing. In the end, they filed an "information report", which they clarified isn't a criminal report, just a report that someone called, they investigated. I clarified with them that taking pictures in public is not illegal, and they agreed. Then one of them told me "But taking pictures of minors in public is illegal, and we need to investigate if a crime occured". My questions: Could I have legally told the cops "No, you can't see my camera.", even though they claimed that me taking pictures of minors would be a crime. Even if I was taking pictures of people there, that is not illegal, and so there would be no suspicion that any crime would have been committed based on the call that the police received. Are the cops correct that it is illegal to take pictures of minors in public? My understanding is that it is perfectly legal to take pictures of people in a public place if there is no expectation of privacy, which on the sidelines of a football game there is not that expectation. Was I illegally detained? I specifically asked if I could leave and go back to watching the game, and was very clearly told "No, you need to stay here". Going back to my earlier question, if someone called saying that I was taking pictures of the freshman cheerleaders, that is not illegal (Even though I wasn't doing this, it would still be legal if I was), so there is no reasonable suspicion that a crime has occured, so the cops would have no conceivable legal reason to detain me. Should I file a complaint against the officers? The more I'm thinking about this, the more angry I'm getting. They took me aside in front of my three children and their friends, obviously searching my camera and questioning me. I feel I was illegally detained, I feel like they searched my camera for no legal reason (Even though I did agree to let them search, they had no basis to ask in the first place). In addition, they went and asked the assistant principal who I'm friends with (Her son is on the team with my son, and they were in scouts together and we often chat at the games) about me, what I'm doing there, and presumably told her that they're investigating me taking pictures of the cheerleaders. Do I have any recourse here besides being resentful of the police? This was in Fullerton, CA. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 09:48 AM PDT I'm honestly just curious and weighing the options of how I can maintain a nomadic lifestyle while I have a child on the way. I'm obviously not against other housing options, simply curious about the laws/CPS regulations regarding raising a newborn in an RV, and living primarily in an RV in general. From what I've read, it's a fairly common practice, although i haven't seen many topics about doing it with newborns. I wouldn't do it if there was absolutely any risk my child would be seen as being raised in an unfit environment. Again... this is just out of curiosity. The idea isn't even on my radar until I know it's 100% legally safe and CPS- proof. I'm in Ohio if it matters, although if I choose to live in an RV am I really technically FROM any ONE state?

| Any legal recourse for a potentially-violent, belligerent apartment neighbor? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 06:12 AM PDT Hi all. Apologize for the long post. EDIT: We are in Texas, sorry. My roommate and I are in the process of moving out of our current apartment complex, and have had zero negative interactions with our neighbors in the year we lived there - until two days ago. Apparently, our next-door neighbor's husband came back home after being away "for 6 months" on an unclear worktrip. He parked in our apartment's reserved spot, and when my roommate got home from work he spent 30 min trying to figure out who's car it was (knocked on ALL our neighbor's doors with no answer) before going to the office and asking if he had the right to tow. They said yes, and called the tow company and the car was removed. After I got home from work ~about 40 minutes later, we had a knock on the door from a man who claimed that someone told him that my roommate had his car towed, and that he was "upset" because he "just got back into town" and now had to spend money that he didn't have to spare. He further started yelling that it was "super uncool" to just tow someone's car instead of trying to figure out who owned it. Roommate explained (calmly, btw) that the parking spot had RESERVED clearly stated, and that he spent time trying to figure out who the car belonged to but no one answered / he had never seen the car or the man before in his life. The man continued to raise his voice and get very close to stepping into our apartment, so my roommate told him that he had no choice and continued to say the spot was reserved before saying that the man should take it up with the office if he had any other concerns before going to close the door. The man just said "okay, I got you, mother******, I got you, just wait and see what happens" before storming off. Keep in mind that we have NO IDEA who he is, have never seen him before in our lives, and had NO IDEA what apartment he belonged to prior to the towing. Since that altercation, he has done the following things:
