I live in an apartment complex and was told no convicted child molesters live here by the landlord… Only to find out 6 months later that there is one living here. Now they are kicking him out but trying to keep it a secret from the other tenants… Is there a law for me to get my rent back that I paid while he was living here ??? Please help me out. Thank you. Also if you find a site where it says one way or the other, please post the link. Thank you !!

WHERE CAN I GET MONey QUICK?


I am a poor college student who just signed a lease for next school year for a check for $600 (for an apartment), it may seem like a lot, but EVERY MONTH i pay $900 for the dorms…yea, expensive!

Anyhow, I have a check coming in for 1500 dollars from extra loan money, but it wont be in my bank account until after I need the 600 bucks to secure my apartment. As of right now, I need $250 bucks within two weeks.

Therefore…I cannot get a job in that time, and I cannot borrow money from anyone. Do you have any ideas of where I can get that money??

Thanks!

We have a leasehold flat with 55 years remaining on the lease. We are trying to sell the flat but would like to know is it worth extending it or can we sell the property as it is? Does it have any affect on the sale?

apartment repair

My family lives in a apartment complex and the landlord will not fix things that needs to be fixed. I have a celing that fell on June 1st. And it needs to be repaired. My husband had a fall on the stairs because the lights in the hallway were out and he needs surgery because of this. What can I do? I wrote to three television stations to see if they can help me. What do you suggest?

Hi. I am planning to sell a ring on ebay. The ring is a chunky plastic ring, so it’s not tiny, but it’s still small enough to fit (along with some newspaper or other insulating material) into a mini manila envelope. This will make the envelope bulge out– ie, not be flat.

I’m wondering: on the USPS website, they say that a “large” envelope must still be rectangular in shape, or else it becomes classified as a package (which is more expensive). If my envelope is well within the size constraints of the “large envelope” catalogue but is very fat/bulging in shape, does this qualift as “non-rectangular?”

Please do not guess– only reply if you have experience with this kind of shipping.

thanks!

Isn’t this a catch 22?


John Doe has a credit bad credit score. John Doe is sick of being an immature lame-o and/or victim of predatory lending,hewants to get out from under his financial woes. and wants to grow up find a girlfriend, settle down and have a family some day.

So he spiffs up his resume and goes to job interviews, to start his career. He gets turned down everytime because they do a credit check, see a bad 3 digit number.

Meanwhile John Doe puts in apartment applications (with deposit and first months rent loaned from family) He can’t get an apartment either on 2 accounts: he hasn’t secured employment yet, and he has bad credit.

But he can’t fix his bad credit because he doesn’t have a job!

How does John Doe turn over a new leaf? It seems like a viscious circle.

After about 20 interviews should he just be up front and say, “I’m paying back old debts and starting over anew?” Would this break the cycle.

Passive Income


I have tried it all and can’t qualify to buy. I have ongoing medical bills, unpaid medical bills, charge offs, apartment judgements (2), old repossessions, a secured card that stays maxed out. I am caring for my family of 6 on my income only which is around $45K a year. I usually have trouble just paying rent, food, car note, fuel, insurance, electricity, water and cell phone and internet (I use it for work).

I don’t even pay for gas service in my house until winter b/c it is only used to power my heater. My student loan debt from my bachelors and masters programs is huge but I have it consolidated. I don’t have a home phone, cable or any of that frivolous stuff. Yet in all honesty, I cannot see myself raising my credit score enough to buy because everything I try I can’t keep up (like the secured card). I max it out on food or gas every month.

Now you know my financial story, would bankruptcy help me? Someone told me not to file because I won’t be able to buy a house for 10 years, but at the rate I’m going I won’t be able to anyway unless I have a rich uncle or a genie.

A small portion of parquet (mosaic) flooring was lifted due to water damage near the kitchen in my apartment. I will be moving out soon and wish to repair the floor to avoid extra billing. What tools does one need? It’s about 8 “strips” of wood. Anyone know what Ill need/how do tackle this small job?
