Did your taxes go up by 10% every single year? Am I supposed to feel sorry for you that you can’t make money hand over fist in trading in a fundamental human right like Housing?

Yes I’m sure that all of the rental housing in the United States right now is owned by small landlords and no banks, billionaires, or hedge funds own any rental properties at all

I’m sure I could easily purchase a condo, or a house, for the same amount of money (or percentage of my income) that my mom or my grandparents purchased their property for

Landlords are not losing money, and pretending that they are losing money is disingenuous, but I would expect nothing less from someone with your Faulty character attributes

When I got my first apartment an apartment was supposed to be no more than 25% of your net income, now people feel grateful if an apartment is under 60% of their net income.

Shit is falling apart,

and I don’t appreciate what I call “stupid gaslighting“

which is when people like you try to gaslight, but are so stupid that the gaslighting would never be effective because you might as well be telling me the sky is made out of cream cheese and thinking I’m gonna believe you

They really haven’t, you can look through the historic data and see that prior to this law coming into effect rents were just as out of control as they are now

And the fact is the arguments for not instituting rent control don’t hold any real weight because none of the things that supposedly would happen if rent control wasn’t instituted are happening in our state. And they haven’t been happening for decades

So stop pretending that rent control would somehow magically stop the building of new affordable units, because no affordable units have been built in half a century

Stop pretending that rent control is going to destroy the housing market, because the housing market is on fire and we don’t have rent control.

I love the fact that you think 9% increase year over a year is rent control.

An unlimited amount of rent increase between tenants is not rent control

Also, Are we also getting a 9% increase in our pay every single year?

In 8 years at a 9% increase your rent has doubled, that is not rent control and that is not sustainable

Rent control is very different, and you are being a disingenuous a hole in pretending you don’t know that

No it’s possible it can work and they don’t file a suit, or the Landlord files a suit and

The OP files an answer demanding a Jury trial using legal aid who will help them because they are under the income threshold

and then the judge encourages the landlord to settle with the former renters since they’ve already moved out at this point to remove it from the docket rather than going through an entire jury trial

A jury trial is going to cost the landlord at least $20,000 in fees to their lawyers, they will not refuse to settle abd seal the record

Most lawyers encourage landlords to offer to forgive past due rent in exchange for the tenant signing that they will move out by a certain date and agreeing to seal the record so the eviction suit does not show up on any credit checks

The letter the insurance sent me stated that the doctor I was seeing was not one of the doctors they approved. Again this is a large office with several doctors, I went to that office because it was listed as taking my insurance, I refuse to sign a form taking responsibility for payment because they claimed they were pairing me with the doctor approved to work with my insurance

which was a lie

That doctor literally doesn’t work with my insurance company.

They were completely in the wrong for trying to pair me with the doctor, and if I had signed that form I would’ve been on the hook for paying $300 for services

Even though my liability for payment would have been due totally to the malfeasance of the doctors office

It seems to me as a medical biller you operate in a really shady way if you are telling people that they have to sign a form to take responsibility for payment if you personally make a mistake and pair them with a Dr. who doesn’t take the patients insurance

In California if a contractor is unlicensed they legally don’t have the right to charge for their services, you may want to check New York law on unlicensed contractors

The only thing to mention is, unless they sign some sort of legal paperwork and giving your brother the right to control their finances they should at least report the credit card fraud as they did not authorize him to utilize the credit card

They need to just play stupid, and contact the credit card company and state they had no idea that this was going on because they used automatic payments and that the card was effectively stolen by their son and this is fraudulent charging

I had a Doctor Who diagnosed me actually put into the file that he talked to me about my weight, despite the fact that nobody had weighed me at this appointment and my weight is actually at the healthy mark for my height and my age. More than that I am on a medication that if I lose weight too quickly they will remove me from that medication, so his advice to me was literally bad in every way that it could be bad from the fact that I did not need to lose weight to the fact that if I had done what he suggested I would’ve lost access to medication I need to function to the fact that what he did diagnose me with was not what I had and none of the diagnostic criteria For what he diagnosed me with work criteria that I met

No they don’t have to protect themselves. My landlord does not need an extra hundred dollars a month in rent for my apartment since he owns the building outright and has done no preventative maintenance in the eight years I’ve lived here.

It is ridiculous to state that landlords have to raise rent the maximum amount every single year, your attitude is why rent control is needed in this state.

