Ok, but in that case the matter of "love" or dating is secondary. The title of this post should reflect its actual topic. Read More

I for one don't understand the main point of this post. The title purports to warn against online dating, but the content and linked site are primarily about the arbitrary arrests elsewhere. Nor am I following the replies to the post: what does ... Read More

Your post is hard to follow, in part because your inquiry is intertwined with unnecessary comments such as "I always wondered", "both make most of their daily struggle[,] I guess", "I just hope they solve it at some point", and so forth. Other ... Read More

Rental price increase by Dany Baydoun

Hello guys, i have a one year contract (renewable) that ends this month and one of the clauses mentions that I should give the landlord 90 days notice period before terminating the contract.The landlord informed me just 1 month ago that she wants ...

pragmatist

@JohnnyPTHow do you prove the landlady's bad faith? How infer bad faith from these circumstances?I already explained this when pointing out her intentional delay in the context of her awareness of the 90-day clause and her insistence to enforce that ... Read More

@JohnnyPTYour analysis assumes that there was a delay and bad faith on the part of the landlord, which is wrong.Bad faith is a mental state that hardly ever is admitted, which is why courts or jurors infer bad faith from the circumstances. Here the ... Read More

Lease termination by tunayofli

I have a one year lease that I just signed. Does buying a house allow me to cancel my current lease without penalty?

pragmatist

In that case the purchase is irrelevant to the lease. This matter as well as the penalization for early termination can be ascertained only by reading the lease. Read More

Article 227 refers to fault in the formation of contracts and would apply here to the landlord if there was bad faith on her part and if the contract does not state that annual rent increases are foreseen. -@JohnnyPTLandlord's delay is ... Read More

pragmatist

You need to provide more details. I for one have a hard time trying to figure out what you mean.Are you saying that you were unemployed from Jan. 23 to Jan 28? If so, why do you need to apply with a new employer? are you on a work visa? Otherwise, ... Read More

Landlord's belatedness in notifying you of the rent increase forfeits strict enforcement of the clause about 90-day notice. Although you should have given your notice as soon as you became aware of the rent increase, landlord's delay clearly ... Read More

Some relevant parts of your description are confusing, but I agree with Nia. The term "good faith payment" is meaningless because good faith is presumed in all contracts. Furthermore, some of what you describe suggests this is a scam. In particular, ... Read More
