That’s a mere ministerial process. The dude was out of the marital bed and on his own. There’s no way he could go to court and force the woman to take him back. Rights of residency are much more complex than just having your name on a lease.
So is there a 5 month process someone has to go through before owning their own place?
Last I remember, it’s a 5 minute credit check and a check that won’t bounce, then a few signatures and someone becomes a resident. Sometimes landlords want verification of a certain level of income. That’s a 5 minute call to a boss.
I have no idea why you’re acting this way on this thread. If somebody does nothing wrong, and knows they do nothing wrong, why should they still be subject to Nazi-style police tactics with little recourse for a redress of grievances?
Going on with the resident thing... if I have a band, and we go on tour for a little less than a full month, does that make me not the resident anymore, even if I paid my landlord another month’s worth of rent to cover myself due to longer than expected travel time?
