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?
Sometimes giving up legal residence in a place is easier than renting it or buying it and living there. Sometimes it's the other way around. However, mere ownership in Illinois is not sufficient to prove continuity of residency (ask the mayor of Chicago ~ he had to go to court on the matter and won with a technicality). Then, over in Indiana they have a pioneer tradition that allows for three clay floor beerjoints in Bloomington and yet does not require anyone to construct a shelter of any kind on a piece of land they might own ~ in order to qualify as a resident of a specific jurisdiction (see Senator Lugar on that one).
What we had here was a break up of a marriage and conflict. The cops knew what was going on ~
His hollering and screaming out in the parking lot was enough to pick him up. Then, after he tells them he's moved out showing up at the door to the apartment physically blocking the cops from checking on his wife's welfare ~ at her request ~ well, that was a set up wasn't it.
No, Barnes didn't get to shoot the cops. His wife even told him she didn't want him making all that fuss either. Her intention was equally clear ~ she wanted him out of there and he was gone ~ but he came back.
No, after all that your mere presence on a lease doesn't make you a lawful resident of that place ~ as your word is your bond he was OUT OF THERE.
I don't recall reading anything filed by his lawyer claiming lawful residence in the apartment. His issue was downstream with the court of appeals and what they'd decided which was, as I believe, that he was going to stay in jail. The state supreme court gave him a new trial ~ and then that stupid judge and his buddies stepped way out of line and discussed matters way beyond the facts of the case.
The judges should have been removed as the first order of business.
