    Legal Advice Landlord claiming she needs to move back into the house i’m renting from her


    Landlord claiming she needs to move back into the house i’m renting from her

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 08:30 AM PST

    Hey, all!! This is in Oklahoma.

    I'm two months into a 6-month rental agreement with a family friend. We have a semi-formal written agreement that includes how long the lease is, rent amount, and the people living in the house. It's signed by both of us. I have the only copy.

    This morning, she texted saying that she needs to move back home because she can't afford the place she's living in anymore.

    If it's worth anything, she's a fugitive from the law so I don't think she'd go to the courthouse and actually file an eviction notice, but I can't be sure. Can she send someone on her behalf?

    Any and all advice would be appreciated!

    Is my landlord required to provide heat if I'm leasing a room?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 05:16 AM PST

    I'm currently leasing a room in San Mateo, CA and my landlord doesn't provide heat. There's a heater, but neither I nor other housemates are allowed to use it. It regularly drops to 45 degrees in the house. Is this legal?

    Parents put $11,000 on credit in my name.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 09:12 AM PST

    UPDATE: I've told my parents that I know this is fraud. They immediately called the credit card company and cancelled the card. Which I guess I'm relieved? I've never dealt with credit cards because my parents have never let me use it. So what happens now? My parents are currently threatening to take me off of their insurance or to find another one and to remove themselves from my car loan. I have no clue what to do.

    I'm currently 21, this credit card was opened in 2015. My parents had originally told me that they would help build my score which I had no clue what that meant at the time, so I let it be. Times gone by and I've joined credit tracking apps to keep an eye on my score. My parents have a credit card in my name which I've never really thought as odd until now.

    Recently I've been getting emails about the debt on that card. I've told my parents about it but they've just swept it under the rug. Today I decided to take a look into Credit Karma and had found that the debt on the card has doubled and my credit score has dropped 38 points. I'm completely blown.

    I've tried talking to my mother but that's ended in a screaming fight. I don't know what to do. Any advice is appreciated.

    Someone is planning to buy a parking space that I'm using

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 08:40 AM PST

    Canada, Ontario: I currently rent out a parking spot from the builder of the condo I live in. They informed me that someone is planning to buy the parking spot and want to use it themselves. Are they free to just "kick me out" whenever they want after they buy the parking spot? Do I have any legal protections?

    With or without prejudice? Husband installed spy-software on my computer, went to prostitutes, got an STD and passed it to me, hid all our assets, emptied our accounts, cancelled my insurance. I need help.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 09:15 AM PST

    I met my husband about five years ago. We started dating and got married after three years (in a country far away). I gave up my path in life to support his (he had a career going, and I was only studying).

    His job required us to move around, and for us to be together, I had to take a position where I had no experience. Thus low paying, but it enabled us to be together, and him to focus on his career.

    Since the day we met, we have been very clear that we have an open relationship. Meaning that we are allowed to have other relationships apart from the one we are in together.

    Fast forward to the beginning of this year. My husband and I talked, and he had suddenly decided that he no longer want our relationship to be open. I told him that I did not want to change this. He then presented me with a "relationship contract" where he had defined exactly how any ex-marital relationships should be. How long they could last, precisely what they could include and how they should be terminated.

    I told him that I did not want to change our initial agreement and that the whole purpose of being free was not to have to define everything. He took a few days to think of it and told me that he agrees with me and that his "relationship contract" was a mistake and that we should stick to our initial agreement.

    This is where I thought we were on the same page. He became sweeter and more romantic than ever, flowers, poems, love notes, honeymoons etc. Although in reality, he was simply using all of that as tactics to put his real plan in order: "To destroy me" (yes, in his own words) and he started planning his exit from our marriage.

    • He installed a spy-software on my computer and recorded everything I did and typed.
    • He emptied our joint account.
    • He emptied our safe deposit box
    • We had bought some gems as an investment, he told me he had a buyer for these and took them, but just gave them to his sister.
    • He hired prostitutes, got an STD and passed it to me
    • He emptied all his US accounts and moved all assets abroad.

    About six months ago I got served, he had filed for divorce, without even talking to me about it. He filed for divorce in a state where neither of us is a resident. He had however lied on the documents stating his P.O. box as his residential address. He also has this same P.O. box address as his residential address on his driver's license from that State.

