landlord and tenant

A quick definition of landlord and tenant:

Landlord and tenant is a special relationship between someone who owns a property (landlord) and someone who rents it (tenant). The landlord gives the tenant the right to use the property, but the landlord still owns it. The tenant has to pay rent to the landlord, and if they don't pay on time, they might have to leave. The landlord can't just come into the property whenever they want, they have to ask the tenant first. This relationship is important because it's not just a regular contract, it's also under property law.

A more thorough explanation:

Landlord and tenant is a special relationship between a property owner (landlord) and someone who rents the property (tenant). This relationship is more than just a contract, because it is also under property law. The landlord gives the tenant the right to use the property, but the landlord still owns it.

For example, if you rent an apartment, you have a landlord-tenant relationship with the owner of the building. The owner gives you the right to live in the apartment, but they still own the building.

In this relationship, the landlord has certain responsibilities. They must make sure the property is safe and in good condition. They must also give the tenant notice before entering the property. The tenant has responsibilities too. They must pay rent on time and take care of the property.

If the tenant doesn't pay rent or damages the property, the landlord can take legal action to evict them. This means the tenant has to leave the property and may have to pay money to the landlord.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
