Our landlord is saying that we need to pay the full months rent for Sept. & cant end our lease til Sept. 30th. But we moved in on Sept. 15, 2006, & our lease states it ends on Sept. 15, 2007. Do we have to pay the full months rent or half, if we are planning on turning over the keys on Sept. 15th?

The Arabs were sitting on a gold mine and did not know it. Then along came foriegn oil exploration and discovered the middle east is full of oil. The foriegn oil companies told the Arabs that they would drill for the oil, pay for the drilling, and not ask any favors in return. Yeah! Right!
Arab's control a lot of oil. American oil companies control a lot of market. Exxon flips a bird to the shieks and laughs all the way to the bank.
The shieks do not control EXXON. EXXON controls them and will screw anyone "without loyality to government or people". If EXXON can sell gas in Europe for more than they can in America they advertise to get Americans to conserve on gas. It is all legal and capitalistic. Your next door nieghbor Sally is 62 years old. She has not driven a car in 8 years. She bought 15,000 shares of EXXON before she retired. She needs a little more income to take church cruises. She doesn't give a damn how much you pay for gas. Sally wants to party.

My friend lied on his app and said he lived with his father for the past year when in reality he was evicted for non payment at another apartment complex, but this place he's at now has already accepted his app and he's moved in. Do you think they will find out and evict him? And does it work thatt way?

Okay, so I have been interviewing for the past month for jobs, nothing really came through. Then, out of desperation & the fact that my savings is dwindling to nothing I took a job that I am waaay over-qualified for. Then, wouldn't you know it, my dream job, making nearly twice the pay called today & offered me the position. The problem is that I am still "training" at this current job & won't start my "real" job until 08/13/07. I need the money from the job that I am over-qualified for in the interim. Should I give notice, or just leave?

I recently purchased a home, I was set to close on it 2 months before my lease was up. I posted an ad for a Sublette and decided on a young family and contacted the office and had the couple do so as well. They filled out an application and were approved a set to move. I move out clean everything, pay for new carpet and repaint the walls so it is like new for the people when they move in the next day. The next day I find out from my apartment management that the couple decided not to move in, I discuss with the manager what I can do and I am told that I will be responsible for the remainder of my rent until they can find a new tenet. 2 weeks later I get a letter in the mail saying I owe the apartment 3000.00 total 1600.00 for the remaining rent until my lease expires in August and 1400.00 in misc and subletting fees and if this amount is not paid in full in 2 business days they will turn me over to collections. What can I do to protect myself?

There was a news article on Yahoo a few months back, on people paying others with good credit with great credit cards to place them on their accounts, ordering an additional credit card in the name of the purchaser (bad credit guy), therefore increasing the credit of the other guy. The card will be sent to the one ordering it, and they can then tear the card-up, thus the process being relatively safe. Did anyone see that article? I would like to do that, so if someone could help, It would greatly appreciated!

Shoddy piece of **** craftmanship they don't cover but for 3 yrs? Is there any recourse. No receipt, but bought at Wal-Mart for $90 or so. Aren't safes supposed to be safe?

Ok, so I'm totally going nuts trying to get straight answers about unemployment. I work in a position where there is a one-year working test period, and it is up in about a month. My employer has notified me that I will not be employed beyond this period, due to the fact that they just don't think I'm a good fit for the agency. (no willful misconduct) They have offered me an opportunity to resign rather than have the working test period failed, just so I can still say I've never been terminated.

CT law states that you can be denied benefits if you're fired for willful misconduct or if you quit without just cause attributable to the employer.

I tried calling DOL, and he just kept repeating "either way, you'll need to attend a hearing." "The only way you won't have to attend a hearing is if you're laid off." I get it... I wanna know, if the employer tells me I won't have a job in a month, is that just cause to quit, or will I likely lose my case?

Today, I went for a stupid interview for an admin post. I have indicated in my resume all my working experiences. However, the interview kept asking me if I have done [abc] or [efg] or [opq] before, all of which I have not done before.

I told him whatever exp I have is all in my resume and he told me to "wait for a decision". Immediately, I know that the game is over.

I mean, what is this? Whether I fit their bill or not is so obvious from my resume. What is the purpose of a resume if the interviewer don't even look at them? I feel that it is a waste of my time asking me to go all the way down just to tell me that I do not fit their requirements. So frustrating....

I just feel that they are so unprofesional. Would you be mad if you were in my shoes?

Two allocation bases have been proposed - salary and headcount (number of employees). Personnel costs are expected to be $1,000,000. The following data relate to the allocation:

(Since this is a spreadsheet imagine (or draw) a rectangle 3 cells wide and two cells high.)

Top left: Blank, Top Middle: Financial Planning, Top Left: Business Consulting.

Next line- Left: Salaries, Middle: $10,000,000, Right: $5,000,000

Bottom Line- Left: Headcount, Middle: 150 persons, Right: 50 Persons.

Required work from me: Prepare a schedule showing the allocations to the two divisions using each allocation base.

Now I have another block of spreadsheet cells 6 across and 3 high.

Starting on the left: Allocation base Proportion, (then to the right), Amount to be Allocated:, Financial Planning Amount, Amount, Business Consulting Proportion, Amount.
Next line is labeled Salaries and the five cells to the right are blank. Bottom line is labeled Headcount and the five cells to the right are blank.

Perhaps I should have patented the idea, and sold rights to a manufacturer, but I think I would have to pay rights to Rag Doll, who designed the Teletubbies.

I recently rented a home in central Davis and it was infested with cockroaches. I moved right out and now live in West Sacramento. We moved there due to my husband's job change and were hoping to buy a house there. Does all of Davis have this problem with roaches? It would be so convenient for us to live there since his job is there. I am traumatized though, and worry about buying a house there. Was this a fluke, or is it only a problem in Central Davis? What's to stop these little buggers from infesting other areas? Please tell me what area of Davis is known to be cockroach-free? There were 4 different species infesting that house, and the house was very clean and nice otherwise.

My ex-fiance and I have a home together and we've decided to go our separate ways. The home is in GREAT condition and its only 2 years old.
We really dont want to make money off it.... just want enough to pay the mortgage or possibly trade it in for something smaller in the area...neither one of us can afford this 275k (4br/2.5ba)home by ourselves but could afford something like a townhome.
Any investors out there...homes in this are will be worth a fortune and its a shame we can't hold onto it!!!
Has anyone tried callin these ads? What do they have to offer? P.S. I live in Forsyth County...one of the fastest growing counties in the US.
