| Mother keeps sending police to my apartment for welfare checks Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:48 AM PDT I'm 23 and have been living away from my mother since I was 18. She has sent police to my house / school / work multiple times over the past 5 years. The only reason she does this is because I don't reply to text messages quickly enough (I'm talking 30 minutes and she's panicking and sending police to find me). I have been very explicit in telling her to not do this. I have set up a rule where she must give me 48 hours to reply. I recently increased this to a week. She has ignored all of this and instead threatened to file a missing person report if I didn't reply. Literally 2 days ago she moved within 8 minutes of me when I said I didn't want her living that close. I feel harassed and frightened in my own home. I am done trying to work this out with her. Is there any legal recourse I can take? Edit: Forgot to say I'm in TX [link] [comments]  |
| Friend found a diary from a house fire. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:07 AM PDT A friend of mine works in the fire/water repair industry. While cleaning belongings that were from a house fire he stumbled upon a boys diary. The diary read stories of abuse. Apparently the parents forced him to use enemas and put suppositories in his butt when he didn't want to. His dad yells at him and hits him for not pooping. Sounds like child abuse to me but the date reads 2011. I would assume the victim is no longer a child at this point. Has too much time passed to report this abuse? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 04:12 AM PDT So a quarry down the road expanded roughly 1.5 years ago, and sent out a surveyor to everyone's house in the area to look at, mainly the wells, and to also inspect the home and property for damages, as we're on a big lime stone slab, and when they blast, its like an earth quake is happening. Everyone else around, approximately 7-10 homes, got their surveys done last year. I still haven't gotten mine, but they called me multiple times saying, "hey sorry we forgot about you, can we come out soon?" But never do. Now my well casing is cracked, or appears to be, and my ceiling has developed a crack, the day after a big blast. Some co-workers suggested I go after the mining/surveying company for neglect, and sue for damages, other say re-re-re-re call the survey company and tell them what happened.

| My brother passed away. What do I do know? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 06:37 AM PDT My older brother passed away just yesterday. I am completely lost and overwhelmed with everything right now. I'm younger than him but I guess I'm in charge of all of this. I have to pay around five thousand for the funeral and cremation we will have. I don't have the money but will just put it on a card. I'll pay it off eventually. He lives alone. No kids. Just had me and my mother. Where I'm even more lost is with his belongings. He owned a house which I think he owed around 90000 on it. And he also owned two cars and owes around 30000 I think. These are just rough numbers. What happens to his stuff. I know I can go to his house and get his belongings but what about things like home and cars. What about his bank accounts. Could my mother or me somehow acccess it even they were not joint accounts or we are not beneficiaries. He was pretty well off and this would help with the funeral Costs. Or is it just lost money. What about all his accounts like light, water, phones? Going back to the house. His best friend was his roommate. Nothing official like with a lease but he lives there. What now? [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor across the street has a homeless camp in the backyard and is drug dealing all day and night Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:11 AM PDT My grandma's neighbor is a drug user and usually out of his mind. He is now running a homeless camp in his backyard and sharing needles/doing drugs. All day and night more and more people show up and walk in between the house to the backyard. They always have black baggies and needles in their hand and when they walk out they can barely keep their balance. My grandma lives alone and is getting nervous about the people coming around because they are starting to take interest in her home. We've called the police, they said they can't do anything, we called the city and they've come out twice but didn't do anything. It's to a point where homeless people are showing up and walking in between the wrong house looking for the right backyard. I'm in California for reference. Is there anything we can do? I'm concerned for my grandmas safety, she can't go out to water anymore because she's afraid. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:28 AM PDT My roommate and I sent an email to our property manager on May 25th stating that we wanted to end our lease at the end of June. They replied saying we may need to pay Early Lease Termination but gave us a form to try to get it waived. We filled out the forms they sent us - a month later, I'm already moved out, my roommate is leaving by June 30th, we try to schedule a walk through, and they basically said our ETO waiver request was denied and we never filled out an "official" 30 day notice form so we have to keep paying rent. They never sent us this form, we had no way of knowing it existed. I tell them that a written email should count as notice. They say since we didn't put "June 30th" as an exact date, it also doesn't count. Basically I have already moved out, and they are demanding that we keep paying rent because we wrote "End of June" instead of "June 30th". I'm okay with paying ETO as that is what I expected, but to say we can't even move out... What should I say to them? I do not want to give another 30 day notice and pay an extra month of rent when I no longer live there. My roommate may have also started another lease upon our supposed termination date at the current property. She could end up paying triple month's lease in July if we can't sort this out. UPDATE:The only thing our lease agreement says other than ETO money and rent is "written notice of intent to exercise the option on a specific Early Termination Date." Nothing about any forms. I'm guessing they're hanging on the "end of june" not being "specific". This IS just the property manager though, and I've left voice mail at their regional manager. I'm not sure who actually came up with the "it's not specific" argument though. If I were to threaten legal action, does anyone know what grounds this would be on? I know we can just refuse to pay, but they haven't returned our safety deposit, and I don't want my credit score to be affected. I have never been late on a single payment of anything in my life.

