| My wife’s employer is asking her to return to the office during the pandemic, she is pregnant. Posted: 01 Jul 2020 12:19 AM PDT My wife have been working from home since March, and close to all of her work can be complete remotely. End of last week her employer asked her to return to the office as of July 1st, she attempted to extend her work from home but her employer was firm about her returning. Is there anything she can do? We are in Los Angeles CA. I read there is obligations to make "reasonable accommodations" for high risk groups( pregnant and elderly) in la county. She doesn't want to burn a bridge and want to leave the option open to return to her work once we have our first child. Want to see what our options are. Thank you all ahead of time and stay safe during the pandemic. Edit: thank you all for the advice, not sure why the thread is locked couldn't reply. She does have an DR note already, she work at a small company the HR. Is pretty much the boss lady. [link] [comments]  |
| My child molesting father is giving music lessons to children Posted: 01 Jul 2020 08:56 AM PDT I recently learned my pedophile father is still giving music lessons to children. I'm reaching out here because my previous attempts to have him convicted have all resulted in nothing. My father sexually abused me from age 4 (earliest memory but could have been before that) until I was about 10. Both of my younger brothers check all the boxes for symptoms of childhood abuse, but neither have memory of it actually happening. They don't remember much from early childhood at all. Both homes we grew up in had/have a soundproof room for recording music. This is also where he gives the lessons. Growing up I've seen students as young as 5 come for lessons. He has been providing lessons at home, public schools, and churches for 30yrs. I've called CPS 4 times in the last 10yrs to report individual incidences when my youngest brother was still a minor and exhibiting clear signs of sexual abuse. Most recently - my other brother, my therapist, and myself made separate reports that led to CPS interviewing my parents and youngest brother who was 13 at the time. They found no reason to investigate further. I also filed a police report, but no action was taken and the report has been closed. There's no physical evidence of abuse that I know of. My main question is: would it be advisable for me to find previous students of his to come forward about being abused? I am considering posting to the city-specific subreddit to ask anyone that has received [instrument] lessons that was abused to come forward. My youngest brother still lives at home. I do not want to involve him, because he is basically emotionally trapped at the house. It's a disgusting situation. I am completely open to other / better suggestions. This is all in Texas.

| [NJ] Cops said I was a guest because I havent paid recently. Posted: 01 Jul 2020 01:26 AM PDT UPDATE : Cops stopped by again this morning. It was the same cops actually and they had about 20 minutes till shift change so that made things a lot easier. He basically came right out and said that since I've been here for 3 years that I need to be evicted and he couldn't do anything. I didn't even need to mention a lease, previous rent payment, or any type of agreement. Police just do not deal with situations where the "guest" has proof of address and if the person has stayed at the property for some time. He did mention to my mom that if she wanted to skip the eviction process the only way was to file a abusive restraining order against me. Should we have to make stuff up at that point so I'm not sure if she will go that route. I'm looking for a place as we speak though. Do not want to be here any longer than I have too. Thanks for any help/comments. Original Post : Hello tonight the cops were called to my parents house over a verbal altercation. Everything ended calm and no one had any issues with me staying the night. The cop did ask me "Are you paying to stay here". I responded with "I have not been paying recently but have in the past". He then told me that I was a guest and had to leave whenever my parents wanted to. The thing is I have paid for rent in the past (April 2020 most recently). I have receipts. We also have a written agreement but my parents have the only copy so I'm not to hopeful on that. The written agreement was good until January 2021. I have tons of texts discussing payment, payments received, and signing and returning of the agreement. I didn't want to argue with the cop because I wasn't being removed then and there but once the cops left my parents said I must move out tomorrow. Basically If the cops come back to remove me or If I have to call because they lock me out what proof do I need to show the cops that I am a tenant and not a guest. