Does the lease include any provisions regarding bed bugs? Some apartments make you disclaim any liability towards the apartment complex for bed bugs

Let's say that the lease only speaks generally about pests, and says that the tenant shall be clean, report any infestation in writing, and cooperated with preparations. Tenant will be billed for rescheduling if he fails to prepare or allow access. Suppose there is a term "Also, Landlord reserves the right to charge the cost of treatment, eradication of infestation, and cleaning of infested areas to the resident." Say that is the last sentence in the paragraph about cooperation with pest control. Say there are terms that ll can terminate residency if tenatns actions contribute to infestation, his actions hinder treatment, ll determines that the property cannot be treated with tenant continuing to live on premises, or any non-compliance.

Hypothetically, the tenant is getting a referral from a friend who is a criminal defense attorney. Say tenant has worked as a paralegal and can do most of any document review himself and has many friends who can write a letter for him, but doesn't know many ll/t attys. and just wants a free consultation unless litigation ensues.

You can probably just google Indiana tenant lawyers or something similar, one of them probably provides free consultations and likely have dealt with bed bugs before

As A guess, I don't think you're gonna get the landlord to pay the costs of cleaning your clothes. If the landlord takes prompt steps to fix the problem and the lease has a clause saying the landlord can charge the tenant

Better question is by suit separate pants does he mean slacks? Or did he buy 20 suit pants without jackets?

Well he has four suits, so at that point his suit pants that are parts of a suit are either 1/6th or 1/5th of his total suit pants, let's not split hairs.

So you bought suit pants, as separates, to wear like slacks?

Was it cheap then just buying slacks? I need to get some more slacks, so honestly curious. Or like did you buy one jacket separate and then like 3 of the same pants separate?

7 suits with 2 pairs of pants (if you buy suits with only one pair of pants, you're dumb), few pairs of jeans, few pairs of khakis/pants to go with sport coats, one ot two pairs of mud pants.

I have a question about a phrase that was mentioned in a Futurama, one that dealt with copywrite or trademark. I guess the jurisdictions would be LA (where the show was made) or NYC (where the show was essentially set).

The phrase was "We represent but are legally distinct from the lollipop guild". Does that phrase only exist for that one joke or is it something that gets legally invoked? If it's the latter, what exactly would it mean?

Suit pants (and suits for that matter) are comfortable as hell if well tailored.

If it wasn't for the tie and DC being a swamp, I'd be fine wearing a suit daily.

Lol the law is not like some magic black box where a few secret magic phrases will cause the system to do what you want, that's why the sovcit people are ridiculous. That phrase would mean exactly what you think it means. That they are a representative of the lollipop guild but are not the lollipop guild. It is neither copyright nor trademark, if anything it would be boilerplate contract. Such a serious answer for a joke. oh lawdy.

Probably depends on the wording of the law.
Possession, probably not (without being creative). Importation (which is common in gun/switchblade cases, which i assume this is about), yes.

If it is alive, it probably prohibits import and the feds probably do care as well.

Depends on how much they wanted sender: Extradition warrant plus call to sender's state bureau of investigation to coordinate an immediate pickup, or extradition warrant and just wait till sender gets stopped for speeding or something.

Would there be some sort of time limit on an extradition warrant ? People can go decades without a traffic violation or any interaction with LE.

Generally speaking, arrest warrants don't expire once issued. And the interaction when the warrant is discovered and served would not be a "sign here and promise to appear" situation, it's a "handcuffs, go to jail immediately and you might eventually get a bond" situation.

No limit. Had a young Marine who went UA/AWOL in 1972 go back home, get a life, become a trucker, get pulled over for speeding in 1995, and end up in the brig as a forty-something PFC.

The concept you're looking for is "Interstate Extradition". Whether a state will actually go to the effort of doing it if they even find out you're breaking the law depends on their workload and what you're doing. Don't send loving high caps mags to California.

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun.


Pennsylvania: I indicated (by email) my intention to renew a lease for another year back in December; after some back-and-forth with my (pretty terrible at her job IMO) leasing agent, I never signed and returned the lease renewal that she sent in early February. I've accepted a job in another state; am I on the hook for the property (which I don't have a lease for) or am I scot-free (despite written intent to renew).

e: In the emails I say "we're going to stay for another year" in early January; she later indicates (in mid-February) that we need to sign the lease extension in order to be considered under lease; I had no communication with her from when she sent the lease extension until I notified her of our intent to leave the property at the end of our current lease. There's nothing in our lease that requires advance notice of departure and it's outlined that the lease lapses at the end of the period without manual renewal.

e2: I've already heard back and the leasing agent has agreed that she made an oversight and is releasing us (the current lease runs through the end of the month, so I should be covered from my end) but I'm still curious if anyone wants to take a stab at which one of us has the legal advantage, even if it's not PA-specific.
