| Posted: 07 Jan 2020 03:58 AM PST The police say the don't know of a relevant statute, I had asked them to think of it as a peanut allergy and someone deliberately putting that on their food/bedding but they will not proceed. Edit 2: The mods locked this while I was at work but thank you all for the advice. I will see if any of the suggestions get me any further. Edit: I suffered a severe and prolonged asthma attack from this encounter and it did drive me from the residence. I also have evidence of the encounter and the aggressor's intended result of the encounter (to drive me out) [link] [comments]  |
| I got a ticket for public intoxicating because I’m suffering concussion symptoms Posted: 07 Jan 2020 08:35 AM PST I went to go get food at subway, it's about 1KM away from my house. I can't properly talk all that fast & I can't react that fast as well ever since I hit my head. The police showed up in subway & made a claim that they were called from the restaurant across the street saying someone was drunk & driving. I don't even own a car. I have keys to my house which they claimed were keys to a car that I drove there. They asked the subway employees if I drove there, to which they said they don't know. They were making subs. So they couldn't prove I drove there. They then put me in cuffs & take me home. I'm in the back seat cuffed when I asked some questions & was told to "shut up". I got driven home & ticket $65 for public intoxication. What should I do now? I'd also like to add, I go to physiotherapy to help with my concussion symptoms, I was just at an EEG appointment earlier that day & I'm on workers compensation (WSIB) for hitting my head at work. I live in Canada, Ontario. [link] [comments]  |
| [Update] Indy police put minor on a bus to a random city, alone. Posted: 07 Jan 2020 11:24 AM PST Original TL;DR: Basically the title Cousin is back home and I've been chatting with him about his ordeal and got a more complete picture of what went down. I don't see any legal issues here, mainly piss poor customer service but I wanted to post an update here so as not to leave anyone hanging. It turns out this event occurred on his *return* trip. He was able to visit his family after all. Also, Ft. Wayne wasn't his destination, his trip was to Florida. (He has family both places and got hung up in Indiana so I was confused) So to recap: Greyhound sold him round-trip tickets from KC to Florida, knowing he was traveling alone as a minor. Greyhound then allowed him to travel from KC to Florida (5 stops) then Florida to Indianapolis (4 stops) with no problems. It was in Indianapolis that a Greyhound employee called the Police, assuming he was a runaway, even though she saw his itinerary. (Side note: what kind of runaway buys round trip tickets?) When the police arrived, they hassled him about traveling alone and accused him of lying about his travels, despite him showing the officers his itinerary. (There were 8(!) officers interviewing him and he was understandably freaked out by this... in his world police=in trouble) The officers couldn't reach his father by phone but were able to reach his family in Florida who verified his travel plans. The employees at Greyhound wouldn't allow him to travel unless there was someone at the destination to retrieve him. Of course his father would be in KC to pick him up, as planned, but since the officers couldn't reach him, Greyhound wouldn't let him travel there. So he called the only person he knew in St. Louis, an ex-girlfriend of his father's that he's on good terms with. The officers were able to reach her so that's why they put him on that bus. Never mind that ex-girlfriend had no idea he was even traveling... for all she knew, he WAS running away, but all Greyhound wanted was a warm body to transfer liability to. So given the circumstances, I think the PD get a pass here. The preferred course of action would have been to tell Greyhound "he's not a runaway, let him go where he wants." I don't think they should be the executors of Greyhound's policies, but whatever. It wasn't them who put him in danger. Cousin's dad has been on the phone with Greyhound customer service today but I don't have any idea what's going to happen there, if anything. I think they have their bases covered in terms of policy and won't be motivated to do much of anything. So anyway, thanks to all who replied and a special shout-out to the mods who locked the thread before I could respond to anyone. [EDIT] I forgot to mention: the phone number that the lady at Greyhound (apparently not the one that called him in) gave Cousin was just their customer service number and the "ID" was his confirmation number.