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Jul 2020 07:08 AM PDT I posted here yesterday regarding musical instruments my husband and I had in pawn, in good standing (as far as our loan repayments go), and how the pawn shop experienced a two- alarm fire. We spoke to the staff at the shop yesterday regarding settlement for any damages to our property. They said they are willing to settle with us. However, and this is where my question comes in, they will not show us the instruments or discuss settlement unless we bring CASH IN TOTAL in EXACT CHANGE to pay off the loan. They say it's our call if we say the goods are damaged or not but they will not show us anything or discuss anything without full payment first. Is this legal? We have nothing in writing from them. Or if we can't pay in full we can continue renewing the loan. However, why should we renew if we can't even see the items? They might not even exist any longer. If we renew do we relinquish right to a settlement? How long would we have, legally, then, to settle? Surely, it can't be indefinite. I really would appreciate clarification. We are in Oregon. I need my savings for important personal matters. I can't see how it is right for them to pressure us when I see it as being their responsibility to at least show us the articles with demanding payment to do so. [link] [comments]  |
| Am I a "tenant" when living with/taking care of 88 year old Mom? Posted: 01 Jul 2020 04:37 AM PDT [ California, US ] tl,dr: is there a Landlord/Tenant relationship between my brother (pretending to be Landlord) and myself (Tenant?)? I (56,m) have been living with and caring for Mom (88,f) for the past three years, in a home that she and my dad paid off in the early 90's. I'm unemployed and have been for 2.5 years. I pay for my own food with EBT, and do all the shopping for her with funds that she hands me for those trips. She pays the utilities and property taxes. In return, I provide care and companionship. She has just gone into a memory care facility; chances are that she won't come home again although my brother referenced below will not show me any documentation regarding her condition(s). My mothers name is still on the deed (alongside a family trust). There have been zero court actions--that I or a court clerk can find on the county court calendar--regarding incapacity/conservancy. There is no text in the Living Trust that converts a medical opinion into legal/financial/property agency for the executor (MedicalPOABrother). My brother, who has (springing) medical POA (via advance directive), is claiming that the aforementioned medical POA (in effect for just under two months), combined with a Living Trust, gives him financial/property POA as well. He is trying to evict me. He has had our other brother post a 60-day notice to quit on my front door. A pro-bono attorney has said that the notice is unenforceable. (I am out of hours with said attorney, and am unemployed, so .. "speak with your/an attorney" is not a simple solution here.) Once the courts are running again, MedicalPOABrother does have the financial resources to obtain conservancy, but that will take months and months with the current backlog, we think. What I'm trying to figure out is: if any of this is true, what kind of "tenant" would I be considered? There is no "lease", nor any other documents saying that I have permission to live here or that I pay rent. (I had been advised to have Mom hand-write a note saying that she wants me to live here, and to be the Master Tenant and rent out a couple of rooms for income for her beneficiaries once she passes; MedicalPOABrother has already confiscated one such note she has written, and is claiming that I am breaking the Trust by having her sign anything--regardless of authorship--and will be disinherited. He is also trying very hard not to let Mom and I spend any time together "unsupervised" by him.) If he's going to play hardball like this... would he not have to comply with standard California Landlord/Tenant law? Some examples I think he's playing both sides on:
I don't want to act in ways that legitimize/bolster his claims, but I want him to realize that if he's going to be a Landlord, he has to fulfill his responsibilities. I'm hoping this might dissuade him from acting so aggressively, and wait until things calm down. He says that he has to have rental income right away to pay for her care, but I know for a fact that he has been given access by the banks to all of mom's money (I believe by fraudulent means at this point--the matter of her capacity has not been adjudicated--but he is listed as the executor of the Living Trust). What is my legal status here? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| HOA being difficult because I host support group meetings in my own home. (MA) Posted: 01 Jul 2020 07:43 AM PDT For the last 18 years I have been a member and an organizer of a support group for trauma survivors. The room we were using for our meetings in a nearby church was recently flooded and badly damaged, and I haven't been able to find another suitable room for our meetings due to the pandemic. Not wanting the group members to be deprived of an important resource I decided to host some meetings in my basement or in a secluded area of my garden with a reduced number of attendees. (We respect social distancing rules, wear masks, sanitize our hands and everything). This came to the knowledge of the HOA board. A few weeks ago some HOA board members knocked on my door and told me they weren't pleased with this at all. They told me that people in the neighborhood feel unsafe knowing that drug addicts gather at my house. I