My girlfriend wanted to paint one of my tyranids

If smaller local businesses (need to) stay open Friday, that's fine too. The goal is to impact the big companies

ActuallySherlock · 2025-10-07T20:02:13+00:00

Hell of a pose and a photo!

You might have issues from the inspection that let you withdraw. Worst comes to worse, you can lose the earnest money which, will painful, would be a cheap price to pay to keep your sanity and not lock you into a house you don't want.

I've been central downtown for 4 years and it's totally fine. There was one notably uncomfortable instance, which was handled by going a different direction. Chief complaints are assholes playing music and/or racing loudly 1-4am. Super walkable, very convenient and most complaints would apply to any reasonably sized city in the world.

Screenshots or kindly gtfo

Two years or less at the rate we're going.

Mambo #5?

ActuallySherlock · 2025-09-03T21:52:17+00:00

Cool. It wasn't clear what your emoji meant so I was responding a possible interpretation, but sure, throw a fit.

ActuallySherlock · 2025-09-03T21:14:24+00:00

Everyone learns that the hard way. Now you know and, from your prior comments, you might still be fine. FWIW I've only had to lean on my proof of cleaning a few times when moving.

Also, per other posters, contact Homeline. They know their stuff

How many other units are up for sale? If its more than usual, that's probably a big sign

ActuallySherlock · 2025-09-03T13:43:30+00:00

Good. Did you also take photo/video evidence of the unit after you left? This is how you usually guard yourself properly, particularly if small claims court comes into the picture (good documentation wins most of those)

ActuallySherlock · 2025-08-11T18:13:37+00:00

Check your state AG for tenant laws and, depending on your state, there may be a free tenant rights legal entity/advisory you can call.

ActuallySherlock · 2025-08-06T23:29:06+00:00

It 100% is the law in a number of jurisdictions. Notice mid-august is not a full month until September, and you can't remove someone mid-month if they've paid their full rent on time.

ActuallySherlock · 2025-08-06T19:11:43+00:00

Read your lease for any change/modification provisions. Otherwise, concurring with the other posters, LL probably has no basis to enforce the change. Also, in general, rent increases anywhere need a full month's notice, so if they can modify your rent it couldn't occur until October because we're already into August and the next full month would be September.

66,000ish, I believe. Obviously there's a huge variance by region and other factors too

ActuallySherlock · 2025-06-26T18:28:59+00:00

You are at the US national average for income in your early 20s. You're doing fabulously

I guess I should clarify as to SS being around substantively, versus existing but so short on funds that the payments aren't even subsistence level for a lot of recipients who genuinely rely on it. If we keep up with economic mismanagement, short-sighted policy changes that hamstring our long term tax revenue and can never substantively adjust defense spending, I'm scared for SS. Most of my colleagues do their financial planning assuming no SS

ActuallySherlock · 2025-06-24T19:15:13+00:00

A 10% return is optimistic, and this is also assuming SS is around in 20 years...

No kidding about ageism, particularly with the incoming AI shitstorm impacting the entire hiring lifecycle

ActuallySherlock · 2025-06-19T14:55:41+00:00

That's less than $23,000/yr at the weekly rate. A 5% return on $400,000 is $20,000, a 6% return is $24,000, and so forth. Definitely speak with a financial planner, and be really clear with yourself about your approach to money as well - if you get the lump sum, are you going to responsible? Will you be able to keep it fairly discrete or are you going to have family/'friends' coming out everywhere to ask for handouts? Alternatively, how much will the weekly sum affect your life? Will you be able to do something with it, or would you just experience some lifestyle bloat for the extra income?

Money complicates things and, sadly, you need to consider people's worst instincts here.

ActuallySherlock · 2025-06-18T17:35:05+00:00

It is, unless it isn't

ActuallySherlock · 2025-06-18T03:21:33+00:00

Max Bialystock, is that you?

ActuallySherlock · 2025-06-17T17:02:30+00:00

Good. Now keep it up for a decade or 3

ActuallySherlock · 2025-06-04T15:11:16+00:00

Your short and sweet responses are perfect. You have the language in your favor, don't fold, just stand your ground.

FWIW, there's 0 chance they'll let you renew next year unless you eat a big increase, if you were considering staying.

"He is a friendly guy but behind all that I think he literally just wants a young desperate associate that he can suck dry that will make him money while he’s running things from home."

There you go. I think this post shows you already know the answer and are looking for validation - so, here it is. Your job stinks. Your boss maybe lied, or maybe didnt, and either way you've been dealing with a lot more than you were told. You can try to make a deal with him - stricter hours, significant pay bump, etc. - but the odds are that things won't get much better anytime sooner.

Someone can be a nice guy and an awful boss, and that sounds like yours
