Landlords And The Law
By KEN STERN
(CPS) — It was not a pleasant
ending to Mary Capito’s
vacation.
Mary was returning home,
feeling relaxed and happy. As
she loped up the stairs to her
apartment, Mary made a mental
note to pay her rent since it was
already three days overdue. But
approaching her front door, she
quickly found out that wouldn’t
be necessary; she was greeted
by a padlock and note which
read, “Due to your failure to pay
the rent on time, we have evicted
you and have taken custody of
your possessions.”
Strange but ture. It happens
everyday in countless cities even
though most states have banned
the practice, whose legal
moniker is “forcible entry and
detainer.” It may be a
throwback to the days of
powedered wigs and “six gun
justice,” but landlord hassles
are still as common these days
as acne, especially in student
communities where the tran
sient population causes a high
rental turnover.
But relief from unscupulous
landlords is not hard to come by,
if students would always keep in
mind a few simple principles.
The first commandment of
landlord-tenant relations is,
“Thou shalt always carefully
read thy lease, especially the
fine print.” Landlords will often
try and slip in outrageous
responsibilities or disclaimers
including provisions which allow
a landlord to take all your
possessions if your rent is just
five days late.
One other problem area for
tenants — students especially —
is the gloomy region of security
deposits. The biggest racket in
town isn’t numbers running or
interstate car theft, but rather
the Great American Security
Deposit Swindle. In most cases,
when an apartment is rented the
tenant is required to place a
security deposit with the land
lord which is supposedly
designed to cover any damage
caused by the renter during the
period of tenancy. The rules say
this deposit will be refunded
when the tenant moves on. But
that’s not what always happens,
even if the tenant leaves the
place spotless. In reality, getting
your money back is about as
easy as saying “no” to an in
surance salesman.
Landlords realize that most
people, not to mention busy,
transient students, won’t take
legal action even if they’re
“stiffed” on their hard-earned
cash. The landlord’s modus
operandi is to refund the money
only after the tenant has
initiated a lawsuit and seems
determined to follow it through,
which is one reason why legal
action is so effective in this area.
Is This Ethical?
(CPS) — Patricia Wilson is
dead, but her brain lies deep
frozen in Oakland, California
awaiting the day it might be
plopped into another head in
order to create another Patricia.
That, at least, was the bizarre
request of Patricia’s parents
following the 15-year-old’s
violent murder in early October.
They asked the Oakland coroner
turn the girl’s brain over to a
cyronic (body preserving)
organization in the hope that it
can someday be “cloned” into a
person exactly like their late
daughter.
Cloning is the process in which
scientists reconstruct an entire
body through the duplication of
a single cell. Since scientists
have not yet perfected this
technique, Patricia’s brain is
kept at a temperature of minus
310 degrees Farenheit until that
scientific milestone is reached.
The girl was found on the first
Sunday in October bound and
beaten in a Berkeley apartment.
