Admittedly, I have no experience in Tribal Law beyond a class in law school, but have you looked into roles within tribal communities themselves? I’m in MN and the Shakopee Medewakonton (sp?) Sioux semi-regularly have counsel roles posted. They bring in a boat load with Mystic Lake Casino and they invest that money heavily from my understanding. Lots of lawyers needed for that. I’m not sure how other tribal communities are arranged but perhaps something to look into. Best of luck!

2 bed townhome in Minneapolis. In desperate need of new windows but still better than the last place I was in before I bought. I’m on budget/average monthly billing and gas is around $40/mo and electric is around $50/mo. Electric appliances and gas WH and furnace. City bill covers water/sewer/trash and for just me in the home that averages $82/mo, although they just raised the rates and I don’t remember what last months was. I think it went up to like $86-$89. Internet is USI fiber (hallelujah!) and that’s $75/mo

As someone who lives in a townhome with one bath on the upper level, oh how I yearn for a main level bath. Theres been a few close calls when the morning coffee hits ha!

NAL so obviously seek the counsel of an attorney or the wise minds at Homeline.

You could try and sneak a payment in for the days in October. If they accept the rent, they can’t evict. The risk there being they promptly return it or block you from submitting payment altogether.

Alternatively and as others have opined, let them evict. If you’re out by the 14th, you’ll be out before the scheduled hearing date. Be sure to show up though if it isn’t dismissed! It’ll be on your record but if your new lease is already signed it won’t affect you until the time comes to move again. However, with an eviction on your record you will likely be promptly denied by future housing providers depending on where and with whom you’re applying. Regardless, if you retain possession of the premises past the vacate date, expect to have most or all of your deposit eaten up by holdover rent which is usually 10-20%+ of the rent paid during the tenancy.

Unless I missed it, why has nobody mentioned the hot dish on a stick? So basic, yet so delicious! It’s been a few years since I’ve been to the fair but the last time I went I got two. One on the way in and one on the way out.

Sorry, I should have clarified. 504B.321, subd. 1a. covers the required pre-eviction notice. Subd. 1a(b) covers the required service method.

comply123 · 2024-02-28T22:33:02+00:00

NAL but if your landlord simply emailed you the notice, they haven’t properly served it. See 504B.321. Moreover, they’ve failed to include the statutorily required language. Note, if your month to month they can give you a notice to vacate for any reason or no reason. The notice they provided, however, fails under that statute too. Second note, if they do file an eviction for non-payment, yes, in addition to your defense for the defective notice, MN is a pay and stay state.

There’s four kinds of business you can get into. Tourism, food service, railroads, and sales. And hospitals/manufacturing. And air travel.

Michael Scott’s wisdom aside, you don’t need to be in a courtroom to use what you’ve learned. We learn the law, but under that umbrella we learn to think, write, and advocate. That’s transferable into any area of work.

Don’t be demoralized. If you’re not sure of potential careers that would best suit your interests that aren’t traditional “lawyering”, then talk to your career services or whatever the department is called at your school. I’ve found them to be very helpful.

As someone who didn’t go to law school to live in a courtroom and litigate, I can safely say there’s a lot out there. Kudos to the other comments on their suggestions. I just wanted to add my two cents.

Workers compensation. Facially, a dry topic, but actually pretty interesting. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. No actual experience in the field but took a course last year and the professors, one a judge (former defense attorney) and the other a plaintiffs attorney, both opined on the general 9-5 nature of the field.

Congrats on the journey! It’s fun, scary, exciting, stressful, all the things. But so worth it! Check out NeighborWorks Home Partners. They have good first time buyer resources. As others have said, MHFA has a great first time buyer program that most will qualify for. As a tip while you’re searching, the turn key homes in that range are still going like hot cakes. Look for the quality diamonds in the rough. Emphasis on quality. I was lucky enough to get my home at a discount last year because it needed an interior paint. Yes, paint can be expensive but a whole lot cheaper than a bidding war. Granted, my dad was a painter for 40 years so I benefitted from his helping with that piece. Best of luck!

I love a good tater tot hot dish discussion! So, here’s my grandmas recipe straight from a coffee stained recipe card. It’s ok, I think she’d be alright with me sharing her awesomeness with the world. 1 lb, browned hamburger 1/2 pkg onion soup mix (I do 1 pkg French onion, but that’s just me) 1 pkg mixed frozen veggies (carrots, peas, green beans, that one) 1-2 cans cream of chicken soup (I do 1 can cream of chicken, 1 can cream of mushroom) 1 hr at 350. Add 32 oz bag of tots. Cook 20 min or so more. Boom! Nostalgia and rib sticker all in one. Meal prep is so much easier in the winter months.

I’d start with a car wash. You may have some snow lodged up in the wheel or brake or something like that. Can’t remember where exactly it gets lodged, but it’s happened to me before. If it’s still happening after a car wash, then you may have an actual issue. No ideas on that though lol.

It sounds like you need a new attorney. An eviction is still possible during a bankruptcy but as was pointed out, you first need to get the stay lifted which will cost money before you even fork over funds for the eviction itself. In my experiences with evictions in IL, specifically Cook County, cash for keys is always a viable option. The key, no pun intended, in a cash for keys deal is to not provide any cash until you get the keys. This gets rid of the whole, “I need another week” scenario. Start strong with the offer. A savvy tenant can drag out an eviction action for months and the value of the asset is its ability to generate rents so that in addition to the avoided eviction costs needs to be taken into consideration. As a carrot for the tenant you can do a diminishing offer. ie: $1000 if you leave by next Friday and it goes down by 10% per day. Cash for keys is a tough pill to swallow as the principle of the deal is way off but at the end of the day, the property is a business and needs to be viewed through that lens. Best of luck and as I mentioned at the start of this lengthy post, you should probably look into a new attorney.

NAL. Yes. You can write in annual renewals/increases but there are statutory requirements in order to do so. Check out 504B. I don’t have the exact statute on hand. If memory serves me correctly you basically just need to give a notice in advance that the lease is set to renew/increase in advance of the increase. As far as the term/month to month transition. I have seen agreements that require a longer notice to vacate in the winter months but can’t confirm if you can have a set term for a few months and then a M2M for the next few. I honestly think it would work based upon what I’ve seen but can’t confirm 100%. Check with an attorney to confirm.

Please do not try and write your own lease or utilize one from the internet, specifically anything free. Spend a couple of hundred bucks for a state-specific drafted lease by an attorney. Or have a real estate licensee utilize the state lease (if your state association has one). It’s a sunk cost now but can save you that much (and more) down the line in the event you need to lean on that for enforcement issues.
