born on a buy you posted:drat how bad is your credit that it wasn't jsut waived? What do you mean? It's non-negotiable, my credit score is in the low 700s. I've never heard of anyone in Pennsylvania not paying a security deposit.

Pennsylvania passed a law at some point setting a limit for security deposit sizes, which means in practice that all landlords just charge the absolute maximum amount they're allowed to by law at all times. Sometimes you'll see "MOVE-IN SPECIAL, $200 SECURITY DEPOSIT" poo poo but they're always shady apartment complexes that look like soviet tenement blocks.

Hey guys, thanks for the security deposit chat, it reminded me to check Pennsylvania law and it turns out that my landlord is holding more of my money than he's allowed to hold.

kwinkles posted:i have rented a couple places that had a 300-500 refundable pet deposit and didn't charge any extra rent. anything else just seems like charging for no reason. if there is damage to the apartment, keep the deposit. if you have a well behaved pet the worst you're gonna do is maybe get charged 50-100 of the deposit for steam cleaning some carpets and cleaning dog/cat smell out of an A/C duct. I don't even have A/C ducts, this is radiator heat.

kwinkles posted:the danger with rental apartments is that people don't replace the aircon filter. when i rented i used to turn on the AC and smell the air coming out of the register, then turn on the heater and smell the air. sometimes you get a huge whiff of someone's gross dog smell. Oh yeah, I don't even have that. This place only has ~100 square feet of carpet too, just a hallway upstairs.

If I get a thousand dollars back from my deposit now, that's less that he can try to gently caress with me over. The settlement is still good as far as I know, he hasn't appealed that and he has a deadline of 12/18. That's a separate sum entirely.

The guy in front of me on the train is reading an article about how Citi has added a few billion dollars to their "Penalty Fund" to pay fines in case the government tells them they broke the law again. Isn't that a tacit admission that thet intend to keep breaking the law? lol

Supreme Court rules against workers in warehouse security case WASHINGTON -- Workers don’t have a federal right to be paid for time spent in post-shift security searches, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a decision that will help Amazon.com Inc. fend off lawsuits seeking more than $100 million. The justices unanimously rejected claims by former Amazon warehouse workers against the company that staffs many of the online retailer’s facilities. The case centered on the reach of federal wage laws. The ruling, which comes in the middle of the retail industry’s busy holiday season, may shield other companies as well as Amazon. Apple Inc., CVS Health Corp., J.C. Penney Co., TJX Cos. and Ross Stores Inc. are all battling similar cases involving either distribution centers or stores. Companies say screening is a valuable tool to guard against theft. Employees say what’s being stolen is their time. In the case before the court, Jesse Busk and Laurie Castro said workers in two Nevada warehouses had to spend as much as 25 minutes after their shifts waiting to pass through metal detectors. Amazon disputes that characterization. Amazon wasn’t directly involved in the Supreme Court case, which concerned its staffing company, Integrity Staffing Solutions Inc.

uncurable mlady posted:more info on that - the ruling was unanimous, and it's mostly because labor laws already say you don't get paid for stuff like that I may be a loving idiot who doesn't understand anything, but I'd figure that if my boss is making me do a thing and I have to do that thing to have my job, my boss should be paying me for that time.

ayn rand hand job posted:it is not an analogy. it is the legal standard established by congress. us labor law does not give a poo poo about reimbursing you for travel to or from the office Going through a security checkpoint owned by your employer, on your employer's property, as a condition of employment, is not the same as "traveling to and from the office." Under that standard I shouldn't be paid for walking to or from the restroom or kitchen because I'm traveling to or from my office.

I was told that I wouldn't be paid for restroom time, so the next day when the office manager came in she asked me why I was sitting on a waste basket and I told her that I had to do what it takes. She didn't bother me about restroom breaks again.
