Reply to Tenant question by jumpergirl05
>I have a close friend who is a property manager in the state and she told me the landlord tenant law states that the landlord has to pay for the hot water. I’m just trying to confirm if that is true or not
Your friend is wrong. As a tenant in RI, you should start by reading the RI Landlord Tenant Handbook. This answers almost any question that arises for most tenants. Hot water must be provided for a residence to be habitable, but does not need to be paid by the landlord. I’d need to see the page in question to give a better answer on if the landlord has taken on an obligation to pay for it. Also, are you sure the water heater is oil fired and not electric?
>secondly, he told me that in the lease it states that I have to be signed up for automatic oil refill so I obviously went and re read the lease Top to bottom and it’s not stated anywhere in the lease… So then do I need to be signed up for it? I haven’t said anything to him or made a big deal I’m just simply trying to confirm
If it’s not in the lease you’re not legally obligated to. You are, however, obligated to pay for damages that might occur if you run out of oil and pipes freeze and then burst. Unless you absolutely cannot afford it, sign up for auto delivery. Especially if it’s your first time maintaining a home through the winter. Easy to look at what you burned over a week like last week and think you’re good to go for a bit and then run out during a cold snap.

Nope, the lines all go into the conduit on the side of the pole.

>Really?
Yes.
>Why don't you go hang out in your town hall today. Its a public space, must be open to the public.
I’m certainly able to go and park in the parking lot. That’s a government owned space - per you, not allowed.
>Perhaps tonight you can go camping in Roger Williams Park. Just disregard those stupid signs that claim you can't.
But you can visit the park can’t you? Wait - that’s a government owned space - per you, not allowed.
>How about this a reservoir is obviously public land. Go fishing.
How about this - a street is obviously public land. Go for a drive? Wait - that’s a government owned space - per you, not allowed.
Or maybe, just maybe, there’s far more nuance to the whole topic than:
Unless invited in the public is not allowed in government owned spaces.

>Unless invited in. such as a warming station or shelter, the public is not allowed in government owned spaces. This was decided a long time before I was born.
So you’re from the future? Because this also ain’t it.

Right or wrong, following this PSA is a good way to have an unpleasant evening, especially if you insist you can charge your phone because it’s “Public Domain” whatever the fuck OP thinks that is.

In the U.S., the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) permits a lessor, without judicial process, to repossess leased equipment or, without removal, make the equipment unusable, provided no breach of the peace occurs. In practice, exercising this remedy without breaching the peace presents the biggest challenge. But if the owner is willing to let them in / give them access, they have the right to repossess.

Counter-point: Why? Functionally it’s no different from them sleeping in the woods or under a bridge on state property, this is just less convenient and worse optics for the people elected to deal with the issue.
I’m ok with that.

Important to note that individuals have to be offered beds if they’re being removed from “Public Property” under Martin v. Boise.
I guess the moral of the story is if you’re homeless and can’t get a bed, camp at the State House instead.

Supply cost increased 47%, but before the increase supply cost was ~~ distribution cost. Overall impact should be a 25% increase in bills

Post a copy of your bill. Generation pricing increased 40% - there is no way you used fewer KWh and had your bill triple.

The decision wasn’t made by the state house, it was made by the PUC. The PUC does not have the ability to force RIE to sell electricity at a loss, which is what the people who showed up wanted them to do. The rate increase was approved because natural gas prices increased, so the cost of generating electricity increased by a defined, calculable amount.

Bernardi also sells more factory extended warranties than any other shop in the country because they offer them close to cost and with reasonable payment terms, at any time post sale, instead of having the F&I guy try to sell them at a huge markup when they’re closing the sale. They do business the right way.

Imagine unironically using the phrase “a decade long pattern of malicious behavior” to refer to something that started when he was in first grade. Completely unhinged.

>Multiple statements from his, his agents and lawyers and a victim who’s said he’s made no effort to apologize.
He, his agents, and lawyers say he his only regrets were that he faced consequences and that he made no effort to apologize? Weird. I read an article that noted an apology was part of the original sentencing, and that the victim’s family wanted a personal apology over and above that.
>This isn’t a new story. There’s been a lot written about it in the last two years.
Cool. Maybe you can source some of your assertions?

So where is the line drawn? Stealing a car is fine, bullying isn’t? Is it the racial component? I’m honestly curious what leads you to believe that in the case behavior by a 14 year old is irredeemable.
There’s a movement to make it impermissible to ask about felony history precisely because we believe justice should be meted out by the justice system, not the general population, and because we recognize that people can change.

Goes without saying that what this guy did was heinous, but he was also 14. I have to wonder how many folks willing to string him up made mistakes at that age.

>You know what happens when you lie to an insurance company, and then later file a claim? They deny it, and you're on your own.
If it’s a material misrepresentation that would have resulted in them not otherwise insuring you, and that they could not independently verify. Neither of those apply to speeding tickets.
>There's also a good chance you'll get blacklisted,
There is no such thing.
>and the only way you'll get insurance is by paying an exorbitant premium.
Not mentioning a ticket wouldn’t cause any such issue.
If you want to spew, have a clue what you’re spewing about.
