  • Can a tenant use their security deposit to pay last month's rent in New York State?

    The lease does not explicitly state that the security deposit may not be used for last month's rent. Additionally, the lease states that the security deposit will be used to cover unpaid rent, among other things.

    I understand what the point of a security deposit is. I just want a legal expert to tell me whether i can legally apply my money from my security deposit and use that as a rent payment. Thanks.

  • Who owns the right to a person's name and image?

    Suppose you are the owner of a company and would like to manufacture products like t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc based on the image of somebody famous who died recently... who would you have to get in contact with to get permission to use their image for a product?

    What about not-so-famous people who have died? Do you have to get in touch with their families or something? If anyone could let me know that would be absolutely great! Thanks

How much more likely are you willing to have sex with him if you're on vacation as opposed to having met him back home?

  • Buddhist Monk with an Ipod?

    I was walking down the street yesterday and saw a buddhist monk, fully dressed in his robe, listening to an ipod. I was just wondering if what he was doing was allowed, or if it was against the rules.

  • Question about doctor-patient confidentiality?

    My friend got caught up in a really sticky situation and i was wondering if he could get himself out of it. The story is pretty interesting actually. He snuck onto the roof of his college dorm to smoke some marijuana, but a security guard in the building noticed someone was up on the roof and went up to confront them, because nobody is allowed up on the roof of the building. My friend threw all his weed off the roof, and when the security guard confronted him, my friend pretended that he was thinking about jumping off and committing suicide to get out of trouble. Of course now my friend has to go in to see a therapist twice a week to assess his mental stability, but he's not suicidal, just a dumb kid who didnt want to get caught smoking pot. I told him that he could tell his therapist the truth because he would be protected by doctor-patient confidentiality, but he doesn't want to take a chance. Would the therapist be required to report him?

  • What's a good organization through which to sponsor a child?

    Im interesting in sponsoring a child in a third world country and i'm looking for the perfect organization to do it through.

    First of all, i want to sponsor a single child and have some sort of direct relationship with them, rather than just donate to a generic program.

    Second, i want 100% or almost 100% of my money to go straight to the program rather than just the minimum 80%.

    Third of all, i want this organization to be secular; because all my dollars should go food, water, and shelter, and not to teaching children about religion.

    Also, nothing too expensive, i'm 18 and not rich... yet.

    That's it. Please recommend a good organization. And please no comments about children in the U.S who are also suffering (a dollar goes a lot further in Africa than it does in Detroit). Thanks

  • Does snorting ritalin cause permanent damage to your brain?

    Ritalin (methylphenidate) is a drug prescribed for kids with adhd, although college students snort it all the time, especially now during finals week. So does snorting ritalin occasionally result in any permanent damage to your brain? Everyone says it's bad to do it, but nobody has any actual proof. Support your answers with sources please

  • Can you recommend a good digital camera with these specifications?

    The camera must be at least 10 megapixels (although i would prefer 12), it must shoot HD video, and it has to come with a rechargeable battery.

    Oh, it must also cost under $200.

    I did a lot of research and i know there are many out there, but according to reviews they aren't very good. Can you make a recommendation? Thanks

  • Question for classical guitarists only:?

    Just moved into a college dorm and girls are always coming over to hear me play my music. Its making me look mighty good but i'm running out of songs fast.

    I'm looking for a piece that is reasonably long, easy to listen to, and easy to memorize. It doesnt really matter how hard it is, as long as it's not too hard, because i'm not THAT good. So if you have any suggestions for a simple piece that matches those qualities well enough... well then thanks

    If you have any

  • Is exhaling smoke into a balloon going to cover the smell?

    Has anyone ever tried exhaling their pot smoke into a balloon before? "my friend" really needs to know if exhaling into a balloon will seal all the smelly smoke safely in the balloon so that he can toke up in the house.

    "he" plans to achieve this by hitting his bowl, putting it out, then exhaling into a balloon, leaving the smoke virtually nowhere to go. What do y'all think of this?