    I hired a lawyer who helped me respond to his petition and asked my husband for financial disclosure. Suddenly my husband got scared and filed a voluntary dismissal of the original petition on the grounds of "lack of jurisdiction", he did not want to disclose his financial activities. I believe that he has set up a bunch of companies to avoid paying taxes in the US (he is a green card holder).

    I had to pay my lawyer, who's retainer is non-refundable, for nothing. I only hired him to respond to my husband's original petition for the dissolution of the marriage.

    Now I have no money, will not even get divorced form this person, and I created an unnecessary debt to myself by hiring a lawyer who had their hands tied up because the case got dismissed. So, of course, I decided to take it to court to get my attorney fees back from my spouse.

    I was ready to go to court. But my spouse offered to pay half of the money I paid my lawyer in exchange for me to "voluntarily dismiss my counter-petition (as the respondent) WITH prejudice". I declined the offer, knowing very well my chances to get the money back from a trial are very slim.

    I still find it odd. Why would he voluntarily dismiss his petition for divorce WITHOUT prejudice while asking me to voluntary dismiss my counter-petition WITH prejudice?

    Against my lawyer's strong advice to accept this in exchange for 50% of the fees I paid my attorney, I declined the offer. A couple of hours later, I received notice that my spouse would pay the full amount, so long as I agree NOT to file for divorce in New York (He has a lease on an apartment, and I have been living in it for a year, he has not been home since June 2019).

    Once I knew we were getting a divorce, I started looking for attorneys here in NYC, and in the country where we got married. But then I was surprised when I got a petition from a different State.

    I am perplexed now. Does anyone have any idea why my spouse is so eager to have me to file for divorce in NY? Besides the fact that I have no jurisdiction to get divorced in any other State, and the country where we did get married will not permit divorce until we fulfil the required separation year apart.

    I currently live off savings, and I'm running out of money. My husband has a five-figure monthly salary.

    Reddit, can you help me? I need to understand why he is so scared that I will file for divorce in NY. Does anyone here know a good lawyer, or can you direct me to one? I don't even know how to afford a lawyer at this point, all my money went to the first lawyer I hired, and the retainer was non-refundable. I'm not a citizen, and I cannot take a bank loan here. All suggestions are welcome. Maybe there is someone here who is a lawyer and has some helpful information.

    If someone is suing me for something in my distant past, what information do they have to provide me when I speak with them over the phone? ("2430 inc." is suing me, serving me, and knows me info for something less than $300 from a decade ago? Is this actually a scam?)

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 08:25 AM PST

    *I am in gilbert, arizona, and the call is coming from delaware NY.

    I cannot find anything online about this company other than BBB ratings of "F." The address associated with this aggressive, rude, mean lady who calls and answers the phone is linked to a book club. The phone number is associated with "2430 inc/services." They said they are suing me for $1300 for a magazine subscription from 2008, when I lived in a different state. I am 1099, and she said she is going to garnish my wages. She doesn't have my current address, or she will not confirm/say it, only my different state, previous address. How much legitimacy is in this? To make this applicable to others, what information do people calling me about money (debt collectors/law offices) have to provide, and what are the rules they have to play by.

    Amazon delivered me an empty Nintendo Switch game case and won't refund me.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 09:59 AM PST

    Hi everyone. I need some advice in regards to an Amazon order. Last week, a package that contained 3 items was delivered to me. I signed for it, took it inside and opened the box. 2 of the times were fine and as described. However, one of the items was a Nintendo Switch game. The game case was not sealed and the actual game cartridge had been removed before shipped to me. So I basically spent $80 on a piece of useless plastic. I'm assuming someone brought the game, returned it empty and Amazon re-sold it.

    I immediately contacted Amazon customer service and they flatly refused to help me in any way whatsoever. I tried contacting the distributor and they are yet to respond. It's been over 1 week now and still no response.

    What am I supposed to do? (Hong Kong) - Expat from Australia living in HK.

    My girlfriend's mother basically stole her and her brothers whole inheritance money that was left to them by their father.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 02:02 AM PST

    Location: Europe, could specify if it is very important

    My girlfriend's father passed away like a decade ago. She and her brother were both inherited quite a lofty amount in euros. When she was in high school, she was always told that she would get the inheritance money once she turns 18, then she was told once she turns 21 then she is told that once she graduates from University.

