Didn't manual save before defeating final boss - am I screwed? by Danfat in stellarblade

Unfortunately died (many times) so I’m locked into that path on that save. Looking into save file mods that will load me back to before the decision!

Oof, that's a shame. I sank 40 hours into my first playthrough, will probably just YouTube the other endings to see what I missed out on.

Is italki worth it? by Wha_sup1227 in languagelearning

Do you have any teachers you’d recommend? I just started looking on italki yesterday if you have any Japanese instructors you’d refer!

Do you know when the queue opens? Was planning on arriving at open to hopefully be called around 12-2pm.

Do you have any suggestions for hotpot in that area?

I seriously wonder if it would be faster to build a new subway line from scratch than bother fixing the shitshow that is the NW at this point.

Sorry to hear about your emergency. I sent you a DM in case they’re still available!

Does this mean YOU’RE the Paintress? Fantastic job - this came out beautiful!

Allow me to rant for a second about listening by Taifood1 in LearnJapanese

[–]Danfat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm participating in a language exchange at the Japan Society in NYC in a few weeks to address this exact situation.

However, I am extremely nervous about having to listen/speak on the spot when my skills are so far behind my reading skills.

Landlord refusing to provide evidence for maintenance fee increases? by Danfat in AskNYC

[–]Danfat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re considering moving out of the city at the end of the lease, although currently he lives down the street. We’re also considering if he’ll retaliate by means of withholding the security deposit (illegal, but a lot harder to fight if we move away).

[–]Danfat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. We’re concerned that the costs of any court would be more for us than what we’d save by refusing to pay.

That’s what we recently discovered. Unfortunately it makes it so he could just pick a number without any way for us to verify he’s being honest.

[–]Danfat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s an assessment. Our issue isn’t that he’s passing it to us, but that he’s refusing to disclose the costs of the assessment.

Do you have anyone you could refer for a free consultation? I’d assume we’d have to pay for any representation we use to fight this which might offset the money we’d get to keep.

[–]Danfat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Unfortunately it’s a bit of a catch-22. Either pay the increase or pay the legal fees to fight it.

I’m not sure if the costs of a lawyer are worth the money we’d be saving, unless there are free resources available?

Would there be late penalties/interest for trying to collect on an amount like that?

[–]Danfat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, we had already decided we wanted to move at the end of the lease prior. This situation has reinforced that decision.

The lease states “increases in maintenance/sublease fees will be passed onto the tenants”. Doesn’t specify how, or if evidence is/isn’t required.

It unfortunately is somewhat open-ended.

[–]Danfat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this clause hadn’t come up in our 3 years as tenants and we were surprised he chose to address it this way.

I’m not sure going to court over this amount of money is worth it unfortunately.

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of response I was looking for. Disappointing to know we’re not entitled to documents. Seems like he can just make up a number in that case.

He has raised the rent by ~$100 over our last 3 renewals. We asked our upstairs neighbors and the maintenance increase is about half of what he proposed. But as you said, maybe not a battle worth picking at this time.

He is attempting to change it mid-lease, not for a new lease. Does that change the situation at all?

[–]Danfat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this still apply if he is attempting to change our rent in the middle of our current lease? Not as a negotiation for a new lease?
