| Just got wisdom teeth out parents took prescribed drugs Posted: 30 Oct 2020 11:50 AM PDT I M(18) got my wisdom teeth removed several hours before this post, my parents drove me to and from where I had the surgery And they also took me and got my meds for me. I was going through my medicine at my apartment to make sure I could separate it out in doses when I realized I was missing the hydrocodone. I texted my dad asking if he had left it at their house and he told me "I have it. It is a controlled substance. Only when needed," and they are refusing to give it back. This is concerning to me for multiple reasons, they live about 20 minutes away from me and I can imagine in an emergency situation where I will need it, the pain would only get worse with time, they also both work full time jobs, what do I do?

| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 08:26 AM PDT Providers staff the COVID testing tent and are given an N-95, face shield, gloves, and gown. Testing has recently been switched to self-swab (nasal) from nasopharyngeal swab testing which was being administered by the provider. CNAs assigned to assist the providers are given a surgical mask (along with face shield, gloves, and gown) and instructed to stay at least 6 feet from the patients. In the clinic parking lot there is also a tent to see hypertension and diabetic patients from. There is a 3rd set of tents (one covered and attached to a drive through tent) that nurses are giving flu shots from. When staff was informed of the drive through flu clinic, we were told (in writing) that it would it would be staffed by a nurse (separate from the in-clinic nurse) and CNA. A supply bin was provided - stocked with the necessary items to facilitate the drive through flu clinic. It's a huge (heavy) plastic bin that has 2 wheels and a very short handle. It is not easily transported. Almost two months have gone by and I am still the only nurse being scheduled at the clinic. I am being expected to act as both in-clinic nurse and drive through flu nurse. The providers often have tasks which need to be completed by the RN inside the clinic and there are appointment slots for nurse visits as well (pregnancy tests, STD treatments, birth control administration, etc). Since we are so short staffed, I am also working without a CNA. We were instructed not to leave the supplies unattended in the tent so I've been having to pack up everything into the supply bin and bring it inside each time I am needed in-clinic. This (along with giving injections at inappropriate heights) has been putting me at increased risk for back injury. I suffer from scoliosis and bilateral winged scapula, so my back has been in extreme pain due to my current workload. We were recently provided with a laptop and cell phone to add to the flu tent supply bin. The supervisors directed the RNs to make patient calls from the flu tent (outside in the parking lot) between flu shots... Shortly afterwards, we were informed that quotas must be met for patient phone calls (60 calls for a 12 hour shift, 40 for an 8 hour shift, etc). If the quota is not met we must work additional hours until we've made all the required calls. The weather has been getting cold and no heater has been provided for the flu tent yet. We were instructed to "dress appropriately" to work outside. After working a couple of shifts in cold weather I've decided to see patients inside for flu shots (with the permission of my supervisors) since the one surgical mask we are given daily gets soaked from condensation and snot due to the temperature, wind blows my supplies/patient health info around, and any exposed skin becomes numb/pained. Patients who are scheduled for COVID testing regularly pull into the flu tent drive through, asking where to go for their test. Since the clinic is located near a busy road I often need to move closer to the patients to hear them. Daily, multiple patients who have been tested are coming into the clinic to pick up their negative COVID results (because they were directed to by the call center staff?) although they were exposed or symptomatic just days ago. The results are supposed to be mailed out by a specific department, no changes in this protocol have been communicated to the staff. Contact tracing is not being conducted for employees; when a staff member tests positive for COVID, those who were exposed to this person are not notified by HR so they can quarantine per CDC guidelines. These issues are putting the employees' lives at risk, as well as their friends and loved ones. The patients are being put at risk too since they are in contact with the employees. I have sent several emails to my supervisors regarding my concerns. None of the emails have been acknowledged or responded to. Not even a "thanks for the email, we'll look into this." Is there anything that can be done on my part to improve the situation at my workplace despite the complete mismanagement? Are there laws being broken or employee rights being neglected? At the very least, the company's management is behaving in a dangerously unethical and unprofessional manner during a pandemic. It's becoming beyond frustrating to work in this environment. Any input and advice would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 