    Legal Advice Buyers back out of a home sale due to possible undiscovered mine under our neighborhood.


    Buyers back out of a home sale due to possible undiscovered mine under our neighborhood.

    Posted: 01 May 2020 06:08 AM PDT

    You can't make this shit up. This happened in Meade County, SD near Rapid City. We moved mid-April across the country for my job, and like anyone would do, we sold our house. Our neighborhood is nicely developed, and prices have jumped way up since we bought 5 years ago. We bought for $185K and sold (within 24 hours) for $249K. As you could imagine we were elated.

    Fast forward to last week. My wife sees on the news that there was a sink hole down the road from our house. I didn't think much of it and thought that it may be inconvenient for the home owners affected, but thought the city would repair it and be on their way. That's when everything started to go to shit (like is the theme for this year).

    We saw this https://www.newscenter1.tv/two-sinkholes-in-black-hawk-led-to-discovery-of-a-potential-gypsum-mine-thursday/ article. Apparently, there may have been an abandon gypsum mine underneath our neighborhood from the 1920s, 12 homes have been evacuated, our buyers have backed out of the purchase agreement 12 days before close, and we don't know if our home is now worthless.

    They don't know a lot of details about the mine's origin, if the company that owned it still exists, if the developer or the county even knew about it, or how many homes are really affected.

    My questions are what are our options? If we can't sell it, who is at fault and how can we get compensated for what was seemingly a done deal? I know the buyers were legally allowed to back out and I'm not interested in pursuing that, but would the developer or county be legally required to compensate us for this? I'm obviously going to lawyer up, but i just wanted a baseline before starting 2 -way with a lawyer and starting to rack up fees.

    Thanks in advance.

    TLDR: 2020 sucks ass!

    Edit: Added location

    Edit 2: Thanks for all the tips and advice. The neighborhood is meeting tonight to discuss possible legal action and a way forward.

    Painter demanding payment for not choosing him

    Posted: 01 May 2020 03:11 AM PDT

    My question - do I respond to the painters texted demand for money or just ignore it?

    The details: We decide to paint the siding and trim of our house and get several quotes. We select one around April 15th but they can't start until April 30th - communicating via text. My spouse then engages a decorator to pick colors and ultimately decide to also paint the brick to give the house an upgraded look.

    We ask the selected painter for a quote to paint the brick and he discourages us from doing so saying it's a bad idea. We tell him we are going to (we are well aware of the higher maintenance costs and potential issues with painted brick). He then sends us a revised quote. We asked for examples of homes where he had painted the brick and he sends us a literal close up picture of him painting the brick on a house.

    In the meantime the decorator recommends two painters whom we get quotes from that are lower and have many references for brick painted houses. We talk to one of the homeowners and they highly recommended the painter. We committed to this new painter and he could start immediately. On the same day - April 26 - we tell the original painter we have chosen someone else.

    He responded with a tirade of nasty and threatening texts and in the final one said since he had already bought the paint and scheduled the painters we now owed him $600 for the paint. He gave his address to send him the money. I will note we never gave him any color selections.

    We so far have ignored his texts. But should I respond saying we never had an agreement and don't owe him anything or continue to ignore this?

    Edit - location is Georgia.

    Partner punched me in the face. What’s next for him?

    Posted: 01 May 2020 05:37 AM PDT

    Last night my partner (24M) told me (21F) he's leaving for the military at the last minute after knowing for months without telling me and told me he was leaving the day after tomorrow so naturally I got quite upset with him and started crying and we got into a argument about his leaving.

    We were in his car at the time while the argument happened and then he tells me he wants to just leave for the army and I beg him to stay since it would be the last time I'd see him for months and he just starts yelling at me to "Get the fuck out of his car."

    So on my way out I get frustrated and angry and throw his weed pipe which I was holding onto towards his direction and it hits his car door which I admit was stupid but was in the heat of the moment but I don't strike him or hurt him in any way just threw it to break his stuff and I'm about to open the door to leave and he punches me right in the face so hard and pushes me out the car and throwing my stuff out leaving me lying on the sidewalk shocked that he would do such a thing and drives off.

