    Legal Advice I found a hidden camera in my apartment bathroom facing the toilet, wtf.


    I found a hidden camera in my apartment bathroom facing the toilet, wtf.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 07:59 AM PDT

    Per the title, it was located facing the toilet. It's built into a USB Wall plug phone charger thing so I don't think it was placed by building management. I'm thinking maybe a friend or my boyfriend put it there? I'm pretty confused as to what steps to take to protect myself. BC, Canada btw.

    Edit: Okay so with a strong consensus for going to the police (and one creep asking for footage go fuck yourself), I'm currently in a car with an officer heading to my apartment to gather the evidence. BF is at work, I'm nervous. This is beyond scary for me.

    Edit 2: So big relief for me, we pulled the SD card from the back and viewed the footage. It was a maintenance tech guy who is supposed to install windows in a few days and was in the apartment last week to get the dimensions. Thank you people for the advice. Police say it's pretty solid case because they have his face in the footage (also saw some... Interesting footage of myself, family and friends😐 burned into my brain forever........)

    Edit 3: After some talking with a family lawyer and police, my friends and family that were captured in the footage can also sue for privacy invasion or something or also pile on charges I think? I'm not completely sure of the terminology but this dude is proper fucked according to my parents' lawyer lol. The BF and I are also going to install some real security cams in the apartment so that we can have the place monitored in the future. Thank you everyone and stay safe out there 💗

    Sister’s rapist’s family still harassing her & the other victims TWELVE YEARS LATER

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 07:47 PM PDT

    Northeast Ohio

    As a teen, the father of some of my sister's friends used to let a bunch of teens come over and get drunk/high at his house. He would get the young girls drunk and rape/sexually assault them. All told, about 9 girls were victimized, but only 4 were comfortable coming forward — my sister was one of them.

    It's been over a decade since all of this happened and in that time I've woken to the sound of my sister's blood-curdling screams in her sleep as she had nightmares about this man.

    His family maintains that he's innocent and refuse to believe the many women who have accused him. For years now, every so often, one of his family members will contact my sister asking her to recant her statement, telling her they "forgive her for lying," lying to her that their father is dying from cancer to try to garner sympathy — this has happened many times through many different communication channels. They are still trying to get him out of prison, and their latest attempt includes a person who is "advocating" for his release posting videos online calling out my sister and his other victims BY NAME and slandering their characters to try to discredit them.

    I'm sick of feeling like there's nothing we can do to put this whole terrible thing to rest, and to protect my sister from the harassment of his family. I am desperate to know if there is anything we can do to make them stop.

    My (M34) wife’s (F37) father (M57) passed away and we suspect foul play. Can we talk to a detective or lawyer to start an investigation? Would it be worth our time or money?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 09:51 AM PDT

    Posting on behalf of my wife:

    "My father has been sick for a long time, he married a lady he met on the internet from the Philippines. They met up in Australia for their first interaction and the wedding. Only staying there just a week and they both went back to their homes in there own countries. They've been married for 1 1/2 years but she just got to America 4 months ago and his health declined rapidly and he died on Sunday. He wasn't eating or drinking and vomiting for 5-6 days, she never called the hospital to ask advice or to seek help.

    My brother went over there to check in on him and seen him laying in bed very frail, and had bed sores. My brother took him to the ER on last Tuesday and he died on Sunday. She refuses to get an autopsy which the entire family wants. She is acting really suspicious now only concerned about the insurance money she's getting. She doesn't want to pay for his funeral, and says my dad would want her to have it all to live on the rest of her life.

    Is there anyway we can go about having a autopsy or a toxicology screening if we suspect foul play? The hospital is telling us we can't order it, only she can. Can we talk to a lawyer or detective to find out if there has been any foul play? Everything about this is suspicious to us. I know we are in pain and may just be looking for someone to blame, but is there anything we can do?"

    A company broke my trailer when they moved it without my permission (Ohio)

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:05 AM PDT

    My neighbors are having work done on their home, and I have a two car driveway, one car garage. The driveway buts up to our property line, but my trailer never sits on their property, I always make sure it is on my property. The trailer itself is old, and has had issues with the tongue jack in the past. As long as it is just sitting, it is okay, but if you try and move it, it can collapse without warning. I don't move it without it being hitched on my car, and no one should be moving it other than me, so I never worried about this. My neighbors had previously mentioned this work being done, and asked if I would be willing to move my trailer if needed, and I said of course, just let me know when it needs moved and I will move it. It's important to note too, that I cannot move my trailer myself, it takes 2+ people if you're not using a car, it has a trailer hitch lock on it, and a circular wheel chock that makes it pretty much impossible to move alone as there is no moving this chock unless you connect the trailer to a hitch, and bring up the tongue jack. But, I can see two able bodied men being able to move it no problem, despite all this.