| [UT] Son was injured in unmarked construction on public street Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:09 AM PDT [Utah] At the beginning of this month, my son (18) was riding his manual scooter to meet his mother for lunch when he hit a patch of wet concrete. He was thrown over the handlebars injuring his head, arm and knee. The head and arm injuries are luckily superficial, but his knee is in a lot of pain. The doctor has diagnosed a bone contusion in his knee and recommended him to take it easy for 4-6 months while it heals. We are also getting him an MRI for a closer look. My son is on his feet all day for work - he is currently off and we are unsure when he heal up enough to go back. The city cited the contractor who did the work for having no signage AND for no traffic control. The contractor has sent me their insurance details and their policy limit is $1000. I feel my son should be able to claim back medical expenses so far, and for loss of income. This will exceed the $1000 policy limit, so my only option is to sue? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2020 06:39 PM PDT I am okay. I got on the elevator (floor 7) to go down to the ground floor, and the elevator fell really fast to floor 3 and then stopped at a standstill. It stayed on this floor for about 10 seconds with the doors closed and then went down to floor 2 where the doors opened and I got off. Really scary. I emailed my landlord to inform them of this as they should definitely check it out, and I was concerned something worse could happen to the next person who went on. They emailed saying that a technician was fixing the elevator while I was on it and that's why that happened. Is fixing an elevator while someone is on it allowed?

| Fiance passed away in a car accident yesterday. He is still legally married to another woman. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:09 AM PDT Location: Indiana, USA Forgive me if I'm all over the place. I am still in shock over the loss of my fiance. This is also my first ever Reddit post. As I stated in the title, my fiance passed away in a car accident early yesterday morning. He was the passenger in vehicle and the driver also died. I am heartbroken over this news, however I do have several concerns and feel maybe I should seek the advice of an attorney. My fiance is legally married to another woman. While they have been separated for nearly 7 years and living separately during that time, she finally contacted him in February of this year to get his info and she filed for divorce (Indiana, no attorneys involved). I'm assuming due to COVID-19, she hasn't filed any additional paperwork and the divorce has not been finalized. I have no contact with her. I'm not even sure if she knows he's passed, unless she has seen it publicized in the news. He and I began our relationship shortly after they separated. We have been living together during that time, minus a few months we split up a few years ago. We were obviously planning to marry at some point. We have no children together, although I have 3 of my own from my previous marriage. We rent our home. He had no bank account. He has no assets in his name, aside from a vehicle with a loan out in both of our names. There are some household bills in his name, such as utilities, TV and internet. The only other debts he had were some medical bills. I was listed as his emergency contact on everything. Most importantly of note, I was the named sole beneficiary of both his life insurance and his 401-K. Also complicating this situation, he has 3 teen-aged children as a result relationships with 2 other women, all loving in another state. He is mostly estranged from his children - their choice, not his. He was paying his court ordered child support, although he was owed a few thousand in back support due to some poor decisions he made early in their lives. I have been in contact with one child and her mother as of late last night. The other two children are aware of his passing and have given their sister the impression they don't care. His mother and and brother are his only other immediate relatives. I had to speak to his mother over the phone to break the news, as I was the one notified by the police. While this situation is difficult they are taking my wants into consideration with the arrangements. I greatly appreciate everything they are doing. My mind has been in a cycle of constant worry because of the fact that he is legally married to someone else. Am I jumping the gun in thinking I need to speak to an attorney about this situation? Is it in my best interest to protect what he intended for me to have? Any advice as to how to proceed is much appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Abusive family found out where I work and are stalking me Posted: 25 Jun 2020 03:45 AM PDT I live in Alberta, Canada! I left my very abusive/controlling family last summer. I moved across the country to live with a friend. Since then I have received over 200 phone calls and text messages begging me back and emotionally manipulating me. Even though I told the police to tell them to leave me alone. My dad somehow found out where I worked and called the store to see if I was working. This freaked everyone out because I told them that I'm estranged from my irrational/violent family. I ended up leaving my job and the city because I didn't feel safe. I mustered up the courage to text my dad and ask him how he found out and he said "someone he knew recognized me". What should I do? I'm so stressed out. Can I get a restraining order?

