Speaker 1 (00:00):
I really look forward to this show. I mean, Monday
through Friday is fun. God, was I off the rails
last yesterday? It was just Neil and I went out
of our minds. Monday through Friday is not about humiliating you.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Saturday is. So let's start the roller coaster ride.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
First phone numbers eight phone number eight hundred five two
zero one five three four, eight hundred five two zero one.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Five three four.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Last week we went I think a full two hours
and no one could get in because our lines were full.
So it's sort of a toin cost coin toss here
and so at top of the hour, first hour always
the best time to call number eight hundred five two
zero one five three four eight hundred five two zero
(00:48):
one five three four. I think by now I would
have memorized that number, because I've only been giving it
out for twenty five years, maybe no thirty years, and
I still don't have it memorized.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I don't have it up in front of me. I
just forget the number. Scary stuff. What's the number again? Oh?
Here it is eight hundred and five two zero one
five three four.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
This is handle on the law marginal legal advice, where
I bill handle tell you, whatever your name is, that
you have absolutely no case and hopefully human humiliate you
in the process.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Okay, a couple of stories I want to share with you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Actually one as I start this hour, and that is
if this is right in my wheelhouse, and this is
an LA based fertility clinic, and these people do IVF
in mutual fertilization, which my kids were born of IVF.
And for those of you that know about in vitual fertilization,
(01:52):
you know exactly what I'm talking about the process. For
those of you that do not know how it all works,
this is proof positive that God is a man.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Because women who are producing the egg, it is a
medical procedure.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It is not fun.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Drugs are taken in advance by weeks uncomfortable, and then
the actual procedure is I'm gonna get into the specifics,
but it's painful and you're sore for a long time.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Women are sore. Men your hand a little dixie cup.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And mister hand will just go in the other room
and just take care of this.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Just bring this thing back with you know, a specimen,
and that's what guys do. Go in the other room
and you know, let's just say, you know, how do
I do this without? No, I don't. I just tell you.
They go in the other room and out they come
with a specimen. All right. So there is this clinic,
and it's all over the place, these idef clinics.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And there is one, and I think it's in the
West Valley, if I'm not in state West San Franto Valley.
And among the people, among the clients, the patients of
this doctor Andy Hwang of Reproductive Partners Medical Group, Kim Kardashian,
Paris Hilton, chrisy Tigan. And the report from the Dailymail
(03:14):
dot co dot uk.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's a British paper. So this is a report.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
From them, and I just want to tell you that
I have not yet gotten confirmation, but I have no
problem telling you this is the.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Report that there is a couple.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Who is suing them, not one of these famous couples,
but is a couple and they are arguing that their
embryos were discarded by the clinic and allegedly and I'm
assuming that the argument or the lawsuit doesn't say it
was purposely done, it was done negligently.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Now I'm involved in.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Reproductive law and reproductive technology IVF, sperm.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Freezing, egg freezing.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
A donation, I mean, all of that since the early eighties,
so I've been around the block a few times.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
These iv F.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Labs occasionally, very occasionally, really screw up.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And how do they really screw up? They make mistakes.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You know, a Petrie dish is left and not appropriately,
the fertilization is in appropriate, or it's left out on
a counter, or it's mislabeled it belongs to someone else.
I mean, they're careful, and it happens, and the lawsuits
hit and they can be pretty heavy. And I've known
several high, high end clinics where it's just you know,
these people are they're human that do this and people
(04:37):
make mistakes. Now what kind of damages are these people
going to have? Well, if they undergo in vitro fertilization again,
and I guarantee you if this allegation has some legs
to it, then they're going to get a lot of
free IVF procedures And if they end up having a child, their.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Damages are going to be very very limited.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
If it turns out this is their last go round
and there is no way after this procedure and these
embryos were discarded, they could ever have biological children. It's
another animal completely so. And by the way, this doctor,
I've been out of it for a lot of years.
I'm not aware of him because I what years ago,
I knew everybody in the field. He is a pretty
(05:22):
high end well noted. Twenty twenty seventeen episode of Keeping
Up with the Kardashians, Chloe sister Kim received an ultrasound
of what was going on inside her uterus in his
office that was filmed for the series Bad News There
she wasn't pregnant. In twenty twenty, she was featured on
the Doctor's YouTube channel. He discussed egg freezing. I've been
(05:45):
involved with that forever. And in Vogue of twenty nineteen
he was in an he appeared in an interview about
fertility and he said his office was described as being.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Opened seven days a week. That's yeah, it's a little
bit interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Although when someone's ovulation being someone's ovulating.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
So anyway, just wanted to share that with you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And the reason Jacob, my our board engineer producer extraordinary
brought that up because you know it was in my wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All right, let's do it. Mark there, you go hello, Mark, welcome.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, Hi, I have I'm having trouble meeting up with
a person that we need to sign a document together
on and I'm just wondering, can I just give him
the document, let him sign on his part of the document,
have that portion notarized, and then can he give the
document back to me, and then I go and get
(06:38):
my signature? Not two different notary.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
On one Yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The only thing a notary is doing is notarizing, putting
on paper an legal sense that this is the person
who appeared before me, and this is this person's signature.
There's no there's no rule that you have to go
in at the same time. There's no rule you have
to be at the same place. No, not at all.
(07:05):
You can go ahead and notarize anything you want at
any time and two signatures. The only thing is it
has to be obviously a legitimate notary, although I have
to tell you, do you know that they do now?
