Reply to comment by FewProfession1412 in NH lawmakers considering bill to make it easier for landlords to evict tenants by tronhammer
If you had actually read the text of the bill or the article, you would know it has nothing to do with unpaid bills. At all. It's about landlords being able to actually enforce the end dates of leases, because apparently there's a loophole that lets tenants stay forever. It's the most common sense thing I've seen come out of our legislature recently, and I think most people would be surprised to learn that it doesn't already work this way.
Apparently tenants can just... stay forever, even after their lease expires, as long as the tenant keeps paying rent. Like, the end date on a lease means nothing. The landlord can't choose to lease it out to somebody else or take it off the market as long as the checks keep coming.
Thought you were going to rent out your cabin for the winter and then go stay there for a few months in the summer? Think again, because even though the lease ended, the tenant decided they really like it there and would actually like to stay longer, thank you very much. Indefinitely, perhaps. As long as they keep paying the previous rent and aren't subject to other causes for eviction, they can squat there as long as they want and you can't do anything about it.

Reply to comment by picklehaub in Urgently need 100 gal propane tank emptied. Any ideas? by nthat1
I have no stake in this, just a curious homeowner interested in safety. Two comments up, somebody said to never tip the tank on its side. Your comment and my own experience with propane tanks say that's not a concern. Are there certain tanks you can roll and ones you can't?

There's Port City Coffee Roasters in Portsmouth, haven't tried a light roast but their medium is one of my favorites, and there's New Hampshire Coffee Roasting Co in Dover. Not sure if either have Ethiopian, but I've bought great beans from both.

Reply to comment by 603ify in NH safety officials ask for vigilance as white supremacists promote 'day of hate' by ShamanicYogi
Are you seriously arguing that if I can't personally name a white supremacist then there aren't any? I can't name any arsonists, does that mean that there are no arsonists too? I don't know the names of any senators from Idaho, so Idaho must not have senators, right?
I don't have to personally identify or name them to know they exist. I see "white lives matter" signs in front of houses. I report graffiti swastikas to my town multiple times per year. My state and local officials, whom I pay with my taxes, have identified white supremacist activity on my behalf, and issued this warning, so that I don't have to waste my time with those scumbags.
Want to talk about disingenuous, how about we address this concept of "if you won't doxx the white supremacists on Reddit then they don't exist"?

Ok, but this revised law would require THREE VIOLENT FELONIES before firearm rights would be revoked. How about we meet in the middle and say 1 violent felony is too much?

Don't forget that they constructed a gallows on Capitol Hill specifically to hang the VP. They wanted to assassinate the Vice President.

Yeah, insulate the dividing wall between units very well except for the wall between your nursery and their master bedroom. Gotta make sure not to block the baby's cries!

You should file a claim with your homeowners insurance, and tell them that your neighbor is at fault here. Provide a statement from the fire department saying that the fire was in the other unit. Also write your own statement that you told them about the fire hazard, that they declined to deal with it for years, and that their negligence lead to damage to your primary home. That they knew this was going to happen and didn't do anything about it.
I know you said they didn't pay for their insurance, but that doesn't absolve them of their liability. You'll get your repairs taken care of, and the insurance company will probably go after them for the repair cost because you are not at fault. The emergency call wasn't even for your unit. Normally your insurance would go after the other person's insurance for damages, but if they didn't pay for insurance, well... they're liable for the damages themselves.

You probably want a real estate attorney for this one, will involve filing paperwork with the county registry like when you buy or sell a house. For something like this, I expect the attorneys fees will be well below the amount they owe you.

Reply to comment by AuthorSnow in AG: Police shot and killed teenager allegedly armed with knife in Gilford | New Hampshire Public Radio by ACOdysseybeatsRDR2
You can't use deadly force against somebody for HOLDING a knife. You don't have the right to use deadly force against a chef, do you? The article only says he was holding a knife. You're adding your own "facts" to this situation. "He got shot, so he must have deserved it" is the summary of your argument. That's NUTS. Being shot by the police doesn't make you guilty of a crime, and it also doesn't mean that deadly force was appropriate. One of the officers thought that a stun gun was sufficient. Why did the other cop go for deadly force, when the other cop didn't?

The law says the penalty for holding a knife is death on the spot? Weird.

Where did you read that the kid approached the cops with the knife? I only read that he had a knife, there was no mention of specifically what he did with it.

Cops get weekend-long training events (or have them on the job), always seem to have updated equipment and vehicles, have everything they require for their jobs provided for them, and get to just go home and relax when they clock out.
Teachers have to pay for most of their own professional development out of their pitiful salaries, and have to find time outside of school to do it. They still have hours of making lesson plans and grading papers when they get home at night. They're stuck with 10+ year old textbooks (if they're LUCKY), and have to buy their OWN classroom supplies out of their own pockets, which they can barely deduct on their taxes.
So yeah, cops get all the resources they need and can barely do their jobs. Schools get a pittance, and do amazing work with what little they have. Just imagine if our teachers were paid enough to lower their stress levels a bit, if kids actually had the supplies and support they really need, how amazing our educational outcomes could be?

Reply to comment by EVoltage1 in State plow shattered windshield by FaustusC
Insurance assigned my family member 50% liability and another driver 50% when a poorly secured picnic table flew out of a truck and smashed into her car. They said the first driver should have secured the load better, and the second driver should have left more space. So you might get SOMETHING, depending on the circumstances, but yeah for the most part you are responsible for leaving enough space to avoid hazards like that.

If you're responsible for damage caused by snow you failed to clear off of your car, you are certainly responsible for damage caused by unsecured buckets of concrete on your vehicle. For Pete's sake, they're practically just loose cannonballs if the truck is traveling at highway speeds.

There are lots of nonprofit daycares in NH, too, where the director makes a fixed salary and other than that all the earnings go right back into staffing, food, supplies, and facilities. They're broke too. It sucks.

You can probably get seeds now, because if they're expected to hit supermarket shelves in the next year then they must already be growing out huge amounts of seed to sell to farmers. It takes a long time to go from a small amount of seeds to a commercial quantity, multiple plant generations. Home gardeners get access to new varieties sooner because they only need a few seeds, but a commercial farmer probably won't grow them until the seed is easier to get in large quantities.