While my roommate and I are moving out of this apartment complex, the way this individual has made us feel (and shown the capacity to follow us / try to get information from our neighbors) has made us feel uneasy and unsafe, over HIMSELF parking in a reserved parking spot. We still have to go back today to finish cleaning, but we don't know if any bodily harm may come to us with the way he is acting. Our complex has no cameras, and this is basically "he said, she said" between ourselves and the neighbors. His wife has said that she will talk to him and that she doesn't agree with his attitude, but he has still persisted. Any advice would be appreciated. EDIT: My roommate's car is registered, it's just unfortunately expired by about a year due to outstanding balance with the transportation authority in our area (toll tag charge of $1300 due to a family member, from my understanding) and being told his vehicle would not pass an inspection / emission's test and would thus not be eligible to get an updated registration. I'm not very familiar with vehicle processes, as I simply get an inspection done every year and then go pick up my updated registration, so forgive me if I'm wrong / not understanding. TL;DR: Apartment neighbor that hasn't been there in 6 months has been threatening my roommate and I to the point we feel unsafe, over himself getting towed for being in our reserved spot. Even though we are moving, we don't know what will happen if we go back there tonight. [link] [comments]  |
| My background check showed my potential landlord 47 different felonies that I never committed Posted: 29 Aug 2019 09:59 PM PDT I met with a landlord in my city (northern California) to rent out one of his units. He ran a background check on my SS and called me saying that there are about 47 different felonies associated with my social, including but not limited to: DUI, burglary, methamphetamine posession, driving without licence plates. In addition to all of this, the crimes are reported from all over California from the Bay Area to Fresno to Los Angeles. In reality, I've only been to court once for a misdemeanor speeding ticket. Never been arrested or convicted of a felony in my life. I'm extremely confused, is this identity theft or is there another logical explanation for why all these things would show up on my record?

| Old roommate holding pieces of furniture hostage Posted: 30 Aug 2019 04:26 AM PDT We were roommates last year and when we had moved out I had moved pieces of good furniture into his place because I had no where to put it for two weeks. It was a nice couch and desk and office chair, totally usable stuff not like junk or anything. But over the course of the year I'd ask about the stuff and he'd tell me he's using it or his roommate is so I just let them hold on to it. They never complained to me about anything or set a time or date to get my stuff if it was such a problem. So now that i'm trying to get my stuff hes holding it hostage unless I give him 100 dollars for my own furniture that I know they used. This is a long time friend and I wouldn't expect this kind of bullshit from him. Im not giving him money to get my own shit. What can I do legally to get my stuff? [link] [comments]  |
| Can they make a 14 year old admit something that’s not true? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 10:38 AM PDT So my friend and another boy recently got threats on Snapchat because she didn't have her location on. She took a bunch of screenshots of them and the boy got the dudes location which is in Africa. We live in Kentucky so it's not even the same continent. So the boy and my friend both reported them to the school officer and both were questioned separately. I thought it was over then, but today, my friend got called to the principals office and the accused her of making a new account and threatening herself, because the account was deactivated or something. The boy also got called in and the kept trying to get him to say my friend did it and it was her account. They wouldn't let him leave until lunch period. Can they hold a kid in the office if they don't admit something that wasn't true? Can my friend be charged for something she didn't do? [link] [comments]  |
| Condo HOA wants to rekey our unit Posted: 30 Aug 2019 01:22 PM PDT My wife and I live in a condo that we own. We are located in Central Ohio in the United States. This morning the condo HOA board sent out an email that said that they will be rekeying all of the units in our building so that they can gain access to our homes if we're not there. They said it was for maintenance of the fire suppression system and in the event of a burst pipe or something. My wife and I are both pretty upset about this and we don't want the board or the property management company that they hired to have access to our home. In the email they quoted the Declaration of Condominium and By-Laws saying: "The Declaration of Condominium contemplated this need and reserved an easement and right of the Association to enter every unit when needed, with proper advance notice for 'routine' type matters, but without notice in the event of an emergency." Does this give them the right to have a key to our home? And if not would it be worth pursuing legal action against them or should I just save my money and rekey the door myself immediately after they do it? Thanks in advance for any help.

