paperfairy asked:how can I convince my landlord to replace broken doors? I am renting a home that has 1. A door from an alleyway to a garden 2. A door from the garden to the garage 3. A door from a driveway to the garage 4. A door from the garage into the home Door 1 is wood and steel - the wood is rotting, meaning the door cannot open and close clearly, and more importantly, the lock does not work. This means anybody can get into the garden. Door 2 is fine EXCEPT the lock does not work and needs to be replaced. Door 3 is the incorrect kind of door - the door being used is not fire proof at all, is very thin, and does not fit the door frame, meaning it is very easy to force open and gain entry into the home. Door 4 is operational but does not have a lock. My landlord has a history of being cheap or unwilling to do repairs. **Is there some sort of building / renting code / guideline that I can reference to convince him that safety is an issue and these doors need to be repaired?**

ratcookie asked:Relocation/ buyout payment taxes Does anyone know whether relocation/ buyout payments are taxable as income? Specifically if it’s a buyout payment that is ‘paying back’ rent that was collected fraudulently bc the unit is illegal? Any experiences/ info would be much appreciated. I am looking for a CPA in SF who has experience with this kind of situation but no luck thus far. Thanks

Jimmy H. asked:Does anyone happen to know if it is legal for a landlord to move someone into my room without a 24 hour notice? I'm in a hostel situation and the place seems to be legally listed as a hotel. The place is called the "Summer of Love" in San Francisco. There's also a laundry list of other possible/actual violations, so if anyone knows a good lawyer who's willing to help some students out that's be great. Thanks everybody!Bradley H. replied:I've heard good things about: http://www.sftu.org/