| Posted: 06 Jan 2020 05:46 PM PST I went to pick up an uncontrolled substance (antibiotics) the night before. I also filled a prescription for the aformentioned controlled substance at the same time. I picked up the antibiotics, and the pharmacy tech told me to come pick up the other prescription (controlled substance) tomorrow because they were busy that night. Ok, no problem. The next evening, I go to pick up the prescription and I'm told that it was already picked up earlier that day. The tech that was there (different tech) tells me that his manager remembers the order from earlier day and that an older lady came and picked it up already. He asks me if I know anyone who would come and pick it up for me - I don't. He says it must be someone that knew all my information. This is where it gets weird: I ask to see the security footage, the tech says "the picture isn't good enough." What? What do you have security cameras for? So he goes to review the transaction. I sit around for about an hour and after several back and forths he comes and tells me I can pick up the prescription and that from now on they put a flag on my account that it requires ID verification. I ask if he can give me the name of the person on the card who came to pick up my prescription, he says he can only give me the last four digits of the credit card. It just struck me as really, really suspicious. The guy didn't even try to see who apparently came and picked up the prescription for me (allegedly). And I hope they didn't charge my insurance again for my correct pickup in addition to the fraudulent one, because that means the next time I go to pick it up, I won't be able to get it. I switched all my meds over to another pharmacy as soon as I left. Something very fishy is going on - so I figure it's one of two things:
Should I file a police report, and if I do, will the police even do anything about it and try to hunt down who walked away with my stuff, whether it was a random person who just "happened to have all my information" or if a tech pocketed it and marked it as picked up? What can I do, legally? What options do I have? [link] [comments]  |
| Not allowed to know how much I earn? Posted: 07 Jan 2020 04:48 AM PST So a little backstory. I work for a dealership in Texas. I work solely off of commission and have a pay plan that shows how my pay is calculated. After a couple of really short months I had a really good December. I knew how much I made because our pay plan is laid out simply. The owner of the company is known for cussing out his employees and calling them names (fucking idiot etc) and several employees have quit due to these conditions. When I received my pay voucher to sign off on before I got my check it was over a 1000 dollar short. My manager and I worked to fix it, however the owners did not see it as a priority and I'm now supposed to get my check today when it was supposed to be the 5th but that was a Sunday so originally we thought we would get it on Saturday (I'm paid once a month). Me and the other sales person went to get our check as we were the only two between the two dealerships not paid and sat down with the owner responsible. When he made a call regarding our paychecks after hours he made mention of the pay vouchers having been sent over to which I interrupted and said they were but they were wrong. By the end he told me I'm not allowed to "fucking calculate my pay" and then the man made me tell him I understand. I'm supposed to just accept my pay of whatever they feel like giving me? And to cuss me like I'm a child because I found a gross error in my paycheck? Did some research but just wondering what you all thought! Thanks so much for reading! TLDR: Owner cusses at me for finding over a 1000 dollar mistake in my paycheck, and forces me to tell him I understand that I won't calculate my own pay anymore. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2020 09:34 PM PST New Mexico, United States. My ex-wife is re-marrying in September. She'll be going on a honeymoon for a week and wants our kids to stay with her future in-laws for the week. We have a 50/50 custody agreement, and have had so for the last 4 years. It is very specific about who, what, where, why, and when in regards to just about everything to do with the kids. She's under the impression that during that week I will be "distraught, angry, sad, and depressed" and it will affect the kids. None of which is true. I could care less. At no point in the time we've been apart have my kids been exposed to anything like that while in my care. I have never met these future in-laws, I have no reason to believe that they are anything but decent people. That's not the point. My kids belong with me. Even in the custody agreement it states that she and I are the only people allowed to care for the children without the other parents consent. I do not consent to my kids being in their custody. She threatened to take me to court, to which I happily agreed. She also stated that "once she's married, the inlaws will legally be their grandparents and that there's nothing I can do about it". I will be contacting my attorney tomorrow, but my question for my own peace of mind, is this: Once she is married, do these new in-laws legally become grandparents to my children? Do they suddenly have any rights? If our custody agreement is already fair and balanced and has been working for years, does she have any grounds to change it just because she wants these people more involved? [link] [comments]  |
