I am under the impression that people are permitted to give gifts, in the form of cash, up to a certain amount and write it off there taxes. Is it illegal to ask someone you dont know to give you a cash gift and have them write it off? This is something I was question after recently purchasing a house.

I have Entomophobia ( fear of insects). How do I legally get out of my lease agreement with my apartment if it's roach infested.

Before you answer here are some facts:

A tenant in this building was recently evicted because her apt was infested badly. Now the roaches are spreading to other apts. Management had the entire building sprayed (my apt sprayed several times), but roaches are still here. The manager says she can have them bomb my apt, but I have 2 small children and don't want them exposed to chemicals. My Entomophobia has gotten so bad since living here that now I have to seek therapy (seriously...it's that bad). There was one in my kitchen and I had my mother come over ( she lives about 15 miles away) to kill it. It's truly a dibilatating fear. If the apts decide to not let me out of my lease, can I take legal actions?

I have been with my bank for 7 years.
Recently i had someone steal my details and my account was completely emptied. They stopped my online banking and the bank maching chewed my card.
I am travelling all the time in my job and find it very hard to work with my bank on the phone.
I ordered a bank 6 weeks ago and i never got it. I eventually ordered a total of 6 times over a month and half period.
When the bank explained the problem they had made a few human errors.These human errors nearly cost me my job as i was unable to pay rent where i was staying in spain and had to come home. Now that i am home i know i have atleast 2k in my bank but when i went to withdraw some money its not available. I had to borrow money again and had to walk 5 miles to get home in the rain. This is such a big problem for me and i want to know if the bank can compensate me in anyway.Thanks for any help and advice.

For 2 furnished rooms with private bath and entrance in private home with the first months rent to be paid on moving in. I already spent the money and now have to advertise all over to find someone else for the first of July. They asked for the money back yesterday the 23rd of June, last week of the month when the deposit was given in cash on the 16th of June. Am I obligated to give money back??? I told them if and when I can rent unit again I will give them the money back, in all fairness, but because it is now summer in one week and all the kids are off school for summer, I fear I will now be too late to find someone else as most people already have the rental units found for the summer as I live in a small tourist town.

Ok I will try and tell the story quickly… Here’s the deal… I went for training to become a Head Cashier, I am on the schedule 2-3 days out of the week as a Head Cashier. But I am not a Head Cashier according to my HR & I won’t be receiving a raise. Also, to top that off I am only PT, and was told they can’t give me full time. I asked for 3 days off now keep in mind I’m part time. They told me no because that week they needed me for 40 hours. So I am working 40 hours, 8 hours a day, Full Flex but they can’t give me FT. Why should I let them do this to me? What should I do? Should I quit? SHOULD I CHANGE MY AVAILABILITY SINCE Im NOT GETTING FULL TIME? SHOULD I TELL HIM NOT TO PUT ME ON THE SCHEDULE FOR HEAD CASHIER UNTIL I GET A RAISE?

To read my entire story… the unshortened version read my blog on the website below:

Please give me advice

Job search costs from past years tax deductible; I didn't realize that they were until recently, so I wonder if I can do anything for past years now retrospectively. I can assure you that I can easily reconstruct who I interviewed with in the past due to my various e-mails and thank you letter files.

A longish story! (Thanks Shih Tzu Lady) Briefly...I had a verbal aggreement for my rent to be paid by standing order middle of month when got paid. Landlord, even tho' reminded them numerous times of payment date (advance paid up to and including this date) tried to take it beginning of month so incurring bank charges. Plus used valuable time sorting out in person at bank. Notified I wanted reimbursment (half incurred charges). Rent now being paid on time as to original agreement. But now threatening to evict if they don't get reimbursment back! Only half story cos whole thing a farce, ignored verbal, contractual agreements and tenancy regs. Quite annoyed and think I was very good only asking for half incurred charges. Offered 25% so really admitted liability. CAB visit out of question as can't get time off work! Thanks for your time and consideration.