    My neighbors were not home when this happened, but I had been outside previously in the day, as I was doing yard work, and working in the garage, and then called it a day. I decided to go to the store, opened my garage, and my trailer is sitting in front of my garage with this companies work truck backed up over the part of my driveway it usually sits on, between my neighbors house and mine. So I couldn't leave, and this company knew I was home, as they had seen me all day. I went around back and asked them why my trailer had been moved without my permission. They told me my neighbors said it was okay to move it, which I rebutted that my neighbors probably meant it was okay for them to ask me if it could be moved, and that it's not okay to move someones property without permission. I mentioned that they knew I was home, and they had no clue if I had children I needed to pick up, an emergency I might have to go to, or a job. They apologized, and offered to move it, to which I said no, it's fine, I don't absolutely need to leave now, but it needs moved back after they were finished, since I cannot without my car, which I can't get out of the garage now.

    My neighbors have not come home yet, but we get along and I cannot see them okaying a company to move my property without my permission, especially since I told them if I was asked I would move the trailer for them, I would've gladly moved it and parked my car in the road so I could still leave if needed. I'm 100% sure the company took them saying it can be moved as the company can move it, instead of my neighbors meaning to go knock on my door and ask me.

    Well, they put it back and left last night. I went outside to bring out my trash, and my tongue jack is broken. It is slumped forward and will no longer go up, which is probably due to being dragged across concrete. I do not have insurance on this trailer, but it was also moved without my permission by a company that wasn't doing work on my property. I'd like it fixed, but when I called the company they denied any responsibility and claimed it was like that when they moved it, when I know for a fact, it was not slumped forward, it was sitting normally. What type of recourse do I have here?

    Mom's boyfriend filed a fake business on his tax return and now the IRS wants the income tax for it

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 03:32 AM PDT

    Pretty much the title. His dad convinced him that the government was fake and he filed a false business on his tax return. IRS sent a letter in July asking for the income tax return on the business and there's zero income to be filed. Is there any way he can get out of this with minimal repercussions? He's located in northeast Tennessee.

    Edit: So after a little more questioning, he said the business was originally filed 3 years ago, nothing has ever been done to it, and it's location is in South America.

    Biological Father (40 M) is threatening to sue my mom (41 F) and I (14 F) for my kidney

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:37 PM PDT

    I am a fourteen year old female who lives in Tennessee with my step father, younger half sister, step sister, and bio mom. while my bio dad lives in Virginia with my Stepmom and baby half brother who is about three years old. I haven't seen my dad in almost a year due to me and him getting in an argument and I refused to watch my baby brother while him and my stepmom left for hours, sometimes overnight. However, recently my baby brother is sick (needs a kidney) and I could be a match. Of course I would help him, so I did get tested and I'm a match. I was ready to do it, but I was talking with my grandmother and started to think about it and apparently, my family has always had kidney issues and it would be dangerous for me. So I decided to not go through with it, mainly because of the possible health issues.

    Now my dad is very angry and he called me, saying that I would be killing my brother. When that didn't work because he was on a list and it was possible that he could match up with someone on there. So he went to saying that he will be suing my mom and I for the kidney plus medical expenses if I didn't agree. I hung up and now I'm scared. My mom is extremely ill and he's taken her to court, which has made her even more sick and anxious after I didn't do things that he wanted me to do. (Locked me in a room and forced me to quit all of my extracurricular activities so I could see him more) I now am really scared and I wonder, can he do this? Also my mom has primary custody.

    Landlord asking for rent for my mothers restaurant(inside of a mall) for the two months he had the entire building closed because of COVID

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 12:58 PM PDT

    We are in Michigan. As the title says, he is asking for rent for 2 months that he had the entire building closed because of COVID. We are located inside of a small shopping mall. Some people ended up closing their businesses inside of the mall due to not having enough funds for the rent he's asking for. Is he allowed to do this?? We're not sure what to do.

