Home & Garden - 31 July 2006

This damage was caused by the window fitter when he fitted the window, an improvement the landlord wanted carried out. We have 6 weeks left due to notice on property as she wants the property for her sister to move into but now she has threatened prosecution orders if any further damage is done. We are on the local housing list for a bigger house as we are overcrowded, short of a bedroom for our 14 month old son who cannot share with his 2 elder sisters and have another baby on the way. We fear that if she prosecutes that this will look bad to the local housing association we have applied to and we will not be rehoused. She has accused us of this over the phone and sent several abusive text messages regarding photos of the house and 4 witnesses. I've asked her for names of these people and what proof she has that this damage was caused by us as surely without evidence she cannot prosecute? I've received no reply to my request. Where do we stand on this legally?

my son had crayons in his pockets, and I didn't check before I threw them in the washer, so now I have a load of clothes that has crayons all over them. Is there any way to get it out?

I may need to move to NYC in a few weeks and I need to find an affordable apartment in Manhattan or Brooklyn for 1000 USD per month or less. I prefer to live alone, i'm ok with one bedroom or studio. What are the nice neighborhoods in Brooklyn where there are things to do and it is safe? What agencies can I contact, who can I really trust?

When I get my clothes out of the washer they smell good (like detergent). I immediately put them into my gas dryer, with a dryer sheet, and they come out smelling musty. Why? Can I clean it somehow? It doesn't look dirty inside.
It is a VERY old dryer, can that have something to do with it?

The squeaking floor has a brand new carpet on it, so I cannot drill nails in there or access the floor from below. Any suggestions on improving this problem would be appreciated.

Some bleach spilled on a nylon leash, but we didn't realize it until the bleach had crystallized on the metal and a little bit on the cloth. I tried soaking it in warm water to see if it would melt off, but it didn't work. I don't really care what it looks like but would like to salvage the leash, as we have 3 dogs. Any way to get it off?