    Turns out, the inheritance money was in the bank for a long time. They were only allowed to remove certain amount with the presence of my girlfriend and could only spend it on stuff that were school related for instance (had to prove it) However due to changes in constitution, children's presence/sign was not mandatory anymore and her mother / new stepfather removed both her and her brother's inheritance money from the bank and they keep it for themselves.

    They basically spend it on new cars, they bough a flat in the downtown where nor my girlfriend neither her brother is allowed to move in. They literally don't share a single penny with them claiming that they don't deserve that money they inherited. My girlfriend is a university student with excellent grades as well as outstanding work ethic and mind. In addition, she works as a part time babysitter - so the claims are insane to say the least. She is 22 now by the way and we are talking about life changing amount of money. She could live stress free through University as well as make her dreams come through and we could move to the Netherlands to MA where we both want to go.

    Her mother claims that there is an unspecified amount of money left but she told my girlfriend that she should not count on ever getting that money. Her mother and her new partner do not really work, they basically live of that money.

    My main question is:

    • Would it even worth a shot to take legal actions? Is there even a possibility?
    • Does it worth the hassle? Would it actually cost shit tons of money to even take legal actions?
    • Any personal advice is welcome, whether it is legal or not.

    Thank you.

    Comcast, dirty, rotten, liars....

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 06:46 AM PST

    I'm in Arkansas and Comcast is trying to pull a fast one. On September 27th, I called to cancel my service. The lady told me to disable automatic billing and wait for the final, adjusted bill to show up. my next bill was due on October 9th, and should only have 7 days on it because of when I canceled. I also disconnected my cable modem at this time. I had no equipment from Comcast. I was using my own.

    So, a few days later I get the next month's bill, and I'm like, OK, they haven't adjusted it yet, I'll wait until they do. So life goes on, and when I receive another bill, for another month, I realize, wait, something's wrong. So I call back. The lady told me I had called on NOV 12 to cancel on DEC 12. I'm like, NO, it should have canceled right away, and I'm pretty sure I called before that. She promises to update the cancellation.

    I looked through my phone records. There was no call on NOV 12, the last call was on SEP 27. I also notice I had turned my auto-pay off for the bill due on OCT 9, so I new the NOV 12 was a lie. So I call back.

    After the lady who barely spoke English transferred me, the next lady told me there was a note on SEP 27 that I canceled, but it was never processed. In fact, the lady I had talked to a couple days before had not actually canceled me. IT TOOK THREE CALLS TO GET CANCELED! She assured me she had to send the information to others who could adjust my bill, but because of the note on my account, and the fact I had disconnected my modem it should not be a problem and that my final bill should be $10. She did say the amount.

    That night, I finally get an email confirmation that I had canceled, and the next day, I get an email that one month was credited on my bill, even though it should have been 2 months and 23 days, plus late fees.

    So here's my question to you all. What's my options? I want to just pay the $10 I really owe them, and then just ignore them. My credit score is almost 800, so I am not worried about a ding there. If I go this route, does anybody know what is likely to happen?

    I could call them again and complain, but honestly, they lie straight to your face...um... voice, and they probably really don't care..

    FYI, this is not the first thing something like this happened. A few years ago a technician visited after a storm to fix the downed wire. Then a $10/month fee started getting added to my bill for renting their equipment, though I was still using mine. 6mos later, when I noticed it, they would only refund $20, because I took to long. I abandoned them for a year, but was suckered back. Never again. They seem to have some pretty dirty practices to get extra money out of people.

    Police came yesterday and told landlady she can’t go in my room and take my things. Today I turned my webcam on while in the shower and she went in my room and looked around

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 05:23 PM PST

    Yesterday my landlady was upset about her electric bill. Instead of just asking me to pay the difference she came in my room in a fit of rage and took a couple electronic devices. I recorded all of this, called the police and showed them the video. They basically said I'm 100% in the right (it's California) and she can't go in my room, take my things etc.

    Today I had a sneaking suspicion she would go in my room while I was in the shower so I turned the webcam on and hit record, and I was right. Called police again, they said keep the video and have the time logs of my calls so I'm good there.

