ParticipantIf you have a permit, I don’t think there is any way he could prevent you from proceeding.
If the city granted the permit, it means his permission or input is not necessary. In some places, it is. Building anything in La Jolla always seems to require neighbors’ approval. In Clairemont, not so much.
The permit process should surely weed out projects that could cause landslides. So, he can go to the city and say “hey, I wasn’t informed about this and it could cause a landslide” The city will say “it isn’t your property so you don’t have to be informed” and “Show us your engineering proof that it will cause a landslide and we’ll consider it. By the way, here are the engineered plans that show it won’t cause a landslide.” Unless he’s a brilliant engineer and knows how to work the city planning department, I’d give him zero chance of convincing them.
Anything is possible, though – so just make sure your insurance covers landslides caused by a new deck, built with permits. You should be OK there.
The nice thing to do would be to explain how the permit process protects him, assure him he’s safe, thank him for his concern, let him know you have his safety in mind, yada, yada. Then start building as soon as possible.
October 17, 2012 at 1:42 PM in reply to: rental sale pending- need interest bearing ideas for proceeds #752710Participant[quote=birmingplumb]Don’t think 1,000 month return is enough on 240k and it’s super high offer for Detroit suburb as I valued it 175k 3 yrs ago. Timing. Motown[/quote]
I would have asked the “what would I do with 200K to make $1000/month” question before selling it. If no answer, then don’t sell. If lots of answers, then sell.
October 17, 2012 at 12:24 PM in reply to: rental sale pending- need interest bearing ideas for proceeds #752695ParticipantWhy in the world did you sell it ?
ParticipantLooking at SFRs in Redfin, there are 93 homes for sale in 92130.
63 above $1M with 2 short sales.
30 below $1M with 1 short sale.ParticipantIt can’t be copyright infringement. There is no copy being made.
This would result in the original sellers having to do one of two things:
1) Lower prices to make up for the $0 salvage value.
or
2) Explicitly allow resale when selling.No matter what the ruling, it will be a non-issue. Only the lawyers will make money.
Participant[quote=bigwavedave]IMO a trust is the way to go. [/quote]
+1 on the trust. There are many more reasons other than this to get one, also.
Mine cost $1300.
Suggest a workshop put on by lawyers as a sales tool. Was very useful.
Try Walters & Ward in RB for a schedule.
ParticipantPersonally, I’d go with letting her put in a window AC and she can take it w/ her when she leaves. It’s a rental property.
ParticipantWow. That’s a truly superb comic, no_such_reality.
ParticipantHow inappropriate is this spam message ? Jeez. Leave the guy and his colon alone, would ya.
I hope all is well w/ you FLU.
I wish I could manufacture whatever drugs you needed in my garage.
September 26, 2012 at 1:48 PM in reply to: Input Request: Repairs Affecting Your Property and Another Property #751903ParticipantDefinitely try to get in touch with the owners directly by mail or phone. May be able to dig up a phone number if you have the full name and city.
I would also have the tenants send a letter to the property management company about dangerous fence, liability, worried about injury to children, doesn’t comply with the lease, etc. The prop management co has no incentive, reason, or responsibility to respond to you at all. However, they have to respond to the tenants and should have some sense of duty to pass along that kind of letter to the owners.
If the owners hear from you on one hand and from the tenants on the other, maybe they’ll realize it is important.
ParticipantMake sure what ever you ask for to make up for the inconvenience costs more than the AC and makes significantly more trouble for them than managing the installation of it. Checking your legal standing with a lawyer at this point is probably wise.
And start shopping for a new place ASAP. If you can’t live w/o AC, then you have to make sure you have a place to go.
My counter offer would be “I can’t live without air conditioning” and “you have x days to fix it or I’m moving out at your expense.”
September 26, 2012 at 11:59 AM in reply to: 4.4% annual salary increase for the next four years for Chicago Teachers #751894Participant[quote=CA renter]No, it would go to other “special interests,” like developers, other agencies, etc.[/quote]
I’m not talking about privitization or hiring developers or other agencies to teach school. You are off on some unrelated tangent.
I’m simply saying that hiring non-union teachers as employees will cost the taxpayers less and still provide jobs to teachers. In fact, it could provide more jobs to teachers because for a fixed budget, lower cost per teacher means they could hire more teachers. So, you either get more teaching jobs or the taxpayers save money.
Participant[quote=ocrenter] but most likely the non-payer would be one of those “drive in and garage down” types[/quote]
I’d say that’d be very difficult in Santaluz. The only thing within walking distance is the clubhouse and the golf course, from which non-payers have likely been black-balled.
September 25, 2012 at 12:04 PM in reply to: unit advertised “air conditioning”,moved in-no a.c.-help #751854ParticipantI’d say the pregnant lady needs the AC more than the newborn-to-come !
Hope you get it worked out.
