Landlord entitlements when tenants default


Written on January 24, 2010 – 9:39 am | by admin

The recession may or may not be over – depending on what you read and whose figures you trust – but for many tenants, especially those who have lost their jobs as a result of the economic downturn, meeting their rent obligations could be a step too far.

Originally owning 60 seats in the Senate, now Democrats have 59 seats, which is one short of the number needed to overcome a Republican filibuster, which Republicans promised will occur.

Why Republicans Hate the Health Care Overhaul

There are a number of reasons that the Republicans are not pleased with the current state of the health care overhaul, but the main reason is the public option.

Travel Beats Your Stress; Insurance Absorbs Your Stress


Written on January 21, 2010 – 7:42 pm | by admin

Research has shown that merely researching travel destinations (and the research did not include travel insurance, obviously) can be a great stress buster. In a recent study, participants were shown to feel much calmer after researching and seeing pictures of their favorite holiday destination.

For many people, part of the fun is in looking at different sights, and researching the best shopping and dining available before actually setting foot in the country. It is not uncharitable to assume that the same level of enthusiasm is not accorded to international travel insurance.

However, to ensure that the stress-free situation does not end with the computer at home, it is necessary that appropriate travel insurance is purchased. Read full article…