    But I'm wondering what legal repercussions is she likely to face? Do I sue for harassment? She is also sending subtly threatening texts. Is there any chance she would pay me a sum of money as a fine or would she just get some kind of mark on her record?

    Edit: Police asked me to call back tomorrow since it's thanksgiving.

    Airline Bankruptcy Issues

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 05:56 AM PST

    Ontario, CA

    Hello,

    Early this year, my partner and I booked tickets to Europe through a Travel Agency with an airline called Jet Airways. Jet Airways proceeded to go bankrupt months before our flight - but still charged us. I wanted to go dispute payment immediately, but was told by the Travel Agent not to due to documents received.

    Eventually, I was told to proceed with a dispute. I sent in emails the month we were due to leave, but some error resulted in my itinerary not attaching to the email. My bank never contacted me about this. I called them back a month later after I returned, and they stated they could no longer help me and I had to recover the money from elsewhere.

    The flight never occurred. Services were not rendered. It's getting very frustrating being told that I need to pay for something that didn't occur. Is there any action I can take here?

    Signed to rent a flat for a year on the basis of having 1 on road parking permit, due to move in on the 2nd December and have just been told by the council that the property isn’t eligible

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 05:12 AM PST

    Title says it all. Me and my partner signed to rent a two bed flat for a year, in conversations at the viewing and in the process of signing we discussed needing the permit (so we can both park, one spot comes with the flat) and they assured us each time that would be fine we could apply for street parking.

    We have email chains discussing parking and requesting the info needed to apply for a permit (including a response from the council with the council tax ref needed for the permit) and at no point until I applied was it discovered that the building was not eligible.

    We're due to move in next week and I have no idea what to do as we are town centre with no unrestricted parking anywhere. In my opinion the estate agents are responsible for miss-selling us the property but I don't know if we have any legal recourse. Advice would be very much appreciated! Thank you in advance

    Force Tree removal issues by city

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 07:49 AM PST

    So I live in Minneapolis and received a notice to remove a nuisance tree for EAB infection. I know I'll need to get this taken care of but there are some issues with the enforcement I wanted advice on.

    Here is the relevant ordinance cited in the notice: https://library.municode.com/mn/minneapolis/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PAREBOCOOR_CH10TRVE_ARTIICOINSPTRPE

    1. The city inspector went straight into my fenced backyard without even attempting make contact at the front door first, the yard is posted no trespassing. Beyond politeness is there any legal issue here?
    2. The ordinance seems to require scientific testing. "Appropriate specimens or samples shall be taken" and " Within five (5) days of receipt of the diagnosis, the owner of the property from which the specimen was obtained shall be notified of the result by personal delivery or first class mail." Emphasis added. The notice makes no mention of any testing being done, I have never been sent any results, and I have a backyard ring camera and I've never seen anyone take a sample.

    If the steps in ordinance PB10-23 are not followed, can ordinance PB10-25 be enforced?

    Assuming there are legal issues above what would the next steps be?

    Collection agency wants money

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 08:01 AM PST

    A few weeks ago I ordered some stuff from a Chinese website. The package was seized by customs and it turns out that 2 items were fake products. The customs destroyed them and I thought everything was fine. A few days later I recieve a letter from a collection agency saying that I did something wrong and they want 250 euros to arrange it and the name and adress of the seller or they would sue me. Is there any way this could be solved or am I better off just paying? I'm located in Belgium.

    New Quebec landlord cut water and heating yesterday, today the electricity. We are set to move on the 1st, after being "reno-victed"

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 09:00 AM PST

    Like this is illegal right?

    September my apartment block got bought by a new owner. New owner pressures me into signing contract kicking us out on the first, literally asked me to sign for my boyfriend (I did) so they can start tearing down the walls and ceiling and floors to make new condos in our low income neighbourhood.

    We got no compensation because apparently i said something about possibly moving in 2020.

    They didn't warn us about the power/water/hydro cuts, found out we couldn't flush, then found the water basins on the front yard.

    Is this legal? Do i have grounds to fight?

    Question about pet ownership.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 08:36 AM PST

    I'm not even sure this should be here, but I needed advice.