    I now have bruises on my left eye and my nose bleed and I report it to the cops and press charges and now he is in jail and is being charged with PC 273.5 (a) felony. We live in California just for reference. What is next for him? What does this mean? Will I have to do anything next? I'm just curious since I've never dealt with anything like this before. I don't plan on going back to him or anything but any advice would be appreciated.

    Dealer service dept forgot to put oil in my car

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 10:58 PM PDT

    Author: /u/Kagemusha1337

    Title: Dealer service dept forgot to put oil in my car

    Original Post:

    Long story short

    I had taken my car for an oil change yesterday[4/29/2020] to a honda dealership.

    Got a call my oil change was completed and my car was ready for pickup. Paid for the service and they pulled my car up. Pretty routine right?

    As I drive away I notice something different right away. My car and engine sounded louder, the engine felt rough upon accelerating and I heard a kind of high pitched whirring sound.

    A few (about 10-15 minutes)minutes later I notice the oil lamp dummy light turn on. At this point I head back to the dealer service drive up and show then the problem.

    Then it freaking Dawn's on me. No oil pressure will illuminate the oil lamp light, no oil pressure means no damn oil. I panicked and popped the hood to check the oil as the service guy finds the service manager or what ever their title it.

    Aaaand guess what the dipstick showed!! Well nothing because it was bone dry.

    They wanted to drive the car to the service bay but I told them that's not a good idea and should push it.

    So they check the dipstick to confirm, admit they forgot to add oil after the drain, drain what little was left, show me a paper cone that they had drained the oil through to show no metal shavings were there, fill the car with the oil I had freaking paid for and send me on my way home.

    They told me to come back tomorrow to talk to the service rep since he had already done home for the day.

    What are my options and what kind of damage, if any, has this caused to my engine?? Running the car for about 15 min with no oil. I can go into more detail if you ask.

    TL:DR: dealership forgot to add oil to my car after an oil change, dipstick bone dry, drove car for a few minutes with about 15min operating time. Car is only 2 years old with 18,000 miles.

    Edit: the car has a 1.5L 4cyl turbo engine.

    Update(4/30/2020): went to the dealer and talked to the service director. It was the same guy who witnessed their attempt to complete my oil change.

    I told him there has to be damage done to the engine and turbo since the oil lamp was on, he said it was on do to oil pressure or the black of, I then told him "right that's why I then checked the oil at your service drive up and the dipstick was dry". He then tries to tell me that I barely drove the car and that there was a little oil in the sump and turbo lines so the engine should be fine.

    What are my legal options?

    My roommate took in a subletter for his apartment and the subletter is now squatting and the lease ends today.

    Posted: 01 May 2020 06:07 AM PDT

    We are four guys who met in grad school. We have been living in this four bedroom apartment for 3 years now. One of my roommates got a job in a different state and be sublet his room. He didn't ask us about it. He basically just told us to let the person in. We were pretty mad at him but he said he was desperate and it was ultimately something we just dealt with.

    Then the subletter started acting like a crazy person. For context the subletter is a 60+ woman, the rest of us are mid-20s. She started accusing us of eating her food(she puts raisins in rice....no one ate her foods), would come home drunk, would constantly talk while we were trying to watch tv, told causally racist stories and would jus that into shouting matches with us. We just tried to deal with it because it was only a month and a half.

    And then the COVID-thing started. One of my roommates and I decided to quit our jobs (we were servers and the restaurants ended up closing less than a week later) and after talking to my gf and roommate we decided to leave NYC to be home with our families. Among many reasons, we didn't want to be stuck with this lady. So we left in mid March.

    Then my roommate decided to let her stay another month. Through April. Whatever we weren't there anymore. Well now she's not leaving. The lease is supposed to be over but she's squatting and the leasing company says we have to pay month to month now until she is removed.

    Technically only two roommates are on the lease. The one who sublet and another one. The other roommate is freaking out. And just wants to pay them. The roommate who left and I, were taking part of the rent strike for the month of April. Since it was our last month anyway, we assumed they would take our full deposit and either be done with it or deal with it when they came. The company hadn't asked for their money or given us any trouble until the roommate reached out and told them that he sublet his room and that she won't leave, a day before the lease ends. Then my other roommate contacted the company and asked if it was okay to use the security deposit for rent and of course they said no.

