My apartment complex will not allow us to install an air conditioner in our apartment. So instead of "installing" one in the window, we put it on the floor of the patio through the sliding door so it can properly vent outside. We dressed it up nicely. The sliding door opens and closes just fine and the air conditioner doesn't even take up half of the door space so we are able to walk out to the patio just fine.

We live on the third (top) floor and our apartment gets extremely hot. We just received a notice that we have to remove the air conditioner within 72 hours. They said it is a safety violation (it blocks the doorway incase of fire). In fact, everyone with fans in front of their patio doors got the same notice.

We cannot afford to buy a stand-alone AC unit and cannot afford to move. If we sold our current AC we wouldn't get enough from the sale to even put a dent in the purchase of a stand-alone unit.

Do we have any rights? What are our options?

firstly some background. i am in the process of taking my employer to a tribunal for unfair treatment.

recently my employer has read all the personal emails i have sent from my work email account and then used the information in one of them to gain access to my personal and private web space.

i was using this web space (which i had purposly prevented search engines from accessing), to hold private letters / documents, so i could access them remotely.

i gave access to one of the letters to a fellow employee who needed to read one, by way of a link to the specific file in an email.

my employer used this emailed link to read the letter, which contained a comment about my employer. and now, unbelievably, they say they are taking me to court for defamation! because i sent the link to a peer, they say that that amounts to publication?

are they really alowed to read my email, my snail mail, access my private web space, and then sue me for something i wrote in free speech?

that believes in censorship? 90% may accept your question but you get deleted because of one disgruntled reader. Should Yahoo be ashamed of their censorship policy?

Okay, most people can agree this bill makes very little sense, but I think I figured out why it was passed. Public schools have people with disabilities who drag down the test scores due to this bill. Private schools don't accept them. Because of this, private schools seem better because of their test scores. People will then send their children to private schools. Private schools teach religion. Religious people vote Republican. Sounds solid, probably not true, just thought of it when I found out broke people can now go to private school.

I once read that lawmakers were trying to pass a bill that would make it illegal to solicit business by sending a fax. I was just wondering if this bill was ever passed and if it is legal to send business solicitations over the fax.

As the smoking ban in the work place thing is coming into force, i was wondering about the places i have to work in. I service and repair boilers and have to go into peoples homes, now as i see it , if i am working there then does that make the area where i am working a place covered under the new law. Some of the places i come out of i come out smelling like an ashtray, well nasty.

On over $19,500 worth of wire being stolen from my shop and residence. They have yet to send anybody out to fill out a written report. I've contacted them now 5 times and each time they say they're going to send somebody out, but have yet to do it. I've even left three messages with our sheriff himself but he has never returned any of my calls. Any suggestions?

Personally, I support it. I think that it is important for all Americans to be covered by medical insurance - and right now the laws are set up in a way that makes medical coverage very expensive for the average American. If a person gets sick/hurt, then their personal debt can skyrocket because of the costs involved. Pregnant women cannot get pre-natal care because their insurance doesn't cover it - thus adding to the embarassingly high infant mortality rate that America currently holds. Children are not allowed to play tag on the playground, because their parents cannot afford to take them to the hospital if they should get hurt and the schools are scared of being sued... Elderly people cannot afford their prescription medications... If we can subsidise oil companies, who are currently making record profits, why can't we do something to insure that our citizens can be healthy and do not carry an overwhelming burden of cost?
