Hello,

I got a letter from my apartment regarding unlawful detainer.

The apartment refused to take our rent for almost 4 months because it was paid in a personal check and not cashier’s check.

I have 5 days to respond, what should I do please?

Also, please reach out to local counsel in your jurisdiction. Additionally, there are resources at pro Bono clinics that can help with this in most cities.

If it was stipulated in the contract, maybe try talking to the landlord and paying them in a cashier's check. It is always better to speak to them in a friendly manner.

Yes I did

I would try to get them that money in a cashier's check as soon as possible. It seems that they're standing on there rules.

So I guess what is the issue then. I am so confused.

What does it say in the leasing contract? You need to make sure to read the lease. Could you just pay them in a cashier's check?

I paid in cashier’s check what was owed. They didn’t accept it and still took us to eviction

Do you still have a copy of your contract? If yes, keep it and show it to your lawyer if you already have one.

Check the lease agreement. There should be a solution there. If not, go and check with a lawyer. good luck!

So have you just not been paying your rent? I am so confused.

Is it ok to send you a private message?

Thoughts?

I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money.
1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case?
2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances?
3. What documents should I carry with me?

Do I need a new H1B Stamping? I extended my visa last year (new expiration date: 2024 Summer) and got my visa stamped accordingly. Since then, I changed firms and transferred my visa, which now has a different expiration date (i.e 2024 Winter). I honestly don’t know why the date got longer with just a transfer. Anyway, would I need to get my visa stamped again since the date of current i797-A (winter 2024) is different from my previous i797-A/latest visa stamp?

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d
