So a bad thing happened. My car was stolen. This isn't really the end of the world as the car wasn't worth that much, but it was my mode of transportation to work and I can't afford another vehicle. I live about 90 minutes by biking and a knee problem might hamper my ability to actually make that trek. Beyond my inability to get to work, I'm honestly somewhat terrified of living here. It's a gated community, but apparently not gated enough for some to just walk in, grab a vehicle and leave. The more I think about it, the less I want to be here and the more I want to move. To that end, can I use this as grounds to break my lease on my apartment? Is there a way to legally do that and move to some place where I'm both closer to work such that I can actually bike there, and not have to worry about someone just taking stuff with no recourse? This is in California. Canine Blues Arooo fucked around with this message at 08:07 on May 12, 2015 |

mastershakeman posted:Are you positive it wasn't towed? Yeah, I called the landlord before filing a stolen vehicle to confirm they didn't tow it for some reason. I also called the local police's traffic unit to check if it showed up as a 'towed' in their system and no dice either way. Is there someone else I should be calling? I'm pretty stupid to this entire experience, so if I messed up, I'd love to know about it.

Saucer Crab posted:My non-laywer opinion is that HOAs suck major poo poo and you made a mistake buying a house in one in the first place. Alternative opinion: HOAs are a way of dealing with lovely neighbors without having to do something drastic, and can create and enforce 'good neighbor' policies effectively. For example, if you have a motorcycle that's noisier than my alarm clock, then I can point to the HOA documentation that says, 'no vehicles with more than 75 Db of noise from 10 meters'. The result is a quiet neighborhood or you get fined. Alternatively, alternatively, paying someone $300 / month to mow my lawn is of questionable value...

Leperflesh posted:Those are things your city can do instead, you know. Like my city says we can't leave garbage bins out front for more than 24 hours, and they enforce it. You don't need a petty extra-governmental neighborhood cabal to have "good neighbor" laws. The city I live in has a noise ordinance of 95db, and doesn't enforce it. The HOA does a lot more on that front than the city.

I'm really curious about Richard Liebowitz. The dude seems obviously incompetent and constantly acting in bad faith, but is allowed to take up enormous amounts of court time. It sounds like he's going to probably get a pretty mighty backhand here from the courts, but is this behavior just that uncommon that it seems to take years of obviously bad behavior before real consequences start to happen?

In any situation that doesn't deal with explicit sig figs, zeros are implied. 5 is 5.0000.., 12.058 is 12.05800000.. 4cm is 4.0000.. cm. 6.5 kilos is 6.500000.. kilos and 5:00pm is 5:00:00.000000.. pm No where ever do we assume otherwise. A weight limit of 2lbs means that 2.2lbs is over limit. You can try and drive your vehicle with a height of 12'10" under a bridge with a height limit of 12', but you might have a bad time. Try and bring a contain with 2.8oz of liquid onto a plane when the limit is 2oz. They'll probably tell you to gently caress off. No where else is a zero not assumed when unspecified. I have no idea how this is at all a debate. If we didn't assume zeros, then you can change the definition by simply changing the unit. Have a weight limit of 4000lbs on a road? Change the units to tons and now carry 2.6 tons because that's still 2 tons. Look at how irrationally annoyed I am about something so petty and dumb. This is probably not healthy.

Valicious posted:I’m in Lake County, IL and my partner (not actually married, but our finances impact each-other greatly) is being sued by a debt collector for an unpaid Citibank. He missed his court appointment saying “I was going to just lose anyway, so it doesn’t matter. I actually just saved having to pay the appearance fee.” How much more worried should I be? What are the consequences of this? (Note: I am in a wheelchair and he works as my caregiver. If he is not here, I can’t get out of bed and starve.) IANAL, but I assume he now has a judgement against him that is probably going to be whatever Citibank has requested, which is going to be hard to remove short of just cutting them the check. More to the point though of, 'How worried should I be?' Based strictly on this anecdote, this seems like a person I wouldn't trust with five dollars, let alone my life. Unless I'm completely blind to something, there is no such thing as an 'Appearance Fee' unless you are the one to open the case, which I assume he is not. This does not seem like you are dealing with a responsible adult here.

I'm feeling brave, thread. Landlords don't have to be shitbags, and I'd say I'm personally about 25/75 with the majority of landlords being shitbags, but I've had good landlords where we work together to keep each other's costs lower. Also, my good landlords have always been private owners. Companies suck and are terrible 100% of the time

I believe what is trying to be communicated here is that there is a balance of harms to consider. If the rules for test/search are too strict, Police abuse the position they are in. If the rules are light, drunk drives are harder to prosecute. There is a balancing act at play here. That's all that's being sad IMO.

My concentration power is usually around 'Yellow', but if I take my concentration pills, I can get it up to a 7, or something a B+ even. Unironically, when I was on Adderall, I would enter a state of hyperfocus that is unlike anything else.

Outrail posted:Do you know what the drug was because I would kill to be able to focus on anything for more than five minutes. It was some kind of amphetamine, I couldn't tell you exactly which one and it was 10+ years ago. When I did eventually get a script for Adderall and the effect was pretty similar (although probably less intense). A warning about Adderall though: You build a resistance to it and the feeling is intoxicating. I probably slipped from 'use' to 'abuse' around the time I started scheduling doses around WoW. I feel like I barely escaped that poo poo.

It is my understanding that the driver who hits a pedestrian / rear ends someone / fails to stop for a biker has a cliff to climb to prove that they were not at fault. Usually, the pilot of the 2 ton piece of metal is extremely liable for making sure they are not endangering those that do not have direct control over said hunk of metal, so there's that. Now, exceptions exist and I'm sure someone has gotten somehow escaped fault for rear ending someone, but the facts seems to matter a lot here. IANAL.

I'm looking at PACER costs and this poo poo is straight up draconian. Charging per page delivered is some print era poo poo, but whatever I guess. This however is completely hosed: "PACER Search Results – Anytime a search is performed you are charged a fee based on the number of pages generated in the search, even if the search displays “no matches found.” There is no maximum fee for these searches."

I'm normally a spectator here, but I have a hypothetical of sorts: Lets say Party X is trying to sue Party Z for unpaid rent as part of a shared lease. X and Z were roommates. X fronted the rent. Z didn't pay for a few months. X is suing Z in small claims, but cannot find Z's new address to serve them. What is the recourse here?