    We are in Texas. So there's a pit bull that wandered up to my sister's house almost nine months ago. He had been hit by a vehicle so they took him to the vet and cared for him, payed all the vet bills, everything. He became a part of the family. A month ago he went missing for two weeks, and then showed back up with a collar on. No information, just "do not feed me, send me home". Turns out, there's a guy that breeds pit bulls a couple of miles down the road, and he came to my sister's house to reclaim his dog.

    Now, they love this dog, and this guy basically said they can have "shared custody", and he'll just come get his dog when he wants to breed him, but they can keep feeding him and caring for him in the meantime. He doesn't put his information on collars because he's had issues with all of his dogs free roaming and chasing peoples cattle. This is the SWEETEST dog, and the only issues they've had with him is he gets into scuffles with their other male dog because he isn't fixed (all of hers are). Typically the pit bull will be gone for a couple of days and finds his way back. We're in a very small town, and I'm wondering if there's anything they can do. My sister isn't comfortable with this guy just coming onto our property to pick up his dog whenever he wants to. This guy obviously isn't a good owner, and he's never even given them proof of ownership.

    Neighbor takes unwanted photos. Is this grounds for a HRO?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 08:54 AM PST

    I recently moved into a new neighborhood (Hennepin county, Minnesota) about 7 months ago. In this time my neighbor has repeatedly taken pictures of me (my partner and my family) while in my garage, leaving my home (in my car), and on a walk. Yesterday, the neighbor took pictures of my family while they were entering my home. I have seen the neighbor take pictures on about a dozen occasions. I spoke to her husband after the first 2 incidents, he noted that he would ask her to stop. After the 4th time, I contacted the police to record the time/date/incident information. They noted that what she is doing isn't technically illegal, but started a case to document the information. The police also noted that this individual has had several police interactions due to unwanted picture taking with other neighbors. After about 8 times, I was able to talk to the neighbor taking pictures. I requested that she stop and received no confirmation that that would happen. This behavior has been ongoing throughout the 7 months I've lived here. My family is hesitant to visit due to her picture taking. My partner doesn't want to live here anymore. Is this behavior grounds for a Harassment Restraining Order?

    Can my employer steal overtime from one week to cover a call-out in another?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 07:33 AM PST

    FLORIDA

    I'm a nurse. I bust my ass working overtime to pay for my little family.

    This week my paycheck was short of what I expected.

    I have a Full Time Equivilent expectation of three 12 hour shifts per week. 36 hours per week, or 72 per pay period.

    In week 1 I worked overtime. I was physically at work for 50.05 hours.

    In week 2 I worked no overtime and one shift I called out sick. I was physically at work for 24 hours.

    However, instead of giving me 12 hours sick time, my employer only gave me 4.6 hours. (I have plenty of sick time in the sick bank). In the payroll note they say "Adjusted by payroll per policy or law FTE".

    How can my employer legally underpay me in week 2 just because I went into overtime in week 1. Can they legally count the four hours between 36-40 against my week 2?

    A chemical plant exploded by my house and my job and they took money out of my paycheck and want me to come to work during a mandatory evacuation.

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 03:42 PM PST

    So I'll start off by saying I work on a per job basis. Everyday that we are on call, we get a daily bonus. If you miss one job, you lose that daily bonus HOWEVER if you miss 2 jobs in the ENTIRE pay period, you lose all the daily bonuses you have accrued and can't get any more bonuses for the rest of the pay period.

    A chemical plant exploded by my house and my job. A judge signed a 10 day evacuation notice and made us leave the city and evacuate.

    I told my job and they argued with me that there was no evacuation. They said I missed 2 jobs and that I lost all of my bonuses.

    Is there any legal action I can take?