They do notaries on the internet. I just notarize something
on the internet. There are services where you talk to
a notary, and the one I had I was doing
(07:27):
some real estate, which is about as high end as
you can get in terms of needing notorization. And the
notary was in Florida, and I'm sitting here in California.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Can I see your driver's license? Please? You hold it up.
He goes through a whole thing that's recorded.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You sign it in front of him, and maybe even
was doc you signed. Maybe, But anyway, I look at
the Internet and the rules. I mean, you live in California, right,
what are you having notarized?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's like a little land use agreement.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, all right, so it's real estate and it has
to be notorized.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Find out if and you can go on just go
Internet notorization services.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
See how that works. Then you just sit in front
of a computer.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You literally you're on zoom, you know, WhatsApp or whatever,
and you notarize right there.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's really neat, okay, try all right? All right? And
the answer is yeah, you don't have to.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You know what else I found out is I'm a
member of the Triple A, the Auto Automobile Club in
this case of southern California, but they're all over the
country and I'm one of those preferred members that I
pay for their high end service. You know, if my
car breaks down they come out and the guy who
drives the truck not only a shower that day, but
(08:47):
also speaks English and you pay.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
A lot of money for that.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Anyway, I didn't know that you get free notorization for
through the Auto Club, up to five documents per day.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh, it's kind of neat because I've been going.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
To ups and playing fifteen dollars per document.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That was kind of strange, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So now none of this is legal advice, but it's
just having been involved in a lot of notorizations. See
anything I can do on this show to sort of
move away from legal advice because generally, I, let's just say,
my legal advice is marginal, which is why I describe
the show the way I do. But when it comes
to stuff like yeah, I go to the Auto Club
and get notorization, See that's solid stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Hello Sam, Good morning, mister Handa.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I had a question for you. My child, my nephew
had a pain in his appendix and it was so
painful when went to the emergency room at the emergency
room in the hospital in California. They let him wait
fifteen hours in the emergency room. The last three hours
of tour and in in the middle of it from
the pain. They used to come and give him codeine
(09:54):
and wait week week.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay, hold on, hang as Sam. He was in the
waiting room for fifteen hours.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, in the emergency room.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yes, in the emergency room.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So he was already on a journey in the emergency room, correct, yes, sir, okay,
got it. And they would come in and okay, fair enough,
and then we give him codeine for the paint.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
The last two hours okay, two hours, hour fourteen and fifteen,
he had a high temperature. His appendix exploded inside his body,
so it burst and they kept yeah at first, and
after that they took him into the emergency to the inside,
you know, and did the surgery procedure, and they kept
(10:39):
him twenty one days at the hospital. Twenty two days
after that.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Now he's at the home.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
There is a tube coming out of his stomach and
he's still on IV. Spent almost months and a half,
didn't eat anything. He's twenty one years old, bad, you know,
away from his school, away from his work. Yes, and
still there, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You no, I understand.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
We have a lot of residual issues going on. And
your question is, let me guess, do I have a case.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yes, Yeah, The answer is yes.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The answer is I do believe you have a case.
I mean, based on what you said. Hell, yes, you
have a case. Usually sorry about that on some froggy
in my throat. Now, Usually I would ask you questions like,
let's look at the the let's look at.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
The quality of care in that area.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Did was this just it's this happens, there's a certain
percentage of people were an appendix? Burse was the quality
of care within those limits? Even though maybe it's at
the bottom of those limits? How much negligence and how
much worse is he off now based on his negligence
that he would have been if they in fact did
(11:56):
the precision procedure at the open at the appropriate time
and diagnosed the purpet time.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Throwing all that aside, I think you've met uh, the
baseline on every single one of those Yes, based on
what you said, Sam, he's got one hell of a case.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And you have to see a medical map.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You got you have to go to a medical malpractice attorney,
like right now, as soon as you hang out.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Okay, until now, there there's a nurse comes every twenty foot.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
No, you don't have to tell me you don't even
have to tell me, Sam, you don't have to tell
me you.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You know, there's there's enough there that I don't even
have to hear anymore. Uh, go to handle on the
law dot com and ask. You'll get either a referral
or the attorneys will just give you the advice and
what to do. It's handle on the law dot com. Okay, Yes,
all right?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Try that. Yeah, do I have a case?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Sometimes they're kind of yeah, they meet it and it
doesn't take much of an expert, not that I'm a
great expert to tell you that's a good case. Sherry, Hello, Sherry.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Hi, do I've lived in this apartment for twenty four
years and they recently told me that I need it upstairs,
so they want to move me to a low downstairs apartment.
It's already been renovated. And she told me, if you
give me new appliances and she take the carpet out
(13:19):
so I can have a wood floor, And she wants
to raise my rent from sixteen hundred dollars to two
thousand dollars, and she told me if I don't take it,
then she's going to raise it to twenty three fifty.
Can they do that.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
If they're renovating the place and they have to put
you up while they're renovating, they can redo the apartment
they're allowed.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Well, she's not putting me up anywhere. She's moving me
to a downstairs apartment.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Well, she has to pay for all of these expenses
involved in moving everything. I mean the furniture, your pots, pans,
your dishes, your clothes, you put them in boxes, suitcases,
and they have to do everything and then move you back.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's all all no, No.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
She doesn't want me to move back. She wants me
to take this apartment that's downstairs.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I don't think you have to And are you in
a month to month?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
You know, I'm thinking if she's saying she wants she
is right.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
She can renovate your place and basically a vict you
just straight out where what's city?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Do you live in?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Sherry in Vista in North.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
County, Okay, North County in North Orange County, Okay?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, And there's not much rank control there.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, she can say you're out and I'm going to renovate.