told them that our support group is not for people fighting addiction (or maybe some of them are but they don't tell me) but for trauma survivors, and that this would stop as soon as we could go back to the church. They weren't convinced and called me inconsiderate and asked me to stop. I didn't because I consider that I have a right to invite people at my house and talk to them. Yesterday I received a strongly worded letter from the HOA demanding that I stop inviting drug addicts to gather at my house because it puts everyone in danger and they're not the kind of people we want in the neighborhood. They said I had a chance to make things right but didn't, so they're fining me $500. They will fine me for every meeting I organize from now on and threaten me with a lien on my house if I don't pay the fines. The reason they invoke is that our meetings are "breaching the peace of the neighborhood" and making people unsafe. This is completely untrue. Our meetings are 6-7 people max, we don't make noise, we don't drink, people park on my driveway or on legal spots in the street. We cause absolutely no disturbance. I checked the HOA rules and I can't seem to find which one I would be breaking. Does the HOA have any right to stop me from organizing meetings at my house? I don't see how our support group is any different from having a few guests at my house. The HOA is run by people who don't seem to know what they're doing, and I think they'd stop harassing me if I had real legal arguments to oppose. Thank you for your advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Forced to move out by my landlady who went bankrupt in another state Posted: 01 Jul 2020 11:26 AM PDT My landlady went bankrupt in a different state and came to New Jersey at the beginning of quarantine. Shes been trying to kick us our all quarantine and we are finally moving out today, but now she is going around the house looking at normal wear and tear like loose floorboards or weak doors and trying to force us to pay for it. I need to know what I can do against her legally for kicking us out of the house we've been in for 5 years just because she went bankrupt and during quarantine at that, and what rights I have against her in this situation.

| Being charged by my landlord $610 for not finding the subletter. Washington state Posted: 01 Jul 2020 10:23 AM PDT I recently moved out of my apartment (still have my lease till August) but there's now a person living in my room that was found by my landlord. I didn't sign any subletter contract, but I did give him my keys to the room. When I asked my landlord for my last month's rent and deposit back, he said the deposit will be returned 21 days after the lease ends, but since he found the subletter, he is keeping my last month's rent as payment for his service. He did not tell me that he would be charging for this service, nor did he tell me himself at all (a roommate asked me if I wanted the landord to look for a subletter, no price mentioned.) There are no terms on the lease in regards to last month's rent, the service, and I don't see any Washington state law regarding the use of last month's rent for anything like this. He told me that he doesn't expect to do work for free, and charging last month's rent is a 'fair market practice' and to ask other landlords or apartment owners if that's their practice. TL;DR: I got charged for a service without being told the price, and was never brought up until I moved out. What do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2020 01:35 AM PDT At the weekend, two of the neighbours from the same apartment above us have claimed that they dropped a phone onto one of our balconies around 2am, they came around at 6pm. Now I've not seen this photo (as I'd just had a shower so wasn't properly dressed) but my sister said it looked similar to my balcony, as hers has astro turf on it, etc. The only problem is, their balcony being right above mine, I'm not sure how they've got a direct photo looking down because both their balconies are above me and if they look down over their right, they'd only be able to see my neighbours balcony, and over to their left, my sister's. I was also up until 4 or 5am the night they claimed to have dropped the phone, as I was watching tv and I had both my window and door open so I'd have heard such a drop. They wanted to come in to check, but after some things in my apartment had been stolen last year (I accidentally left a window open) I refused as it felt a bit shady. Plus, I have a nice tv and things I've worked for, I was worried what if they were trying to "scope the place out". We decided to call their bluff when they mentioned the police. I received a phone call from a police officer who got my number from the theft that happened to me last year and she just wanted details, etc so they didn't have to come out to us, as apparently the phone had been turned off and tracking disabled so they were seeing if they could locate it, etc. Fair enough, I told her what I've mentioned here however she's yet to see the photo. Am I best just waiting on them to contact me again? If i'd have seen a phone, I'd have handed it in immediately but it feels like I'm being accused for something I haven't done.

