Anyone know of a car rental company who rents to people under 21?

July 31st, 2010

Does anybody know of a car rental company who rents to 19 year olds?
Thanks!

Most "rent a wreck" type of places will rent to anyone. Just check the yellow pages of the city you’re trying to rent in and start making a few calls.

How do i sway my rents to let me have a snake?

July 28th, 2010

ok wanted a snake for a while, my dads quite ok with it but my mum doesnt even let me finish a sentence in with the word snake in it. im 16 and completly responsable, the only thing stopping me is my mums dislike of the cute things! any suggestions?

take her to a pet store, how you get her there is up to you, show her some baby snakes, they are way less scary when they’re small, if she sees they are not so bad, go find some1 that works in the store and ask if you can handle one of the babies, show her you know what you’re doing and maybe she’ll even agree to handling it. also it helps to do alot of research on the specific snake you want, try to get something small and good for first timers, try a rosy boa, i’ve never owned one but i’ve heard they stay smallish, also go to a store and pick out a good terrarium that fills the requirments of the type of snake you choose, a good terrarium would have a screen top and a latch so the enclosure can be secured correctly so the snake won’t be able to escape. show you’re mother that you really want this and you’re willing to do all the work. If you have a job it really really helps if you pay for everything! ok ummmmm thats all i can think of, lol my parents both like snakes so I never had to go through begging so I can’t garentee that these methods will work but they sound pretty logical to me =) Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope it all works out to your benefit!!

How could a local council use its powers to lower rents for independent businesses?

July 23rd, 2010

Independent businesses operate at a disadvantage to chains, as their overheads are larger and they tend to have smaller turnover. How can a local council use existing legislation to protect them – rent ceilings? Zones where only independents can operate? Ideas welcome.

They can’t … although many attempts have been made to miss-apply existing legislation to conduct some sort of ’social engineering’ (i.e. FORCE people to act in a way that ‘"We Know Is Good For You")

However, whilst the ‘local villagers’ complain bitterly about eg. closure of local branches (Bank, Post Office), Pubs and ‘corner shops’, the unfortunate fact is, the majority DID NOT actually make use of those facilities – instead they drove to the nearby town Supermarkets and Shopping Centers instead ..

Indeed, many village dwellers have done their very best to to ‘kill off’ their own local businesses by opposing expansions, refurbishments and opening hour extensions and implementing local parking & speed restrictions + ‘bumps’ & camera’s that discouraged or (by supporting the building of a bypass) eliminated the ‘passing trade’ … and (of course) local councils have driven the final nails into the coffin of local business by extorting astronomical ‘Business Rates’

In any event, Government (and ESPECIALLY local government) should NOT interfere with business = decades of local & national spending mismanagement have proven time and again that Government has NO IDEA how to conduct any sort of commercial business operation ..

Leave well enough alone .. if there is ‘money to be made’ local shops will thrive .. if not, the properties will be converted to some other, higher demand, use ..

how to ask my rents if i can go to concert alone in another state?

July 20th, 2010

a total rave is going on in another state and i got invited to roadtrip there with some friends…how can i spin it so my rents say yes??
serious answers please!

I think there are few factors to consider..

How old you are?
How responsible have you shown yourself to be?
Have you been in trouble and if you have what kind of trouble?

I know as the parent of a daughter who’s soon to be 16, if she were to ask to to with a group of friends to an out of province (I live in Canada) concert it would also be dependent on who the group of friends were. How they were getting there? Where were they staying?

I guess just make sure that you have all your bases covered for whatever questions they ask and make sure you have GOOD answers. Real answers. Bring everyone over that’s going so you can all answer the questions together. If my daughter came in all prepared for the questions, I’d definitely have to at least consider saying yes. Even if it was only for a second. :)

Whatever you do, don’t lie about it. I think in the end, you lost A LOT more by doing that if they find out. Good luck!!

What is the weekly wage of a hairdresser who rents a chair in a salon?

July 17th, 2010

Decided to go back to college finish level 2, and i’m trying to get to know my future options. thanks for any answers.

When you rent a chair in a salon, you are going to get some supplies with it as well. Sometimes, you have to get all your supplies and products; all you will be paying for is the space in the building, and perhaps sharing cost of receptionist and other overhead.

You will be responsible for all your own supplies, and you can work your own hours, and you have to get your own clientele. After paying for everything, whatever is left, is all yours. If you work hard, have a lot of customers, keep your costs down, you can make quite a good living. If you want to sit around, not work hard, then don’t expect to make any money at all. What you get is directly proportional to how much you are prepared to put into it.

My friend rents a house and she is installing a pool with her landlords permission.?

July 14th, 2010

Who needs to get insurance coverage, the owner of the pool or the owner of the land, or both? Since the pool belongs to her, we are thinking she needs the insurance incase the pool breaks or whatever. What about liability coverage? Anyone know?
So the owner only needs to notify his insurance company there is a pool on his land? He needs no insurance for it? Also, in other words, my friend needs insurance for liability and also insurance to cover cost if it is damaged, etc?

So, you’re saying that your friend is spending thousands of dollars to improve her landlord’s property? That makes no sense. Nevertheless, they both need liability insurance. The landlord should have a policy that insures the house and other structures on the property, plus it will have liability insurance, too. The renter should have a renter’s policy which will have liability insurance to cover the renter. If someone gets injured in the pool, they could very well both be sued.

How can I find out if someone rents or owns the home they live in?

July 11th, 2010

The home is on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and I would like to look up on the internet but don’t know where to look.

Not familiar with the area, but, you could probably look at a title company’s website, or try googling just the address. See what pops up.

Where can I find a 2 bedroom condo in Montreal?

July 8th, 2010

My friend and I are looking for a 2 bedroom (4.5) apartment for next year.
We don’t want to live in an apartment building because we throw awesome parties.
We would prefer a two story place, but one story is fine as long as there is room for a lot of people.
We go to school at McGill, so we would like to be within 25 min walking distance.
We want to rent, not buy.
Our budget is 1600 a month.

Check out the area off of Rue St Alexandre near Rue St Edward

what are the right of a person rents an apartment in newjersey?

July 6th, 2010

i live in bergen county in nj and in the apartment im living now for 2 years and the management is refusing paint in the apartment and other wise i want to know my right regarding this rental.

This is a common situation and will probably work for you:

Just take pictures – and then paint the thing yourself. Don’t hire a painter. Paint it yourself.

Take the receipt for the supplies, deduct the amount from the rent, and send the receipt with your rent check.

No court in America will evict you for such outstanding, helpful behavior. Remember that it is your home – but his property. You must respect his interest in doing things economically, but he must respect your right to live comfortably without peeling paint.