She's willing to move you downstairs where she wants you
to take the downstairs?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
What's market already renovate the apartment.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
What's market rent? What's market rent?
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Twenty twenty three fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, it sounds like a deal.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Sixteen sixty five.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, yeah, you can do it if if she's renovating,
and that's exactly what she's doing, she can raise.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
My rent from sixteen hundred yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Three, yep, absolutely. I think she may be limited to
ten percent. No, I think she can do it because
she's renovating the apartment, basically. Yeah, yeah, that's one.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Of the exceptions.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Mike Hello, Mike.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yes, sir, I.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Get a leanwood tenant dispute. I live in a duplex
that is townhouses on each side, and the rent's pretty cheap.
Thirteen to fifty a month.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, no kidding, Is that for a while? Is that
like a one bedroom?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
No, it's a three bedroom.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Three bedroom for thirteen hundred. Where is that, by the way,
in the middle of the Mohave Desert.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Where is that?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
It's in New Hampshire in the Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
But I mean that is okay, that's a great, great deal. Okay,
So what's your question? Because I am an expert on
New Hampshire, waw you. It just so happens to be
that even though I'm licensed in California, I know New
Hampshire waw cold.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So let's go ahead, and what's your question, mark, Mike?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Okay. So the units were built in two thousand and one,
and there was one tenant in the unit before myself,
and they moved out in two thousand and six, and
I've been there since two thousand and six. The landlord
I was wrinting from stoles, all the duke boxes into
(17:41):
twenty twenty two, the new owner came in, looked at
all the units before he brought them, said yep, I'll
buy him. So he bought him. And then two months
later he comes in and he inspects them all again,
and he tells me that I damaged the unit.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
M what kind of damage? What what? Mike? What damages?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
He say, you you did to the unit carpet and linoleum.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Carpet, linoleum you damaged?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Okay, how so no holes, no holes, wear and tear.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Okay, it's just straight out wear in tear, all right.
And then he considers that damage all right, right, And
so for.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Me, in order for me to continue living there, I
have to give him ten thousand dollars to repair the damage,
replace all the trap, littanoleum floors and paint the wall.
And I basically looked at him like, are you crazy? Yeah?
And he is. Great.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Now, the question is can you do it? Okay? Where
and tear you are not responsible for? I'll tell you
that right now.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Normal wear and tear is not on you, and so
it's on the landlord. And usually that is replaced linoleum, carpeting,
whatever flooring is replaced when you leave.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Same thing with pain.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Although wear and tear after twenty years, you're gonna have
wear in tair on the on the walls. So here,
here's what you do. You say no now? He then
threatens to throw you out.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, you're paying.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Thirteen to fifty months. How much is market how much
is mike? How much is market share? Right now for
a three bedroom where you live twenty seven twenty seven
hundred dollars okay, and you're paying thirteen fifty so you
are paying fourteen hundred dollars less than market right okay,
and he wants ten grand and so in six months
(19:40):
you are paying market share and then it drops down again.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Let me suggest what you should do. Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Does he have a right to throw you out? Yeah,
I'm assuming you're on a month to month now and yeah,
landlords unless there's some kind of right now, Okay, you're
on a yearly leads. Okay, So at the end of
the lead he can say it's real pleasure, Mike, You're gone,
and I am now going to invest and I'm going
to get twenty seven hundred bucks and I don't have
(20:10):
to take a fourteen hundred dollars dump.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Here's my suggestion to you.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Because I think he can do that, he can ask
you to leave, Why don't you negotiate with him and say,
tell you what what if I give you five thousand dollars,
let's split it. You have such a smoking deal, Mike,
that anything reasonable?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I mean, I don't know pending any kind of rent.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Control, which I gotta tell yet to be honest with you,
when I told you I know New Hampshire law cold.
I know every area of New Hampshire law other than
landlord tenant. You pick the one area of New Hampshire
law that I am not an expert in.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Damn you were so on.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Okay, you have no rent control, then he can well,
I said, pending that, then he, at the end of
the lease can evict you say, I don't want you
to hear anymore. I'm surprised he hasn't said already. You
know what you're paying twenty seven hundred dollars. And that
may be a state statue where you can't raise that much. California,
for example, we have a statute statewise you can't raise
(21:13):
more than ten percent when there's a rate increase.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I think it's ten percent annually. It's the most you
can be raised.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
So I checked with the state and the antipate.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, you check to see you look, you just look
rent control a maxim amount of rent increase.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's easy.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
You just do the search wars and you cut the deal. Now,
how long is your lease for.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
I have to be out by octob thirty first.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
All right, I would do if you're willing, Here's what
I'm gonna suggest you do is say, let's negotiate the cost.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You know, I know you want ten thousand dollars. This
is wear and tear.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You don't have to replace the carpony of linolium because
at that point you want to stay and you're not
going to hassle it. And let's say he gives you,
you give him five thousand, seven thousand dollars whatever, And
you say, can I pay you over the course of
six months or a year whatever? Then and you say,
by the way, you don't have to do anything. I'm
just telling you what I would do. This is not
(22:10):
legal advice. This is staying out of.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
An illegal predicament.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And then you get as long a lease as you
possibly can, because here's the fear. You give him money,
and all of a sudden at the end of the
lease period he throws you out anyway, And what he
has done is gotten you to pay for what he
has to do for the new tenant, because if.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
He's going to get a little wrench thrown into the well,
he's replacing, has already replaced all the grouping on all
the unions, okay, also replaced all the siding, all the
windows and doors in all the deaths okay. And in
(22:57):
the other units where somehow he get those people, He's
replaced all the floor okay.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
He wants so he's trying, so he wants every he
what he wants his market rent.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And he's willing to invest.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
He's willing to invest for that, and and part of
it is getting you out. And so what it sounds
like is he's trying to get you to pay for
a good chunk of it, and by the way, also
get you out. He's doing an end around, all right.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He's trying to get you to pay while he kicks
you out.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
That's why I'm saying, get the longest lease possible. Get
a three year lease, get a five year lease with
rent increases.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Say okay, I'll give you three percent more and then
three percent more after that all the way through.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Because you're paying ten percent more to stay without a
long term lease, you're crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And if he's not willing.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
To give you a lease, then what he's doing is
taking ten thousand dollars from you or whatever and then
he throws you out.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
That's what it smells like.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
So to top it all up, in the lease at
stakes twenty four hour notice for entry.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah that's every lease.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah yeah, and yeah, there's all he has to give
you twenty four hour notice then come in. But it
has to be for it has to be reasonable entry.