    What are the laws regarding unlawful contact with a minor in Pennsylvania/USA in general?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 09:05 AM PDT

    I'm an admin on a minecraft server and whilst looking through server logs noticed that a player who we know is 24/25 years old, talking in an inappropriate way with a girl who we know is 14. It was just a one off, not too bad remark, but I decided to look more in to his logs and BOY did I find some inappropriate stuff. He talks to multiple underage girls on the server inappropriately, and I have no found out he sent a blurred picture of his dick to a 14 year old on the server. He apparently scribbled over his dick in editing so you couldn't see it, but still.

    What are the laws against this behaviour? Ideally I could do with specific things so that when I talk to him I can give him specific laws regarding what he's doing.

    He lives near Pittsburgh and is 24/25, and these girls live in Belgium, Netherlands, or Austria and are all 16 or under.

    I was bitten by a pitbull in New York State

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 09:58 AM PDT

    So about a month ago I was in my backyard with my pet beagle who was on leash. I wasn't even near the sidewalk or front of the house.

    This unleashed huge pitbull enters my backyard and immediately jumps on my dog. I couldn't get it off. I was also bit and was bleeding all over. My dog was bleeding and had to be rushed to ER. My wound was covered and cleaned at an urgent care. My dog had to be sutured and stitched up. It's a miracle she survived. I called 911 when this happened. Have the police report and took pictures of the injuries, the blood all over my house etc. I also have vet bills.

    I contacted a lawyer. The people who own the pitbull are renters. They don't have insurance. It was in their lease that the renters must get renters insurance but they never did and the landlord never checked to confirm.

    My lawyer says I can get the landlords insurance to pay only if I could prove she knew the dog was dangerous. Which is hard to do.

    I just can't understand how my dog and me can be mauled in the backyard and I am stuck with the bill.

    Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

    My parked car was hit, (42k$)damage + ($40k) LOU, at fault party has 5k policy limit.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:31 AM PDT

    Hello,

    Last November, my parked car on a residential street was hit by a speeding (and possibly drunk) driver. Police didn't come to the scene as nobody was injured. He obviously admitted fault and his insurance (Progressive) as well admitted 100% fault for the incident.

    My car was a 2019 BMW M4 with a new value of around 87k before tax, and I would estimate it was worth around 60-65k at the time of the accident. The initial damage was appraised to be ~15k, but as the repairs progressed the bill went up significantly to around 42k$ in damage. The other party's car was a 2014 Mercedes that i believe was a total loss.

    My comprehensive insurance (Geico) has already covered the full extent of the damages and my car has completed repairs. The repairs for my car took almost 5 months due to the extent of damage. I believe Geico is now pursuing subrogation against the at fault party's insurance.

    I contacted a professional appraiser, who has estimated a total LOU claim of 40k for this time period. While this does seem excessive, he pointed me to several cases where such large LOUs were upheld in court, and pointed me to a california statute that states that the LOU determination should be based on renting a car "of like kind and quality, made by the same manufacturer, of the same or newer model year, of the same model type, of a similar body type, with options and mileage similar to the insured vehicle". The cheapest rental i can find in my state for this car from a rental company is approx 300$ a day (before fees), which multiplied by the 134 days it took my car to be repaired, yields me a similar figure.

    Upon providing this evidence to Progressive, they have informed me that the at fault party's property damage maximum is the CA minimum (5k), and that is the maximum amount they can offer me. They were also dismissive of the number in my request, but could not provide any evidence to contradict the estimate i sent.

    What happens if i take this settlement? Am i then blocked from pursuing the at-fault party in court for the rest? Am i actually owed 40k in loss of use damages? Should i deny the settlement and pursue the party directly in small claims court for the small claims max (10k)? Should i look into getting a lawyer for a civil case? Should i just take the 5k as its unlikely for me to collect more? I just want to understand the full amount i am actually owed, how much i can expect to reasonably collect.

    One thing to note is that I have seen that the general rule of thumb on this forum is that if someone is underinsured they likely cant afford to pay any direct claims against them either. (Can't get blood from a stone). However, i have strong reasons to believe that this party can in fact afford to pay such an amount. (Multiple other 2018+ luxury cars on his policy, address pointing to $2m home, owns own business).

