Last week I was offered a job out of town I had to take. I am currently living in an apartment building and I am no longer in a lease with the property owners, I am simply on a month to month payment plan.
Here is my problem, I spoke with the owners and told them I was going to vacate by the end of the month. They told me that I have to give them a 60 day notice and whether or not I occupy the building I am responsible for paying rent for those 60 days.
I reviewed the rental agreement and it said this: Occupancy shall be on a month to month tenancy after expiration of the lease. This periodic month to month tenancy can be terminated only on the last day of the month by a written notice at least 60 days before the termination date.
I read this back to the landlord and said there was nothing stating I would have to pay for those 60 days. She told me that's what they meant. So, can you IMPLY what you mean in a contract, or do you have to put exactly what you mean?

I was in London this weekend and saw a bodyguard with a female client walking through the City. As the pair passed me the bodyguard's lapel fanned open wide enough for me to see he was wearing a pistol in an underarm holster.

If this bodyguard is non-military, is it legal for him to be carrying a sidearm?

Any info on the relevant laws gratefully received- is it likely the bodyguard was working 'freelance'? Thanks

I think that with a Dem in the White House and Democrat control of both houses of Congress, that the terrorists do not dare launch a massive attack such as 9/11. Should they do so then BOTH parties will agree that action must be taken.

The terrorist tactic of divide and conquor will have failed then. They will have to wait until the Republicans hold all the cards once more before they dare attack again.

This is just a thought that occurred to me, not necessarily a statement of fact. But it is something worth pondering. What do you think. I welcome answers here or in my e-mail.

I mean that under the "patriot act" we have lost more personal constitutional freedoms than at any time in the history of the US, We now have a bigger government than ever and we have less spending money than ever. We have a president who thinks evolution is not proven and has a secret war plan that he hasn't shared with his own congress as of yet! The worst part is that they lost an election to a party with no issues except complaints and no solutions. How did we come to this sad state? the Republicans were the party of Abe Lincoln, Now they are the party of Bush/Cheney and rice-a-rooni.
Before you start with the anti-liberal BS, I am not a Democrat and I am quite conservative. I am a Libertarian and I think that both parties are out of their minds and out if control

Does a probation officer help the offender find employment? Or what? Or do they just check up on the offender from time to time to time? What if the offender is a first time offender and is a model citizen? He would be a low priority and would not have to be monitored closely like some felons. This offender only has a misdemeanor.

My obnoxious family in Illinois recently had a death in the family. My cousins (supposedly) have requested my sister and I (we're on the west coast) NOT be notified of the death. A friend of mine suggested there may be money (Yup, the family was "loaded") involved and perhaps they're trying to exclude us from any inheritance.

Sorry to be so lengthly but, does this even sound like a realistic scenario? Or is my friend just yanking my chain?

pardon me for entering a UK discussion board but i am fed up with brits coming into our boards and asking questions like "don't americans realize how much the world hates them" or "do americans know there's a world outside the US" so i'm here to answer these questions.

YES we know we are hated by the world, how can we not? the media reminds us of it every 8 seconds.

YES we know there's a world outside the US. with all the billions we've spent on foreign aid and the thousands of our young soldier's lives we've sacrificed to help other countries, how can we not?

satisfied???

Bush uses the democratic peace theory for Iraq - but it sounds like liberal idealism to me (do some homework on Immanuel Kant and other classical liberalists before you "conservatives" open your trap).