I mean, he just can't go through. But he's saying,
I want to replace, I want to see wear and tear.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah he can do that.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
He has work as independent work is doing roping and
fighting and windows. Okay, he knock on the door. Okay,
then they walk in?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well, and what are saying? They knock on the door?
Do you open the door for them? And then they
walk in or they go through the door?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
No? Oh okay, they have a mash the key.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Oh and they walk in without twenty four hours? Okay,
you let him know you can't do that, because what
do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay, what do you want to do? You want to
assume him?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You gonna take him to court and a court order
says you can't do that anymore. And your attorney goes,
here's five thousand dollars for the pleasure of doing that.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yeah I know, yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You're paying thirteen hundred dollars for a twenty seven hundred
dollar place.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
You Betty wants you out? You bet you? Carlos your turn?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
What can I do for you? Hey Bill, my name
is Carlos, and I want to have a case.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Uh, my mother in law works for a college campus.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
She's a custodial, she's a she's is housekeeping.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
So for three years, her supervisor or manager, Uh what
they didn't know that she was a convicted murderer who you're.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Talking about the supervisor, not your mother in law.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Supervisor.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh, I just get very excited there and asked about
your mother in law.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Right, Okay, the supervisor was a convicted murderer who is
clearly out.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Uh and okay, now what Yeah, so for three years
she was basically she did harassment, mistreatment, preferential treatment towards
other employees and uh.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
And now that she's uh.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
And then he and my mother in law.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
At the same time, she did claim workers comp because
she got hurt.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
So now I guess the question is does she have
any kind of cations getting calm compensation for the the
contractor not betting the supervisor?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
No, because what is Let me ask you a question,
what does the conviction for murder have to do with
discrimination against your mother in law? Where do where does
the two connect?
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I see, yeah, there's nothing there, because I mean, okay,
it was a convicted murderer.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I'm in the school district still hired him, where the
university still hired him.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Good for them.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I wouldn't hire a convicted murder unless they're I don't
even know the story.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I'm sure it's a good one.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
But no, and what your mother can argue is not
particularly discrimination hostile work environment. Now I'm what what race
ethnicity is your mother in law? I'm as so many
Hispanic because your name is Carlos and I'm just making.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
A wildc that is correct. Okay. So with that, at
the convicted murder supervisor, what's the race there?
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Uh say, is Hispanic as well?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
He? Okay, then it just gets kind of hard to
ar argue that one Hispanic is discriminating.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's another Hispanic because that person is Hispanic.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Uh and how many other Hispanics are in her immediate
work environment?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Much? All of them?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, you see, it's gonna so there you're not gonna
be able to nail on discrimination. But hostile work environment
maybe that is a different story because that has nothing
to do with ethnicity or discrimination per se. So the
trick on that one is to call a workplace discrimination attorney.
They're out there, there's it's a subspecialty. I mean, it's
(27:37):
a specialty workplace discrimination. And you get to look that
one up because I don't I can't refer to anybody.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I just don't have anybody that I know that does it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Because they were also discriminated hostilely against them.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
What what about fear of retaliation if she gets out
or something happens.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Is this again, that's work?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That's that is workplace discrimination. What do you mean when
she gets out? Who's we the supervisor?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yea, she gets out, she gets out?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Wait a second, hold on the supervisor is in jail now? Correct? Great?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
All right, for murder, that's a good story. Okay, hostile
work environment. I still don't understand the harassment. A matter
of fact, maybe the supervisor has a case against your
mother in law saying you were so hostile to me
you made me go out and kill someone. How's that
for a lawsuit. It's a good set of circumstances.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
That's not bad.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Let me tell you about your breath. My breath, it's
no fun. And what do you normally do to take
care of it? Well, usually you put a mint in
your mouth. And here's where Zelman's minty Mouthman's come in.
Because this is not just a min I don't even
know why they call it a man. They should call
it Zelman's much more than a mint, minty mouth.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Mint because what it does certainly takes care of the
mouth part. Because it's mint on the outside of the.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Little capsules that you suck on, and then mint part
is gone and okay, your mouth is fresh.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Then it goes down in your gut.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You either swallow the cats or you bite into them
and they go to work in your gut and work
with the food because so much of your breath happens
because of the foods you eat. Garlic, onions. I happen
to love garlic and onions.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
But you know you smell like it.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
For hours afterwards. Uh So it takes care of that,
and then you've got to dry mouth. It works for that,
and then you just feel good, fresh and clean. You
know how good you feel after you brush your teeth
and just for a little while. Well, with Zelmans, you
really feel good for hours. That's Zelman's been team Mouthmans.