| Company I left says I'm liable for damages to a customer's home while I was employed there. Posted: 30 Aug 2019 08:16 AM PDT A quick review of this company and my history with them. They are a contractor for home depot to install doors (entry, interior, storm, and patio doors). Home depot sends them all the customers that want their doors installed for them for a fee. My old employer, then takes these customers, sends a measure guy out to measure the openings and note all material needed for the job. Then once the measure is done, they send a sub contractor that works for them to install the door. Now, in order to be a sub contractor with this company you have to have all the items necessary to own your own business ( business license, business liability insurance etc.) When I was hired, i was hired to be the guy that comes out and does the measure, I'll also go out and service any issues with an installation and make notes accordingly. I came into this business with no experience, other than I used to weld hollow metal doors and frames together. I've never installed a door before then. After I was hired they started training for installs which i was confused about but in order to properly measure, you need to know the basis of installs a bit so okay. We trained maybe 2 days of install and the rest was me following around them as they did measure for about another few days. After that they handed me the keys to the van and sent me out installing storm doors. Many times from there I wouldn't have the tools needed to do a job correctly or the tools wouldn't work properly. I picked it up relatively quickly but a lot of it was self taught on the job via photos and YouTube videos. A couple months go by and I ask them when I can start only doing measures like I was hired to do. They're response was basically that position was no longer needed because they lost a huge portion of they're territory (because of discrepancies on their part with home depot.) If I wanted to keep a job I would have to become a sub contractor and buy their Van from them and their tools they gave me for installing. So I told them sorry I would have to leave but i would finish out my last month with them. This morning when I dropped the van off at the office, they start asking me questions about a job. Apparently when i was doing an install the customer said I damaged his deck and siding. I do see where there was damage to his deck but not to his siding. They said they would have to get back to me about the damages once their insurance did an investigation and I would have to pay for the damages. If I knew that I would be liable for damages I would have gotten my own liability insurance to protect me from something like this happening. Can they do this? Does lack of tools aid my defences? I'm not a subcontractor, I'm a employee with their company. I've never heard of them doing this to any of their employed installers either. Should I contact the home owner and offer to fix them? I appreciate the feed back! [link] [comments]  |
| [WI] Brain Dead Patient, Doctors not allowing transfer overseas Posted: 30 Aug 2019 05:56 AM PDT [WI] Brain Dead Patient From Overseas, cannot transport Hi folks, Thank you for the help. I recently had a friend in Wisconsin enter a coma and was designated as brain dead. He has opted-in to be an organ donor and is also from overseas where his family is, we believe there may be some negative incentive given he is an organ donor to keep him here. While I understand his chances to live are slim to none, this isn't my call - I was called in to help translate for his family. Any help would be appreciated. We are currently in Wisconsin and the doctors have told the family that they cannot move the patient to his home country where there is a hospital that is willing to take him, a Wisconsin specific law. In addition, the physcian has mentioned that he at his discretion has the ability to pull the plug (regardless of having a life-sustaining issue where doctor decides if procedure is needed) despite his wife and parents being present to make the judgement. This being said, does anyone know of certain circumstances where the patient can be move to a different state where the transport is allowed or if there is anyway to get around this designation. In addition, to the legality of the physicians claim as from my understanding despite not having power of attorney the family, given no medical issues needing surgery, has the power to pull the plug. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 06:35 AM PDT Gf is still currently attending a local college (the one we met at) and will be doing so for the next 2 years. She is here on a student visa. She says she doesn't want me to feel like she's using me for citizenship but she doesn't know any other way outside of marriage for her to get it. Her family is trying to force her into a paper marriage, however neither of us want that. They've given her a deadline of 1 year. What are our options here? Edit: her family isn't forcing her to marry me. They have someone already picked out they want her to marry. [link] [comments]  |
