Landlord responsibility with fleas?
So I’m both roommate/landlord and our tennant recently brought to our attention she was being bitten by fleas. I was not aware we had a flea problem. Her current month rent was 800 (july 20-aug 20). So notified me of the flea issue on Saturday July 25 (about 1.5 month into her stay). I called an exterminator that monday and they came on July 29th (wed) to spray our property (3 working days later). During this time, she stayed at an airbnb/hotel for 2 days. I already offered to return her ENTIRE rent of 800$(including July 20-25 - she stayed at our place, and this was before telling us there was a flea issue), immediately cancel her lease without punishment, return her deposite 200$, and offered an extra 100$ to cover her stay elsewhere for 2 nights)
I feel like I have gone above and beyond what is expected. I have resolved the issue within reasonable time (7days), covered her stay at an airbnb, AND refunded her entire rent and deposit (1100$). Do you feel like there were more I either should have done (legally) or morally? She is asking for more money (including laundry service)
11 AnswersRenting & Real Estate9 months agoWhat is a realistic goal in weight loss and muscle gain in 30 days?
I'm not overweight so those 20 pounds weight loss in 30 days is impossible achieve and stay healthy.
I don't care about the number on the scale as much as my body shape. I want to tone up and lose body fat. I'm 5' 5'' and 128 pounds - but you can't really see any muscle on me. I am not very good at committing to something so I'm doing a 30 day challenge for now - (i am aware that lifestyle changes are needed to maintain any results)
Tips on diet or workout plan? I don't have any equipment and my apartment gym sucks.

1 AnswerDiet & Fitness6 years agoAny of you chew and spit? Any adverse effect?
I eat pretty healthy: (breakfast - oatmeal, fruit, lunch - very large salad with 2 tbsp ranch, dinner - varies, plus healthy snacks - ie. carrots).
But I have a problem. I LOVE desserts. I love pies, ice creams, cookies but they aren t things I want inside of me. I get between 1500-2000 cal/day because I chew and spit the dessert. Is this bad?
1 AnswerDiet & Fitness6 years agoWhat is up with models/modeling companies nowadays? Skinny and Overweight - none normal/healthy?
Either the models are super skinny or they are "plus size" - which I found a few plus sized models and their BMI is overweight...
Why the hell not use models in the "healthy" BMI range rather than on both ends??
1 AnswerDiet & Fitness6 years agoI want to tone up and keep most of my curves?
My BMI is dead center in "normal" at 5'5'' and about 125 pounds. I don't have a strong desire to "lose weight" as much as I'd like to tone up.
I'm not sure what type of exercises I do should to best tone up a female's body while maintaining some curves. I don't mind if drop a cup size (at D right now) but hopefully no more than that.
Any suggestions?
1 AnswerDiet & Fitness6 years agoMy cat is sneezing a lot, should I be concerned?
She is sneezing over 20 times in an hour. Sometimes the sneezes are consecutive 4-6 times in a row. I worry that it may be upper respiratory infection.
I know in humans, colds, or rhino virus usually will resolve itself within a few days and no interventions are needed. What about for cats?
I planned to visit a walk in vet clinic on Monday after a large exam (8-4 pm), but may not be able to get fit in until Tuesday. Should I be more concerned and visit an emergency?
She is eating well, drinking ok, seems not lethargic, clear nasal discharge, still playful, but more cuddly.
1 AnswerCats7 years agoIs this late fee legal?
I brought in a cat to my apartment on 8/17, in which a 12.10$ rent was added (prorated). The lady at the front told me to pay the deposit when it gets added on. They have a 3 or 5 day grace policy.
My statement shows:
8/17 Cat rent - 12.10$
8/20 pet fee
8/20 pet deposite
8/20 late fee - 90$
They said they charged me for the deposit not being paid immediately (8/17) but it was not on the statement at all - so legally I am not bound to pay it. They also claimed the pet rent was late but they also have a 3 or 5 day grace.
Question: Was this late fee applied legally? Should I take it to small claim court?
50$ isn't what bothers me, it's that they are being unprofessional and conducting what seems like illegal practice.
Thanks!
2 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoProxies Risks?
I used a proxy to look up a free version of a pdf (that is blocked in the US) - but this was my first time and after doing so, I remembered oh that probably wasn't a good idea.
I did not have to enter any personal information during the times I used a proxy (free one D:) and disconnected as soon as I downloaded the pdf (answer key to my textbook). Am I still at risk of getting my info stolen? Should I wipe my computer? Should I change ALL my passwords and etc?
:/

7 AnswersSecurity7 years agoDeclawing a cat for apartment?
I will be giving up my cat next year because of finances (going to medical school) so I need a close apartment to live in. The apartments says cats are allowed but MUST be declawed. I really do not want to declaw my cat - for one she has NEVER scratched a person or any furniture (she does hurt when she kneads if I forget to trim her nails - which I do weekly).
Is there anyway around it?
At this point, I'm almost willing to not report I have a cat and take my cat in anyways. What's the punishment for having a cat and not reporting it? What's the punishment for not declawing the cat and stating I did (I know for a fact her claws won't do any damage to the apartment)?
I see why some people declaw if their cats are practically evil, but I can do anything I want to my cat - she has never once scratched me.
10 AnswersCats7 years agoWhat type of dog should I get?
I'll be going to Medical School in August. I should have 2 full months of 24/7 training. When I start school, I will be gone 4 hours a day - and maybe less (since we have recorded lectures).
I'd like a golden retriever. I plan to spend 30-45 minutes exercising and playing with my dog. I'd like to start from a puppy but I also know this may not be the best since it may not become trained in time. The reason I really want a puppy is because I have a cat who I adore. The cat has been around puppies fine (she's very very friendly) but has been terrified of a full grown dog.
Help/suggestions?
2 AnswersDogs7 years agoShould I get a puppy?
I have 4 months (summer) to take care of the puppy nearly 24/7. After August, I will be going to med school but I know several med students who have dogs and they are fine. My schedule is from 8 - 12 pm in class, the rest of the time, I can study at home.
I intend to crate train my puppy.
Should I get a puppy? I have set aside the money for the puppy as well (5k)
6 AnswersDogs7 years agoGoing into industry after years of completing college?
I graduated from college in Dec 2011 with a BS in Chemical engineering and minor in bioengineering life science AND a master's degree in chemical engineering (my degree was paid for). My GPA for undergraduate and graduate was 3.8 and 3.6, respectively.
I took 2.5 years off to teach, joining Teach for America. I am thinking of going into industry. I realized I should have practiced Chemical Engineering for 3-5 years before taking some time to teach.
Would it be possible for me to go back into the industry world as a chemical engineer? Average graduated GPA for my degree was 2.8 - having a 3.8 might mean I retain more information after 3 years hopefully?
Where would you recommend I start looking for a job?

8 AnswersDogs8 years agoObama Health Care - what's the downfall?
I know the pros to Obama health care...:
• No annual limits on healthcare
• Insurance companies can't drop you when you are sick
• You can't be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions
• Obamacare has a strong focus on preventive services
• A large improvement to women's health services
• Reforms to the healthcare industry to cut wasteful spending
• Better care and protections for seniors
... However, there is no such things are free lunch - who is taking a hit? (government? high income? doctors? insurance?)
Thanks

1 AnswerOther - General Health Care8 years agocredit card usage and credit score?
I hear you are suppose to use less than 20% of your total credit every month or something like that.
This month, I had to use about 90% of my credit limit, but I also paid (as I always do) in full on the due date. Would this negatively affect my credit score or is the 20% referring the the amount on the card that is not paid in full?