| My deceased Dad's parents want his guns and are now threatening legal action Posted: 06 Jan 2020 09:41 PM PST I am a 20F in Wisconsin and my brother turns 17 in a couple days. When my Dad passed away, my brother and mother helped me clean out his apartment, so we have all of his stuff, including the guns (Only hunting guns and one handgun). My parents divorced years ago, so my brother and I inherited everything. We decided that the big/expensive items, like the guns, would be kept safe until my brother was old enough to help me decide what to do with them. Already the day before my Dad's funeral, my Dad's parents were claiming that they lent my Dad the hunting guns and texted my mother saying they wanted them NOW. The only thing is, they don't actually know what guns my Dad had as they gave my mother incorrect information (# of guns, types). Also, my Dad used to live with my grandparents, but he took the guns with him when he moved out and made upgrades to them. When I asked them why they wanted the guns so badly, they said that they wanted to register the guns under my brother. When asked for proof of registration, my grandparents then claimed that the only way to get that was through a lawyer, which would then cost us money. Both my mother and step-father (who was once an officer) told me that they think it is best that I don't give my grandparents the guns. I don't want to hand the guns over because, according to my research on Wisconsin Law, my grandparents lied about gun registration. To my understanding, their proof of registration doesn't exist because you don't register guns in Wisconsin. My grandparents now keep on sending my mom texts and voicemails asking for the guns and threatening legal action. Every time my brother and I visit them, they pester us about it. My grandparents even called the cops at one point. The officer left a message with my mom to call him back, but she has tried several times and has left numerous voicemails. It's been weeks now and the officer still hasn't gotten back to us. So, here are my questions:

| Found a camera in the bathroom Posted: 07 Jan 2020 03:00 AM PST So update: I'm going to delete this incase the tiniest tiniest chance they or anyone they know see it. I've taken pictures and I've sent them to someone to check if it is a camera 100%. If it is, I am going to contact the police and never step near them again. Thank you so much for the concern and comments. Stay safe. [link] [comments]  |
| [Update] Can a surgeon change the surgery being performed without notifying anyone until afterwards? Posted: 07 Jan 2020 11:01 AM PST [US, Texas] The general consensus, and the advice I took, was that yes, this is legal, nothing to be done here. I let it go, accepting our fate, until now. Today, my partner went in for a steroid shot, and to review the results of his MRI. As it turns out, the MRI shows that the surgeon did not disclose everything he did in surgery. To keep it vague, the MRI shows that a larger area was worked on, and what is documented does not match the results of the surgery. His doctor advised him to "have someone go to the surgeon to figure out what he actually did", I guess subtly instructing to hire an attorney? This doctor has performed the surgery listed in the notes, so he is sure that what was written and what was done are two different things. I'm not sure if this is a "trust your gut when you think something is wrong" moment or pure coincidence, but I am fairly certain the next steps are to seek a free consultation with an attorney through his work, and figure out what this means for his treatment. Thanks for everyone who commented; y'all helped keep me grounded until we knew for sure something was wrong. If anyone has any advice on how to proceed, I sure would appreciate it.

| Posted: 07 Jan 2020 01:11 AM PST I work in construction and gave my supervisor vacation leave paperwork and when I contacted management about withheld pay they informed me they thought I had quit because I didn't call or show for a whole week and my supervisor told them I never handed in any request. After showing management i provided my request I was reinstated and paid and told to report back after vacation. I smoked weed while on vacation in a legal state. My employer knew which state I was traveling too. After three weeks away I contacted management that I was back from vacation and ready to report and they informed me I need to take a drug test. Should I take the test and fail or just not report to the drug testing? I need to know what would be best for unemployment benefits or if I am out of luck regardless. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2020 10:39 AM PST I pulled up to the stop sign to leave the grocery store parking lot (Texas) and was rear ended by a woman who did not stop. I pulled over and she pulled straight forward, seeming intent to enter the interstate highway access road. (Took my first picture. My car is convertible w top down, so you can see our cars relative to pavement, curbs, stripes, etc.) I got out to talk to her, but she would not roll down her window, and was on the phone. (Later it was evident she was talking to husband.) By that time I was on phone to insurance. I did get her to pull over so we could exchange info. Her first excuse was "why did you stop? You started to go then you stopped!" I said I came to a stop and had not moved, but even if her assertion was true, she was still at fault! She did concede she was at fault, but I did not think to record it. She said she was in a hurry to get to the hospital, and insurance said exchange info and roll on. My bumper and lights were just over $1,000 to fix. Her car did show any damage. She lied to her insurance and said I backed into her. Insurance said since our statements conflicted, they could not determine fault, and we each were responsible for our own cars. (Hers had no visible damage, being 20 years newer and much heavier than my little Miata.) I provided a picture with other car license plates, but no one was contacted. We filed in small claims court for the $ 1000 we paid to repair/replace bumper & lights. Her insurance has provided her a lawyer and they responded to demand jury trial. Any advice, besides lawyering up? I'm bringing a copy of my pristine driving record. (I'm 60, and have a spotless record.) Also pictures of damage, map for explanation, picture that shows after I pulled over she pulled forward, cell phone record showing that I called insurance immediately. Advice? Thank you so much! (BTW, this is more about right and wrong, than it is about money. We are moth women about 60. My car is a 20 year old Miata, hers a new Lexus. From info on her DL, I know her house is 2 to 3 times the value of my house. I'm tired of people thinking they can lie their way out of consequences, especially when doing the right thing really wouldn't even be painful.) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2020 10:43 AM PST This is the most shitty question I've ever asked, thus the burner account for my anonymous miserable investigations. I know there will be a lot of judgement, but please know there's nothing you can say that I haven't already beaten myself down with. I'm at the end of my ability to cope... I've tried to get help and there is none. There are MANY details in this, and just like most situations, there's SO much to the story. But since this is a legal thread, I will post the details elsewhere. I have 3 "sets" of kids (yeah, sounds awful, I know. Twice I was abused, now I have a wonderful husband and father to my kids but HE is having to deal with too much and it's not fair to him) The first "set" is one son who is 14 yrs old. He has continually chosen to do what he wants, refuses discipline, refuses to keep himself out of trouble. Over a year ago he exposed himself in school and was sent to jail and sexual behavior therapy program. He came back no different. He still breaks rules, has defiant attitude, does what he wants. My biggest fear is I have 2 girls in the second "set" (a different dad), and then 2 babies from my current husband. This is all highly complicated with abuse and even molestation from the second father, so please don't be too harsh... This son is driving my family apart. He is completely reckless and it's only a matter of time before he does something horrible again. Legal Question 1: in the state of Texas, can a parent voluntarily give up their parental rights? His dad refuses to take him but doesn't want to give up his rights... I'm facing the excruciating issue of considering this as my only option... my current husband cannot cope with it anymore and is going to leave me if I don't find a solution. This son is a danger to my girls and must be monitored 24/7. I'm exhausted from all of it and we have ZERO support system. No family, no friends willing or able to help. I don't know what else to do. Legal Question 2: someone said if I give up one child, then the authorities will take away ALL my children because I'm saying I am an unfit parent. Is this true? What about in this situation? Are there any other alternatives I can possibly consider? I'm hating myself for this train wreck I've made of my life... I don't know how I'll keep going much longer anyway. But I am desperate to try to save at least PART of my life before I end it all. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2020 01:29 PM PST I just started a grad program at my brother's alma mater. He is flying in this weekend to see friends and was planning to stay with me, so he shipped his entertainment package to MY NAME at MY PO BOX on campus through USPS. He will not be staying now. The university requires a signature to pick up a package. Is it enough to refuse to sign? Possession and intent to possess are violations for the University Code of Conduct. I don't want to get him in trouble. He's never put me in a position like this before. but he's the jackass that mailed it to me. He is not on the return address, so nothing connects him to the package. He told me that if I'm freaking out, I just refuse to sign for it. Is refusing to sign enough? Advice would be greatly appreciated. State: GA [link] [comments]  |
| Old man that walks everyday with neighbors dogs allowed dogs to enter my property kill my ducks Posted: 07 Jan 2020 04:41 AM PST [TX] A little background, I moved to the country two years ago. So I'm am very naive to what's called "country law" , I grew up very small, but I know gardening. These last 2 years I opened a organic farm in the country. In order to have an successful permaculture/organic farm, you have to "helpers" to maintain the property. those were my ducks. My ducks helped to control bugs on the farm, clear our small weeds and sprigs and gave me eggs every morning, which I sell at the the weekend markets, Rain or shine for $6 dollars a dozen, if that matters. I even showcased them on my business cards explaining these ducks help keep your produce bug free. I had 10 females which I trained from ducklings and should produce eggs for 5 years. Ok, so let's cut to it. On dec 1st, the old man that walks up the road every day, let the dogs that walk with him enter my gate, onto my property and killed 4 ducks, crippled 2, and 1 ducks would die days later. Completely destroying my flock leaving me with 3 females and 2 males and 2 cripples. I watch this guy walk every day for weeks with these dogs. Guiding them through the road and correcting them when they entered any one else's, property, including mine. He stopped walking after this incident, I waited for days to confront him. Today I saw him, while driving back from the grocery store. I turned my truck around and confronted him . The 2 suspect dogs ran up to me from his yard. I asked if these were his dogs, while they circled around my feet. He said, " they were the houses over dogs," pointing, claiming they are not his. Again, I said " your dogs that you walk everyday, killed my ducks!" , he responds " I know, but the neighbors 2 doors down own the dogs, not me " and he went off about how the dogs wouldn't let him walk any longer without following. I then said " you saw what the dogs were doing and didnt stop it" he responded "I've always tried to shuoo them away, but they wont ". The conversation got no- where As I was at my wits end, I said, "I will call animal control on the dogs so they wont kill anymore" he responded " do what ya gotta do" I honestly want to file a police report. I called animal control but they wont have room for the dogs for weeks. They said they would also need him to sign the dogs over and there are no leash laws in the country. I'm at a huge loss for my ducks. I raised them since they were ducklings and I counted on their eggs for income every week at the farmers market. The loss I gained from no longer having my flock is great. I want to file a police report but the other neighbors say country justice is just shoot the dogs. Nothing feels right. So my question is who is responsible for these dogs? The neighbors who actually own them or the old man who walks and guides them everyday? [link] [comments]  |
