I mean, graduate schools are pretty much in the business of taking money from people with no credit, I don't see why they would have a problem with bad credit.

I'm pretty sure they also require a full strip-search to check for any unfinished tattoos because that's a big red warning light right there, like why else wouldn't you finish it unless you owed someone big time.

Really doesn't sound like you're cut out for life outside the ivory tower. Do grad students get meal plans too? Just live out the remainder of your days never leaving campus. Also post the tattoo.

Don't be sorry, it's an illuminating example of how your parents and our education system have failed you. Also the legal Qs thread is at its best when it's about incredibly petty non-criminal stuff between two irresponsible parties. Protip: if you don't have an emergency fund that can absorb a couple hundred bucks, you can't afford a tattoo.

Anyways I know this is the legal advice thread but I think I remember you from the grad school academia thread. Don't go into debt to get a phd. You will be poor stressed and overworked for 4-8 years. There are no jobs. If you are OK with that then go. I know a few colleagues who are in your field so pm or email me if you have any questions.

Pretty much everyone I know with tattoos is a broke hipster. If only financially responsible people got tattoos, there would be no tattoo artists. Obviously some of them have expanded into usury as well, which only makes sense since they prey on the poor.

So this is no $640 tattoo, but our generally disappointing shithole of an apartment complex in Chicago (city of, not a suburb), has bedbugs... AGAIN. We had them this summer because the girl two floors up from us came home from a week at her boyfriend's infested NYC apartment, dropped her poo poo on the floor and left for a month on a business trip, meaning all of the apartments below her got infested. After fighting the land management company for weeks, getting bitten and them putting it off, we got treated for it and re-signed the lease with a higher rent (because we are stupid lazy morons, in hindsight), on the written condition that the place was bed-bug free. That was September, after discovering the bugs in June. Well, they skipped on paying the exterminator to come and do preventative treatments, so last night I turned on the faucet and with the water, a a loving bedbug came out. Which means they are probably coming down, again, from upstairs. In addition to bed bugs every 4 months or so, there is also a hole in our bathroom, our tub was never correctly reglazed and there is a constant recognizable odor of sewage that emanates from the basement. So I want out NOW. There's not a security deposit, but we are looking at places and I don't want it to look bad that we are breaking a lease, but this has become unsafe and untenable. If I write them another letter saying we are leaving because of bed bugs and failure to maintain a healthy living environment and give them the 10 days to shape the gently caress up, can I still leave? I hate this place and people are vacating quickly: we have like 4 completely empty apartments that haven't been full for months now.

Eponine posted:So this is no $640 tattoo, but our generally disappointing shithole of an apartment complex in Chicago (city of, not a suburb), has bedbugs... AGAIN. Caveat: I am not a lawyer. How does your new lease address "written condition that the place was bed-bug free"? Does it say what happens if it's not? See this FAQ about rental rights for Chicago: http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/dcd/general/housing/RLTOEnglish.pdf Unless the lease otherwise addresses this bedbug issue, it seems like you could write a letter treating it as a Major Defect per the FAQ, and then leave after the 14 days if it's not addressed. The other things you mentioned seem more like Minor Defects.

As a layperson, I don't see how the letter gives you any additional rights. Is it an addendum to the lease? Does it explicitly give you an option to break the lease if there's an infestation? The landlord may have taken the letter and given you assurances that don't mean anything because they're not in the contract you signed to lease the apartment. The reasonable response from your landlord to a bedbug infestation is to hire an exterminator. Apparently your landlord isn't doing that? And that's a problem. But the solution that Chicago tells you to use is to give the landlord the 14-day ultimatum to fix it. You may look at the lease to see what your other options are to end the lease prematurely - sometimes you can pay a month's rent to break it early, if it's worth it to you.

Hi, I'm hoping for some (general) help here. My ex got out of the Navy and all our stuff was put into military storage, as we thought we were going to take our time with picking where to live and stuff. Anyways, after he got out he left me, and now we're divorcing which has taken a turn for the worse. He signed a specific power of attorney so I could get the car into my name only which I already did. But it's not one that JAG did. We did it on LegalZoom. There was a provision about the car, and also this other provision: quote:TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS: This leads me to believe I could use the POA I have to get our household goods shipped because it says "otherwise manage personal property." It's in our divorce agreement we both signed that the goods would be shipped to me, but now I have reason to believe he won't comply, and this could be my way around it to make sure it's enforced. But when I googled there were very specific JAG forms for this kind of thing and I feel like it won't be accepted. I'm going to call tomorrow and ask, but maybe by chance other Goons have some insight here? Nine Five Four fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Dec 15, 2014 |

I don't need POA to receive it, just to get the shipment initiated. Problem with POAs is that they are really discretionary. You can get one, show up somewhere and say "Hi, here's my power of attorney" and they can say "gently caress off." For military moves, they have their own paperwork. But you're his spouse still...so you should be able to just go to household goods and fill out the forms yourself as a dependent. Also, as a dependent, you are entitled to legal assistance via the NLSO (you said navy, right?) until you are actually divorced.