| Should I give my DNA to the police to prove my innocence for a crime I didn’t commit? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 10:53 AM PDT Should I give the police my DNA to prove my innocence for a crime I didn't commit? Cross post from /r/advice Around 2 years ago my girlfriend through a birthday party for one of her friends. Probably 30-40 people were there and throughout the night everyone was having a good time and there were no issues. At around 2 a.m, my girlfriend and I finished up cleaning up with the few people that were still there and headed up to bed. The only people still their/awake at this point was my girlfriends roommate and two of "my" friends which were guys ("my" because I had invited them and been closer to them but we all were mutual friends). At around 6am the next morning, my gf and I were awakened by my girlfriends roommate crying, she had woken up and seen that her pants and panties were cut with scissors. We immediate got out of bed went down to investigate and saw the fabric cut and obviously started to feel very unsafe about the situation. We called the police and took her to a hospital to get a rape kit done. She has no recollection of the events and says the last two people she was with was "my" two friends. Now it's been a couple years and I have talked to the police on multiple occasions but today I got a call asking if I'd be willing to give my DNA. I immediately answered yes as I know I didn't do anything and I thought it could help progress the case/provide some healing to the victim but the more I think about it the more uneasy the thought of giving my DNA to the police is. The two other people who were there live out of state now and have not given their DNA. I guess I want to know the negative impacts of giving my DNA and just some insight on how you'd handle this situation. [link] [comments]  |
| Client wrote me a check, the check cleared and then they somehow took the money back? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 03:16 AM PDT I built a giant pergola for someone and they wrote me a check for 2,000 dollars, they were very happy with the pergola and were asking me if they could recommend me etc. A few days after depositing the check I get a text from them saying they want 4000 dollars(labor and materials) and for me to come take the pergola down "or else" in essence they were blackmailing me. I had deposited the check immediately after receiving it and it had cleared and the 2000 was in my account a day later. After they demanded there money back, I checked my account and the money just was gone, so now they have a 30 foot pergola in their backyard that was built for free. Any idea how I can get my money back? I am also wondering how they did this because even my bank was confused as this is rarely done. This happened in New York State [link] [comments]  |
| Wage Garnishment for my ex-husbands HOA Posted: 25 Jun 2020 09:34 AM PDT [Virginia] I have been summoned to court later July because my ex-husband has not payed the HOA fees. My ex-husband and I are separated I no longer live or have contact with my husband in over a year. I have my own apartment and do not depend on his money. I do not receive any money from him at all. The HOA community has issued a wage garnishment. I don't understand why I should be responsible for him not making payments to the HOA. In addition, in December I notified the HOA that I was no longer living with my husband in over of year because we are separated. I asked the company in charge that if possible to remove me from the HOA account which they responded that they did. My ex-husband makes more than enough money to be able to make payments to the HOA because he has his own business that is successful. I plan on attending the court. I don't know what exactly to do from there. [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor's Ex-Husband Lurking Outside My House Posted: 25 Jun 2020 10:20 AM PDT Update! I just spoke to police. They refused to send an officer out to take a statement from me. The cop said it sounded like the man was just there over a custody issue and that I should stay out of it. Thank you for your advice to call the police, it was also my instinct to do so, but the interaction was very disappointing and it looks as though it failed to help my neighbor in any way. A man who I believe to be my neighbor's ex-husband has been lurking around outside our house lately. He sits in his car all day. I can't tell if it's idling because it's a hybrid, but I know it's not legal to idle in a car for hours on end in our state. When he sees my or my husband outside, he'll get out of his car and ask us (from the sidewalk) about our neighbor's comings and