05:20 AM PDT My relationship with my daughter is pretty strained. however, I still pay for a part of her university, living expenses and I let her live rent free (!!!) in my apartment in another city. The problem is that I lost my job at the beginning of the pandemic and this apartment has expensive fees (just last month the building asked me for $8,000 to fix windows). Plus I'm still paying mortgage and I'm not getting rent from this apartment. I just can't afford it anymore. So I've decided to sell it but my daughter absolutely refuses to move out stating that she'll sue me and take me to court. She says she has a legal agreement (she doesn't). Here's what she's referring to: she's been living there for two years and for the first year she had a roommate. In the roommate's lease agreement I put down my daughter as a resident. She's referring to this. But the roommate's lease ended a year ago and I have never signed any type of document or agreement with my daughter. So my question is how do I legally move her out? Is she considered a tenant? Do I need to give her an eviction notice? How do I just go about the whole process? This is Ontario by the way and thank you in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Girlfriend's employer super shitty about cancer treatment. Posted: 30 Oct 2020 11:06 AM PDT [IL] So my girlfriend is a breast cancer survivor. She's also BRCA positive which (briefly put) is a hereditary gene that increases the likelihood of some cancers. Her mom, aunt, and cousin all died of cancer. She is the only survivor. She caught it early on last summer. She underwent chemo, followed by a full mastectomy with temporary spacers placed in. This August (after confirmed remission), she underwent surgery again to have the spacers replaced with implants. This, combined with handfuls of consultations and follow ups, has required extensive time off work, but for very important reasons. And she's not done. The BRCA gene makes it 85% likely that she will get ovarian cancer, and so the preventative recommendation is a full hysterectomy. She's only 33, and you can also imagine the implications and emotional stress this continues to have on her. She is scheduled for this surgery at the beginning of December and it will be the most invasive one, requiring 3 weeks off work, among many other restrictions. She works in a veterinary office, and the majority of her coworkers have been very supportive and have made adjustments to accommodate all of her procedures and treatments. But her boss regularly makes her feel guilty about her absences and has been denying certain things. She recently denied my girlfriend an actual vacation-vacation. My girlfriend wanted to go with her dad to Alaska to visit family and her boss told her no, saying, "Everyone around here has made sacrifices for you," resulting in my girlfriend crying to me that she didn't choose to have cancer. (She's right.) While that part is shitty but perfectly legal, now the boss is demanding to know the exact days she will be gone for the hysterectomy. Surgery is on the 3rd, but last time (and for most people), they required a COVID test and isolation beforehand. These things are scheduled last minute and my girlfriend can't give an accurate last day. Additionally, while 3 weeks is the SUGGESTED recovery period, it again depends on her actual condition. Her boss is demanding that to know exactly when she'll be gone and that she be back by a certain date, saying that she needs her and this business has suffered because of the sacrifices everyone is making to make up for her. My girlfriend's stressed to her limit. The business is too small to qualify for FMLA, but looking on their website, it says things may be covered by state or local regulations. Is there anything we can use to get her boss off her back, stop the bullying, and protect her job if things get ugly? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |

| Am I being extorted in this divorce? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 08:11 AM PDT Thank you in advance for reading. I am in the process of divorcing my wife, who initially made an offer that was absolutely absurd and would leave me with nothing. Our assets are about equal, and with the pandemic my business has pretty much closed so my income is non-existent. My lawyer had drawn up my financial affidavit honestly, but her affidavit is very much fudged. She has cash hidden around the house and foreign accounts she's not listing (under a different name). I don't want to get dirty, though, I just want the divorce to go through and move on with my life. I don't mind paying maintenance or whatever she needs. I just want a fair process. Here's the problem: she knows that in my business, it's customary to offer (illegal) kickbacks. It's an unspoken secret, everyone does it except the local government contracts and only because they got caught a couple years back and had to stop. Anyway, she threatened to tell some of my contracts that she knows and will go to the authorities unless they motivate me to "work with her" in this divorce--in other words, hand over pretty much all of my assets, leaving me with just my business making nothing right now and losing my business contacts because no one will want