A quick definition of vasto:

Term: VASTO

Definition: Vasto is a legal term that refers to a writ used to hold a tenant responsible for any damage caused to the property they are renting. This writ allows the owner of the property to take legal action against the tenant for any waste or damage caused to the property during their tenancy.

A more thorough explanation:

VASTO

Vasto is a legal term that means "of waste." It refers to a writ that allows a reversioner or remainderman to force a tenant for life or for years to appear in court and answer for any damage caused to the plaintiff's inheritance due to waste.

For example, if a tenant for life cuts down all the trees on a property, the reversioner or remainderman can use the writ of vasto to sue the tenant for the damage caused to the inheritance.

Another example would be if a tenant for years damages a property by neglecting to maintain it, the reversioner or remainderman can use the writ of vasto to hold the tenant accountable for the resulting damage.

These examples illustrate how the writ of vasto is used to protect the interests of the reversioner or remainderman by holding tenants accountable for any damage caused to the inheritance.

All I know is tons of schools had "waves" first week of december last year, like dec 8ish lol I had hoped the human side with thanksgiving's date this year would make them do a wave this week before, like imagine the emotional tie for someone that could get hys getting their duke A this week and celebrating with family, maybe they come to duke now when before it was a no. But the good money bet is that dec 8-17 is when the waves come

I'd only check a status checker to make sure my application is complete. Anything else is just asking for an anxiety attack. Schools will contact us when they have a decision ready.