goings. I've personally never met the woman, and we aren't privy to her personal life. Then he'll start asking about the kids. They have 2 middle school age daughters who hang out in the backyard a lot (at least since coronavirus came along). I'm also in my yard a lot. Although we don't speak, they appear to be perfectly fine. Our response to the man's questions is "I don't know." Because we don't know and even if we did it's nobody's business. I'm not going to help him spy on his ex-wife. Then he'll get back into his car and just sit there, which comes off as menacing, it's as if to say 'if you don't tell me what i want to know, i'm going to sit in front of your house all night.' Since the pandemic began the ex-husband has called police to do a wellness check on his ex-wife house three times. Only once did my neighbor answer the door. Cops have never broken down the door, and I presume that's because they don't believe they have a good enough reason to do so. This happened again last night. Should I contact the police and tell them what I know? I just really don't want this guy sitting on my street all day, bothering every person who goes in or out of my house. [link] [comments]  |
| (Ex)Husband is trying to force me out of our house. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 10:09 AM PDT This post comes from Idaho. My soon to be ex-husband moved out of our house about 10 months ago, and is now telling me to vacate by the end of July. He moved out willingly after we had a falling out. I paid for marriage counseling for about eight months but he has decided to proceed with a divorce. We do not have any children, and he will not qualify to refinance the home on his own at this time. His 'offer' to me was that we will write up a contract that states I am no longer responsible for any financial or civil liabilities regarding the home. However, he expects me to stay on the mortgage for 12-18 months, then he "will refinance and buy [me] out." I know that such a contract won't hold up against the bank if he fails to pay, so I'm not really comfortable with that. He hasn't contributed anything to the home while he's been gone. He even charged his share of the mortgage to our HELOC, that only I make payments on. He has done no maintenance nor paid for any items needed for the home. I don't believe I am required to submit to this proposition, but I'm not sure what to do. I want to keep things civil, but he has no intention on letting me keep the house. I am 'first' on the mortgage and my income is what qualified us for the VA Home Loan. Is this something I should seek a local attorney for? Can I stay in the house as long as I don't refuse him access? Should I demand to be bought out immediately if he wants me to move out? Or is it a wise idea to take this to court, as I have much more invested in the home? Thank you, I've never had to take on a private party legally and I don't want to rake him over the coals - but I need to be smart about this and stand up for myself. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:11 AM PDT We suspected that my next door neighbor criminally trespasses into my backyard by jumping my fence. After a few days of suspicion, we installed a camera in our backyard and we have him finally on video, but his face is covered by a ski mask in the video. I do not know what he does in our backyard. In the video, he was crouched and walking near our backdoor. He fled when the camera turned on. We know it is him, but we know it cannot be verified due to the ski mask. Should I report this to the police? I am afraid of retaliation from the neighbor and his brother if the police questions him. He will know it was me. We are two young women living together in a house. We are afraid. What can I do to protect myself from this neighbor in the future? Location: Austin, TX [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2020 02:12 PM PDT I live in NJ and the governor, along with two others from NY and CT unveiled a travel advisory where if you were in an area that is considered a hot zone for corona virus you must quarantine for 2 weeks. My boss and i had an agreement i was to come back next week due to the fact i was on vacation. i was in North Carolina where there has been an increase in confirmed cases. i was in contact with him when i was in NC, so i texted him that i think it would be responsible to quarantine and not come back to work just yet. He then told me that he would have to terminate me because the District Manager said anyone who refuses to work will be terminated on the spot. is this legal? i'm willing to work as we've agreed on previously but a government issued travel advisory wouldn't supersede that?thank you in advance.

