Are they refusing to move out NOW? If their lease isn’t up, they have every right to remain there. Have they indicated that they do not plan on moving out on or before the 1st? That’s when you have a problem. If that’s the case your best course of action is finding a backup plan. A tenant who hasn’t moved in has no legal recourse. Don’t pay the landlord first month rent if you haven’t yet.

> Any App That Could Just Be A Website Only Exists To Track You

This is why I don't have a cell phone anymore. My SO uses a flip phone that cant run apps and doesn't even have gps. Monetizing my data points and trashing my privacy is a real fucked up thing to do to me as a customer and I do everything I can to make it a pain in the ass to do to me while also giving them the smallest number of data points possible. But on a supposedly secure banking app?! What the actual fuck?!!!

Get hired by a realtor first and they will pay for your course. You need to work for a broker anyways for years before you can get a brokers license and sell on your own.

Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the content of either. It's purely a deal to create a more complete user profile to sell to data brokers for advertising data. Businesses view it as an "additional revenue stream" when they build an app. If you google "how to monetize app engagement," you'll find a million articles like this one https://www.forbes.com/sites/peggyannesalz/2019/01/14/3-ways-to-make-money-from-app-engagement/?sh=d50442dadc7b

>App companies that have the inside track on data around user activity in and with their apps are sitting on a goldmine. This is because they are the sole owners of valuable first-party data, data that is owned, unique, accurate and—above all—current. Easy to understand why first-party data that is becoming what Maribel Adams, Head of Digital at MediaMax, over in her blog at Street Fight calls “the core ingredient to driving customer acquisition and retention.”

This is a completely normal practice. I don't even mean to call out Ally Bank in particular. This is just how the web works. I recently wrote a whole blog post titled Any App That Could Just Be A Website Only Exists To Track You on just this phenomenon, and it's part of a series I'm writing on the "attention economy." The first part talks about TikTok, too.

If the person doesn't leave, the unfortunate reality is that you have no legal claim to the rental as you never officially took possession. It would be on the landlord to get them out.

You might have a claim against the landlord for failing to provide the product (apartment) in the contract (lease), but that would probably also have to go to court. You would most likely lose if you accept the deposit back.

Work on a backup plan as both could take months to resolve.

What's that? Not wear a comfortable piece of footwear that has multiple uses and you can easily slide in and off?

It's fine if not confident enough to wear clothes without the fear of judgement from others.

Worrying about what other people think of your shoes and clothes generally goes away when grow up.

That's the main reason they exist. The wearers don't give a fuck about what they look like.

Can you legally do that? I have always wondered if you can move in with squatters on a place you own and just throw their shit out like I don't NEED this in MY place anymore. If they tried to assault you, could you call the police like its a domestic assault? Its such a head trip to me that people can literally take over your home you own.

If someone at one time was invited to stay, which they were, they have their stuff there even, they now have the rights of renters in VT.

Make your place an AirBnB and then when they don't pay their nightly hotel fee, you can have the cops make em leave. Odd how renting vs hotel situations compare.