| Posted: 01 Jul 2020 09:15 AM PDT Over the last few weeks I've been looking at apartments (Charleston area, SC). I found one on line I liked, and scheduled a viewing last Monday. I was told that due to the corona virus, they are doing virtual tours only. I take the tour on line with the leasing officer walking me through the apartment. It's a nice apartment with an upgraded kitchen (grey tile backsplash, laminate marble countertops, built in microwave, etc). At the beginning of the tour, the leasing agent tells me that "this is the exact unit I will be getting." At the end of the tour, she asks what I liked, and I specified that I liked aspects of the kitchen. Cut to a week later, I've filled out the paperwork, and started moving in. When I arrive at my apartment for the first time in person, it is not the one I was shown/told I would be getting. It is the same layout, but with a completely different, not updated kitchen (completely different non tile backsplash, original countertops stained from use, and no microwave). I email the leasing agent saying that this is not the apartment I was shown, and to advise on how it this will be remedied. She responds by saying that she told me during the tour that I would not be getting one of the recently remodeled units, and that my unit would not have a microwave. This is an outright lie, and now I am overpaying for the same unit other people in the building have that are nicer than mine. Any advice on legal recourse, or what I might do to get the apartment complex to make efforts to fix this? Side note, the unit next to mine is the same, and is being updated now. It is almost done, and looks more like what I was shown. TLDR: I was shown an apartment and told it was the exact apartment I'd be getting. When I moved in, it was a worse version of what I was shown. [link] [comments]  |
| Can I (23f) get my boss (50m) fired for talking to me about porn at work? Posted: 01 Jul 2020 09:48 AM PDT I'm a lower level employee for a university (USA) and my boss as always been a creep. He added me on Snapchat without permission and talks about other young female employees in a way that makes me uncomfortable. One day before it was time to leave for the day he stops me by his office to start up a conversation that led to the subject of porn. He said something along the lines of "it's weird that Asian porn covers up the parts because then you can't see what's going on, what's the point of that?" And so on about weird porn topics and videos for about five minutes before I found an out to walk away. I have never been so uncomfortable before but I have a hard time standing up for myself in situations I don't want to be in. It's been about two months since this has happened but recently I brought it up to a friend and she mentioned that I should talk to my other superior. I'm just afraid if I do bring it up that nothing will happen and he will find out and bring vengeance on me to make me life at work miserable. What should I do and who can I contact? I would like to remain anon to him if something does happen. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord seeking payment, threatening eviction, i don't believe i should pay it Posted: 01 Jul 2020 10:35 AM PDT (Georgia) I signed a 12 month lease in august of 2019. the lease stated that the property (single family home) would be rented for $2600/month by 5 separate tenants or $520 per tenant paid to separately to the landlord. In the month of Feb 2020 they rented out a shared space (living room) to an extra tenant who needed to begin his lease in Early feb while a previous tenant's lease did not end until feb 29, thus violating the lease agreement as they would have collected 3120 in rent that month and i did not have access to a shared space portion of the house as it was inhabited by the 6th tenant. I guess i'm looking for advice on how much i should have paid in rent for feb or if i should have paid at all, given that the landlords broke the rental agreement. I only paid partial rent that month ($433.33 as $2600/6) and now the landlord is expressing that if they don't receive the remainder they will begin eviction proceedings on July 25 after the CARES act sec 4024(b) expires. However, even so the remainder of the standard rent (520-433.33 comes out to 86.67 + a $52 late fee would come out to 138.67 and I did pay a $520 security deposit at the start of lease. According to the GEORGIA LANDLORD TENANT HANDBOOK article 7 the Security Deposit may be deducted for unpaid rent or late charges. I don't mind if this if this $138.67 is deducted out of the security deposit but the landlords are threatening action if I don't pay this amount on top of the security deposit. Am i screwed?