    So what now? I think my roommates keep fucking up by going to the company and taking and implicating themselves. Advice? Anything really. Thanks

    My boss in a meeting just said that discussing wages with any other employee leads to immediate termination.

    Posted: 01 May 2020 07:04 AM PDT

    I work at a fast food chain location in Minnesota and during a meeting my store manager as well as the regional manager said that any discussion of wages would immediately lead to an individual being fired.

    First question is, can they do this? I am pretty sure glancing at the laws there is no way that this is enforceable.

    Second question, would I be within my right to inform other employees that the laws says they are allowed to talk, or could I get in trouble for telling people the law?

    I currently have no intentions of telling anyone my wages, but I want to know my rights.

    IL-My minor daughter was served with a Stalking No Contact Order filed by her best friend's (abusive) mom. Obviously we'll go to court but is there anything else we can do?

    Posted: 01 May 2020 11:30 AM PDT

    My daughter has had the same best friend for 6 years. They are both 16, and the friend will be 17 next month. Friend's mother has a history of abuse, documented with DCFS. The abuse has not been physical lately, just threats of physical and extreme mental. Part of the abuse is control; she basically keeps her kid held prisoner at home anymore. The shelter in place order isn't helping.

    Anyway, last week things escalated and the friend left her house. This is not the first time she has left. She puts up with the screaming and threats for as long as she can...then leaves. This is probably the 4th or 5th time in the last year she's left. Typically she'll ride her bike around and be back home before midnight. By Friday of last week, things had escalated and the friend left again on her bike. My daughter met her a little while later, put her bike in our car, and came back home. Police were called. They are well aware of the mom, as she calls the police on a weekly basis for various reasons. I explained what I knew; they said the friend would have to go home, and allowed me to drive her there, while they followed.

    I ended up filing a DCFS report on Monday, the main things being: locking her kid out in February until 2am, and screaming at her when she tries to eat any food. She also actively tries to take away the cell phone the dad (not in this town) pays for. This concerns me as then it would mean the friend has no way to contact the outside world for help (she ended up calling 911 at my request last Sunday at 3am. Her mom torments her, won't let her sleep, she was getting ready to leave the house again, and I told her to call 911).

    And now today a sheriff showed up with a Stalking No Contact Order in my daughter's name, filed by the friend's mom. The court date is May 18, and I'll accompany my daughter there.

    Is there anything else I should do? What should I expect? I highly doubt the friend will be allowed to be there, so it'll be the mom's version of whatever story she'll tell against us. Our daughters are best friends. Hers relies on mine to keep her sanity. Is this even enforcable? I've told my daughter not to contact her friend until May 18, but they talk daily so I'm sort of at a loss here. The friend has reached out to ME for help over the past year as well. My name isn't on the order, but I'm assuming I shouldn't reach out to her either? And what is my daugher supposed to do when her friend contacts her?

    Covid positive nurse. Hospital won’t pay PTO (IL)

    Posted: 01 May 2020 06:21 AM PDT

    I am a nurse at a hospital. I have worked closely with patients that are covid positive. My facility is now mass testing everyone that is admitted to the hospital and all of the staff. I have tested positive and am required to be off of work for 10 days. In every newsletter they have sent it states that we will be paid for our regularly scheduled shifts. However, they will not pay now using a loophole saying that I must not have worn the proper PPE or contracted the virus elsewhere.

    Are they obligated to pay me for my time off? Is this a workman's comp issue? Should I go to the media? Thank you!

    School resources officer

    Posted: 01 May 2020 06:42 AM PDT

    Not me but a friend. My friend was pulled into the school resource officers office because she witnessed a fight and recorded it. She was asked to unlock her phone for the school, knowing they did not have a search warrant she refused. The officer said that if she did not unlock her phone she would be arrested and prosecuted (did not say what for). Out of fear of being arrested she opened her phone for the officer and was suspended for recording the fight. Did this cop do anything illegal or wrong?

    Edit: colorado

    Prenup seems unfair... am I wrong?

    Posted: 01 May 2020 11:31 AM PDT

    We are in TN.

    I am 24F and fiancé is 25M. Wedding was originally planned for next May, but now we are getting married next month.

