Totally agree. I've sent several emails and left a voicemail explaining where I'm coming from, all in a calm manner. I understand where he is coming from as well and am hopeful to help how I can. I've tried to explain how important it is to me and my hope that meeting in the middle would be possible. He gave a very minor concession (no Sunday morning showings), but it's really not enough. I would probably go for Saturday only showings, but the last couple emails from him had a tone that discussion was over and I suspect he's looking at his legal options. Hence why I thought it might be prudent to talk to a lawyer.

I suspect you're right as well. After seeing Matthew Desmond speak last week about how people of low-income are completely abused and taken advantage of by the eviction process, it's definitely I group I'd like to support. Maybe I can pay them for their services.

Thanks guys. And yes, GCrites80s is correct - I didn't realize anyone here actually was a lawyer. I apologize if it sounded like I was saying you guys weren't good, I just didn't realize you were actually lawyers and not just people on the internet giving layman's advice. Afterall, nobody knows your a dog on the internet. I'm not really looking for a legal solution. My hope was that we could come to an agreement as adults. I felt offering showings anytime during the week and preserving the weekends for myself was a reasonable offer. I'm in a particularly stressful part of my life right now, and I really need the peace and quiet of my weekend to recover and maintain my health. I'm certainly not going to sue him for anything, and I'm not going to *physically* bar anyone from the property. I may inform people that show up that my preference would be for them to come during the week and that I had informed the landlord of this and wish he hadn't scheduled them for the weekend, but that they may still enter if they wish. I just didn't know if there were potentially any other avenues of discussion/negotiation and thought a lawyer might help facilitate that (since I'm getting the sense he's going to go the legal route here, unfortunately.)

Thanks guys. I'm just hoping to talk to a lawyer about it just to make sure I'm covering all my bases. The problem is I just don't know how to find a good lawyer. Googling just brings up random names, I have no idea how to evaluate how good or bad they are. I left a message with the Legal Aid Society hoping they can give me a reference, but I have a feeling they deal more with evictions, slumlords, etc for low income people and might not be exactly who I'm looking for. (As an aside, it's sad the Cleveland Tenants Organization doesn't exist anymore.)

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a situation and could use some help. I've been renting a home (in University Heights area) for about 4 years now and am planning on moving at the end of May. My landlord had decided to put the house up for sale last week (nearly four months before the end of the lease) and is giving me minimal input into the times of showings. I've told him I'd prefer if he didn't show the home at all until we move out in a couple months (as has been done in previous rentals I've lived in that were sold) but as a compromise I would be willing to allow people into the home during the week, but not weekends. He's refusing and I suspect he'll pursue some sort of legal action (his wife is a lawyer) given the "entrance with 24 hour notice" clause in the lease. So, anyway. Does anyone know of a particularly good lawyer I could talk to about this?

Thanks guys!

Sorry to bump an old thread. I'll be moving to Sacramento soon for work and don't know much about it. You guys wouldn't happen to have any recommendations for resources to learn more about its neighborhoods and whatnot? It's probably too much to ask for a forum that's of similar quality to UrbanOhio... Sorry if I'm highjacking the thread, I'll be happy to delete and start a new one if that's preferred.

well that's exciting. love greenhouse but I've been pretty disappointed with his other branchings. hoping this will change that. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

was disappointed to learn the chef of crop kitchen in uptown left. we had really gotten into that place and it's definitely not the same. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I was going to make a snarky comment about the racially motivated attack Marky Mark participated in as a teenager that left a man blind in one eye, but apparently the dude forgives him and was already blind.

a student was also mugged around noon this past Monday at the corner of Overlook and N. Park by four guys who got out of an SVU. Before that (last week sometime?) a similar thing happened to another student around E123 & Euclid which is right by the UCPD.

tell your friend there isn't anything "masculine" or admirable about getting into a fight with someone who has a gun. he's incredibly lucky he's still alive, this is exactly how people get shot. just give them your stuff. it's just stuff.

I really hope they make an honest effort to encourage and include kids from the immediate surrounding areas (i.e., not just John Hay students) to participate in this.

it'll be interesting to see if the "joint" administration survives.

Interesting. It's a shame that we don't have much of a true journalism presence to investigate such connections anymore. From what I can tell NEOMG appears to simply regurgitate slightly reworded press releases for the most part.

That's funny, I've been to GHT maybe a couple dozen times and can't recall ever having a serious service issue (and I'm very sensitive to service issues when dining out). Funny how that goes. had brunch at Urban Farmer over the weekend, it was tastier than I expected it to be. It sure is dark in the back though and they cram the 2 tops together which I hate. I'll be sitting at the bar next time.

we went yesterday too. enjoyed it so much we're back here again today.

Not as of a month or two when I last checked and the location still not listed on their website

Does anyone know when the Inchin Bamboo Garden restaurant is going to open?

I wonder if opening the med/dental/nursing school will have any effect. last I heard there will be bus service from cwru for faculty, but students like to remain close to school. quite a few people in my class didn't have cars.

unfortunately it'll only be open sporadically for pop-up events that you need to pre-purchase tickets for. not really something that excites me. hoping he'll eventually transition it back to a full-time diner at some point.

I love how low-skill employers keep trying to put their jobs in sprawling, unwalkable, transit-inaccessible areas and then complain about not being able to get people to apply for jobs. Sure, the job pays enough to afford a car -- if you already have a car before applying. EDIT: Or then they ask the underfunded transit agency to spread themselves out even thinner by cosmetically extending a few trips of a bus route to their job site. well said. lots of folks don't understand what a real issue this is for so many people.

I think the clustering aspect he mentions has merit. It'll be easy to hit them both in a single trip if one doesn't have everything you're looking for.

Regal Severance Cinema will be closing soon, according to the internet rumor mill