So let me suggest you go to Zelmans dot com

Speaker 2 (29:51):
This is handle on the law,
I really look forward to this show. I mean, Monday
through Friday is fun. God, was I off the rails
last yesterday? It was just Neil and I went out
of our minds. Monday through Friday is not about humiliating you.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Saturday is. So let's start the roller coaster ride.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
First phone numbers eight phone number eight hundred five two
zero one five three four, eight hundred five two zero one.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Five three four.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Last week we went I think a full two hours
and no one could get in because our lines were full.
So it's sort of a toin cost coin toss here
and so at top of the hour, first hour always
the best time to call number eight hundred five two
zero one five three four eight hundred five two zero
(00:48):
one five three four. I think by now I would
have memorized that number, because I've only been giving it
out for twenty five years, maybe no thirty years, and
I still don't have it memorized.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I don't have it up in front of me. I
just forget the number. Scary stuff. What's the number again? Oh?
Here it is eight hundred and five two zero one
five three four.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
This is handle on the law marginal legal advice, where
I bill handle tell you, whatever your name is, that
you have absolutely no case and hopefully human humiliate you
in the process.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Okay, a couple of stories I want to share with you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Actually one as I start this hour, and that is
if this is right in my wheelhouse, and this is
an LA based fertility clinic, and these people do IVF
in mutual fertilization, which my kids were born of IVF.
And for those of you that know about in vitual fertilization,
(01:52):
you know exactly what I'm talking about the process. For
those of you that do not know how it all works,
this is proof positive that God is a man.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Because women who are producing the egg, it is a
medical procedure.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It is not fun.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Drugs are taken in advance by weeks uncomfortable, and then
the actual procedure is I'm gonna get into the specifics,
but it's painful and you're sore for a long time.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Women are sore. Men your hand a little dixie cup.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And mister hand will just go in the other room
and just take care of this.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Just bring this thing back with you know, a specimen,
and that's what guys do. Go in the other room
and you know, let's just say, you know, how do
I do this without? No, I don't. I just tell you.
They go in the other room and out they come
with a specimen. All right. So there is this clinic,
and it's all over the place, these idef clinics.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And there is one, and I think it's in the
West Valley, if I'm not in state West San Franto Valley.
And among the people, among the clients, the patients of
this doctor Andy Hwang of Reproductive Partners Medical Group, Kim Kardashian,
Paris Hilton, chrisy Tigan. And the report from the Dailymail
(03:14):
dot co dot uk.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's a British paper. So this is a report.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
From them, and I just want to tell you that
I have not yet gotten confirmation, but I have no
problem telling you this is the.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Report that there is a couple.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Who is suing them, not one of these famous couples,
but is a couple and they are arguing that their
embryos were discarded by the clinic and allegedly and I'm
assuming that the argument or the lawsuit doesn't say it
was purposely done, it was done negligently.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Now I'm involved in.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Reproductive law and reproductive technology IVF, sperm.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Freezing, egg freezing.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
A donation, I mean, all of that since the early eighties,
so I've been around the block a few times.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
These iv F.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Labs occasionally, very occasionally, really screw up.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And how do they really screw up? They make mistakes.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You know, a Petrie dish is left and not appropriately,
the fertilization is in appropriate, or it's left out on
a counter, or it's mislabeled it belongs to someone else.
I mean, they're careful, and it happens, and the lawsuits
hit and they can be pretty heavy. And I've known
several high, high end clinics where it's just you know,
these people are they're human that do this and people
(04:37):
make mistakes. Now what kind of damages are these people
going to have? Well, if they undergo in vitro fertilization again,
and I guarantee you if this allegation has some legs
to it, then they're going to get a lot of
free IVF procedures And if they end up having a child, their.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Damages are going to be very very limited.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
If it turns out this is their last go round
and there is no way after this procedure and these
embryos were discarded, they could ever have biological children. It's
another animal completely so. And by the way, this doctor,
I've been out of it for a lot of years.
I'm not aware of him because I what years ago,
I knew everybody in the field. He is a pretty
(05:22):
high end well noted. Twenty twenty seventeen episode of Keeping
Up with the Kardashians, Chloe sister Kim received an ultrasound
of what was going on inside her uterus in his
office that was filmed for the series Bad News There
she wasn't pregnant. In twenty twenty, she was featured on
the Doctor's YouTube channel. He discussed egg freezing. I've been
(05:45):
involved with that forever. And in Vogue of twenty nineteen
he was in an he appeared in an interview about
fertility and he said his office was described as being.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Opened seven days a week. That's yeah, it's a little
bit interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Although when someone's ovulation being someone's ovulating.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
So anyway, just wanted to share that with you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And the reason Jacob, my our board engineer producer extraordinary
brought that up because you know it was in my wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All right, let's do it. Mark there, you go hello, Mark, welcome.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, Hi, I have I'm having trouble meeting up with
a person that we need to sign a document together
on and I'm just wondering, can I just give him
the document, let him sign on his part of the document,
have that portion notarized, and then can he give the
document back to me, and then I go and get
(06:38):
my signature? Not two different notary.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
On one Yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The only thing a notary is doing is notarizing, putting
on paper an legal sense that this is the person
who appeared before me, and this is this person's signature.
There's no there's no rule that you have to go
in at the same time. There's no rule you have
to be at the same place. No, not at all.