    My fiancé's family owns a business that he is set to run in a few years. They also have some buildings/houses that they rent out and several properties for hay baling and such. He also has an inheritance that he is a beneficiary on, but will not have control over until he is 40. His dad talked to us about a prenuptial agreement a few months ago- fiancé knew and did not tell me anything about it. So it is safe to say I was blindsided.

    Their lawyer came by our place yesterday and gave us two copies of the prenup. My fiancé has no idea what is in this prenup. He still hasn't even read it.

    I have read it and most of it I do not understand, but from what I do understand it does not seem fair.

    Separate Property: reads as it stays separate even if it increases in value. "Said estate shall include all interest, rents and profits which may in time accrue or result in any amount from any increase in value or be collected for the use and benefit of the same in any way, and shall include any inheritance now inchoate, to be received by either party's relative's, either by Will or under the statutes of descent and distribution."

    Release by "my name": "'my name' hereby releases any and all rights in 'fiancé's name' property or estate which she might have by reason of this marriage to 'fiance', whether by way of dower, statutory allowance, homestead, year's support, intestate share, election to take in his will, elective share of surviving spouse, marital property portion, wrongful death statutes, or otherwise. 'My name' further agrees and covenants that she will not assert any claim, interest, estate or title under the laws of this or any other state by virtue of her surviving 'fiancé' in or to the property, real, personal or mixed, or life insurance of which 'fiance' may die sized or possessed can except as to joint property under 'paragraph that I typed above this one'.

    It goes on to say that future wages from any source whatsoever stay separate unless we commingle the wages in a joint account.

    It also says retirement benefits stay separate, we be fully released from paying alimony, support, maintenance and attorney's fees.

    It does have a termination after 10 years of marriage. Except for the first two paragraphs above.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I am reading this as I get nothing at all? We are in the process of building a house (still picking out fixtures to get final cost from our contractor). The build will be paid for by money from his inheritance- would that not be considered benefiting the marriage? We also just got a joint bank account and the day before he had money from his stock account transferred into the savings that we both now share.

    I am coming into this with nothing but what is in my checking account. I do not come from a family with money. I have no assets. I moved to his small town from a big city so there aren't many opportunities for work (his parents do not want me working at their store right now). We also have a 7 month old together and have been living together for over a year. I have been staying at home with the baby. I would leave this marriage with nothing but half of the value of our soon to be house from what I understand.

    When he takes over the business we do plan on me coming there and helping him run it. His sister gets profit from the store. I don't necessarily think that it is fair for me to get nothing if he were to pass while we are still running it. Ex. He starts running it at 30, 20 years in he passes and all of those years I helped him. I did the bookkeeping side of things. What happens to me? I think at that point the store should be left to me and his sister and I would continue to run it and I would then pass it on to our son (his sister has never worked at the store and told me herself that she has no interest in it). If he passes before his parents than it goes back to them (they are in their early 60s). Something like that.

    Am I being unreasonable? Please let me know. I really am just lost on what to think.

    I am meeting with a lawyer on Monday. What should I be including in this agreement?

    Edit: spelling Edit: I want to make it clear that I have absolutely no problem with signing a prenuptial agreement. I just want to make sure I can pay my bills and take care of my children if we were to ever divorce. Especially if we were to divorce years from now and I have not worked.

    Can I get a cease and desist letter against my father?

    Posted: 01 May 2020 05:22 AM PDT

    6 months ago I quit my job where I was working for my father. I was very professional, offered to find and train my replacement etc.

    He exploded, said a bunch of hurtful things about me, my husband, his family and even lied about what kind of employee I was calling me a thief and a liar. I let it all go, and just decided to not associate with him anymore.

    Since then, he has shown up to my workplace (I was a bartender at the time) to try to corner me into talking to him. Also he has posted many things about my husband and I on Facebook. I continued to ignore, hoping he would get bored.

    It's six months later, and he is still posting horrible and awful things about us on facebook. (He has a huge following or else I wouldn't care)

    Is there anything I can do to make him stop?