| Minor paid $260 counterfeit money for a Facebook Marketplace transaction (MI, USA) Posted: 07 Jan 2020 10:51 AM PST Michigan, USA. Incident happened on New Years Day. My boyfriend and I listed our limited edition PS4 on Facebook Marketplace for sale, including the original controller and some games as well. We do not have the serial number. Long story short, we were given $260 of counterfeit money. My bf knew immediately because of the texture, but had already made me hand the buyer the bag. I called the local police right away and filed a report with a deputy. The deputy checked the gas station and for some reason was not able to get any footage. Please do not comment about how we could have avoided this, because we know. Especially me, as I wanted cash in hand before we made the trade and my bf told me to chill because he watched him count out the money. The buyer, who I will call Jay, had used his real Facebook account to speak with my boyfriend via messenger. He blocked my boyfriend, but did not change his name or his profile picture. Jay also gave us an address initially before he was told by us we would only meet in a public space. The deputy called me the other day to inform me that she had identified him from the information she had (police report, Facebook messages and Facebook profile) and that he gave us his real address. He is a minor. The deputy informed me that it will be difficult to move forward due to Jay being 16. She said she would have to contact Jay's parents first, and her only hope was to scare a confession from him. She said it is not very likely to get the ok to prosecute and that she does not have much evidence without a confession. Is there anything I can do myself to try and get the money back? Is that considered threatening if I tell Jay on a fake account that I know what he did and the police will be coming to speak with him if he doesn't give the money back? I know telling him I know where he lives and goes to school would probably be inadvisable... The deputy does not seem to have much faith in this going anywhere. I accepted that we're just out $260, but now that I know exactly who this kid is I feel a strong urge to try. Thanks for the help! - Kitty [link] [comments]  |
| Former employer demanding access to my Google Account since it was logged into their phone Posted: 07 Jan 2020 10:36 AM PST (NH, US) I recently quit my job I have had for about a year and a half for a better job at a rival company. I did everything by the book. I gave them my two weeks and even said I would stay for a third if necessary, but they said two was fine. Everything seemed alright but then somehow they found out I was going to a rival company and they flipped their top. Anyways they told me half way through my two weeks to pack up my stuff and leave. Which, fine. While I was packing my stuff my boss came in and asked me to turn in my company phone. So before I left I factory reset the phone and gave it to IT as I was told to. My boss then caught me at the door and told me he needed my Google Account and password because the phone was backed up to that account and it might have "company assets" such as contacts, sales leads, etc. I explained that it was my personal Google Account with my personal information, financial accounts and photos attached to it so I wasn't going to give them my account info. He then said that because it was signed into their phone, I legally have to give them the password. I told him that he could shove it because there was no guidance when I got the phone to use a company Google account or anything like that and that I'm not giving him my personal account info. He then tried telling me that I could keep the account, but I have to give the account info to IT so that they could "scan it" for any contacts, messages, emails and photos that could have company info (I used my company email to talk to clients so any emails on that account are my personal emails). I told him that I wasn't letting them do that either because again it's my personal account with my with my personal contacts, my personal private messages and my personal photos of my girlfriend and family, so I don't want any IT guy going through them. Then later after I left I got an email from my old job telling me to "turn over" the login to that Google Account or I would face "serious legal consequences". My question is do I have any legal obligation to give them my personal Google Account information just because it was logged into their phone? In hindsight I wish I used a separate personal phone, but I just had the one, and most other people I worked with just used their company phone as a personal phone so I didn't think it would be a problem. Also, I should note that I don't have any particularly valuable information from that company beyond contacts and messages to my clients. (I've since deleted them), I already messaged all my clients that I no longer work for that company, I have no intention of using my contacts from my previous job as it would violate my new companies ethics policy, and my new position is not a sales position anyway so any information I could have would be entirely useless.

