Never thought I'd have to ask a question that I couldn't at least find some answer to myself, but I need an independent opinion. In Ohio, if a person's boss physically threatens them several times over the course of a few weeks, and the threats are reported to the owner of the company (there is no HR department, it's just the owner, another boss, and an assistant), and after those few weeks of reported incidents, the person's boss loses control and screams at the employee, punches the air in front of the employee, calls the employee several derogatory names, culminating in balling up a bunch of paper and throwing it at the employee (and striking said employee), then throwing things off the employee's desk at the employee, and the owner still does nothing after being told what happened... ...can that employee quit and still claim unemployment? It's pretty clearly a dangerous work environment (for an office, anyway), the threatening boss is clearly having anger issues. Thoughts? Additional Notes: No previous discipline issues; no negative reviews; boss in question has an admitted history of substance abuse. Don't know if any of that is pertinent or not. bkerlee fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Feb 25, 2010 |

wormil posted:My own experience with the Ohio Unemployment office is the employer is always right, always. I hope for your sake that has changed over the last decade or so. That's kind of what I thought, and this isn't a situation where said employee would be on the street or anything like that, but I wanted opinions. It's honestly hard to say how much the employer would even fight the issue.

To continue with the situation above, the boss in question is now sending harassing text messages, late at night. Does this add anything to the situation?

I have a question about landlord requirements. My dad owns an older home in Ohio, that still has the old fusebox (rather than a circuit-breaker) and old-style plugs (no ground wire). If he decides to rent this home out, is he required to re-wire the house? To be honest, I'm trying to talk him out of becoming a landlord, but any advice would be great.

Solomon Grundy posted:It is possible, but there is no state-wide law that addresses the subject. The local municipality's codes will dictate. In general, the larger the city, the more likely there is to be a occupancy code or local landlord/tenant ordinance that would require electrical updates. And if he is going to take a federal Section 8 voucher for rental assistance, the answer is almost certainly yes, due to the requirements of that program. It's a really, really small town, but a county seat. He's not taking section 8, it's much more complicated than that. Basically, the neighbors who lived next door for years (and always watched after my grandmother/his mom) are going into foreclosure, and he's wanting to let them live there and work on rehabbing the house in lieu of rent. However, the house is a gigantic deathtrap. If you've seen the movie Money Pit, it's basically that house. There's literally a hole in the side of the house leading into the dirt basement. I've had to help him remove several dead animals from the basement each year. In the other two units (it's a 3-unit home) there are gas lamps on the walls for light and the three electrical outlets are actually in the floor. I'm pretty sure there's a gas leak coming from the converted wood stove that serves as the heater for the entire house, the stove doesn't work, and if you have the lights on while using a hairdryer, a glass fuse pops. My dad admitted that the easy way to fix that is to use pennies instead of fuses. I wish he was kidding. If it were up to me, I'd have the house donated to the fire department for them to practice on.

He's on the title (assume you mean deed, and also mortgage) of the house, therefore, an owner.

Walk away and don't rent from a landlord who can't keep the loving lights on and offers weed for early rent payments. No matter how right you are you will never come out ahead in this situation.

No but you see, he knows more about how this works than lawyers, because he totally has some saved texts about drugs, and the lease totally backs him up. Seconding the request to chronicle your adventures trying to gallantly defend your honor against the sinister, evil landlord who besmirched your good name.

It's easy to check court records and find out who has the red flags that might show they'll be a giant pain in the rear end.
