Business & Finance - 4 August 2007

I rented out my home last November to a lady who paid me an $800 deposit, and was supposed to pay $800 in rent. From the beginning she as a bad tenant, the rent was always late, and was never paid in full, instead was a little here & a little there, & most the time was never paid by the time it was due again. I let her get away with too much. Her rent is due on the 14th of the month, it is the 4th of the month and she has only paid $500 of last months & I cant get ahold of her. I don't have her work number because she switched jobs. The water &electricity have been disconnected at the house because the bills were past due &her kids are going around neighbors houses for a place to stay. I am living in GA right now because my husband is stationed here in the Army. Can someone give me a sample eviction notice? And tell me what she is required to pay? (in the lease I said late charges were $30 after 10 days and $10 per day thereafter) Plus how long does she have to get out?

my side porch because it is on her property, what are my rights? I guess that the porch was built 30 years ago and somewhat on her property. Than I buy it. What are the laws in Pennsylvania? Is the porch "grandfathered" into my possession? Will the realitor have to pay for the removal? If I get my atty. to represent me, who pays for his services? It is Saturday and I am anxious for opinions, since I can not contact my atty. until monday. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My husband has recently become an independant contractor and I'm left to figure out the tax aspects of the deal. I know that 15.3% of the income is withheld for SS and Medicare, but what is % then for the actual Federal Withholding? I am guessing it's around 5% for the Ohio and school district, so any help yuo can give me would be GREAT!!!
Thanks!

I am helping my best friend clear up her finances and she has many, many old collection notices on her credit report that are helping to drag her rating down. They are probably 4-7 years old. Do these ever fall off? Or get written off? It seems like they just keep transferring them to other agencies. She also has a Household Bank credit card in collections - should this be paid first or the old debt? She tried to make arrangements with the collection agency for Household but they wanted much more a month than she could give them, and they refused to make arrangements so right now they are getting nothing. Help - I am not sure where to start. :(

I hate being stuck in an office. I don't know everything but I know a little about a lot. I love money, the night life, the lime light, beautiful people, exquisite food, fine wine, casino's, and tropical places. What do you think?

No stupid replies just to get points, please.

If a business hasn't received an electricity bill for 3 years and the estimated cost is £500 per month. Should they accrue for £6000 each year for three years, or will it cumulate and the accrual liability be £6,000, then £12,000, then £18,000 for each of the three years?

Do employers who would refuse to employ somone on the basis of

Interest in ROCK (metal, nu-metal, emo etc),/PSY Trance(rave) music with the coloured radical haircut/tattoos etc to go with it.

Maybe they are into swinging, an ex pole dancer or porn star.

Deserve their company to go bankrupt or clients reject them as not basing their choice of employee on the base of:


Brains.

Skill

Qualification

Experience.

Talent

Passion for the job

Niceness

etc

Logical thinking

Rationality

Crerativity

Problem solveing..

Being prepared with back ups so can deal with things when they go wrong

Having the right equipment to do the job

Ie what I deam professional

But instead on image. Oh and a pole dancer could get staff fit with morning work outs and a porn star should be good with cameras. Not to mention an ex lap dancer should be unbelievably effective at selling to blokes

She showed us a few properties this past week--and, while we were looking at the last one she gave us the paper to sign. I felt pressured because she claimed how busy she was and how she was taking special time to show us the houses etc. So, we signed it and I asked her to find out how much the people paid for these properties and how long they lived there. She emailed us the answers--but, when we drove (by ourselves) we asked a neighbor, and it turns out our realtor got the information backwards--and mixed up about who purchased which one when and why the people were selling! Then she called us Fri and said the one that we expressed interest in (which has been on the market since Feb) now magically has someone who may place a bid! How do I get rid of her? And, don't I need the contract back? What do you think of this lady?
Doesn't it sound shady?

Sorry the ? is so long
Thanks
