Yeah. I’m extremely fortunate that I am waiting on a visa to go to Mamma Mia! land. They won’t give a gently caress about a civil suit in the states and rent will be around €300 a month.

I would just think of the money as “gently caress off” money. that’s the price you pay to no longer have this piece of poo poo in your life. the bigger the piece of poo poo, the higher the price.they’re clearly miserable and miserable people just make the lives of others miserable, no matter how righteous your path is when it hits their orbit

For real I learned a valuable lesson. No matter how much a landlord violates the law, the courts will side with them.

Some courts. Remember there's a random element. Every day is different, every judge or department is different. It's spinning a roulette wheel. I've lost at the wheel, but I've won at it too.

if you have any actual desire for pettyness, just remember that you're dealing with a delusional landlord who is undoubtedly disappointed at not getting a full judgement in her favor

just because to you know she won more than she deserved, doesn't mean she does, why confirm that victory by showing you're upset

why include an insult with the check when you could present it in a way that implies glee at being able to pay her off with chump change.

put it in a festive envelope, include a lovely $10 gift card to Subway as a consolation prize, be patronizing instead of bitter for the cheaply bought off slumlord

this. For every bit of legitimate pain/frustration you feel at this result I can confidently say the lady’s brainworms are making her feel ten times as betrayed by the court system for this result.

To her, this moment is a crushing loss of the $10k or whatever she earnestly feels you stole from her, and I promise that she will still be anguishing over this for way longer than you will.

I’ll probably just end up paying by sending her a check with a note along the lines of “At least I’m happily married and we now know why you got a divorce and will remain divorced.”

This country is so goddamn stupid.

I had a spat with my last (hopefully ever) landlady when we bought our first house, and after a brief back and forth where she took half our deposit without any justification, I decided that 500$ was a small price to pay to never have to interact with her again.

ultimately I know that’s why they are the way they are (just like insurance companies doing blanket denials) but it definitely saved me a lot of inconvenience.

This is a good idea but don't waste $10 on a gift card, just stuff it with coupons from local flyers.

As Downtown Pittsburgh safety concerns linger, more businesses consider moving on

Businessman Robert Fragasso had planned on downsizing his office space Downtown when his lease on Smithfield Street ends next year.

Now he’s wondering if he wants to be Downtown at all.

“My clients don’t want to come Downtown. My employees don’t want to come Downtown,” said Mr. Fragasso, CEO of Fragasso Financial Advisors. “Why am I spending money to be Downtown?”

Pittsburgh’s central business district is nowhere near as business-friendly as it used to be, according to multiple business owners and workers Downtown. Public and private complaints over safety and an increased sense of lawlessness have continued for months, including during a tense December meeting between Downtown business owners and merchants and officials within Mayor Ed Gainey’s administration.




Gonna be real fuckin funny when it comes out that the recent news and social media blast in favor of banning black and poor people from downtown and putting homeless people in incinerators was astroturfed by commercial landlords.

It closed because a new company bought the building and jacked the rent up, there isn’t a single fast food place downtown anymore because of the rent increases.

The usual suspects are saying it closed because of homelessness and crime. I worked next door to that McDs for nine years and that wasn’t the problem.

I don’t know specifically about Pittsburgh, but I imagine a lot of the cheap fast food got chased out of most of the major cities in recent years. 10 years ago downtown Chicago McDs prices were like double suburban prices just due to most things being more expensive in the city.

With the crazy price increases in the suburbs, the city prices have to be going up as well. And who wants to spend $20+ (guessing) for lunch at McDs?

i don’t think landlady is necessarily pissed at only getting $300. wasn’t the countersuit likely a tactical part of her defense to muddy the original actually legitimate suit?