(07:05):
You can go ahead and notarize anything you want at
any time and two signatures. The only thing is it
has to be obviously a legitimate notary, although I have
to tell you, do you know that they do now?
They do notaries on the internet. I just notarize something
on the internet. There are services where you talk to
a notary, and the one I had I was doing
(07:27):
some real estate, which is about as high end as
you can get in terms of needing notorization. And the
notary was in Florida, and I'm sitting here in California.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Can I see your driver's license? Please? You hold it up.
He goes through a whole thing that's recorded.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You sign it in front of him, and maybe even
was doc you signed. Maybe, But anyway, I look at
the Internet and the rules. I mean, you live in California, right,
what are you having notarized?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's like a little land use agreement.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, all right, so it's real estate and it has
to be notorized.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Find out if and you can go on just go
Internet notorization services.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
See how that works. Then you just sit in front
of a computer.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You literally you're on zoom, you know, WhatsApp or whatever,
and you notarize right there.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's really neat, okay, try all right? All right? And
the answer is yeah, you don't have to.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You know what else I found out is I'm a
member of the Triple A, the Auto Automobile Club in
this case of southern California, but they're all over the
country and I'm one of those preferred members that I
pay for their high end service. You know, if my
car breaks down they come out and the guy who
drives the truck not only a shower that day, but
(08:47):
also speaks English and you pay.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
A lot of money for that.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Anyway, I didn't know that you get free notorization for
through the Auto Club, up to five documents per day.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh, it's kind of neat because I've been going.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
To ups and playing fifteen dollars per document.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That was kind of strange, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So now none of this is legal advice, but it's
just having been involved in a lot of notorizations. See
anything I can do on this show to sort of
move away from legal advice because generally, I, let's just say,
my legal advice is marginal, which is why I describe
the show the way I do. But when it comes
to stuff like yeah, I go to the Auto Club
and get notorization, See that's solid stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Hello Sam, Good morning, mister Handa.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I had a question for you. My child, my nephew
had a pain in his appendix and it was so
painful when went to the emergency room at the emergency
room in the hospital in California. They let him wait
fifteen hours in the emergency room. The last three hours
of tour and in in the middle of it from
the pain. They used to come and give him codeine
(09:54):
and wait week week.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay, hold on, hang as Sam. He was in the
waiting room for fifteen hours.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, in the emergency room.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yes, in the emergency room.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So he was already on a journey in the emergency room, correct, yes, sir, okay,
got it. And they would come in and okay, fair enough,
and then we give him codeine for the paint.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
The last two hours okay, two hours, hour fourteen and fifteen,
he had a high temperature. His appendix exploded inside his body,
so it burst and they kept yeah at first, and
after that they took him into the emergency to the inside,
you know, and did the surgery procedure, and they kept
(10:39):
him twenty one days at the hospital. Twenty two days
after that.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Now he's at the home.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
There is a tube coming out of his stomach and
he's still on IV. Spent almost months and a half,
didn't eat anything. He's twenty one years old, bad, you know,
away from his school, away from his work. Yes, and
still there, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You no, I understand.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
We have a lot of residual issues going on. And
your question is, let me guess, do I have a case.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yes, Yeah, The answer is yes.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The answer is I do believe you have a case.
I mean, based on what you said. Hell, yes, you
have a case. Usually sorry about that on some froggy
in my throat. Now, Usually I would ask you questions like,
let's look at the the let's look at.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
The quality of care in that area.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Did was this just it's this happens, there's a certain
percentage of people were an appendix? Burse was the quality
of care within those limits? Even though maybe it's at
the bottom of those limits? How much negligence and how
much worse is he off now based on his negligence
that he would have been if they in fact did
(11:56):
the precision procedure at the open at the appropriate time
and diagnosed the purpet time.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Throwing all that aside, I think you've met uh, the
baseline on every single one of those Yes, based on
what you said, Sam, he's got one hell of a case.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And you have to see a medical map.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You got you have to go to a medical malpractice attorney,
like right now, as soon as you hang out.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Okay, until now, there there's a nurse comes every twenty foot.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
No, you don't have to tell me you don't even
have to tell me, Sam, you don't have to tell
me you.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You know, there's there's enough there that I don't even
have to hear anymore. Uh, go to handle on the
law dot com and ask. You'll get either a referral
or the attorneys will just give you the advice and
what to do. It's handle on the law dot com. Okay, Yes,
all right?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Try that. Yeah, do I have a case?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Sometimes they're kind of yeah, they meet it and it
doesn't take much of an expert, not that I'm a
great expert to tell you that's a good case. Sherry, Hello, Sherry.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Hi, do I've lived in this apartment for twenty four
years and they recently told me that I need it upstairs,
so they want to move me to a low downstairs apartment.
It's already been renovated. And she told me, if you
give me new appliances and she take the carpet out
(13:19):
so I can have a wood floor, And she wants
to raise my rent from sixteen hundred dollars to two
thousand dollars, and she told me if I don't take it,
then she's going to raise it to twenty three fifty.
Can they do that.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
If they're renovating the place and they have to put
you up while they're renovating, they can redo the apartment
they're allowed.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Well, she's not putting me up anywhere. She's moving me
to a downstairs apartment.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Well, she has to pay for all of these expenses
involved in moving everything. I mean the furniture, your pots, pans,
your dishes, your clothes, you put them in boxes, suitcases,
and they have to do everything and then move you back.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's all all no, No.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
She doesn't want me to move back. She wants me
to take this apartment that's downstairs.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I don't think you have to And are you in
a month to month?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
You know, I'm thinking if she's saying she wants she
is right.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
She can renovate your place and basically a vict you
just straight out where what's city?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Do you live in?