| Posted: 06 Jan 2020 05:09 PM PST I was a sperm donor in college several years ago. I signed a contract that stated the sperm bank would give up my contact information when the child turned 18 years old. Recently several women have reached out on facebook and showed me pictures of their (and I guess my?) baby. One tried to call me and messages me often (I don't respond). I have a minimal online presence so I am not sure how she found me. I am a calm person but very annoyed that this information has leaked out. I know that dozens of my vials were sold to clients, so there could be many more that reach out to me in the future, which I am not ok with. They are not my children, IMO your parents are the people who raise you. r/legaladvice, do I have a case to sue the sperm bank for releasing information that has lead to the release of my identity? EDIT: I am in the US. There are not many sperm banks in the US so I don't want to disclose which state. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2020 01:48 AM PST I am an architectural practitioner from India. During my freelance job period, I did some design works for my friends from the construction industry. Now I have decided to open a firm in partnership with another person. We are preparing a portfolio for upcoming venture compiling both of our best works. So I called up one of the previous collaborators in order to inform him that I will be giving credit to his company while we posting any related content from the project on which we worked together. He seems not to like the idea, although he didn't say it openly. He said it won't be a nice thing to do. ( They were getting some new projects after I did a few designs for their company. Although he never recommended me to anyone or they give me any credit for the design. He wanted to keep all the new clients to himself). From his response, I could understand that they are looking to take the design credit as well instead of letting me use the design I did. He postponed the discussion saying, he is busy and we will discuss it sometime later. He suggested me to do some fake works instead, for the web portfolio, which I really don't want to do. I am ready to give them the credits but he rejected that offer. (He doesn't want the current customers to know that it was me who did the design for their firm) I have decided to put them on our portfolio anyway. Since I wasn't their staff, I firmly believe that I don't have to worry about the question of ethics. Do I have to claim any particular design right in this scenario? Is it wrong to use the above-mentioned work to grow my business? [link] [comments]  |
| Can my ex force me to do a Dna test for my son. (1000% not his) Posted: 06 Jan 2020 05:39 PM PST I'm a 27 f from the United Kingdom. So I dated a guy called "dalston" for a month back in 2008, we didn't work out, honestly he was a bit odd so we parted ways amicably. In 2009 I met my sons father and became pregnant feb 2010. There's no doubt in anyone's mind my sons father is my sons father. Dalston has appeared from nowhere messaging me on Instagram insisting my son is his and wanting a Dna test. I firmly but kindly reassured him he need not worry I know who my sons father is, we planned this pregnancy, I knew I was pregnant at three weeks. He doesn't believe me and is calling me a liar?! and horrible for keeping my son from his father and that he is contacting social services and also legally going to force a Dna test. He said himself he was in the army 2008-2010june but according to his timeline we dated in June and I conceived and gave birth in October. But we had actually dated in 08 before he went into the army. Can he legally force my son to do a dna test? It would be soo unsettling for him. His real father isn't the best so I feel this could confuse him more. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2020 02:29 AM PST So here's a weird one. I won a small claims lawsuit in NYC from someone a few years ago who subsequently moved out of state. He recently emailed me out of the blue about paying off the judgement. I emailed how much it was since it has increased due to interest. He then said he first wants to see a bunch of court paperwork with docket numbers, case numbers and names, lawsuit doc and judgement doc. I don't get it. He knows he owes this money. He was there for the first court date, had it extended and then didn't show for the second, was sent the judgement when it happened. I know asking for paperwork is something people do when hounded by collection agencies, but I haven't contacted him in years. He is also a lawyer (bad one though) and thinks himself very clever, and is manipulative. So what is his game here? Is he trying to improve credit? If so, shouldn't he just pay me? I'm wondering if somehow he is trying to clear this off a credit problem without paying me and needs this paperwork? Do I legally have to send this info to him if he asks and want to get paid?