to work with me after she threatens people. I know this is technically extortion, except for the fact that she wouldn't be accusing me without basis. She hasn't said anything yet about this, but she also knows about another practice in the business, hiring undocumented people. I have known my employees for years and they rely on this work--I pay them above-market because it's hard to find people with their skills and because they have young families. My lawyer doesn't believe she'd actually do it, but she would. She definitely has some mental health issues. The entire divorce is based on her thinking I was having an affair (we live in a no-fault state). I was not and have never, but it got to the point where she would follow me to work and call around asking about me and I could not live with the distrust. No children, thank god. At the end of the day, I would pay her off to protect my contacts and employees from harm here. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Practice Manager "lost" $3k meant for hospital surgery scheduling, and now we have to pay it again Posted: 30 Oct 2020 11:58 AM PDT Hello all. My boyfriend is having reconstructive surgery roughly a week from now. It was a fight getting insurance to cover it, but eventually went through and the cost got cut down. He's scheduling it through a private practice and we had an agreement with the practice that he would pay them and they would pay the hospital upon scheduling the surgery in the OR. The total came out to $2750, and we paid it to the practice manager (D) about a week or so ago. We were over the moon - him especially. This is a surgery that will greatly improve his physical quality of life and his mental health; we've been waiting for it for years, and he didn't expect to be able to get it for another four at least. To have it happen so soon is a feeling I expect he can't really put into words. Yesterday, however the hospital called. They told him that the money never went through, and, since the surgery was scheduled, he now owes them $2750. He had a panic attack - and another this morning. We're not that well off - both of us are young and just starting our own lives (he's living with his parents and doing work studies/part time jobs to help support his family and his bachelor's degree) and I only recently started a new job so don't have much in savings. That $2750 was all of his savings, and now it's just gone. His parents have come forward and said they'll help pay (pay it in full probably), but that's just as terrible. They make less than I do put together and have three other kids to feed. I've offered to help pay and send him the money several times, but he's only taking that as a last resort. What can/should we do, if anything? The practice manager, D, admitted fault to him over the phone, but didn't clarify what it was or where the hell his money went. It's unacceptable. This is in Atlanta, Georgia by the way, and it is not the first issue he's had with D. D has just been generally incompetent and unhelpful through the whole scheduling process (including failing to schedule the surgery even after four verbal confirmations). Any advice appreciated, thank y'all so much! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 03:44 PM PDT What can I do? Here's the quick facts.
Do I have any legal rebuttal here? Is there anything I can do to protest and extend this so I can stay there through my lease? If not, do I have to pay November rent? Is there any financial implications they should have for breaking the lease? My deposit was the "last month" rent. The notice also stated that they would need me out for 4 hours next week for an inspection and then another time the following week. Do I have to allow this? I tried to make this as concise as possible. I realize I actually may have no legal recourse but this does not feel right and well...I'm pissed. Thanks in advance for the help. Edit: In the lease this is the only thing listed as a 'Grounds for Termination of Tenancy' Clause: "The failure of Tenant or Tenants guests or invitees to comply with any terms of this agreement, or the misrepresentation of material fact on Tenants application, is grounds for termination of tenancy, with appropriate notice to Tenant and procedures as required by law."

| I got subpoenaed for a court date in Canada, I’m not in Canada or Canadian, how does this work? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 02:59 AM PDT For more details, I lived in Canada for 4 years and in that time a close friend of mine was sexually assaulted. She came to me after she got away at 2am, I heard it all from her first then her dad came and picked her up (she was around 23 but living with parents) Anyway, she takes it to the police and that's that. I move back to England, almost forgot about it, then moved to South Korea. Two days ago I got a subpoena in my inbox. They said I might need to show up, and they will fly me out if I do. But what action do they have to serve this when I'm not Canadian or living in the country? I'm just curious how that works. I have every intention of helping my friend and showing up if I need to, I was just curious on the details that the detective didn't fully answer. Is the subpoena still in use despite all of this?

| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 10:29 AM PDT Edit: https://imgur.com/a/HEUvFlc MS paint diagram of layout I'm in a suburb of Chicago. My neighbor has a garage on the back half of his plot, right next to the fence that divides our properties. My house sits closer to the street, and my garage is in the front. Neighbor installed a camera on the side of his garage. He says it's because he's worried about getting water in his garage because of landscaping that we did over the summer. We put in drain tile all along that fence, which he says he didn't realize and at point he said that made him feel better, but the camera remains. The camera is up under the gutter on the side of the garage, so it's sitting about 1.5-2 feet above the fence line and it looks like it can see not only my entire back yard and patio, but also right into the windows on the rear side of my house which is our living room. When I've looked at the camera close up it looks like it's aimed down, but 1) I assume it was a relatively wide field of vision and 2) I assume he can move the camera with software since almost all modern cameras have that technology now. When I open the blinds in my living room it's just right there and is totally off-putting. We feel like we've lost any sense of privacy unless we shutter everything up like hermits. I've tried texting him recently and sent him the pic of the drain tile again. I asked if he'd move the camera below the fence line. He said he already drilled the lines and ran the cables, and the camera is placed under the gutter to protect it from rain. I asked to him to just please, please consider it and I offered to pay for a professional company to come out and relocate the camera and fix his garage/siding so it was like new. I haven't pressed him any more after that last request for consideration. I plan on waiting a little while and then asking him again, please just out of decency will he move the thing, or will he move it after April if he doesn't get any water problems. However, I'd like to know if I have ANY OPTIONS if he just digs in. I had put up a lattice the same day that he put up the camera, but the city made me take it down because I didn't get a permit. I am going to contact them to see if I can a permit or exception, or something, but I'm not super optimistic. The way the lens and housing is dark you really can't tell where this camera is pointed and it seems like a crazy invasion of privacy to be able to put a security camera on the side of your house and aim it in a way that the interior of someone's home was plainly in view. I don't know where to start since the city has basically said the don't have any rules or regulations on cameras. I appreciate any advice. EDIT: And I should say, I don't really think this guy is sitting in house and watching us watch Netflix. It's not I think he's necessarily creeping out us, it's just that having a security camera pointed at you like that in your own home just eliminates any sense of privacy, and it seems like one would be entitled to that in their own home. I shouldn't have to run out back and check to see where the pinhole of the camera is aimed to be sure that I'm not under surveillance, you know what I mean? [link] [comments]  |
| Detective is repeatedly trying to contact me about a gig I posted on Craigslist [Pennsylvania] Posted: 30 Oct 2020 01:58 PM PDT So I don't know if I should take this seriously and I could seriously use some advice. A few days before the protests in Philadelphia I posted an ad on Craigslist asking for videographers to help me with a project I'm working on. I also posted this in a few other places that aren't quite as public. I got a couple of responses and was following up with one of them when suddenly I started getting flooded with angry incoherent emails accusing me of a bizarre variety of criminal activities. It turns out some conspiracy theorists found my Craigslist post and put it all over their social media claiming it was proof that everything going on in Philly was staged and I was recruiting people to riot for money. That is completely false. I updated the posts to clarify it had nothing to do with that, but it did nothing to stop the flood of emails. So I deleted it. I thought that would be it, but somehow I've been identified and I'm getting voicemails from a person claiming to be a police detective. He wants me to meet with him and explain the details of what I'm working on to "clear things up". On top of that, my security camera picked up two men I don't know knocking on my door while I was out. They didn't leave anything but they knocked for several minutes. What do I do? I feel like you would have to be willfully trying to misunderstand what I wrote to believe it had something to do with recruiting rioters, but I also don't think it's ever a good idea to talk to the cops. What do I do if they come back? Do I have an obligation to return these messages? Is this serious enough to get legal help? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:17 PM PDT I am an administrator contracted with a non-profit in California. They owed me $2,166 in July and owe another $2,166 in January 2021. I have a contract with them and it has been honored for the past two years. They are now claiming that I was overpaid in 2019 and this year. They are refusing to pay what I am owed and allege that I have been overpaid for 2-years and will work for free to pay of this alleged debt. They acted like this was a gift and that otherwise they would demand thousands of dollars back?? WTF! 10 days ago I submitted bank records with copies of all checks I have received with a copy of my contract to prove that I am owed and got no response. What can I do? This is wrecking my finances and I feel so used. Also worried that they will tax me for money I never saw. Small Claims Court? [link] [comments]  |