| 18 wheeler sideswiped my car on the interstate and ran. What are my options? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 10:48 AM PDT I was in the right lane and the trucker was in the middle lane. The lane I was in turned into an exit only lane so I sped up to get in front of the trucker. All of a sudden, he veers over and swipes the side of my car and clips the driver side rear tire. Thankfully, my car did not spin out nor was I or my friend who was with me injured. Anyway, the trucker speeds up and just keeps going. I follow him back into the exit lane which exits onto a toll road. I follow him down the toll road for about two miles, aggressively honking, while I'm on the phone with 911. The trucker then pulls to the shoulder and stops. I stop behind him, and my friend gets out to go talk to him because I'm near in tears. Right as my friend goes up to the cab door, the trucker looked him in the eye and then sped off. At this point I wasn't going to chase him anymore. I did get a picture of the plate number and the vehicle ID number. (It was an Amazon Prime truck) I filed a police report and contacted my insurance and had them file a claim with the trucking company's claim department. (Amazon outsources drivers and trucks for their deliveries). Now it's a waiting game. In the meantime, I'm curious as to if I would be able to press charges against the driver? What exactly can I do? The damage I have to my car is probably a bit over $1,000. I also had to miss work the next day to file the report and deal with my insurance. I know I need to wait to see what my insurance returns with, but I can't stop thinking about this incident. Note: I'm not out to get this guy just because he hit my car, but because of the fact that he refused to stop and was driving recklessly in a huge 18-wheeler. The outcome of the collision could have been SO much worse. I just want to make sure that he loses his job and hopefully faces criminal charges. *Also, I'm located in Texas. [link] [comments]  |
| Roommate not leaving the apartment after lease ended on August 1st. How to kick him out right away? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 02:36 PM PDT I have a roommate that is STILL leaving in our house for another month after housing contract ended (His contract ended on July 31st or Aug 1st). He also lied to me twice when he's going to leave (one time around July 22nd before I leave apartment for field camp that he's leaving on July 31st, second time he's leaving on Aug 26th, but he told the office that hes leaving on Sept 2nd but doubtful. Last weekend after I came back from field camp, I asked the apartment office if he renewed (Since he was living in one of my roommates room) and they said he didn't and their manager will look into this case but its still in progress since all the managers are busy... but I want him out by today or tom (I came back to the apartment on Aug 23rd for fall semester and pretty much lived with a trespasser for a week while talking with the office to kick him out.) None of other roommates wants him here and he jacked up the utility bill during summer break (If he left on august 1st while all of the roommates including myself are gone for summer break, we shouldn't suppose to get charged $99 for electric for august). He also didn't payed 5 months worth ($180) of utility bill (I'm the utility account holder and he's making "I don't have money type" of excuses to not pay the utility (rent/housing contract is independent not tied with us only the utility). I was thinking of calling the police but I am an international student and not familiar with evicting a trespasser (He's obviously a trespasser right? I mean hes living here without paying anything for a month now, one of my roommate gave him permission to use his room for a short period probably a few days after Aug 1st since he live in CA and it will take time for him to get a flight ticket...but this doesn't mean anything if hes off the contract right) through police and I never called the police before so little bit of hesitant for that. I tried to kick him out through the office since I'm comfortable talking with them but the managers are damn slow with everything. What do you suggest to kick him out ASAP? ps Why do I have to deal with this in my third year of studying in US...sigh [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:15 PM PDT Have been living in a hotel for over 30 consecutive days. Exactly a year and a half. I pay daily and am charged taxes daily. I know in my state of Texas, after 30 days I am to become exempt but this has not happened. I have never been late on a payment and my daily rate varies from day to day. I have mail sent to me at the address and hotel room. Cleaning services no longer come by my room due to my long term stay. Management of the hotel has never notified of the tax exempt law. Now, after my fathers death I had to go out of town for the services and am behind 3 days. Hotel is now threatening to call police to have me kicked out unless they receive payment by a specified time today. What rights do I have? Am I entitled to the taxes I have paid after the first 30 days? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 05:34 AM PDT When I bought the property my real estate agent told me the neighbor wanted to buy this strip, so I'm thinking it's safe to say the neighbor is aware of the situation. It's been a few years and I've been okay with him mowing, feeding/watering this strip as it's right up against his house. Was told recently of the possibility that he could assume/acquire this as his own has me on edge and need some advice on what my options are to nip this in the bud. The strip is about 10'x80'.