| Posted: 30 Jun 2020 10:32 PM PDT I've been seeing a therapist for about a year now, and decided to stop seeing her recently as we were not a good fit. I get an explanation of benefits letter every month from my insurance, but tbh, I usually chuck it without looking as I have very good insurance and I don't really feel the need to keep track. I also did trust my therapist and didn't really expect anything like this. I happened to look at the EOB for May, and noticed two additional sessions that my therapist billed me for that DID NOT happen. I'm positive now that it has probably happened many many times before, but since I don't check, I have no idea how many times she's done this. I am on the fence about reporting her :( if I don't report her, and someone finds out that she was lying about our sessions, could I get in trouble for not reporting? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2020 06:13 AM PDT We are current with our warehouse but 2 days ago they said we had to pre-pay for July storage or else they would toss out our stuff. Times are tough and we weren't expecting this, so we couldn't pull the money together in time. What are our small company's legal rights to protecting our inventory? It seems like they should have to give us some sort of notice more than 2 days of a policy change. TL;DR If anyone can help point me in the right direction of the legal protections of a small business storing items in a warehouse that would be great. [link] [comments]  |
| Custodial parent stuck making child support payments Posted: 01 Jul 2020 09:15 AM PDT All right, guys, I'm desperate, and in need of some advice or a push in the right direction. I'm asking this question on behalf of my fiancé, who is the custodial parent of his 6 year old son. Here's the situation, the long version: In 2014, my fiancé discovered his then-girlfriend was pregnant with his first (her second) child. Shortly after, he also learned she was researching ways to have an at-home abortion, which sort of sets the stage for the type of mother she's been throughout the kid's life. He obviously managed to convince her to complete the pregnancy or else I wouldn't be writing this, and 6 months after their son was born, the relationship ended. From that time on, it has been a constant battle. On paper, the child has always resided with his mother. That's what she claimed, anyway, when she filed for food stamps for the boy shortly after his birth, and also when she filed for child support when the boy was around 2. In reality, since their relationship ended, their son has lived between his paternal grandmother and my fiancé (they live across the street from each other - the kid comes and goes as he likes for the most part). His ex sees their son once every couple of months, maybe. I've been in the picture for 4 years now and it's always the same thing - once or twice a year, she'll come up with something to cause a disturbance about. Last year, on the first day of school, she raised all hell, saying she heard from a reliable source that we sent her son to school in pajamas. It didn't happen, we spent hundreds on new clothes, shoes, and school supplies. I'm sure she didn't even have anyone telling her that; she honestly just seems to enjoy the chaos. So the most recent uproar she caused was when their son got his first haircut after six years. My fiancé has been refusing for the past 3 years to touch his kid's hair, despite the pleas of me and his mother, who are the ones responsible for keeping it groomed. Alas, the kid has been BEGGING for a haircut for I'd say a year now. Dad caved, boy happy, mom raging. She shows up at a family barbecue, tells him his haircut is ugly, causes a scene, and eventually says she'll be back for everyone with someone else and a weapon. So, we call the police, and while they are there, she drove by. One of the female officers had previous dealings with her and called her. At this point, she says he pointed a gun at her (didn't happen), and on speakerphone with the officer, body cam rolling, her words are "I'm going to go get a gun and point it at him too, how about that?" An EPO was filed, which lead to a virtual court date today. When the story of how the haircut came to be was told to the judge, her response was that she would've been just as upset because Sampson's hair held his power. (Yeah, we live in Kentucky - home of the Noah's Ark museum). She also questioned my fiancé, "if he asked you for a tattoo, would you let him get one as well?" I was floored. But this is the same woman he has to report to for routine child-support-related court appointments, and who he has told time and time again about the child's living arrangements. She's done nothing to help, and ultimately dropped the EPO. We've reached out to CPS for one reason or another over the years when his mom has pulled these types of stunts. We explain the whole deal, and it goes nowhere each time ("if it's not an emergency, there's nothing we can do"). Our state has a hotline that you can report child support fraud; we've tried that - not heard anything back. We don't know what else to do. Of course, the obvious answer is get a lawyer, but funds are incredibly tight. I would've thought that the state would have been more on top of things if it meant they got to stop paying thousands of dollars in fraudulent benefits. I'm just out of ideas on where to turn. Is an attorney really the only option here? SOS Please help. TLDR: My fiancé has been on child support since his son was 2. He's been the custodial parent the whole time and is 100% financially responsible. The mother has very little contact with their son but still gets child support, SNAP benefits, stimulus payments, and claims him on taxes every year. We've reported the issue multiple times to different agencies and gotten nowhere. Where do we go from here? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2020 07:03 AM PDT My mom went in to get her tonsils removed and ended up going into cardiac arrest 13 times before they asked us to remove her off life support. She had no will that I know of. Nor did she have much. No real estate. Her most valuable asset was probably her 90's era Honda car and a laptop. Other than that she just has clothes and a TV and whatnot. I really am lost. Do I just hire a probate lawyer ? We both live in California. [link] [comments]  |
| Students monetizing our classes on YouTube without my knowledge or permission Posted: 01 Jul 2020 02:11 PM PDT I've been tutoring English online for about a year with Cambly. Both me and the company are American, but I live in Germany. I've stayed with this company because it's been flexible supplementary income during my transition abroad to teach and COVID. Two days ago, a student asked if he could post recordings of our classes on YouTube and I explicitly denied permission. The platform allows students to download and post sessions but I changed my settings a long time ago to make sure my students are never prompted to do so. I don't even teach under my real name because the stranger danger is real. I did some digging and I've found six videos on YouTube so far. Three were uploaded by the same student I verbally stated did not have my permission - the first of which he posted over one month ago. It has 10,500 views and is monetized. Another video was uploaded by a student I spoke to in a one-off, incredibly uncomfortable class. It was posted September 19, 2019 and has over 500,000 views and multiple ads. Does anyone know what rights I have regarding the monetization of the videos? I've already reported all of the videos to YouTube for privacy infringement and submitted a complaint to the education platform with the students' user IDs. I definitely want the videos pulled but I'm also livid they've been making money off of me. If you're at all familiar with this, any information would be super appreciated. Thanks, y'all!!

