12/15   Does anyone have experience investing in apartment buildings
        I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
        to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering
        for instance one requires 2 years of tax returns with the
        application. I'm in a position to buy a building, but I've
        got no experience with this, and I don't want to learn that

7/28    My girlfriend and I took care of my girlfriend's nephew for 3 weeks
        while his mom was off working for the Air Force (she is a reservist
        and a single mom). As part of that my girlfriend stayed at her
        apartment a lot, watching him and the cats. Occasionally he stayed
        at our house. It was a lot of responsibility. The weekend before
        she got back we spent a lot of time cleaning her place. In fact, I

        I had my day in court today. Was awarded the $350 he owed me, $150

        a pay stub, he probably would have given me money for PTO. The case
        went extremely quickly. He asked when I moved out, how long I lived

3/17    I posted on 2/10 about a landlord that stiffed me $600 on
        my deposit. I wrote him a "strongly worded letter" and followed it up
        with a "Pay up or I'm going to file a small claims court in 10 days"
        template. He didn't respond so I filed a claim, but the day I filed
        a claim, he wrote me back and added $250 to the deposit. If I hadn't
        already spent the $60 on the filing, I would have been happy and taken

Comments Georgia (default) Verdana Times New Roman Arial Font | Size: (02-19) 17:31 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco landlord couple accused of cutting floorboards from under their tenant as part of an alleged harassment campaign are back in jail after being indicted by a grand jury. The Macys were first arrested in April 2008, but were soon freed on $250,000 bail apiece. A preliminary hearing was scheduled, at which a judge would decide whether they should be tried, but earlier this month the grand jury returned indictments. The indictments - which restated charges already filed in amended complaints - meant the couple had to post bail again. This time, however, their bail-bond agent refused to help, citing the new allegations and the plunging value of the real estate the couple had put up as collateral. Kip Macy's attorney, Lisa DewBerry, sought Thursday to have bail lowered to $10,000, but Superior Court Judge Charles Haines turned her down. The Macys are accused of harassing tenants who were resisting eviction from an apartment building at 744-746 Clementina St. Prosecutors say the couple went so far as to cut the joists supporting the floor of one of the tenants, Scott Morrow. At one point, prosecutors said, Nicole Macy called 911 and reported Morrow as a vagrant sleeping in the building. After the original charges were filed, prosecutors went to a grand jury with allegations that Nicole Macy had impersonated Morrow in harassing e-mails to his lawyer. She also posed as Morrow in e-mails threatening the children of the Macys' attorneys, authorities said. Kip Macy was indicted on six stalking charges, four burglary counts, and one count each of theft, vandalism and receiving stolen property. Nicole Macy is charged with the stalking counts, three counts of burglary, two counts of false personation and counts of theft, making threats, cutting a phone and receiving stolen property.