    Sellers knew about flooding and did not disclose during sale (NC, USA)

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:36 AM PDT

    Hey folks,

    We had pretty significant flooding last night and damage to our home as a result. We are not in a flood zone, so it was quite the shock. Our neighbors stopped us in the driveway while we were cleaning up this morning and told us that this happens any time there is a big storm or flash flood warning. They said the sellers knew about it and told them that they didn't have to disclose it to future buyers because they "didn't live here" -- the sellers were siblings that inherited from their parents and then rented it out for a few years before selling to my husband & I. So I guess technically they never lived in the home as adults.

    Did they have a legal obligation to tell us? It's very clear that they knew about the flooding due to repairs made to the exterior of the home that seemed like design choices when we bought, but suddenly make a lot of sense now.

    Apparently, our neighbors wrote a letter to the listing agent telling her about the flooding because they knew the siblings would not divulge it, and felt that future buyers needed to know. Did the listing agent have any obligation to tell us, even if the sellers did not?

    We are looking at upwards of $15,000 to repair the source of flooding. I have checked with the city-- it is personal property, not city property, and up to us to fix it. We're on the list for city assistance but were warned it could take years for our claim to be awarded assistance.

    Hit and run crashed into our parked cars and house... should I seek legal counsel?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:55 PM PDT

    Not sure if this is the right flair for a car accident, but a few days ago, while sitting at my desk I heard a horrible crash, followed by a second crash that knocked me out of my chair. Got up and realized a car had partially come through my wall. Looked out the window to see a driver had crashed into both of our parked cars, forcing one through the wall. And was also reversing and racing off.

    A good samaritan was in his car and followed the driver. They were caught and we were provided with their insurance information. Now that we're beginning the claims process, I'm wondering if it would be wise to secure an attorney, what type of law this even falls under, and if we can go after the driver for more than the basic insurance coverage. We have video of the crash. Here in CA it's definitely illegal to leave the scene of the accident, and now we have hours/days/weeks/months of our time and mental health committed to an unexpected major home renovation. My vehicle is also likely a total loss, my partner's will need repairs.

    Physical harm wasn't really an issue, thankfully, though can't say the same for mental/emotional harm. I believe this qualifies as a vehicle code 20002 misdemeanor. Frankly, I think this person should not even be on the road. I don't even know if the driver was impaired but the good samaritan said driver came from the liquor store. So I guess I want to know what my options are. Or if basically once insurance has paid out repairs, is that the best outcome?

    Quiet Enjoyment when Renting a Room. Landlord has shown up 7 times now with no warning.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:07 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I'm a student in Los Angeles and I am currently paying rent for a room in a 4 room townhouse. I have two other friends in the 2 other units and 1 unit is vacant.

    Our landlord has shown up to the place 7 times ringing the doorbell with no prior/24 hour warning for random reasons. I was wondering if we still have the right of quiet enjoyment and fall under the 24-hour notice since the 4th room is vacant (we are not paying rent for that room since each room has a separate rent).

    Thanks!

    Boss is making remarks and implying very heavily that I (M) am a creep/child watcher/pedo.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 12:59 PM PDT

    So I live in AZ and I work for a fairly decent sized franchise that to my understanding doesn't have an HR department. My boss has started making remarks that I like to watch children and has even said something to a woman I work with about me watching her children. I'm close enough to this woman that she knows it's not true and has reassured me not to worry about it and that she doesn't believe my boss because shes seen me around her kids and I dont do anything of such nature. Now I was going to wait to talk to the owner since they are supposed to be by sometime this month (out of state owner) but she made a remark today about changekmg her kid in another room because she doesn't want SOMEONE to see her daughter's little butt. Shes never changed her kid in front of anyone and has made it a point to say this. What do I do? Should I file some sort of charge or idk something? Idk what to do but I cant let her keep doing this because the only one that's going to get screwed over is me. It doesn't matter that what shes saying isnt true, all it takes is one person who believes her to ruin my life. Please help.

    Apologies for any confusion. Writing this on my phone in bathroom as quick as I can because I dont want to get into trouble here at work.

    Edit to add location.

    US-MN Someone dumped an entire household worth of items in my front yard - what now?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:34 PM PDT

    I am currently in the process of selling my house and am supposed to close this Thursday 9/3. Late last night, a woman brought 5 pickup truck loads of household stuff to my house. This includes garbage bags of clothes and other crap, a washing machine, a bed, two dressers and various other furniture and belongings.