| Private business asking me to prove my immigration status? Am I being discriminated? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 01:51 PM PDT Using a throwaway account to get /r/legaladvice advice. I recently attempted to rent a car through a major car rental chain (location: Philadelphia, PA). I currently hold a valid, unexpired Texas-state issued driver license but since I am on a not a US citizen, my license states "limited term license". At the rental counter, I was told in front of everyone that since it says a limited term, I need to prove that I am a legally documented immigrant in the US. I have been legally residing in the US over the last 10 years and have rented cars multiple times (even with the same rental company) but never have been asked to prove my legal immigration status after presenting this driver license. Even when I presented valid immigration documents, the branch manager refused to rent a car stating the document does not appear complete. I also noticed that she was googling on her phone how the green card or visa sticker looks like. Ultimately, I asked to discuss this further with higher authorities, but the branch manager indicated she has already checked with her supervisor and they won't be able to rent me the car. When I called directly to her supervisor, she indicated that the branch manager was incorrect and should be able to rent me a car with a valid, unexpired US driver license without asking any immigration paperwork. Subsequently, after intervention from the branch manager's supervisor, I was able to rent the car, but no apology was offered by the branch manager – not only I felt embarrassed and humiliated in front of everyone but also I wasted a significant amount of time at the rental counter. I also researched company's driver's license policy which indicates that "customers who reside in the US must present a valid, unexpired government issued driver's license" and does not indicate anything about requirements for immigration paperwork. My questions:
TL;DR: Reputed car rental agency refused to accept a valid, unexpired Texas-state issued driver license as a proof and asked for immigration paperwork. Even when appropriate immigration paperwork was presented, they refused to accept it. Am I being discriminated against based on immigration status and is that legally allowed for a private rental company? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 03:41 PM PDT To give a little background, my husband and I purchased our first home 10 months ago. The seller disclosed moisture damage in the crawl space of the home which she had remediated and hired a company to "encapsulate" the crawl space to prevent the issue from occurring again in the future. It turns out that the professionals she hired performed the encapsulation incorrectly and now my husband and I are faced with $50k worth of damages due to extreme water damage. We called the company and they stated that because the previous owner had let the warranty lapse, they cannot be held responsible for damages. However, this is not a maintenance issue, it is an issue of faulty and negligent work by the company. Does anyone know if my husband and I have any recourse? Is there any way that we can get them to pay for damages? Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Business blasts sound in my neighborhood, illegal? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 01:14 PM PDT I have a problem with a local pizza business in my neighborhood. Since the start of the pandemic, they have been driving through my neighborhood blasting an advertisement for their pizza place through a loud speaker. It is not just a jingle like an ice cream truck, it includes vocals. It is quite loud, and very disturbing, especially to our numerous retirees here. I live in Los Angeles county, California. What are my options here? I have reported it to the local police on their website, but it their online report system seems to print directly into a trash can. I have video and photo evidence of the vehicle in our neighborhood. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 01:12 PM PDT So recently someone on Instagram asked me to be their sugar baby. I have no idea who they are but looking at their account they seem like legit person with friends and family. They said they won't ask for anything sexual, just a pretty girl to talk to. They're also double my age which is really weird but honestly I'm in a lot of debt and could use the money so I accepted the offer. Now they're discussing payment and they want to wire money to my bank; is this safe? I wanted to just use PayPal or something but he said he's been screwed over on apps before. I did some looking into it online and besides being a money mule I don't see any risks on my side? So just asking what should I positively not share and is there a way for him to like, fuck me over or something? This is so weird to me and I'm just trying to make sure I have all my bases covered aaaaa [link] [comments]  |
| Are employers allowed to have you followed after you let them know about a medical issue? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 01:09 PM PDT I was a courier at a major delivery company in upstate New York and I had told my boss that I had just gotten two hernias. I did not make a real claim. I was not going to. I didn't blame them and I just wanted to let them know what was going on. They then had people follow me on road everyday for weeks. I thought I was crazy at first but it was real. I found out that they were following me and taking pictures of me. I don't know why. I hadn't filed anything against them. I wasn't trying to get workers comp or anything else. They followed me at work and out of work in my personal vehicle. The manager took my phone one day without permission and went in their office with it. Don't know why. I ended up quiting because I felt threatened, now they are contesting my unemployment and I need to know if they have any ground. They deny all of this by the way... but they slipped up on certain details to me here and there accidentally which together prove it was them. Also they cut my hours and then denied me my "guarenteed pay" for the last two months. Which is guaranteed in my contract. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it illegal to withhold medication from your child. Posted: 29 Oct 2020 11:55 PM PDT My mother hides the prescription medicine that my brother is supposed to take once daily as prescribed by his doctor. She won't give it to him and is keeping him from taking it. Does this qualify as a case of medical neglect and if I got CPS involved how much could they do?

| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 08:33 AM PDT My fiancée, who I've been in a relationship with for the last six years, is (and has been) trying to complete a divorce with his estranged wife. They met while serving in the military in 2007, married soon thereafter, and have not seen each other since 2009. They never cohabitated at any point in their marriage as they were not stationed together. He was in California and she was in Texas. He has contacted her three times in the time that we've been together (and has had to track her down to contact her each time) to initiate divorce proceedings, she gives him her address etc, he files to have her served and poof she disappears again. We recently moved to Texas and he wants to divorce her. We have to wait to establish our residency requirement in Texas for him to do so, but, I began trying to track her down so that he can be prepared to file when our residency is finally established before she disappears into the ether again. I found that she has a youtube channel vlog that details her day-to-day life. I also discovered that she has, since their separation, given birth to two children. The oldest is around four and the youngest is under one year. Since they're married, and have never legally separated (yes, I realize that this is a stupid, boneheaded, lazy thing for him to have allowed to happen) are we going to have issues with presumptive paternity? I'm having nightmares about him suddenly being on the hook for years of back child support for two children that aren't his. I also am somewhat aware of the possibility that once she's been married to him for a certain amount of time she may be able to have access to some of his retirement. Is this something we've should be worried about? He hasn't seen her in eleven years. The father of her children is the man that she was having an affair with while stationed away from him. They were married in California, when they broke up he was living in California and she was residing in Texas. She is currently located in New Mexico and we are located in Texas. How best should we proceed with this in order to ensure that he doesn't get screwed over financially and in the most expedited manner? [link] [comments]  |
| Cannot lock apartment due to maintenance [Ohio] Posted: 30 Oct 2020 10:33 AM PDT Not too long ago a pipe burst in the hallway outside my apartment. long story short they have to do a lot of work to fix everything and there is a ~20ft long, 5ft deep hole in the hallway and it will take minimum 2 weeks to fix. I was told I cannot use the front door due to this, which makes sense, and that I'd have to use my patio door. The problem is I can't lock my patio door from the outside. So for the next 2 weeks I can't lock up my place any time I leave, which is pretty often. I don't live in the worst neighborhood, but it's also not the best. I'm wondering, if something happens, am I going to be liable? I don't know what to do [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 08:43 AM PDT We live in an appartment complex in Tennessee and back in april resigned a lease early to keep the same rent price we had the years before. The new management company did this to "help with covid" but they were really just afraid we'd all move. We of course have a copy of the new and old lease. Well every month so far they've charged us extra money. One time $1000 extra. It has never been the same amount of money, and every time we go in and tell them they say something like "oh woops we lost your lease" and we have to show them our copy. They then refund us a credit for next month, refuse to put the money back in our accounts or actually return it, and proceed to over charge us the next month as well. Im sick of this, and was wondering if them overcharging us would perhaps be ground for us to move out. They're obviously not upholding their end of the lease agreement, so why should we be required to? [link] [comments]  |
| HELP! My son died. No will (as far as I know)? Who do I talk to? What kind of attorney do I need? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 10:27 PM PDT Details: My 34 year old son died suddenly last week. He was single, but he has a six year old son. I'm next of kin enough to have handled his funeral arrangement, but now I'm in emotional & legal limbo. He owned a house, two vehicles, a motorcycle, and about a ton of random "stuff". How do I, as the only adult next of kin but not his heir, go about wrapping up his life? I know I need a lawyer, but what kind of lawyer? I seriously need help, like, yesterday! ETA: My son lived in Iowa; I live in Tennessee. This 700'ish mile difference is just another layer on this crap sandwich of loss I'm choking on 😥😥😥😭. Second edit: My son was a decorated Army veteran (14 yrs), & at time of death, was working as a military contractor. I know my grandson is eligible for both SSI & VA benefits. 🤦🏼♀️ SO MUCH to do 🤦🏼♀️. [link] [comments]  |
| Can I legally break a lease if the Landlord did not inform me of an HOA? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 08:07 PM PDT Hello! I live in California and signed a two-year lease with three roommates in July of 2019. Nowhere in the lease is it mentioned that the complex we live in is overseen by an HOA, and we were not informed of this by the Landlord. No copy of the HOA rules were ever provided to us and we never signed any HOA related contracts. We found out about the HOA because we received mail from them, but have never had a major problem and decided to let the issue lie. Apart from a request to replace an exterior lighting fixture (which we forwarded to our Landlord) and some annoyances involving parking, everything has been fine until recently. About a week ago we received notification from the HOA in the mail that they are switching security companies and changing/enforcing some rules in the complex, which were strict to begin with. These changes are untenable for us. These include no longer allowing any overnight guest parking, stringent rules regarding the licensing and registration of tenant vehicles (which is a problem for my roommate with an out-of-state license/registration), and garage inspections that are only available to be held while we are all at work. They also will not allow any plants on the balconies and restrict what is allowed on patios which are not visible from the street. Because we never agreed to the HOA rules in the first place as we were never informed of it's existence by the Landlord, we are heavily considering moving out before the end of the lease. Do we have any standing in terms of breaking the lease without repercussion? Thanks for taking the time to read/reply! [link] [comments]  |