    Mother on drugs wanting to give up custody to son of other children

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 11:28 AM PST

    So this is a long story but I'll try to shorten it and be as accurate as possible. I'm 22 y/o M I work at a decent job making good money while also going to school atm living In Illinois. I live one state away from where my mother and rest of my family live where this is all taking place (Missouri). My mother and dad have both been in and out of prison on and off drugs in fact my dad gets out tomorrow. My mother has been hiding the fact she's relapsed again (meth) for months now and has decided she no longer wants the responsibility of my brothers and wants to take her daughter (from a separate marriage and different father.) and run off to another state with her tweak boyfriend. My brothers are 12 and 13 years old. My mother has always been an addict since I could remember it's the reason I left initially. I love my brothers and would love to take them but I want nothing to do with her, I just want to know how to go about getting them as she's willing to give them up to me. Some friends I've talked to have stated she can sign over guardianship and get it notarized but to my understanding that would keep her legal custody. I'd truly appreciate any advice and to know any options. If I left out any important details please ask and I'll openly and gladly respond. Also important to mention I myself and all my siblings have been in and out of foster care in the past due to her negligence. Thanks in advance everyone.

    Do I have a lawsuit in the near future?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 12:10 PM PST

    Occurred in California

    This past week, I had gone out with a few friends to a bar to celebrate a birthday. After a few drinks we decided to head out. Left when my girlfriend said she forgot her phone inside the bar. So I went back in to grab it when I tripped and fell to the floor. My drunk ass tried to grab onto anything to keep myself from falling and I ended up pulling a chick down with me. I got up in a panic and ran out of the bar. Met up with my girl outside and I told her that we needed to uber out cuz I was in no shape to drive.

    Out of nowhere three bouncers from the bar tackled me. One was choking me out while telling me he was going to fuck me up. One held my arms down while the other proceeded to punch me in the face resulting in a black eye, a tooth pushed through my lip, and thrown into the middle of the street and was told I was unconscious. Dont remember much other than that and then waking up in a jail cell. Was never sent to a hospital to check on my injuries.

    I was held in a 4 man cell for about 12 hours until the next day and was told by the officer that I am being charged for assault and battery on a woman and that I have court in two months. My question is if I have any grounds on sueing the bar for having their bouncers swell up my face and cause nerve damage to my leg. If i have any grounds on sueing the police department for not admitting me to a hospital even though I was unresponsive for five minutes. Other question is whether I'll be convicted of the assault and battery.

    Thank you for your time.

    UK Law involving breeder that sold me a genetically damaged dog

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 01:02 PM PST

    We recently had to put our 2 year old dog down as he became very aggressive. When talking to the breed rescue (when we were initially attempting to re-home) we found out that the breeder who sold us our dog had 'accidentally' mated her two dogs which were related (Mother/Son). This is not best practice at all and can cause all kinds of health problems, including aggression.

    When buying I asked to see proof of lineage which she fudged. I admit I did not check as closely as I should. Today I found out that the mother also had a breeding restriction on her as she had health problems.

    Am I to blame for not asking the right questions? Our dog was advertised as healthy. He cost £900 and I'm tempted to ask for our money back. The breeder has caused our family HUGE distress.

    Airline lost my carseat and made me fly with my daughter on lap despite purchasing her a seat.

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 02:33 PM PST

    just want to preface I'm not a 'karen' and I didn't want other people to miss their flights but it's not fair the pressure was on me because the airline overbooked

    I purchased 2 seats with this airline, one for me and one for my daughter who would be in her car seat. I checked in online 20hrs before my flight and had assigned seat numbers for both of us.

    Trying to lug a toddler, car seat, diaper bag and my small bag through security to the gate was a nightmare. I felt relief as my daughter was tired out and was certain she'd fall asleep in her car seat.

    My name was called while we waited for boarding time. The lady at the gate told me the flight was overbooked and I would have to give up my daughters seat and have her on my lap. They told me they would put my car seat in the carriage with the bigger luggage, so it would be there when I landed. I tried to argue but was told it was either that or we wouldn't be flying. They assured me I'd be compensated and just needed to call the airline afterwards.

    I had a very awful flight where the passengers next to me complained every 30 min that my daughter was too loud (the cabin lady was nice about it) and she did not rest the whole time.

    When I landed, I found her car seat was no where to be found (apparently didn't even check in as luggage) and after waiting on hold for nearly 2 hrs, the airline at most could compensate 10% of her ticket cost because "she was on the flight, at least".

    I have no idea what the laws are on this kind of thing. I have had to purchase a new car seat (300$) and also the whole experience of being insulted and glared at by passengers for a situation I didn't cause made this whole experience really traumatic and I am dreading flying back.

    What are my rights? Is what they did even legal?
