My initial deposit, held for 18 years, should be refunded. An apparent paralegal says there should be no deductions due to continuous tenancy, and that interest is due me on the deposit, due to a recent California statute/law. Is that true? If so, 1..Can you provide the wording and specific reference in the law which provides this, and 2..Will you provide the specific statute numbers, and where I might find the terminology to provide the landlord? am vacating an apartment after 18 continuous years of tenancy, during which time NO SERVICES were provided by landlord (paint,carper,etc.).

Discharging student loans in bankruptcy by Cara http://equaljusticeworks.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/an-undue-hardship-discharging-student-loans-in-bankruptcy/#comment-818 Cara Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:20:05 +0000 http://equaljusticeworks.wordpress.com/?p=918#comment-818 Hi All, I have the same struggle with excessive student loan debt and am completely disappointed by how few options there are for relief from student debt. I think many of the mind sets and policies towards student debt are completely out dated and are not addressing especially the private student loan companies, which, are much more like credit card companies where the borrower has so few rights. This article makes me hopeful. Something has to be done! Hi All,
