Truthfully, I couldn’t be americas president with this kind of moral in justice in flicked on the working poor, and educated people..May God Have Mercy For Real Change”

P.S.

The Obama Administration :Thing’s remain the same so far, The war end no were in sight and the cost of the war, in the middle east, which is enough to ensure that every body who needs a home in america has one.

This predicament has seriously delayed my own pro per legal pursuits. ANY resources possibly useful for this can be important. I notice that this blog/site appears to have idled for some time. I also notice that this is typically the case with so many "homeless" oriented things. I hadn't been prepared for the local official corruptions and the shocking non-help, even counterproductive influence, of supposed "help" organizations like "Legal Aid" and the county courts "self help program". The many outfits proclaiming themselves as purposed with "helping the homeless" have turned out to be far more about paying the staff's rent/mortgages than anything else. As increasing numbers, and types, of people become displaced and disenfranchised like this, I suspect that true class warfare grows more imminant. I’ve been homeless for just about a year now.

]]> Comment on Is it legal to kick someone out of a store or restaurant just because he or she smells bad? by katyisme http://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/is-it-legal-to-kick-someone-out-of-a-store-or-restaurant-just-because-he-or-she-smells-bad/#comment-317 katyisme Mon, 11 May 2009 21:37:31 +0000 http://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/?p=64#comment-317 This is very interesting. I would have thought that you couldn't throw someone out based on how they smell (although I have heard of the no shirt no shoes thing before) but I guess it makes sense that the retailer has the right to refuse service to anyone.

I (along with my three dogs, 1 cat) are about to loose our home to forclosure. I am disabled and receive $950 per month on SS disability. I found a property in my area (Near Tucson, Az) that has been vacant for about 7 years (the owner inherited it from his deceased father) I called the owner in RedondoBeach California to ask if he would be willing to sell or rent the property to me. He said " it is not a good time for me to sell right now" The house is falling apart, has wood rot, roof issues, lot of broken trees, trash everywhere. It looks likely that there are rats in the house, but I see the potential in this house...I could fix it up. The owner is paying taxes,but it is obvious that he does not want to care for the property. One odd note is that the owner is paying the gas bill, but not the electric So, can I legally take possession of the the property? is this considered trespassing in any way or doing anything illegal? From what I can understand about Adverse Possession, I think I can take possession and wait and see if the owner wants to evict me? What a sad thing that someone would let a nice house just go to ruin, especially when I could keep it up and it would give me and my rescue pets a home instead of the street. Any advise on how to proceed would be appreciated. Thank you! Suz I have a question about adverse possession.