| [CA] Are landlords of single-family homes allowed to have security cameras without tenant knowledge? Posted: 07 Jan 2020 12:16 PM PST I live in California where I currently reside in a single-family home in the Bay Area. The house is currently occupied by 8 other college girls, and we are all on different leases. We have noticed from the very beginning, and were even forewarned, that the landlord is very crooked. He used to enter the house without proper warning frequently until the girls put a stop to it. Even now, he will still come on the property and look around the front and backyard, and will examine the trash. From what I have researched, he is not allowed to be on the property AT ALL without the 24-hour warning. I worried that if I told him that he would evict me, like the other girls that have brought up issues. My main question here -- security cameras. I noticed that there's a camera at the backyard entrance gate, which leads to the driveway. None of us have been informed about this camera, and I have reason to believe that he's watching it without reason as he has information about something that he has no other way of knowing about. Are landlords allowed to do this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2020 06:55 AM PST My wife and I have been living in our current apartment since Sep/Oct 2011. We have a signed agreement that is at-will and a verbal understanding of being long term tenants. He has told us the problems he had with evictions. Understanding the limitations of at-will tenancy - I believe this is a case for retaliation. Possibly more. We have always paid our rent from a separate account & is sent from the bank. We have never missed a month ever. Landlord acknowledges this and even calls us good tenants in his "notice to quit". He stated that we are unhappy with the repairs and requesting we leave. On 1/2/2020: He stopped by the say he would be cutting another hole in my kitchen wall Saturday morning(1/4/2020) - this time just to give access to the shower handles so when the plumber comes that morning he can get in there. He quickly left before anything further could be said. On 1/3/2020: I texted him and asked him in the morning asking if he could stop by that night so we can discuss exactly what was happening. That's when he said someone would be coming by to cut a hole in the wall. That's when I said no one is coming in my apartment to cut a hole in my wall because you have an entire plywood section of my wall behind the shower DUCT TAPED he removed March/2018. He told me I was being difficult. I told him he is required by law to repair and provide a sanitary and safe living environment & we have been complaining about this for years. He told me I was threatening him. I told him I am expressing my tenant rights & if I have to I will call the Board of Health and Housing Inspector. That evening he came by my apartment yelling at me saying things like "I know you hate me and I know you hate living here. I think it's time for you to go" he again refers to my text messages as threatening. He even says "If I were your employer I'd fire you!" which has absolutely nothing to do with anything. During the day he had his friend replacing the exterior locking egress without proper permit (state code). During this altercation he told me he had no key and would be back over the weekend - he lives in the same building. I said its 6 o clock on a Friday evening I need a key you need to go out and make one. We need to leave and I'm not going to be locked out. He reluctantly returned with one key I had to ask if it was a separate key for the bolt (because it has been since we moved in). He didn't respond and left. On 1/5/2020: He stopped by our apartment and handed us a notice to quit, I said again you have a legal obligation to fix those issues we have been living with for years that you yourself started, as he tried to say we never told him (are you f**king serious?!?!). That's when I saw his gun hanging out his back pocket with his shirt and jacket tucked under it. In plain sight. I told him right then I don't care about his LIC he has no right to flash his weapon and feel like it is intimidation. That's when he left. (Now, this man is an open libertarian and has even given us a letter for rent increase because the newly elected mayor had imposed the disposal fee, which we paid. He told us in letter "The trash fee is an additional burden that must be passed on. Remember who is costing you money next time you're in the voting booth electing city leaders. Thank you for your understanding and being a great tenant." We took that as a jab for being democrats. He has openly mocked us for our democratic beliefs, has a license to carry as mentioned, and always keeps it holstered under his arm. My wife is Iranian, her father came here originally when he was 18 for college and became a citizen. She is taking this as a threat especially after the events last week). Currently: •I have an inspection scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 1:00PM •I plan on sending certified letter containing the conversation of me asking for repairs and his retaliatory remarks so I can withhold rent. I wanted to cancel THIS months check but have not. I am honestly lost, and we are in no way able to afford to move right now. It is two weeks into winter season. What else should we be doing right now? I know under our states tenant laws there are remedies & I feel we are being threatened and retaliated against for asserting our rights as tenants. This entitled us to not be evicted due to requesting repairs and from rent increases. I understand tenancy is protected under consumer protection in MA. After looking at information I feel there are violation of our State Sanitary Code - like we use our kitchen sink as a bathroom washbasin is illegal and we did not know this ( 410.150(A) ). This may be the tip of the iceberg. I feel like we have been taken advantage of and will be displaced. Any information at this time is wildly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
