Great info! Wasn't online for 2 days, but watched an expose' that dealt with homeowners and renters being evicted from homes! (News 12 NJ). Very sad, in the case of renters who are paid up only to be given eviction notices because the owner defaulted. It's against the law to evict a renter, simply because the owner defaulted. Didn't know that and renters should attend whatever workshops available. When school closed for the holidays, a disabled woman, renting told me a story about her landlord not providing heat. This was when the temp was down to 14-19 degrees. I advised her to call Fair Housing in Freehold and to file a complaint with the Asbury Park Police, for the record. Also Code enforcement in City Hall should have been notified. It's criminal to deprive someone of heat and/or hot water! The lady didn't seem to know what her options were. She is on Section 8 and I informed her that Uncle Sam had already paid her rent, so under the law, she should complain to them, also. Code Enforcement will send a representative over to the address and survey any violations, contact the landlord and give them X days, hours or whatever to "fix" these problems. --- In asburyp...@yahoogro ups.com, "oakdorf" <oakd...@... > wrote: > > In looking some stats to see what was popular on one of my sites > Christmas Day (whose searching for what...) > > Two most popular searches: > > 1.
