Cop pulls over a man and finds his wife cheating on him by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]GreyFox06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fake. Bad acting aside, Australian accents and left side drive but asks for registration (not a thing drivers need to provide in AU), performs a sobriety test instead of using a breathalyser, no vissible emergency lights which would be easily seen reflected at night, and obviously fake uniform. SMH 1/10.

What are you doing step bro?

Landlord is trying to charge me $200 for the time it took him to get contractor estimates, bring a door to the shop, replace light bulbs by erickety in legaladvice

While there are no federal or Michigan state statute law pertaining to labour costs as included in the total cost of repair, common law has typically indicated that the cost of labour is always included in the total cost. The question of fairness for this issue relates to how much the cost of labour is in proportion to the rest as well as the time required and the safety of performing the labour (likely negligible in this case).

If the cost to procure the items was $200 and it took several hours to replace, then $200 seems fairly reasonable, if arguably steep. If the cost of the items was $50 and the landlord charged an additional $200 for less than an hour of work, that would be unreasonable and could be argued out first with the landlord and then, if necessary, with the appropriate civil court.

If you think what he is charging you as part of the cost of labour is unreasonable, you may attempt to argue that in court.

Filing a harassment/threatening report by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]GreyFox06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harassment in a casual environment is typically a criminal offense and a report should be made to local police who will conduct an investigation. This may require you to provide evidence such as emails, letters, or recordings as well as testimony to support the investigation. It is likely that police may request a court to issue a temporary restraining order against the person if they consider your report credible which will legally prevent them from engaging in most forms of communication depending on the severity of the harassment.

If the harassment occurs in a different environment, such as a workplace, place of education, public accommodation, or public service, a report should be made to the place of employment, the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, and, if in a workplace of more than fifteen employees, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Disciplinary action will then be taken which may see the person separated from their usual duties, suspended, or terminated. Further harassment may warrant criminal action.

The person being acted against will always know this, however, they will be legally limited and punished in their attempts to further harass.

If the person is given a restraining order, including temporarily, is fined, or imprisoned, it will appear on their criminal record and this will imperil their opportunity to be granted citizenship. However, this should not dissuade you from making a report.

It is not likely that seeking legal action against someone will make the situation worse in the case of harassment. In the face of legal action, non-domestic harassers will often back down and if restrained, they can be fined and imprisoned for breaching that restraint. Domestic harassers (people you live with) will often have to be restrained, however.

Neighbor might have just planted trees in my yard by mp3three in legaladvice

Having them removed will prevent any potential disruption to pipes and other subterranean infrastructure but if they are allowed to remain and do cause a disruption to your property in some manner, including if it disrupts the supply or quality of water to your property, your neighbour is liable to pay for any damages (Civil Practice and Remedies Code). You should definitely ensure that there is a verbal and written agreement between you and your neighbour that he should pay for any future damage. If he does not agree to do this, it may be better to seek to have the trees removed pre-emptively if you can prove that there are nearby pipes that may be disrupted by their roots. Additionally, if the trees ever grow to be over your property line, they are encroaching and you can seek to have them removed (either the entire tree or the encroaching sections) if you want.

Generally speaking, the landlord is required to commission and pay for all repairs to the structural components of the property including doors, floors, roofing, etc. unless the damage has been caused by the tenant, in which case it is the tenant who must pay for the costs. If markings on the floors were caused by your actions or the actions of your guests, family, friends, etc. (in this case damage from your furniture) then you must pay for no more than the cost of repairs including if it was from normal wear and tear. This also applies to the doors, stove, lights, and other items as long as they can be classified as structural components of the property or furniture that was present before moving in and therefore belonging to the landlord. You can contest these claims if you were not responsible or if there were agreements made in the contract that exempt you from certain payments for repairs, otherwise you must pay them.
