WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

One more. They have a horse show at the chateau and they warm up before the show out the back (entrance) of the chateau.

That's really cool. I'd like to visit the chateau.

That's horrible this hasn't been taken care of all these years. Housing court appears completely useless!

While I appreciate your righteous indignation, I posted here to show that...these are the types of clients I work with. I've gone to housing court with and for clients. It's a very eye opening experience.

If it makes you feel any better (or worse based on perspective), at least it appears she's not in a public housing (NYCHA) apartment. When the repairs go awry in their buildings, it's WAY worse than this.

So the second set of tools are a bust. I'm wondering if I should just eat the cost and get another gear sport. I don't want to, but I don't want to ruin the screws further. I need to sleep on this.

Wow! That's really horrible that private landlords are able to get away with that crap. I know public housing sucks everywhere, but I had no idea how bad private landlords could be and get away with it.

That has to be very hard for you trying to help your clients but getting nowhere due to the court system's inadequacies.

Are these rent controlled apartments? The reason I ask is because I know a lot of shady and illegal doings have gone on in order to force out tenants, and then sell the buildings to guys like Jared Kushner who renovate the property and raise the rents so that only rich people can afford to live there.

Like many others, I fight the fight with the clients the best way I can, Laura.

Yes, there is a list. For more fun, look at the evictions list embedded in the article and tell me if you keep seeing any common landlotds between both.

Here's the thing, it cuts both ways when you have garbage tenants and slum landlords.

NYS just passed rent reforms, leaning more in the direction of tenants. One of my colleague is a uber small landlord - two apartments. She's got both tenants who are problems, destroying properties and costing thousands of dollars in repairs. Of course, one has been delinquent in rent for about 8 months and she's taken him to housing court.

A very complex issue, to say the least.

NYCHA apartments are rent controlled, public housing units. NYCHA is one of, if not the largest landlords...in the country. Because it's a government agency, things get done at at snail's pace - except for when they want to take clients to court for nonpayment of rent.

So so glad that I was able to go to this event this whole weekend. I feel so tired but it was worth it.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

So I did manage to rest a bit this weekend but looks like I now have a bad back because I overdid it helping out my parents by cutting their hedge. Wonderful.

Summer decided to arrive this week in a very big way!

After all the cool and cold weather this is going to be a shock to the system.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

And now I have hiccups.

I really hate hiccups. I have my method for getting rid of them but it's a bit hard to describe.

There's a guy in the Guinness World Records (I believe) who had hiccups for most of his adult life. Can't imagine that....

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Here I am eating a bagel and apparently that's enough to shock my diaphragm into spasm. Wonderful. I really like how this week is turning out already.

Sounds like you're having a great day....

I've found it hard to find a good bagel since I left Canada...

I really want to go to Canada. Heck even just USA again would be amazing.
