Some leases are illegal to implement. Check your local "Landlord - Tenant Handbook" for legalities. That is what is called Illegal Search and Seizure under the constitution. Even if you sign some leases, they are unenforceable when they infringe on your rights. Like, in PA, no lease is valid for more than three years, no one can make you sign for more than three. If you do, it's unenforceable. Here, they are not allowed to charge LATE fees for rent, so how they get around that is make the rent due on this date, this much, and AFTER due date, THIS much... They are not allowed to collect 1st, current, AND last months rent, only a first month, and security deposit.
The legalities of leases goes on and on, and landlords KNOW they put things in leases are that unenforceable, but hope you sign it and abode by them anyway. When they get caught, they give you 30-days to get out, and so on, which is all legal THERE too. Nothing protects consumers, EVER, so, thats the way it is.
This is why people steal, download, and pirate games, movies and so on. They lose so much money here, so they got to make it up THERE. Well, I don't blame some people for it, because the laws do not protect US as much as they do THEM. The constitution means NOTHING, else there would not be Check Points of any kind, and when Police are basically allowed to do as they please, from the JUDGES mouth to my ears, TODAY in fact... There is so much more serious crime out there, they can't take the time to go after the felons, so they stomp all over the small things, like driving a motorcycle without a class M endorsement on your license, and so on.
I have been driving a motorcycle for about 20 years, I get caught ONCE, because of a DUI check point. Me, as a person, didn't even get the chance to quote the procedure of a DUI check point, as per the Tarbert/Blouse guidelines, which is PA Law. The judge would NOT listen to me, at all, when I had the law in my hand. So, I took a $30.00 reduction, and walked out pissed off, because they treat you like a baby. The Cop and Judge would NOT let me get a word in edge-wise. Oh, but when the thign was over, they were all buddy-buddy, ad we talked about stuff for over 10 minutes. It was like they were insulted, that I cared to research the laws, and made sure I could not get it in. If I did? They would have just made me appeal it to a higher court anyway, so you CANNOT WIN, ever... All levels of government needs an ENEMA, BADLY!!!