    My neighbors saw them and initially assumed it was new owners of my house so they went to introduce themselves. A guy told them they didn't buy the house, but rather this is his sister's soon-to-be-ex-husband's stuff and they are dropping it off because my house belongs to the woman that the ex is sleeping with. (I'm a man and don't know those people).

    My neighbors called me but they had left by the time I got there and haven't shown up again. But the camera caught them bringing 5 pickup loads worth so we are talking about a LOT of stuff.

    I have some very crappy video of them and their vehicle in the dark, but unfortunately the vehicle has no plates.

    I have reported this to the police but they said it's a civil issue and they can't give me any advice.

    Since we are set to close Thursday, I absolutely must get this crap out of my yard tomorrow by noon because that is when we have the final walk-through. The purchase of my new house is contingent on my current house selling, can't delay.

    My problem is: what can I, legally, do with it? Can I haul it to the dump? Do I have some obligation to pay for a storage unit to put all this stuff in?

    TSA Firearms fine received - 26 months later.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 07:24 AM PDT

    Background: In June 2018 I travelled Utah to North Carolina on a family vacation.

    I travelled with a checked firearm case. One handgun, two magazines for checking concealed carry.

    At salt lake international, my case was opened, inspected, and x-rayed with no issue. The handgun was packed, full magazine inserted, not loaded. The TSA rep and police officer both approved, had me sign the card which goes in the case and locked it back up for travel.

    Travelling to from NC to UT I again checked everything at the airport, firearm inspected, closed, signed and locked.

    I got to my terminal, and was eating lunch when I was approached by 3 police. They escourted me back through security to the ticket desk where 6 TSA agents were waiting.

    They had my bag, they opened it, asked for keys to my gun case and opened it as well. They dropped the magazine and informed me that this constitutes a loaded firearm. No round in the chamber.

    I was informed by the TSA rep that the handgun must me locked in a case but that the magazine and ammunition can be loose in your bag, which after taking pictures and documenting is how they repacked my bag.

    I was informed that withing 30 days I would receive a letter with info on whether or not I would be fined or prosecuted. Even though I retained my firearm and was allowed to catch my flight.

    No letter or fine came in over two years. But yesterday I received a letter from the TSA that based on the incident I owed a $755 fine.

    My questions are regarding the timing of the fine, I can't believe this is coming on over two years later and also of j have recourse due to conflicting information from multiple TSA and law enforcement representatives.

    Any advice would be highly appreciated. I still have not got an official definition from the TSA as to what constitutes a loaded firearm as it appears to be differing based on who I talk to and I'm getting a lot of, "You'll be fine if you do x, y, and z."

    If I apply for a mail in ballot, can I choose not to fill it out and vote in person instead, or would that be voter fraud?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:15 AM PDT

    Im a student in Virginia and so I applied for a mail in ballot. However, I'm close enough to my voter location that I could theoretically take the day to drive home and vote. Would it be legal for me to do so after having requested an absentee ballot if I choose not to fill in the absentee ballot and only to vote in person?

    [California] Landlord gave me a 24 hour notice of apartment entry that lasts a month long

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 09:12 PM PDT

    I live in an apartment and the landlord gave me and everyone else a 24 hour entry notice that spans from August 26th to September 25th (Mon-Sat 9am - 6pm). The notice is for staff to do some inspection and cleaning. So my question is that is it legal to have a month long notice?

    Recently filed for a trademark, now that it's gone live, I'm getting letters from attorneys insisting I hire them to handle the rest of the process. Is this really necessary?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:21 AM PDT

    I filed for a trademark back in July. It's just gone live on the USPTO website. The process is still being finalized because I'm listed as the "applicant" and not "registrant". Yesterday in the mail, I received a letter from what appeared to be a scam company letting me know they would handle all matters from here for a sum of roughly $1300... I laughed and threw the papers away.

    However, I just got an email from an attorney's office stating that I should list them as my attorney so they can "work with the trademark examining attorneys to help your application move to being registered and not miss any important due dates".

    I understand trademark law can get a bit complicated as I read thoroughly when I filed the application. It seems many people opt to hire one when filing because the application can be confusing - which is why I did a lot of research and made sure my responses were accurate prior to filing (I didn't exactly have money for the filing fee AND an attorney). But being reached out to by two individuals now makes me concerned that I should have really hired someone.

