]]> Comment on Will criminal background checks for screening be restricted by proposed Federal Rule? by John S. Pinto http://justalandlord.com/2012/01/15/will-criminal-background-checks-for-screening-be-restricted-by-federal-rule/comment-page-1/#comment-1914 John S. Pinto Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:00:49 +0000 http://justalandlord.com/?p=1151#comment-1914 This is another example of something becoming law without congressional action. It is frightening to think that commissions can make proposals that become law. This is done in secret and before we know it we are saddled with these unnecessary burdens. They only serve to make renting harder and costlier, both for landlords as well as tenants. This particular proposal makes all sorts of dubious theories and assumptions It should be defeated.

]]> Comment on Separate utilities – and I’m being billed! by Larry http://justalandlord.com/2009/10/26/separate-utilities-and-im-being-billed/comment-page-1/#comment-1828 Larry Sat, 24 Dec 2011 22:46:34 +0000 http://justalandlord.com/?p=421#comment-1828 One solution is to have each apt/commercial property in a land trust; each with different & unrelated names. Then have your personal property in a land trust as well. That way there is no way for WE to know that land trust A (the one with the disputed power bill from WE) is affiliated with any other property, i.e. land trust B (which would be a second apt complex or personal residence). Would private billing be an option? The landlord pays all power cost each month and then privately bills each residence for their power usage. Since there are individual meters already, you can simply make a photocopy of the individual power bill you receive from WE and give the copy to the residence to pay. Of course, you would have to have the added to the lease agreement. One solution is to have each apt/commercial property in a land trust; each with different & unrelated names.

What happen with the homeowners insurance? Did the renters insurance pay for the damages? Thank you for your answer. I love this website by the way.

It also seemed to me that TalkScribe was more cumbersome to sign up for a trial. Having used ReQall for a while now I am still pretty happy with it and feel it is on par with what we had with Jott. If you believe some of the Mac rumor sites the best answer may be built into iOS 5.

It's certainly not as cheap as Jott, Reqall, or Google Voice, but I believe the level of accuracy outshines them all. Many Jott 'orphans' have found a happy new home here. John Tim,
