    Hi Ellen. My fingers ran over here after watching you in the Galt Advocacy Facebook post live video. I'm in Alameda County and this involves IHSS a 90 something year old IHSS consumer with property 🏡 no children and no family in the U.S. and IHSS care providers 2 providers are best friends in cahoots and have known the IHSS consumer the longest therefore one provider has authorization to sign work timesheets, hire and fire providers I don't know if this provider has sole decision making or if it's shared decision with the consumer and they both decide. By the way the consumer is capable of making her own decisions but this "authority" providers are denying her hearing her hearing aid, eye glasses, mismanaging consumer finances. Would I observe is altru abuse specifically negligence and exploitation I have been fired a week ago and not by the consumer as usually that's the case but I have my suspicions why I haven't received my belongings that I had and my consumers home and my timesheet for the end of September hasn't been signed.

    Which ones come with all appliances? Refrigerator, gas or electric full size stove/oven with an above microwave range, a deep “farm like” kitchen sink with faucet hardware, perhaps a regular size dishwasher if unit’s kitchen square footage can fit one? And always a plus a stackable or combo washer and dryer??? Other necessities like Hot water tank, insulation in roof, walls and floor, a complete electrical, complete plumbing package, already to be hook up?, Does it come with bathroom sinks, shower, and kitchens hardware??for heat and air conditioning… does a ADU come with a mini split?

    In Ohio, a new buyer has to honor lease terms already in place, although new buyer could negotiate with a tenant to get them to vacate. Short of that negotiation, a LL would have to wait and then choose not to renew, but couldn't make tenant leave early, assuming tenant was meeting obligations. In a m2m, the LL has to give a written 30 day notice in advance of the next rental period. For example, if LL gives 30 day notice on June 10, tenant would have until end of July. Unless of course, contract in place specifies a different notification period.

    its tactic by insurance companies to force CA to abandon prop 103 regulation....There not losing $$$, its just there not making enough profit.....so jump in when times are good and jump out when times are bad... without any penalties.... There should be law that if companies do that then they will be barred from selling any insurance in CA. in future......so next time they won't be so fast to leave loyal customers out in the cold.