    (GA) My neighbor's off leash dog, apartment complex "private" property laws, & harassment by neighbor

    Posted: 01 May 2020 03:22 AM PDT

    I live in Athens, GA in an apartment that is owned by a private landlord. Basically, each apartment building in the "complex" is owned by a different landlord, some landlords own more than one building. You can drive around most of the "complex" in a circle, it's basically all in one block and the apartments are facing the road. There is an area of green space inside the circle consisting of land behind each apartment building.

    The very first weekend I lived here, one of my neighbor's dogs ran across this area late at night when it was pitch black and attacked my larger dog. My dog was fine, just had some wet fur where the dog attempted to latch onto him. I worry if this were my smaller dog that this interaction would have resulted in a trip to the emergency vet. I didn't have an address for the dog at the time so I was unable to complete a report with animal control.

    The next time I saw my neighbors gathering with off leash dogs, I told them what had happened previously and if I saw their dogs off leash again, that I would report them to animal control. Most neighbors have been complying. The neighbors that live across the way from me haven't, and their dog regularly tries to run up to me. I have reported them to animal control and they've been issued a warning.

    Yesterday, the dog ran up to me again, and I suggested they use a long leash so the dog could still run around but also be confined and under control. The neighbor then tried convincing me that they've adopted many dogs from the county, and therefore the county would be on their side. She then tried to claim the land outside of her apartment as her private property and that she could have the dog off leash there. Even if the area is private property, the dog is never "under control" and regularly runs into the street and onto other areas behind apartment buildings.

    Her partner came to my apartment later that day and violently pounded on the door while I crated one of my dogs. When I answered, he was rude and wouldn't let me speak without claiming any interjection to stop him from "talking at me" was disrespectful. He then called me an ugly person, I asked him to leave, and started to close the door. He then continued to yell at me through my door claiming that he will start reporting me with false accusations of off leash dogs. I told him I was going to call the police, and he left as I began talking to the dispatcher. I went ahead with the report so there is a paper trail. The officer recommended that I call the court office in the morning to speak with them about filing for some sort of protection order. I've never had to deal with this before, I don't know what I'm doing.

    I'm afraid that this will only escalate from here. What are the laws regarding private property outside of an apartment building? I thought you could only claim the specific area you are renting as your specific property, and the rest is shared.

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or if I added the wrong flair, so I apologize in advance if that is incorrect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My dog was attacked

    Posted: 01 May 2020 08:01 AM PDT

    We live in Kansas. Yesterday while my wife and I were walking our dog, two pit bulls rushed out of their yard and attacked my dog. The pit bulls had been sitting in their front yard with their owner. The owner later claimed that both dogs were chained but broke their chains (preposterous and irrelevant). My dog had several bites, but is going to recover. My wife twisted her ankle and may have a fracture (don't know yet). I have a mild back injury for which I am getting a prescription. The owner of the dogs stopped returning calls or emails when I mentioned asking her to pay the vet bill.

    What should I do? Small claims court? Press charges? I just want compensation for veterinary and medical bills.

    {MN} title jumping victim

    Posted: 01 May 2020 08:11 AM PDT

    Hey,

    I live in Minnesota and I bought a car and was so taken up in the moment that I didn't notice the name and date on the title wasn't the same as the seller's. I tried contacting the seller but of course, they won't respond. I tried reaching out to the person whose name is on the title with no luck. What do I do? I'm scared to contact the DMV just to have my car taken away but understand I probably will have to.

    Please no "you shouldn't have done that!" Comments. I feel foolish enough, just trying to get some understanding of my options.

    Can I sue my home inspector for passing a septic system that was not even legal

    Posted: 01 May 2020 12:39 PM PDT

    So my husband and I purchased a home about two years ago. This home has a septic system on it. Before we could purchase the home we obviously had to have an inspection done, and in particular one had to be completed just for the septic system. We've since started having issues with the entire system and have called a few different professionals for consultations on what's wrong and how to fix it. Every single one has came and instantly stated the system is far too small for a home this size and that it's not even legal. Because of this we're now having to completely replace the entire system to the tune of around 6500$ all because our inspector not only didn't mention the deficiency but passed the septic system as adequate.

    What I'm wondering is if we have any legal recourse to go after him for the price of the inspection, as well as the price we're now having to pay to replace the entire system just to bring the house up to code?

