Buffy ,'Selfless'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm just pleased I was able to think of something besides Hewlett-Packard.
No Sephora stores in my state, alas. I could go to one next time I visit my parents, I suppose. Whenever that may be. I'm tempted to try to find one when I'm in Houston this weekend, but that seems a little cruel to my long suffering husband.
My mom told them to terminate my lease, which means I have to be out of here by August 18.
Wait. Can't you tell the realtor that you did not give your mom permission to do this?
My mom told them to terminate my lease, which means I have to be out of here by August 18. And move the fuck home for however long it takes me to find a job.
Is this even legal?
My mom told them to terminate my lease,
P-C, you're over 21 -- she can't legally do that.
Oh, P-C, that sucks mightily. Do you want to stay in your apt. a bit longer? If so, can you contact the landlord and stay?
Zikes, P-C. Much emergency job-ma to you.
Can't you tell the realtor that you did not give your mom permission to do this?
Yes, I can.
No more phone numbers for P-C's Mom! Parenting foul!
Seriously, P-C, whose name is on the lease? Yours? (Because I know some college students' parents sign their kids' leases, since they're paying for them.) If her name isn't on the lease, it doesn't matter that she's your parent. She'd have to have power of attorney to tell your landlord to terminate your lease.
P-C, are your parents on the lease? Because I have trouble believing that a third party can terminate a lease like that.
Also, traditionally, contracts transferring an interest in real estate (for example, renting an apartment) had to be written. (Long story, taking up substantial portions of first-year Property classes in law schools nationwide -- it's called the Statute of Frauds, and it dates back to when ownership of land meant a whole lot more, class-wise, than it does today.) I wonder whether someone could terminate such a contract based on someone's oral statement.
Warning: Property law is a state-by-state thing. Your state may vary. If you really want to push this, the law school at your university probably has a legal clinic.
