you might want to just call any CPA's office or H&R Block office to ask that question and I don't think it varies state by state because it's the federales!  *grin*

As long as it is ALL paid in by 4/15 - I think you're 100% fine.  Why should they keep my $$ and use it all year? I can use it until then...*giggles*

But I watch gardening shows all the time. There is a special metal barrier you can get that as I recall comes in different sizes, as much as 3' deep, so once you eradicate the vines on your side of the fence you can put the barrier down right along the fence line to keep the vines from growing in your yard again.

You will probably just have to cut the vines that come over on your side of the fence yourself. Obviously the neighbors aren't going to do anything about it.

If it were me, I would get several estimates from local landscaping firms and take these people to small claims court for the amount it would take to fix the problem. Even if you win, I don't know if you will actually get any money from them. It depends on the laws in your state and how responsive the courts are about enforcing their rulings. I really don't know enough to say anything about that.

Again, if it were me, when I was getting the landscaping done, I would tell the landscaper to spray Roundup or whatever kind of herbicide will kill trumpet vines right along the fence and through the slats as much as possible. If it kills the neighbor's trumpet vine, too bad. My heart bleeds.

Am I a mean person? No. But I think people should take responsibility for the messes they make and take care of recitfying them.

JMHO

I didn't know this was going on.....

The article is long so I didn't copy all of it. See the link below:

College presidents from about 100 of the nation's best-known universities, including Duke, Dartmouth and Ohio State, are calling on lawmakers to consider lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18, saying current laws actually encourage dangerous binge drinking on campus.

The movement called the Amethyst Initiative began quietly recruiting presidents more than a year ago to provoke national debate about the drinking age.

"This is a law that is routinely evaded," said John McCardell, former president of Middlebury College in Vermont who started the organization.

"It is a law that the people at whom it is directed believe is unjust and unfair and discriminatory."

I was wondering if anybody has had this happen to them or someone they know.  I have a problem with neighbors to one side of me who have trumpet vines. These are very invasive and they grow very fast.  When I first moved into my house 10 years ago, they were confined to a very small area along our shared fence.  Now, 10 years later, they are all along the length of the fence, are not being kept trimmed or confined, are reaching the roof of my house, growing inside my garage, behind the washer/dryer, etc.  When I pull them off the side of my house (the side out front where I never go except to wash the windows in the garage once a year) the paint comes off with the leaves, leaving bare spots on the wood.  This is a spot the neighbors can clearly see when they are doing their lawn work.  They sit there and watch the vines grow up the side of my house without even pulling them out, knowing what it does to my paint. 

The roots from the vines are now invading most of my back yard, and they grow about a foot (no joke) a week, so by the time I mow the lawn again, they are way above the height of the grass, sticking out all over.  Now my lawn is ruined, and every year it is just getting worse.  In order to get rid of the vines completely from my yard and property, it will have to be dug up and replaced, and even then it won't do any good because the neighbors have them all over their property and don't care if they have them growing on their roof. 

I have contacted the city, and there is no law on this sort of thing, they told me it would be a civil matter, i.e., small claims court.  I have asked the neighbors countless numbers of times to at least make an effort to keep them contained, and they may cut a little here and there, but a week later, there they are again.  I'm done asking. 

My question is this, has anybody actually gone through with a small claims suit against somebody for this or similar reasons, and what was the outcome?  I have been checking around and it falls under destruction of property and lowering the value of my home.  Thanks for all comments.

 who has always paid the rent on time, simply because they want to 'remodel'?  I've lived here for close to 20 years, and just today out of the blue, the manager walks up and hands me an eviction notice!  I was like, "Huh????" and he said they wanted to "renovate".   But my unit, only.   I guess others have gotten new rugs, appliances, etc. as tenants have come and go, but I've been here forever (and pay rent that is considerbly below market).   I've lived here forever, don't drink, never had a party, keep it pretty clean, etc.   The heater, oven, fridge, bathroom fixtures, etc., are old, but still in perfectly good working condition.  So, I asked if I'd be able to come back afterward, and the manager said they were going to raise the rent (to far more than I can afford) once the renovation is complete. 

So my question is --  Do you think it's legal to evict a tenant just because you want to put in a new rug, new paint, etc., and charge more to the next tenant?  I'm thinking about calling a lawyer, but don't know if I have a case or not.  If I move, I'm going to have to go at least 60-70 miles away, in order to find affordable rent. 

private and you cant view it without being approved by them?

but if your son is college age...well, he is pretty much on his own isnt he? or he should be.  why stir up crap for yourself?  what if you find something you dont approve of...what are you going to do...tell him you were snooping and what the heck is he doing???

The problem is that no matter how responsible a dog owner you are, dogs can accidentally escape.   What would happen to an innocent person walking down the street if your dog happened to escape your yard or your house?  One story on this web site is about two little boys who were walking down the road when a pit bull came bounding out of the woods and knocked one of the boys to the ground and latched onto his face.  

No one can ever convince me that this breed has any unique combination of personality traits that make it worth risking innocent human lives to own one.  I think the entire breed should be destroyed.  The evidence of their inherent danger is overwhelming.