Sherry in Vista in North.
Speaker 1 (14:31):

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, And there's not much rank control there.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, she can say you're out and I'm going to renovate.
She's willing to move you downstairs where she wants you
to take the downstairs?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
What's market already renovate the apartment.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
Twenty twenty three fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, it sounds like a deal.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Sixteen sixty five.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, yeah, you can do it if if she's renovating,
and that's exactly what she's doing, she can raise.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
My rent from sixteen hundred yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Three, yep, absolutely. I think she may be limited to
ten percent. No, I think she can do it because

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, no kidding, Is that for a while? Is that
like a one bedroom?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
No, it's a three bedroom.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Three bedroom for thirteen hundred. Where is that, by the way,
in the middle of the Mohave Desert.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Where is that?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
It's in New Hampshire in the Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
But I mean that is okay, that's a great, great deal. Okay,
So what's your question? Because I am an expert on
New Hampshire, waw you. It just so happens to be
that even though I'm licensed in California, I know New
Hampshire waw cold.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So let's go ahead, and what's your question, mark, Mike?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Okay. So the units were built in two thousand and one,
and there was one tenant in the unit before myself,
and they moved out in two thousand and six, and
I've been there since two thousand and six. The landlord
I was wrinting from stoles, all the duke boxes into
(17:41):
twenty twenty two, the new owner came in, looked at
all the units before he brought them, said yep, I'll
buy him. So he bought him. And then two months
later he comes in and he inspects them all again,
and he tells me that I damaged the unit.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
M what kind of damage? What what? Mike? What damages?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
He say, you you did to the unit carpet and linoleum.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Carpet, linoleum you damaged?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Okay, how so no holes, no holes, wear and tear.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Okay, it's just straight out wear in tear, all right.
And then he considers that damage all right, right, And
so for.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Me, in order for me to continue living there, I
have to give him ten thousand dollars to repair the damage,
replace all the trap, littanoleum floors and paint the wall.
And I basically looked at him like, are you crazy? Yeah?
And he is. Great.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Now, the question is can you do it? Okay? Where
and tear you are not responsible for? I'll tell you
that right now.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Normal wear and tear is not on you, and so
it's on the landlord. And usually that is replaced linoleum, carpeting,
whatever flooring is replaced when you leave.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Same thing with pain.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Although wear and tear after twenty years, you're gonna have
wear in tair on the on the walls. So here,
here's what you do. You say no now? He then
threatens to throw you out.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, you're paying.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Thirteen to fifty months. How much is market how much
is mike? How much is market share? Right now for
a three bedroom where you live twenty seven twenty seven
hundred dollars okay, and you're paying thirteen fifty so you
are paying fourteen hundred dollars less than market right okay,
and he wants ten grand and so in six months
(19:40):
you are paying market share and then it drops down again.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Let me suggest what you should do. Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Does he have a right to throw you out? Yeah,
I'm assuming you're on a month to month now and yeah,
landlords unless there's some kind of right now, Okay, you're
on a yearly leads. Okay, So at the end of
the lead he can say it's real pleasure, Mike, You're gone,
and I am now going to invest and I'm going
to get twenty seven hundred bucks and I don't have
(20:10):
to take a fourteen hundred dollars dump.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Here's my suggestion to you.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Because I think he can do that, he can ask
you to leave, Why don't you negotiate with him and say,
tell you what what if I give you five thousand dollars,
let's split it. You have such a smoking deal, Mike,
that anything reasonable?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I mean, I don't know pending any kind of rent.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Control, which I gotta tell yet to be honest with you,
when I told you I know New Hampshire law cold.
I know every area of New Hampshire law other than
landlord tenant. You pick the one area of New Hampshire
law that I am not an expert in.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Damn you were so on.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Okay, you have no rent control, then he can well,
I said, pending that, then he, at the end of
the lease can evict you say, I don't want you
to hear anymore. I'm surprised he hasn't said already. You
know what you're paying twenty seven hundred dollars. And that
may be a state statue where you can't raise that much. California,
for example, we have a statute statewise you can't raise
(21:13):
more than ten percent when there's a rate increase.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I think it's ten percent annually. It's the most you
can be raised.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
So I checked with the state and the antipate.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, you check to see you look, you just look
rent control a maxim amount of rent increase.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's easy.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
You just do the search wars and you cut the deal. Now,
how long is your lease for.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
I have to be out by octob thirty first.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
All right, I would do if you're willing, Here's what
I'm gonna suggest you do is say, let's negotiate the cost.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You know, I know you want ten thousand dollars. This
is wear and tear.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You don't have to replace the carpony of linolium because
at that point you want to stay and you're not
going to hassle it. And let's say he gives you,
you give him five thousand, seven thousand dollars whatever, And
you say, can I pay you over the course of
six months or a year whatever? Then and you say,
by the way, you don't have to do anything. I'm
just telling you what I would do. This is not
(22:10):
legal advice. This is staying out of.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
An illegal predicament.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And then you get as long a lease as you
possibly can, because here's the fear. You give him money,
and all of a sudden at the end of the
lease period he throws you out anyway, And what he
has done is gotten you to pay for what he
has to do for the new tenant, because if.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
He's going to get a little wrench thrown into the well,
he's replacing, has already replaced all the grouping on all
the unions, okay, also replaced all the siding, all the
windows and doors in all the deaths okay. And in
(22:57):
the other units where somehow he get those people, He's
replaced all the floor okay.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
He wants so he's trying, so he wants every he
what he wants his market rent.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And he's willing to invest.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
He's willing to invest for that, and and part of
it is getting you out. And so what it sounds
like is he's trying to get you to pay for
a good chunk of it, and by the way, also
get you out. He's doing an end around, all right.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He's trying to get you to pay while he kicks
you out.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
That's why I'm saying, get the longest lease possible. Get
a three year lease, get a five year lease with
rent increases.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Say okay, I'll give you three percent more and then
three percent more after that all the way through.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Because you're paying ten percent more to stay without a
long term lease, you're crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And if he's not willing.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
To give you a lease, then what he's doing is
taking ten thousand dollars from you or whatever and then
he throws you out.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
That's what it smells like.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
So to top it all up, in the lease at
stakes twenty four hour notice for entry.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah that's every lease.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah yeah, and yeah, there's all he has to give
you twenty four hour notice then come in. But it
has to be for it has to be reasonable entry.
