landlord's hypothec

Read a random definition: partial assignment

A quick definition of landlord's hypothec:

Landlord's hypothec is a legal term that refers to a landlord's right to keep some of the tenant's belongings as security for unpaid rent. This only applies to items that the tenant brought onto the leased property, such as furniture and equipment. Unlike the English remedy of distress, the right of security is only enforced by the landlord's application to the court for a decree of sequestration. This means that the landlord cannot simply take the tenant's belongings without legal approval. The landlord's hypothec is a way for landlords to ensure that they receive the rent they are owed, and it is a common practice in Scots law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A type of mortgage given to a creditor on property to secure a debt. In Scots law, it refers to the lessor's right of security for rent in articles, furniture, and equipment that the tenant brought onto the leased premises.

Example: If a tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord can apply to the court for a decree of sequestration, which allows them to seize the tenant's personal property, such as furniture and equipment, to cover the unpaid rent. This is known as the landlord's hypothec.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the landlord's hypothec works in practice. It shows that the landlord has a legal right to seize the tenant's personal property to cover unpaid rent, but only after obtaining a court order. This ensures that the tenant's rights are protected and that the landlord cannot simply take the property without due process.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?

Or another essay?
