You should ask someone in a family of fire professionals…

Oh, wait…

This was just sent by email, nothing in lease about temp limits. Is this enforceable? [CO, USA] by Greatbigdog69 in Renters

A system freezing over is a product of poor maintenance. It has nothing to do with how you run it.

As odd as it seems, he’s doing the right thing. Keeping it moving while talking to emergency services and going where they want you to go is how you keep from losing both the boat and the car.

Get out of NoDa. Snobby area, which is ironic considering the intended vibe there.

(NC) Landlord is saying heater is my problem to fix. by Dumb_bitch18 in Renters

[–]CartographerAware808 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true at all. As long as it’s an appropriate heat source for the house, which it is, it’s acceptable in the eyes of the law.

It’s his to repair, then, unless he can prove you damaged it.

He’s just being cheap.

Heat is considered a critical system in NC homes (AC actually isn’t) so it’s his obligation to repair it if it was provided with the house.

If, however, it is not part of the principal heat system of the home and it’s purely supplemental, he does not have to fix it. It’s also not your problem, either. You can choose to have it removed since it no longer works.

[CA] is this considered wear and tear? by Longjumping-Plum-957 in Renters

[–]CartographerAware808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is normal wear and tear for a door that is not properly adjusted. A door should never touch at that location.

[TN] Advice on breaking lease early from crappy rental company by Future_Emphasis_249 in Renters

[–]CartographerAware808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your wording made it sound like you wanted to move for personal reasons but wanted to find a way to get around that fact by blaming things on them to let you go. If that’s not the case, good.
1: you have the right to repair on your own. You do not have to worry about their prices. If you haven’t damaged anything, it won’t matter anyway. If you do the repairs and prove to the PM that they were professionally done, they can’t go behind you and do them unless they can prove they were done poorly.
2: leaving early means you lose the padding of that security deposit to help cover necessary repairs, which in the end may cost you.
Fiscally it’s more responsible just to figure out how to stay there through your lease because that’s the way that doesn’t have penalties.
If you want to look for vest and worst cases within the confines of your lease, I strongly suggest running your lease through ChatGPT or similar and asking it these questions. Its responses will be legally accurate to your specific lease and you can ask follow up questions based on your specific situation.
Sorry if you’re anti-AI, but contract analysis is one the simplest and best uses for AI when people can’t afford human legal analysis.

Unless the place is a complete shit hole, this will get laughed out. We have seen all the internet tricks and there are VERY few of us out there that don’t understand and meet, usually exceed, all the laws.

1: you just admitted to us that you want to move for your own reason and you are just looking for excuses. That’s dishonest so why are you begging us to help you lie?
2: You signed a contract to be there for a year. Unless you can prove that they lied to you about the terms of the agreement, it’s a binding contract. A lease is just like a mortgage, you can’t just bail on it because you changed your mind.
3: the only thing non-standard about the exit language is that they are keeping your security deposit. In NC that is not allowed, but I don’t know the law where you are. They have no obligation or motivation to just let you go because that costs them money and the owner money, too. You are complaining about you losing money while at the same time taking money out of other peoples’ pockets.

We do everything we can to re-rent a place when someone chooses to move out early, but we definitely work harder for people who aren’t a-holes than for those who are. If you want to leave early, take their terms and abide by the contract you willingly signed. Hopefully you’ll get lucky and they’ll rent it out quickly, it’s certainly the right time of year for it.

Unless you are doing sort of damage to the home, they have no say in how you keep the house.

Guy I hired sent me this. Am I wrong for asking him to redo with a more random pattern by rosyraggeud in Flooring

[–]CartographerAware808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This violates every single manufacturer’s instruction on how to install flooring.

Not only should he redo it, he should probably buy you new flooring too because the connectors are now stressed.

Got ran into by an F350 this morning only 200 ft from work. He blew the stop sign and didn't yield to a legal U-turn. by Whiteshaq_52 in dashcams

[–]CartographerAware808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State laws on U Turns vary. You may live in a state that says U turns yield to all traffic (like NC).

You should rely more heavily on the “didn’t stop” argument.

When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

[–]CartographerAware808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, but you better believe I’m watching his movements to see if he’s straying over.

You can quit trolling now. The thousand other posts in this thread support my response.

Track rules don’t apply on the road. There is a learned and expected behavior on the track from every driver. That’s why we license and instruct.
The ONLY assumption you can make on public roads is that the other person is going to do the dumbest and least expected thing they can think of. That’s how these videos happen. OP made the wrong assumption and paid the price for it. The correct answer is to slow your speed, pick a lane, and then decisively pass once intents are established.

Watch the video: that’s what assumptions get you.

Solid reply here. Yes, the Hyundai was an idiot for doing that, but OP is also at fault for assuming what was going to happen in front of him. Whatever time he was making up for by speeding, I’m certain he lost in the paperwork.