I mean, he just can't go through. But he's saying,
I want to replace, I want to see wear and tear.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah he can do that.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
He has work as independent work is doing roping and
fighting and windows. Okay, he knock on the door. Okay,
then they walk in?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well, and what are saying? They knock on the door?
Do you open the door for them? And then they
walk in or they go through the door?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
No? Oh okay, they have a mash the key.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Oh and they walk in without twenty four hours? Okay,
you let him know you can't do that, because what
do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay, what do you want to do? You want to
assume him?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You gonna take him to court and a court order
says you can't do that anymore. And your attorney goes,
here's five thousand dollars for the pleasure of doing that.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yeah I know, yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You're paying thirteen hundred dollars for a twenty seven hundred
dollar place.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
You Betty wants you out? You bet you? Carlos your turn?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
What can I do for you? Hey Bill, my name
is Carlos, and I want to have a case.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Uh, my mother in law works for a college campus.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
She's a custodial, she's a she's is housekeeping.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
So for three years, her supervisor or manager, Uh what
they didn't know that she was a convicted murderer who you're.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Talking about the supervisor, not your mother in law.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Supervisor.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh, I just get very excited there and asked about
your mother in law.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Right, Okay, the supervisor was a convicted murderer who is
clearly out.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Uh and okay, now what Yeah, so for three years
she was basically she did harassment, mistreatment, preferential treatment towards
other employees and uh.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
And now that she's uh.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
And then he and my mother in law.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
At the same time, she did claim workers comp because
she got hurt.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
So now I guess the question is does she have
any kind of cations getting calm compensation for the the
contractor not betting the supervisor?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
No, because what is Let me ask you a question,
what does the conviction for murder have to do with
discrimination against your mother in law? Where do where does
the two connect?
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I see, yeah, there's nothing there, because I mean, okay,
it was a convicted murderer.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I'm in the school district still hired him, where the
university still hired him.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Good for them.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I wouldn't hire a convicted murder unless they're I don't
even know the story.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I'm sure it's a good one.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
But no, and what your mother can argue is not
particularly discrimination hostile work environment. Now I'm what what race
ethnicity is your mother in law? I'm as so many
Hispanic because your name is Carlos and I'm just making.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
A wildc that is correct. Okay. So with that, at
the convicted murder supervisor, what's the race there?
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Uh say, is Hispanic as well?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
He? Okay, then it just gets kind of hard to
ar argue that one Hispanic is discriminating.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's another Hispanic because that person is Hispanic.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Uh and how many other Hispanics are in her immediate
work environment?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Much? All of them?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, you see, it's gonna so there you're not gonna
be able to nail on discrimination. But hostile work environment
maybe that is a different story because that has nothing
to do with ethnicity or discrimination per se. So the
trick on that one is to call a workplace discrimination attorney.
They're out there, there's it's a subspecialty. I mean, it's
(27:37):
a specialty workplace discrimination. And you get to look that
one up because I don't I can't refer to anybody.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I just don't have anybody that I know that does it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Because they were also discriminated hostilely against them.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
What what about fear of retaliation if she gets out
or something happens.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Is this again, that's work?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That's that is workplace discrimination. What do you mean when
she gets out? Who's we the supervisor?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yea, she gets out, she gets out?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Wait a second, hold on the supervisor is in jail now? Correct? Great?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
All right, for murder, that's a good story. Okay, hostile
work environment. I still don't understand the harassment. A matter
of fact, maybe the supervisor has a case against your
mother in law saying you were so hostile to me
you made me go out and kill someone. How's that
for a lawsuit. It's a good set of circumstances.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
That's not bad.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Let me tell you about your breath. My breath, it's
no fun. And what do you normally do to take
care of it? Well, usually you put a mint in
your mouth. And here's where Zelman's minty Mouthman's come in.
Because this is not just a min I don't even
know why they call it a man. They should call
it Zelman's much more than a mint, minty mouth.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Mint because what it does certainly takes care of the
mouth part. Because it's mint on the outside of the.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Little capsules that you suck on, and then mint part
is gone and okay, your mouth is fresh.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Then it goes down in your gut.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You either swallow the cats or you bite into them
and they go to work in your gut and work
with the food because so much of your breath happens
because of the foods you eat. Garlic, onions. I happen
to love garlic and onions.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
But you know you smell like it.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
For hours afterwards. Uh So it takes care of that,
and then you've got to dry mouth. It works for that,
and then you just feel good, fresh and clean. You
know how good you feel after you brush your teeth
and just for a little while. Well, with Zelmans, you
really feel good for hours. That's Zelman's been team Mouthmans.