    TIA for any and all advice. This is in midland Texas if that matters

    (NY) Mass Layoffs with insufficient WARN Notice: Can I still collect UI while I'm receiving 90-days WARN Act mandated lieu of notice pay from my company?

    Posted: 01 May 2020 07:52 AM PDT

    Hi Everyone,

    I work in NYC at a large corporation and was informed that I am being laid off earlier this week; today is my last day. Since it was a mass layoff and the proper WARN Act protocol was not followed, the company is paying me and everyone else they chose to layoff for 90 days (NY WARN Law calls for 90 days notice, not 60 days like Federal WARN) following my last day of work, and only after that 90 days does my four weeks of severance kick in. I thought I read somewhere that since WARN Act-related payments are not normal severance, you can collect concurrently with UI (which in NY afaik you cannot collect UI and normal Severance simultaneously) Just for clarity:

    May 1: my last day of work. I am laid off at the end of the day officially.
    July 31: my last day of payments from the company in lieu of NY State WARN Act notice (my company refers to it as "keeping me on the payroll" in my severance agreement/waiver of claims.
    August 1: Severance begins.
    August 28: Last day of my severance payments.

    My severance agreement/waiver of claims was careful not to mention the WARN Act specifically but I was told during my layoff phone call earlier this week that the money for the period May 2-July 31 is due to lack of WARN Act notice. The agreement says that even if i choose not to sign that it, I'm still entitled to that "staying on the payroll" money through July 31 and would only be forfeiting the 4 weeks severance.

    Thank you guys so much for any advice!

    I feel my workplace is taking advantage of myself and my coworkers due to coronavirus. Do I have any legal recourse? [US-LA]

    Posted: 01 May 2020 09:16 AM PDT

    I work for an office of a large consulting and technology company. We usually work in the office but we are working from home currently. I was hired on as a software engineer but was recently put on a project with around 100 people from my office, by my manager without my awareness, any information about the project, or my consent until I had already been placed. The project is not doing software development, as is listed in my job description, but data entry and call center work. Management told us in a meeting to stop all other work and training until the completion of the project. Previously work life balance had been good, but a person above me is regularly scheduling meetings after 9pm to be held early the next morning, as well as asking us to complete tasks or attend meetings after we have completed a full day of work. Though I was told this is a traditional position, I am expected to work shifts from 8:30AM to 6:30PM. I found out this morning that this week is shift one, which goes through Saturday. Shift two begins on Sunday and ends at 6:30PM Wednesday. Since myself and my coworkers also worked Monday this week, this is 10 straight days of work with no break. After this we will work shifts of Sun-Weds, with Th, F, and Sat off. However we are also working memorial day, a company wide holiday I was promised off. I am exempt from overtime, and am receiving no bonus for extra hours worked or taking on the project. No skills relevant to my career are being gained, and I feel overwhelmed not having work life balance while being under a state enforced quarantine with no personal escape. I feel my workplace is taking advantage of us because they know we cannot quit during this time, as quitting makes you ineligible for unemployment benefits, and it is excessively difficult to find a job right now. I am terrified of getting fired for the same reason. It feels they took this project to make a quick buck just because they know we cant do anything about it. I have written a detailed record of emails, things I mentioned being said in meetings and other events in case I want to report to HR. My question to this sub is, what is my best course of action? Do I have legal recourse in this situation, should I contact HR? This feels very wrong to me but I cant be sure anything is illegal, and I'm not sure what to do as I cant really afford to lose a lawsuit, especially as they will not keep me on after i file it. I am based in Louisiana, USA.

    US Veteran Rejected for Unemployment - Says I'm an Illegal Immigrant, but I'm actually a Native American War Vet!

    [The following post is made on behalf of my very irate dad, who is struggling to pay bills due to this unemployment fiasco]

    Hi Legal Reddit! We could really use your help. My dad has been calling dozens of times a day to fix this problem, but he can't get a hold of anyone when he calls the unemployment office. His concern is that there are too many cases, and by the time his would get heard, the unemployment period would be over, and he wouldn't see a cent of the money he needs.

    It's hard for him to see a way out of this, and any help you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

    He lives in Washington state, if that helps ( Near Seattle WA, USA )
