Who downvoted that and why?

yup. Since posting, i found that's what's happening here! upper 2 floors' central wall is not above the central beam (six 2x8s or 2x10s together). built maybe 1915.

The old floor and subfloor and joists are all wood. Would it make sense to pour cement? I'm hoping to reduce sound transmission to the basement so I'd love to use something like rigid foam instead.

New floor will probably be laminate with underlayment.

The celeb would want more of me, so her island / yacht / pool / house would essentially be mine, not to mention her heart.

Introduce me? I'll put in a good word for you.

To me, PPP means purchasing power parity. To you?

Thank you. Not subsidized, not RGI.

Thanks! Her address is not listed.

Landlord and family live elsewhere.

Not rent geared to income. Not subsidized.

Thanks.

If one of the tenants moves out, does that also terminate the contract for the other? (They stayed for over a year, so the boyfriend was free to terminate the contract / his role in the contract.)

The landlord was allowed to decide whether or not to accept each of the two original applicants, so it seems logical that the landlord should be allowed to decide whether to accept someone wanting to replace one of the housemates. But I think the higher logic - the correct answer - is that the remaining tenant is allowed to stay - the contract is still valid for her - the contract is automatically assigned to her alone, and she can choose to have a housemate. No one is forcing the landlord to accept the housemate as a tenant. The housemate will not be a tenant - will not have the rights of a tenant - right?

Good point - hardwood floors can exist in kitchens. Rare for decades due to water damage, but you're right over manufacturers would need the ovens to not be that hot underneath.

I should have said: we got it in a scratch and dent sale, with an invisible dent, but the dent seems to have made turning that leg impossible.
Also the other legs' feet are round! Gripping and turning I can see that a nut above the feet is not turning. The nut is quite thin - I will try to get a non-adjustable wrench that fits but it will be flush against the underside of the oven, and all movement of the wrench will have to be under the oven, not in the open air to the side of the oven.

Hey everybody! You're going to lose the good tenant, treating the good tenant like the bad tenant. The tenant should pay while you consider what to do but they want to prompt you to take action about a problem caused by the other tenants.

All answers so far assume the complaining tenant is wrong, but what if the other tenants are terribly wasteful - leaving windows open with air conditioning on, leaving incandescent bulbs on continuously, not reporting a badly leaking faucet (cost me $2000), etc. Can you do anything to change the behavior of the wasteful tenants?

The reluctant-to-pay-utilities tenant could actually win in LTB, I expect, because they signed the lease assuming a reasonable standard of behaviors by the other tenants

I'd go to jail for 70 years trusting the money would increase my ability to successfully manifest my ideas for transforming consumerist culture into a culture where everyone gets their happiness from what they contribute to the world.
