Devor posted:So for our hypothetical, out of those two dates, "30 days prior to the specified ending date for the fixed term" is later, so that requirement would govern. If we were into December when the notice was posted, then the second requirement would govern instead. Part of it comes down to which of the 4 dates (end date of fixed term, date in notice, fixed term date - 30 days, date in notice - 30 days) "whichever is later" applies to. I'd argue it applies to the fixed date and date in notice and that the intent was to make it so both parties had to give a minimum of 30 days notice, not to essentially disallow leases longer than 30 days, but it is poorly worded. I'm not sure I'd stress about a "pissed-off landlord" given that it's a company controlling a couple hundred units. If it was an upstairs apartment rented from a crazy lady, yeah, but if you're able to avoid the eviction for cause I tend to doubt they'd do any stupid stuff, certainly not anything actionable. They'll wait for your lease to expire and not renew, or at least, not renew without a big bump in rent.

If someone has no convictions but a few arrest records from 2011 and 2012 - is it a fairly simple process to seal those records so if someone does a background check, no record of the arrest shows up? Obviously this is something that requires a lawyer to perform but are courts generally pretty lenient on granting these wishes?

Is it illegal to accuse someone of a crime in writing without providing proof? What about if you ask for money? Eg. if Bob feels that Joe committed a minor offense against him (say, logging into Bob's email account without Bob's permission) but Bob and his lawyers haven't done any sort of investigating to have proof to back up this claim, and at Bob's request his lawyers send a threatening letter to Joe saying "You logged into my email account, give me $1000 or else," is that kosher?

Two  hypothetical situations:Spacely Sprockets contracts Designer Dave to design a new type of sprocket to add to their product line. Designer Dave takes the easy way out and "designs" the sprocket by ripping of a design that is patented by Cogswell Cogs. Spacely says "looks great, thanks!" and starts manufacturing and selling them. Eventually, Cogswell takes notice and is not happy about it. If Cogswell sued Spacely (which I assume they would, correct me if I am wrong), who would you expect to ultimately take it in the rear end for not checking patents, Spacely or Designer Dave? Situation 2: An employee voluntarily leaves a job. After their departure, it is noticed that they made a lot suspicious purchases on the company dime. After investigating, they determine that they were unauthorized purchases for personal gain. If the employer were to sue the former employee, would they have to sue for and prove each individual purchase was for personal gain, or would they sue for the lump sum?

There's no obligation to check patents, so neither of them would get hit for not checking patents. Spacely would still infringe, of course. Whether they'd pay extra for willfulness is fact-dependent but unlikely, and if they did it would depend on their contract with Design they would seek indemnification successfully or not.

ulmont posted:Also, remember, it's "Designer Dave." "Designer Dave" is likely to be judgment proof on the scale of a patent infringement judgment (or indemnification), so Spacely Sprockets is still going to take it on the shorts. Depends. Designer Dave might well be (an employee of) a subcontractor supplier with actual deep pockets. Also sometimes patent infringement judgments are surprisingly low!

Second thread has the boyfriend/husband of the driver asking what to do to get his girlfriend/wife out of jail... for hitting a parked but inoperable Ford Explorer. It only gets better from there. The OP of the first thread goes into the second thread and posted this: First thread OP posted:You forgot to mention the fact that your girlfriend was driving while intoxicated, had an open container of alcohol in the vehicle, was caught on video drinking more alcohol immediately after the accident and had a BAC of >.15. You also forgot to mention that just two weeks prior, she was again driving whole intoxicated, and crashed into and totaled another parked vehicle, then fled the accident and locked herself inside of your house and refused to come out.

When does the act of being a bastard become legally actionable? I have a friend, living in Maricopa County, AZ, who has a brother who seems hell bent on making life miserable for her and their mother. The latest drop in a rather long history of him trying to squeeze them out of the house is that he, being a non-occupant half owner of the house my friend and their mother lives in, demanded that they take in some friends of his girlfriend as tenants so he could collect rent from them. Upon them refusing to do this, he demanded keys to the house so he could rent out a room. Not getting his will in this (I understand that as he is not a tenant-in-common, he can't make such demands of the half-owners who actually have tenancy of the house), he then proceeded to report the house to the city for having an illegal enclosed garage, just to put the squeeze on them further. My questions are as follows; 1) At what point can someone point to a list of grievances that someone is putting upon them and have law enforcement respond for being downright harassing, even if he is toeing the law? 2) Can the garage, which is a conversion done decades ago, but apparently without a proper permit, be retroactively approved? The mother and daughter living there had nothing to do with its installation, it was done by one of the previous owners. 3) What free legal aid can they seek in the area? Nationally? I'll forward any questions for more specifics as needed. Any help the law goons can provide would be muchly appreciated. I've heard about this brother's mischief for a couple of years now, and this is just reaching the point where it is grating at my nerves that he gets to carry on like this without opposition.

My neighbor and I are in a dispute about a tree. My property has a 70+ old tree close to his driveway. My neighbor claims that the tree's root has caused damage to his driveway. He has strongly hinted that I should paying to repair his driveway. I told him, that he can scorch(I'm not sure that's the right term) the roots that are on his property so it'll stop growing. I told him that it's a really old tree that was present before either of us bought the property. He can't reasonably expect that I can control which way the root grows. And especially the root was probably already present when he bought the property(We both have been here less than 10 years). Would homeowner's insurance or umbrella insurance cover us in a case like this? If it doesn't what kind of lawyer should I be looking for?

So I rented a apt room and 2 weeks later I find out that the toilet always is running/breaks occasionally. I've figured out the problem (thanks internet) can I compel the landlord to fix it? She tells me she will make me pay for it if the toilet breaks completely. I have no contract other than receipt for 2 months of rent (including deposit). I want to say no but what do you think SA?
