We moved out 4 months ago and we’ve been wondering why he didn’t send us our deposit. We were getting ready to file charges and today we get a $4000 bill most of which was renovations to help his house sell. Does anyone have any suggestions? My 1st question is: is 4 months too long to wait and my 2nd question is: how do we fight stuff like renovations that we don’t agree with? Thanks.
State of Oklahoma

Landlords only get 14-45 days depending on state to refund a deposit or send a final accounting. 4 months is completely uncalled for in any state!

They have lost any right to collect that money even if you did legitimately cause any damages. They have waited far too long to collect. Landlords lose all rights to the deposit when they do not follow this law. You need to sue them for full refund of your deposit.

EDIT: For some people’s education: Even with no lease on a verbal month to month agreement the landlord is bound by general law. Every state has a law on how long a landlord has to refund the deposit after the tenants vacate. A lease is NOT needed in order to dispute a landlord not returning the deposit.

If you’re not required to leave for any of these, what’s the difference?
Doesn’t mandatory mean you don’t have a choice? I heard you can’t be forced to leave? Anyways, how would they be able to track down everyone who stayed to film the storm?

the definitions of the words speak for themselves but voluntary
means you don’t have to leave it is a choice.
Mandatory means that you must leave as you are told to do so by someone in charge.There is not a choice

Where can I find an evacuation pamphlet or handout for children in elementary school? Is there a website I can go to in order to find one? I need it to be for children, not their parents.

Some information is below./

It is a matter of opinion whether it suffered - in many cities children would have received little or no education, especially if they were working in factories or other businesses, their propsects may well have improved, as did their health, when sent to a rural community with good schools.

I have to answer a question for my History coursework comparing two different sources on how useful they are about the start of the evacuation, but I have absolutely no information about it. Help would be much appreciated please!
Sorry, I paid hardly any information to details - I meant evacuation of children in London

You are NOT giving us enough information for an accurate answer. The Germans evacuated their children also…see?
The Jews shipped their kids to Britian when they could. (Anne and Margo Frank could have been evaculated to Britain because they had relatives there-but their parents could not get them out by the time they needed to go into hiding)

Am assuming you mean evaculations in response to the London bombings. It was voluntary. Chaotic,

In highschool it was a evacuation code blue or red forgot..and the teachers were aware and yelled at us to run out…RUN out not WALK out so thats weird….could it be that one of us decided to wear a mask and blend in with all the other costumes and go crazy?we werent told yet..i did see cops come in with guns in their palms..this is esactly what i think it is right?

Well cops have never come in to my school with guns in their palms- it’s not necessary for training.
Police are always busy anyways.

There could have been some sort of threat, but not a massacre because you would have heard something from you friends.

Check around and check the news.

I live in an area that is extremely unlikely to be hit by floods, hurricanes or wildfires. What are some other reasons that would require emergency preparedness or evacuation. Asking because it may influence how I prepare for the "just in case". Looking for the obvious I may have missed as well as more far-fetched-never-thought-of-that before type stuff. Possible events and stuff to stash away is helpful. Also what are some good survivalist/preparedness websites?

OK, possibly chemical spills from a train, tractor trailer, or manufacturing plant? Bad snow storm, tornado or other weather phenomena? Any nuclear plants near you? (Think Chernobyl.) Terrorist attack? Medical epidemic like influenza? Drinking water contamination?

The Red Cross’ website is a good place to start for info. on preparedness.

I was just wondering. I live near Orlando. (That’s why I said hurricane evacuation) Thanks!

In college i had to make an emergency evacuation plan for class. this included what to do in case of a storm. The first would be to go further inland or head north, but it is very important to make a safety plan before such an event takes place. One of the most important things you can do is find a second shelter place in case yours does not withstand the storm. If you have family or friends, make sure they and you understand they should provide shelter for you and your family. Also, if you and your family do seek shelter in a "more secure building" such as a school, make sure to have a mustering point (a place to meet) if you get seperated.Having a plan on where to go before the storm is one of the most important things you can do.

So I live in South FL and have 2 tanks (a 10gallon and a 65gallon) very happy and well set up. But I had never thought about how to protect them in case of a hurricane. When a hurricane threatens, I usually go up north with my cat and my bird, but what do I do with the fishies? Also, the power goes out in my area, every time a hurricane comes, so the filter wouldn’t be working for at least two days until I can come back and connect it to a generator. Any ideas, I’m kinda clueless here. Thanks

I live in Miami myself, and I have never evacuated my fish.

Go to Pet Smart (Aventura) and pick up a battery powered air pump ( they run on house curent, and when the power is cut they switch to battery), and a battery operated feeder (holds enough food for two weeks).

As long as your tank’s are in good condition before you leave, and you are sure that the house isn’t going to come down there is really no need to disturb your fish.

I just unplug the lighting and cover the tank (55 gallon) with a sheet of heavy plastic held down with bricks (In case a window breaks) and leave it alone.

If you must take your fish. A Styrofoam cooler lined with a heavy black garbage bag works well to hold your fish for transport.

If you evacuate to the same place every time and it is possible you might want to keep a basic aquarium setup there that can be used while your in residence.

Good Luck

p.s. DO NOT try the peroxide thing suggested above. You would just come home to a bunch of dead fish. LOL;)))

The question is about Fire and Emergency.

in other words,

Who do we tell that a place has been completely evacuated?

I have no idea what you’re asking. Please add some more details so people can make sense of this.
What information? What evacuation? Why is evacuation capitalized, is it a place?