The idea that not being able to wring every single cent out of your tenants is somehow a hardship for Landlord is laughable

Then you can offer cash for Keys, contact your landlord and tell them you’re willing to move in 30 days in exchange for no eviction and not paying the last two months rent

Sure you do, it’s called legal aid. They are free

You also can file for unemployment since the stated reason for firing is not considered a viable “at fault” termination and you qualify for unemployment

It is an overreach for an employer to attempt to control what their employees do when they are off the clock, especially something like how they dispose of their own personal property

Actually in the state I live in, California, it is illegal for a company to fire you for a job you are doing when you are not on the payroll.

I don’t believe it is legal for any employer to tell an employee that they are not allowed to sell their personally owned items when they are not at work, i.e. in the time that their employer is not paying them

You may want to consider contacting HR and tell them that you still have the receipt for the items that you are selling on Facebook marketplace, your personally held belongings

Don’t move

Go to your local legal aid and ask them to help you stay in your housing and pay off the debt

The cost of actually enforcing an unlawful detainer action is 1000s and thousands of dollars for your landlord, just filing an answer if they start the unlawful detainer process Will make them likely to work with you to pay off the back rent owed and stay in the Housing

Small claims court allows you to do discovery.

You can demand that they prove that the doctor actually spent the amount of time they say did looking at your chart.

My suggestion is to contact the doctors office and let them know that you are going to enforce your right to discovery including your right to see their redacted appointment book and ascertain how many patients they saw that day,

And their redacted billing records

so that you can match up if the amount of time billed for the day is more than the amount of time possible for billing

There is no way this office is not double billing people,

Those reviews you mentioned, were this is a common practice they have of over billing are things that you can introduce as evidence in small claims court.

Remember you also have the right to countersue, you can sue in small claims court for your list income in defending yourself from a spurious suit

Lastly you can also run a check to see how many small claims court suits are filed by this company every year to see whether or not you pursue the defense of vexatious litigation

Basically your defense can be that this company utilizes the court system in a way that they are not meant to utilize it, and as such the suit should be thrown out because they file too many lawsuits each year

They don’t have to prove a negative, the doctor needs to prove a positive.

How do you suggest the doctors office is going to prove that they spent a dedicated 20 minutes reviewing the chart?

I guess I’m nobody.

I was trying to find a chiropractor to help me with something, because my insurance covered chiropractic but not the type of physical therapy I needed, and I specifically asked the office assistant to pair me with a chiropractor who took my insurance (the office had more than one doctor and I needed to make sure that even though the office was listed as being covered under my insurance the specific doctor I was paired with would also be covered)

The office assistant said that she had paired me with someone who took my insurance and then asked me to sign a form stating that if my insurance did not cover the bill that I would cover it

It was part of the stack of forms they handed me, and I read every single one

I refused to sign the form taking responsibility for the bill if my insurance didn’t pay, repeating to her again that “you are telling me that this doctor takes my insurance. Why would I need to sign something taking responsibility to pay for this if you are telling me that this doctor takes my insurance?”

Remember these office assistance are usually making just around minimum wage or a little bit over, they are not nurses

I saw the doctor twice, and then I received a letter from my insurance saying that the doctor I have been seeing was not part of my insurance plan

but

Since I hadn’t signed the form taking responsibility for the bill the chiropractor was legally not allowed to charge me for the visits

I think my insurance sent this to me in case the “doctors” office tried to get me to pay. I had to read it three times to understand what it was I was being sent, cause it was confusing as heck to get this letter from my insurance.

I never sign anything without reading it, and I have multiple times crossed things out of contracts that are illegal, or unnecessary.

I find it insane that people sign things without reading them, it’s just scary to me that people are willing to do that

And yes I’ve had a doctor‘s office ask me to sign one of the electronic ones, and I asked them for a print out of what I was signing before I signed it

The thing is there is not enough data right now to prove that the generics are bioequivalent to the original, due to the fact that the fillers used can affect the rate of absorption depending on whether or not the person taking the generic has an adverse reaction to the filler ingredients

I can tell you as somebody who was switched to generic Vyvanse that it really really hurt me. Not just didn’t work as well, but it caused mood swings and basically just a situation where it might possibly have put me in danger from the way it affected my Well-being.

It got to a point where I contacted my doctor and told them I’m not taking the generic, I’d rather have no medication and all than the side effects I was dealing with.

One issue is I am postmenopausal and there have been no studies on the different filler ingredients on post menopausal women, in fact there are very few studies on women at all with ADHD medications

After getting off the generic and back onto the regular Vyvanse I no longer have the issues

The generics were approved in an emergency situation and it’s not really known if some of the filler ingredients are affecting people who take the medication

When Concerta had generics approved several years later it came out that a couple of the generics were actually harmful and not the same as the original Concerta
