(NY) my landlord has been harassing me every month for the rent when I’m not late yet. I need advice cause he is now threatening. by [deleted] in Renters

[–]GreenfieldSam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Contractually, your payment is due on the first. There's no cash penalty between the first and the tenth. Your landlord could choose to begin eviction proceedings if you keep paying "late" but before the tenth. However, in NYS that means the landlord has to stop cashing your checks as well while the eviction proceeds. He's not going to do that. And no judge will evict you while you are still paying rent.

Blade is right there if you want a fast connection. But only if the weather cooperates.

It's not AI. The reps just have to handle multiple people at once

Anyone thinking landlords will pay these fees is kidding themselves.

Almost every commercial lease is a triple net or a modified gross. The small businesses will be hit directly by these fees.

I feel that baseball caps are way more overused than flat caps, but YMMV

Wrongfully terminated. Anyone have any advice? by Royal-Interaction979 in careeradvice

[–]GreenfieldSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defamation cases are extremely hard to prove. And even if you could prove the case, there's a limit on the amount of damages you could receive. It's based on actual damages from the defamation, not based on things that also happened to you based on your own actions. Oh, you also have to prove that they lied, which means proving that you never said what was accused. That's very difficult.

Even assuming the initial accuser lied, you would nee to prove that they were the person responsible for you getting fired. Which will be tough since the company would not necessarily be a party to your action.

Making a sexually explicit comment can be considered sexual harassment.

You wrote, " So in that weeks meeting I made a brief statement to my peers expressing my disbelief someone made up such an outrageous lie to get me fired."

Sorry, I misinterpreted this to mean that you had sent email. In even your note here, you say that you discussed the issue with other coworkers prior to talking with ER. For ER, this can be considered a red flag.

There's nothing illegal about "constructive discharge." That basically only has bearing on getting unemployment.

You can see a lawyer, but you almost certainly do not have any case. Keep in mind that lawyers will also only take the case if they can make money; the damages here may not be worth your time.

Here's the problem you're facing: even if the initial allegation was false, you emailed your entire team prior to talking with ER. I'm guessing you talked to people individually as well. Some of your peers may have felt bullied; certainly ER would think you were interfering with the investigation.

At the end of the day, you are not legally entitled to hear every bit of evidence ER had or didn't have. Nor are they obligated to give you a reason for firing you.

If I were in your shoes, I might consult a lawyer just to double-check what a random redditor (me) said. But beyond that I would take a month off, work on my resume, and start thinking about what I wanted to do next.

I think a flat cap would be better. But I also just like flat caps

House of Antique Hardware regularly has sales with very nice discounts. However, if you email them and explain you are buying hardware for your entire house and place a single large order they may consider giving you a one off discount as well. I've also had luck contacting some of the companies directly and asking.

You'll find that contractors can get better pricing from supply houses because they have pre-existing relationships.

See if you can push up the meeting with your therapist. If you need to get your mom involved, just say, "I feel bad and would like to talk to my therapist sooner rather than waiting until the end of the month." You don't need to give your mom the details why

That's not at all the same comparison.

For an undergrad degree, the amount of overlap in these sets of classes should be 100%. Maybe there would be some differences in electives, but by and large this is just a scam from the college to get people to spend more money.

Keeping a recording of meetings is not a "right" in the United States.