    Won't the trademark office just request more information or forms from here on out? What exactly more could a lawyer do for me? I understand the process of assessing my application periodically on the TSDR system to see if there's anything I need to update

    Constant illegal dumping on property - HOA refuses to address it (CO)

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:27 AM PDT

    I live in a townhome community with an HOA. People on a weekly basis continue to illegally dump their furniture on the trash pickup side of the road (in front of my home). Obviously, trash pickup will not take it. It sits out there for weeks at a time.

    I'm sympathetic to the HOA as they cannot hold anyone accountable unless they know who does it. With over 200 townhomes on the property and even having video footage, it's impossible to know from which residence these people come from. It's different each time. There have been constant complaints to the HOA from multiple residents and they keep saying "They'll remove it at a fee from the association," but they never do - furniture sits out there for upwards to 2-3 weeks and eventually some passerby picks it up or a frustrated resident pays $100 to have it removed.

    I'm attempting to sell my townhouse. It's trash day, and 2 mattresses were dumped again. I've contacted the HOA again as well the city this time - what more can I do?

    Ex moved 2+ hours away, refuses to take son to school bc of distance and threatens to keep him in new town

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 08:40 AM PDT

    We have split 50/50 custody. We agreed 3 years ago to put him in his current school district because it's the best in the state. So we bought a house. At the time she lived 30 minutes away. For various reasons (I'll get more into detail if need be) she has decided/been forced to leave that city and move back in with her parents- over two hours away. The problem now is, that she's not wanting to drive the distance to take him to school so has stopped taking him to school on Tuesdays (only in person learning on Tuesday/Wednesday, the other days are remote) and is only taking him on Wednesday's as I start my parenting time on Wednesday's after school. When I told her it was not acceptable for him to be missing school (since he only has it twice a week, and has expressed a huge desire to still see his friends, and I worry about his mental health) she said that she would just keep him in new city then and re-enroll him there. We both agreed on the hybrid in-person schooling before this. Also her move was only supposed to be temporary through summer and she said she was moving back for the school year.

    I guess my question is, what can I do if she doesn't return him tomorrow, per our order? Do I go out there with police and the court order? Is that overkill? And what can I do about him missing school? Sorry this post is all over the place, I'm constantly dealing with her as she is high conflict, and I just want what's best for my son.

    A funeral home is saying stuff wasn't paid for, but we have receipts and proof of purchase from a year ago. Where do we go from here

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:52 PM PDT

    Florida. My girlfriend's family lost someone recently and the entirety of the family has pre bought plots, scrolls, services, etc. Last year they lost another close family member whose plot, etc was also pre purchased. The funeral home they deal with is a cemetery as well and upon the last death they made excuses like ' oh you bought the wrong one/ oh we don't sell that anymore / you'll need a new one as the old one isn't as nice anymore'. Complete horse shit answers to be honest and in their immense grief her family just paid out again and pushed through. This time however is a bit less extreme as it was a much older family member and the funeral home is claiming the same stuff. My girlfriend's family has a printed and virtual copy of the contract and receipt of pre purchased plot, scroll, casket etc and the funeral home is saying none of that counts and they will have to buy it all over again. I'm beyond enraged as looking over the contracts everything seems above board and like it's everything they say we need to purchase again.

    Should we laywer up immediately? Should I contact the BBB? Do I ask the police to look into fraud charges?

    Just point me in the best direction to get this started. I'm beyond livid and want these mortuary fucks to honor their previous sales.

    Landlord charging for water damage due to their washing machine's supply line breaking.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    My previous landlord sent me a written notice stating that my roommates and I are liable for water damage caused to the house due to the line of the washing machine breaking. The guy from the property management company said that the line broke due to the washer machine being overloaded. I cannot attest to that as I was out of town during the incident and my previous roommate was the one who was home when the flood happened. Apparently it was a comforter that broke the machine.

    The lease itself does not say anything about washer misuse, however a separate document that my roommates and I signed called "Landlord's rules and regulations" says the following:

    Residents are expected to have working knowledge of all supplied appliances (stove, oven, dishwasher, washer, dryer, vacuum, garbage disposal, water heaters, breakers, heating and cooling systems). Misuse will result in tenant charges.

    This happened in the state of Texas, does anyone have any advice?

    No renters insurance.

    Leave for only employees with children

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:15 AM PDT

    Is it legal for a company to offer unpaid leave to only employees with children? Not maternity/paternity leave. This is a bank of time offered only to employees with children to attend teacher conferences.

    EDIT: Location: Minnesota

    Thanks
