This decision strengthened the Fair Housing Act's ability to combat discriminatory practices and increased the burden on Real Property Managers to ensure their policies do not have an adverse impact on protected groups. Additionally, HUD released a new rule [... and more]

A #SmallThanks from Zamzow Fabian PLLC Law Offices to you - November 2018
- Q. Can my employer require me to use my PTO if I want to get paid when they decide to close shop?
- A: Maybe. But, it depends largely on whether or not you have a written contract with fixed employment terms within it.
It can be a little complicated (for the employer) when it comes to eligibility for health insurance, UIA, or other things, but generally, at will employees serve at the will of the employer. That might mean, even if it wasn't disclosed to you, your employer can choose when you work.
You might consider talking with an employment attorney to get a consultation or legal advice, which this -- is not -- legal advice.
- Q. My lease ends in May my landlord said I can’t fix damages before that and he is keeping my SD. Can he do this?
- A: You've raised quite a lot of potential issues. First, I think you're probably on the right track, listen to your gut and do some research if you're unable to hire an attorney.
Now, the following --generalizations-- might help narrow down your search (but don't limit yourself to this list). Do not construe this as legal advice specific to your situation, this is merely a place you might consider starting your research from.
- At the start of the lease, the landlord shall provide to the tenant two copies of the inventory check list. (MCL 554.608)
- Think of the security deposit as the property of the tenant, held by the landlord until they can 'trigger' their ... Read More
- Q. Can an employer refuse to pay for my medical bills if I have a seizure at work and they call an ambulance?
- A: Had the employer not called an ambulance it might be a wildly different situation and then you might have a cause of action against them. If it helps, imagine if you called an ambulance on behalf of someone, and they asked you to pay for it for simply making a phone call. That could serve as a deterrent, and generally we want people to help others.
It may help to also be aware, under Michigan law, workers' compensation benefits are generally the sole and exclusive remedy for work-related injuries or illnesses. This means that workers cannot file a lawsuit against their employer or co-workers for damages related to a work-related injury or illness, except in limited circumstances where ... Read More
