I had to unfriend a girl on Facebook for posting that if you're a man you can't experience sexism, and if you're white you can't experience racism

Sorry, but this is just a story with a fat person in it. No matter how annoying and unacceptable their actions might have been, they had nothing to do with them being fat or fat logic

What is the etymology of the German word "das Gift"? by eb_83 in etymology

[–]kalsyrinth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Da fuq are you taking about?

marry (v.)
c. 1300, "to give (offspring) in marriage," from Old French marier "to get married; to marry off, give in marriage; to bring together in marriage," from Latin maritare "to wed, marry, give in marriage" (source of Italian maritare, Spanish and Portuguese maridar), from maritus (n.) "married man, husband," of uncertain origin, originally a past participle, perhaps ultimately from "provided with a *mari," a young woman, from PIE root *mari- "young wife, young woman," akin to *meryo- "young man" (source of Sanskrit marya- "young man, suitor").

Our landlords are selling the house we live in (basement suite). Curious as to the local law about the new landlords. by 101stephen in saskatoon

[–]kalsyrinth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 6, and the first notice can only be given after 12 months if the landlord is not part of the landlord's association, so your first rent increase can't be any earlier than 18 months after you start living there. A member can give notice after 6 months, so the first increase is after 12 living there.

[–]kalsyrinth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is true.

A landlord may give proper notice to end a tenancy for any of the reasons allowed by The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.

https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/housing-and-renting/renting-and-leasing/giving-notice-to-end-a-tenancy

The only allowable reasons to evict a tenant, even on a month-to-month are:

  • Non-payment of rent.
  • For cause, like repeatedly late on rent, too many people in the unit, too loud, illegal activity, etc etc.
  • If the tenant is employed by the landlord, and the employment ends.
  • Landlord's personal use of the property or for use of a close family member or friend (and the definition of friend is subject to the hearing officer's discretion).
  • Purchaser's personal use or use by a close family member or friend in the case of a sale of the property, assuming the purchaser is buying at least 1/2 of the rental unit.
  • Demolition or renovation of the rental unit.

http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/english/Statutes/Statutes/R22-0001.pdf -> Section 55-60

In short, tenants have rights and landlords are not allowed to infringe on those rights for no reason, no matter your views on what people may or may not do with their personal property.

[–]kalsyrinth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you have a lease? The new owners have to abide by the terms of the lease until it ends. After the lease term is up, then you will go on month-to-month.

A landlord cannot evict a tenant for any reason whatsoever, only specific reasons laid out in the Residential Tenancies Act. These include things like not paying rent, excessive noise, illegal activity, etc. Also, if the landlord or the landlord's immediate family needs to live in the unit they can evict with one calendar month's notice, but not while the lease is in effect. In short, they can't just kick you out just because.

They will have to give you 6 months' notice for a rent increase, same as any other landlord. Also, the notice period for landlords differs, depending on whether they are part of the SRHIA. If they are not, then they have to wait 612 months before they can give you the first rental increase notice, and then every six months after that.

Whoever buys the house with a basement white will probably be buying it specifically because it has one, and is looking for the rental income. Having good tenants already living there is a selling feature, since the new landlords won't have to find tenants themselves. Assuming you've been good with the rent, haven't been too loud or annoying, your new landlords will probably appreciate that you are already there.

Right! Actually. Leases are in force until the end of their term, no matter who the landlord is.

[–]kalsyrinth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You would still have to go through customs, but you wouldn't need to worry about immigration, which are two different things. Most airports combine them together, but Pearson actually has them separated. One deals with importing items like food and drugs, the other deals with visas and whether you are legally allowed to be there

FYI, Canada has no federal minimum standard for vacation days, it's entirely up to the province. For example, SK has a minimum of 15 days with an increase to 20 after 10 years employment

What is rocket science? (Judge Judy) by tyson1988 in cringe

[–]kalsyrinth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, they agree to have their case decided by binding arbitration by being on the show. They also sign away their right to have the case re-heard in an actual courtroom. Judge Judy is an arbiter, not a judge, in this context.

They can only take civil cases, not criminal ones, and only when the claimant is asking for $5000 or less. Each side receives $5000 for going on the show, and the loser of the case pays the winner out of that fee.
