@Serenitee_Sam @thegabriel72 Never own residential rental property. Tenants never respect the property and laws are heavily stacked against landlords. And if you want to evict someone not paying the rent, you will be out 3 months of rent and apartment trashed.

When landlords choose to treat legal regulations as optional suggestions, the courtroom usually has a way of reminding them otherwise. A fascinating and all-too-common dispute recently unfolded when a tenant felt forced to take their landlord to small claims court. The core issue centered around the security deposit—a frequent battleground in the rental world. Under local housing laws, landlords are strictly required to provide either a full return of the deposit or a itemized list of deductions within a rigid legal timeframe, usually between 14 to 30 days depending on the jurisdiction. In this specific case, the landlord completely ignored the statutory deadline, holding onto the funds without providing any legal justification or communication. When confronted with the explicit text of the law, the landlord doubled down, assuming the tenant would simply walk away rather than deal with the hassle of a legal filing. That assumption proved to be a costly mistake. The legalities in these situations are remarkably clear-cut: when a landlord fails to provide an itemized list or return the deposit within the state-mandated window, they completely forfeit their right to keep any portion of that money. In many jurisdictions, bad-faith retention of a security deposit even triggers "treble damages," meaning the court can order the landlord to pay double or triple the original deposit amount back to the tenant as a penalty. The outcome was a total victory for accountability. The judge looked at the timeline, noted the landlord's clear failure to act within the law, and ruled entirely in favor of the tenant. The landlord was ordered to pay back the full security deposit plus court fees. This happens everywhere, every single day, because too many property owners bank on tenants not knowing their rights. The system only functions when everyone involved actually plays by the rules—and sometimes, it takes a judge's gavel to make sure they do.

@ClownWorld This really brings into question whether we should have safety nets or let Darwin’s theory ensure the survival of our species.

A guy riding a scooter tried stepping in to stop a bike thief from getting beaten up, but the situation instantly backfired when the same thief turned around and tried stealing his scooter moments later. The entire chaotic scene was caught on video and quickly went viral online.

@libsoftiktok We need to know when (timestamp) an image is taken, whether it was modified from the original, and by whom (fingerprint). It would go a long way to understand intent, reduce fraud, and reduce theft of original creators.

This is election interference btw

@TheRabbitHole Thanks, Obama.

Between 1994 and 2017: The Democrats shifted more drastically to the Left than The Republicans shifted to the right.

Territory vs. Democracy: How Land Area Distorts the U.S. Presidential Election Map

Hakeem Jeffries today: “The ghost of the Confederacy has afflicted the Supreme Court majority and is invading and haunting the nation right now.” Louisiana cancelled a live election to erase Black voters. Tennessee eliminated majority-Black Memphis in one vote. Florida flipped 4 seats with new maps. Alabama got Supreme Court approval. South Carolina eliminated Clyburn’s seat. Virginia’s voter-approved map struck down 4-3. Six states. Same week. Same playbook. Jeffries is right.

@akafaceUS Was it a suicide attempt?

A giraffe managed to get its head stuck between the railings and this happened..

@KrisMurphy16236 @micah_erfan Democrats think they are the victims. They taught the Republicans on how to do this.

@micah_erfan Here is Illinois. Look at those lines.

This is what the Texas Congressional map looks like, *right now*.

@Restrictfootage Why did the idiot stop walking in the crosswalk?

Respect to the guy in the white shirt for defending them 💪

@In_theshadows8 @0nlyk1tt3n Underage parties are not legally able to consent, so yes, rape is the proper word.

@0nlyk1tt3n "Raped"... I'm so sick of this word thrown around like it has meaning anymore. I don't care if the underage person is male or female - rape is a term that shouldn't only be used to label nonconsensual intercorse; otherwise, it looses its meaning.

Authorities claim she created a fake online persona to befriend one victim, who later introduced her to four others. Prosecutors allege the contact occurred repeatedly over several months.

@RepJeffries Hence why we live with republic forms of government and not democracies - to protect our rights.

The decision by the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn the will of more than three million voters will not stand.

@Beno10_MFC D - the bowl is not as wide open.

Strong eye test. Which stand mixer is different? 99% people failed.

@electionsjoe 1. We are a republic. 2. Republicans are just learning from Democrats.

They dismantled Democracy in one day.

@its_The_Dr @DiamondandSilk Hate crime for ice sculptures?

He was not committing a hate Crime what he was doing was destroying something that should not have been there to begin with, an advertisement to break the law. Anti -American Propaganda. The people that put that there should be in jail even if they are Politicians!

@MibshaD That sounds racist.

One more and that will suffice for my political posts today: this is why transracial adoption is so dangerous.

@Rightanglenews @Timcast Something you will never see on Law & Order.

A Pennsylvania Democrat senate candidate Raymond Chandler has been arrested after leaving multiple voicemails threatening to kill Senator John Fetterman’s 13 year old daughter and President Trump. This is who they are.