| Landlord “Fixed” Our AC, But Everyone Is Saying the Fix is Dangerous: What Now? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:44 AM PDT I was told this was the best place to post this. I live in NY, but not in the city. So my husband and I rent the crappiest little one-bedroom, but we console ourselves that it is temporary— we are out of here no later than November 1st to move. Where we live it's been upped 80s and humid. Oh, and I'm 35 weeks pregnant, so the heat and me are not friends! The AC unit is super, super old and built into a wall (not a window), and at the beginning of this summer our landlord gave us an extension cord so the AC could be plugged in (didn't reach the outlet). Naive me didn't know that this was dangerous, and apparently neither did landlord. Well last night I woke up fortuitously to find that after the AC being on for just two hours, the plug had started to melt and burn into the extension cord. I literally averted an electric fire by possibly minutes. I told my landlord today, knowing full well the proper fix would be to replace the AC, right, since the cord is damaged beyond repair? He wrote back to my text saying: "I will go to Home Depot and buy a heavy gauge chord and then cut that plug in piece and splice it so it's long enough to reach outlet." And that's what he did, apparently. I'm terrible with electric stuff (proud to say I'm pretty good at building things and repairs but nothing involving wiring). I told my parents what happened (my dad is in construction management) and some of my mom friends, and everyone is clamoring that this was a dangerous move that still leaves us vulnerable. Especially bringing a baby into this apartment I'm now super nervous, but don't know what to do. How should I proceed? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:42 AM PDT In 2017 I was studying abroad. I needed to file my taxes so I emailed my home university's (In Philadelphia, PA) financial aid counselor to see if they could send me my W2 form, as I was a work-study student. They said sure, and emailed it to me. Only they emailed me every students' W2 as one attached .pdf file. Nothing was really done about it, other than asking me to delete the email with the attached file. The financial aid counselor responsible actually was promoted not even a year after the incident. I guess my question is; is there's legal action I can/should take about this, even if it happened 3 years ago? [link] [comments]  |
| Spouse is refusing to pay his half of the bills, need some advice Posted: 25 Jun 2020 03:42 AM PDT Ok so I make minimum wage but since the Covid thing happened I've been making unemployment so it's been almost twice as much so my husband has been calling off from work around twice a week for about two months now. Last month he did not pay a single bill except for his car payment. This month he is trying to do the same thing. We have a dog that needs surgery and it's going to cost around $1200 and he has options for financing and making payments but he wants to pay it all upfront. I told him that I'm paying the rent so he needs to pay for it and the financing will be a lot better for us because we need the money because I just got back to work and am not going to be able to pay the bills on my own. He says that I have to pay for half and won't help me with the bills either. I've been trying to save the money I made for just in case he refused to help pay for bills this month and he found out and is saying that I'm "hiding" money from him. I don't want to move out because our rent is very cheap and I'm afraid I won't be able to afford a place on my own. Is there a legal way to make him promise to pay his half of the bills? I don't want to separate from him, I just want it to be fair. I'm in Southern California btw. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2020 07:17 PM PDT As title states, I have a sibling that was found unconscious likely due to trauma caused by seizure. For the past year parents have been taking care of this individual for all medical, financial needs as the spouse was caught for multiple crimes and sentenced to jail for some time. Sibling has been in the hospital for a few days now which the hospital then decided they had to contact the spouse and that they would have to make any decisions that will arise regarding the medical treatment since sibling is unconscious. We are obviously furious over this as the spouse that is in prison is in there for a reason, and are desperate to find a way to prevent his control over the situation. Any advice is much appreciated, even if its a "google this term". [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a way to break a lease for an apartment I can't use? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:52 AM PDT Before COVID-19, I was living in an off-campus apartment close to my college. I renewed my lease from August to December because it was going to expire after July and I was planning to stay there until I finished college in December. After schools and universities started to close because of quarantine, I had to return to my home country ( I'm a internacional student) and now have to finish college online because There are no flights going to or from the US anymore. I talked to the leasing office of my apartment and they told me there was no way to cancel the lease and that I needed to find someone else to take the lease or continue paying rent for an apartment I'm not even able to use. It' s been difficult to find people to sublease my apartment to and we can't really afford to continue paying rent because of the reduced income my family now has because of COVID-19. Is there really no way to cancel a lease? (In Florida) I appreciate any kind of help or advice. Thanks for reading! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:56 PM PDT Ok so I had a family member who went through bankruptcy. As part of the bankruptcy deal they surrendered this vehicle back to the bank. They tried to drop the vehicle off and they wouldn't accept it and they won't come and get it. It's been almost three years. What are her options? Does she just keep it? (GA) [link] [comments]  |