| Posted: 01 Jul 2020 12:22 PM PDT I wrote a book I'm in California My younger sister is now texting me that she's going to sue me for defamation. I'm currently homeless I live in a truck and she's saying she's going to take my truck away. I sold 32 copies of my book and she says that she wants all the money from that. I called the school to get my school records because I thought that there might be something in there that would help prove my case. because the police came to my school a couple of times to talk to me, but they said that they don't keep records of that kind of thing. there are multiple members of my extended family who know the truth but I don't know if I can force them to tell the truth. my immediate family is in denial completely and it's my word against theirs. I'm homeless and mentally ill because of the trauma that I suffered and they're still abusing me as an adult. now they're using the legal system to suppress my story. I need help.

| Helping family take care of legal "stuff" after death Posted: 01 Jul 2020 03:02 PM PDT My grandmother passed away and the responsibility for a lot of things falls on my dad as the next of kin, since he is the oldest of her surviving sons. My dad lives out of state, as does my uncle whom she had elected to be executor of a will that we cannot find. I have uncle that lives locally, but has a drug problem and cannot be relied upon. My dad and other uncle have asked me to help with things (I took care of her in my home from the time she started hospice until she passed), but because I'm the granddaughter I don't really have a lot of legal power to take care of things. My dad asked if there's something like a power of attorney which would grant me the ability to help handle her affairs on his behalf since I am local. Is there such a thing? If so, what is it called? Thank you, in advance, for your help. [link] [comments]  |
| Debt buyer terminated lawsuit before court. Posted: 01 Jul 2020 01:27 PM PDT This is in GA: Junk debt buyer who can sue got a hold of a credit card debt that I don't owe. They had me served a few months ago and I denied all claims and wanted a court date. Now they turn around and send me a letter of dismissal signed by their firm. Are they going to turn around and try to sue again for the same debt, or sell the debt to another similar collector who will try to do the same thing? Or am I protected by the fact it was dropped?

| Not allowed in my own apartment because of covid (Update) Posted: 01 Jul 2020 12:56 PM PDT Location: West Chester PA Situation: I am a college student and I am living in an off campus apartment building. I started to develop symptoms for Covid on Saturday June 20th. I went back to my parents house after getting tested Sunday. I then rode out the illness quarantined in the upstairs of my parents house and that's where I still am right now. The CDC says "You can be with others after 3 days with no fever, Respiratory symptoms have improved (e.g. cough, shortness of breath), and 10 days since symptoms first appeared". This is taken directly from their website and I fit all three criteria. Anyways, I told my roommate that I will be coming back tomorrow because today is my 10th day since symptoms arrived, I am back to 100%, and haven't had a symptom in over 3 days. He asked that I don't come so soon so I said I would talk to my parents and see what I could do for him. Before I was able to even do so he called the management of my building and told me. I was then contacted by management and said I am not allowed back until I provide proof of a negative test. I decided to be kind and say I will not return until the weekend, but I do not feel like taking and waiting for another test. It can take up to a week to get results back and I have heard that many people test positive way past the point of being infectious because the test detects the virus, even when dead. Questions: I am curious if there is actually any real legality to them not allowing me back? What if this is someone's only place of residence? I feel like that is not allowed as I am paying my rent there. If someone could let me know the legality behind this, and what is the best response to the management that would be great! Update : They had a lawyer draw up a letter saying I cant come back until negative test, but refuse to say what part of the lease im breaking. [link] [comments]  |
