| Posted: 23 Nov 2021 04:31 PM PST So my buddy's mother lives with him and his wife ever since his dad passed away. Over the last few years she started to become forgetful, and sometimes forget where she is or what year it is. A doctor hasn't diagnosed her with dementia yet, but he has no doubt. The other day she was at the mall and somehow ended up buying $60,000 car with financing through the dealer. She doesn't remember buying the car and they're supposed to deliver in a few days. He goes to the doctor and the doctor diagnoses her with dementia, giving him power of attorney, can he avoid the sale? Apparently in contracts there's something called "capacity" that you need. If she didn't have it at the time, is it valid? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Nov 2021 04:11 PM PST My husband filed and when I was sent the waiver if service I pointed out the error. His lawyer said it was a typo but didn't matter in the long run. I however disagreed and said I would not agree to it if our marriage was listed falsely. I was just served and they did not change it. We live in Texas. Is this something they can do when it's a legal marriage and not a common law marriage? [link] [comments] |
| Upstairs neighbor keeps flooding our apartment Anything legal I can do Posted: 23 Nov 2021 07:05 PM PST Old lady who claims she "forgets" that the water is running in her tub. This is the 20th time this has happened. Honestly happens about once a month. And each time our bathroom and the people underneath us bathroom is flooded. Each time our mats are soaked and we can't turn on the lights for at least 2 days. I'm sick of this . Legal advice? [link] [comments] |
| Student took off his mask to cough on me after I asked his friend to put his back on. Posted: 23 Nov 2021 07:20 PM PST I'm usually not one to get frustrated easily. Teaching this year has been horrible. Students are out of control. Today, I ran into a group of three students. I asked one student to put his mask back on (our school rule) to which his friend removed his and began coughing on me and laughing. I spoke with the principal and she was going to have the student write a letter of apology to me. If this was the grocery store and the kid did this, he could get in a lot of trouble. I was frustrated all day with the amount of abuse I've had this school year alone. Concussion, constant verbal abuse, items thrown, etc. it's insane. I want to press charges against this 14 year old. There has to be a consequence. Is there anything I can do? [link] [comments] |
| Is it legal for an employer to withhold $1000 in credit tip? Posted: 23 Nov 2021 07:18 PM PST A bartender at the strip club I work at told on me and another bartender for doing "suspicious things" in order to get such high tips. The boss who is an ex stripper said she doesn't believe we made that much without doing any "work". We have camera footage of each customer writing the tip in themselves. She will not give $1000 back each to my bartender friend and I. Please give me advice on what to do. [link] [comments] |
| Legal advice on HOA/co-op rules regarding smoking Posted: 23 Nov 2021 04:43 PM PST I've recently purchased a co-op in NYC. The HOA rules allow for smoking within the apartment as long as the smell does not enter the hallway or other apartments. My first violation was slid under my door in the form of a seemingly general letter restating the co-op rules regarding smoking due to the recent decriminalization of marijuana in NY. There was no indication of it being directed specifically to me, or that it was an official violation letter (do not recall a 1st offense notice on it) so I threw it out, not thinking it pertained directly to me. This was about two months ago. I received the second notice on Monday. It stated that there were complaints about the smell of marijuana that violated the no smoking policy with a $50 fine attached. This letter was completely different from the supposed first notice: it had an official heading, directed to me specifically and indicating that this was my second notice. The signature of a representative of the corporation that owns the co-op was at the bottom of the letter. The letter also indicated that if I did not cooperate (as in preventing the smell from leaving my apartment) legal action would be taken against me and I would be billed for the attorney costs. Obviously I'm willing to comply. I don't want to be that neighbor so I normally take precautions like leaving the windows open and lighting some candles while i smoke and after I smoke. No one has ever directly said something to me so part of the issue is I'm not exactly sure where the smell is leaking to (ie hallways or other apartments). Another issue is I'm not thrilled with the idea of not being able to smoke in the comfort of my home, especially in the dead of winter, when I pay all this money to simply exist here. What legal advice do you have for this situation? Specifically regarding the legal action they're threatening me with. What if its really not me and I deny that the smell is coming from my apartment? (How could something like that be verified?) How much could this cost if I were to violate this rule again? Would I need a lawyer? TLDR; Received a 2nd violation of no smoking rule at HOA/co-op. Legal action has been threatened for the next violation. Would like to know what that may entail and what I can do to protect myself legally. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Nov 2021 07:25 PM PST We recently had to terminate our lease with a slumlord. The landlord's lawyer emailed us with a huge list of demands on how we could move out and to sign a release. We had already moved out so we advised him of that, told him we were not signing a release, and to not to contact us again. He contacted us again over more nonsense about the keys not being received. The tracking which the landlord and lawyer have shows that the landlord has not signed the certified mail so the post office still has them. Once again we email and ask they he stop contacting us. He responds saying he'll contact us if he wants. Then about an hour later, either ignorantly or just on spite started cc'ing me on filings for another cases he is working and communication with his other (not landlord) clients. My question is two fold- what to do to get this individual from stop contacting us and what (if anything) should I do about the fact he's leaking this private info? [link] [comments] |
