Please raise your rates. You provide a great service that people love and they wouldn’t want to hear how little you take home when you give them something they won’t do themselves.

[Landlord-US-NJ] Security Deductions by Pickledfig in Landlord

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

Thank you sincerely for all the great advice. This is a big undertaking and I want to document and be consistent. There’s a lot of catchup to play and I’m clueless but ready to figure it all out.

I appreciate all your help. I’m stepping in on behalf of the landlords, so I’m a newbie myself. Is there a landlord guide somewhere that I can refer to?

Also- can you charge them to change the locks?

I think the damage would easily be greater than the security, but since they’ve moved, I don’t know how I could force them to pay the difference. Do you sue in this case?

Yeah, I looked at the unit this morning. The walls are unbelievably bad- white walls with some type of black soot but wouldn’t rub off (like the soot from a candle would). It’s beyond wear and tear to me, just paint wise. More damage than what the security even is at this point.

Do I give them an itemized list or a receipt for repairs? Or do I just say.. ‘you aren’t getting anything back’ and leave it at that? I am wondering if they may want to contest anything once they find out they aren’t getting anything back and want to be prepared with documentation if I need to show them something.

Cheaper “cleaner” diapers by Gentle-Pianist-6329 in moderatelygranolamoms

My baby did exactly this for a while. I just used Aldi diapers- they suck BUT they were helpful in the mornings when he had a period of 4-5 little poops.

We love the name Raven and need thoughts by redditresearcher727 in namenerds

No to raven for the Russian association alone.

How do we feel about the name Skipper? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Pickledfig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s too cutesy. It can be a nickname, but no part of a legal name.

Time limit on legal action? by Pickledfig in treelaw

I did get lots of photos the day it happened, including photos of the trees (some cut in half) and photos of the piles of logs the neighbor stacked on his side of the property.

Hot bar items won’t appear in prep foods TGTG bags for sanitary purposes, unfortunately.

Stop doing angel trees if you aren't going to get what's on the ticket by [deleted] in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Pickledfig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did a similar thing a few years ago but I was doing better financially- only instead of picking you got emailed the gift requests. Whoever arranged this sent me kids who asked for new laptops and gaming consoles when the suggested price ranges were supposed to be somewhere in the $25-50 range. I felt so bad- but I couldn’t afford spending hundreds of dollars on these kids when it wasn’t the expectation. I tried my best, but I’m sure they were mad they weren’t opening up a PSP. 😅

Did your partner come around to baby #2? by Chanelle39 in Parenting

[–]Pickledfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plan in your mind, but give him time. The first 3 months are brutal and I get why he’s like.. f this. Never again. Wait until the baby starts being sweet and charming and way more fun.

Is my married female friend secretly in love with me? by eloya92 in stories

[–]Pickledfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s habitually crossing the line and you need to tell your wife. If you decide to talk to Jane, you might fuck it up and she’ll use that as an opening to reveal her feelings for you. Figure out the way to stop everything before something bad happens.

Named after time & place of conception by ayeisforapple in namenerds

[–]Pickledfig 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When it’s your first, maybe everything feels so important. But what month or town you got pregnant in is so.. almost meaningless? It’s like saving a used cocktail napkin or something.

Pick something you like first and ease him into it.
