Intent To Vacate Letter California: Fill & Download for Free

We met while we both were on a vacation. She travelled some 12 hours on a bus from her hometown to the nearest beach in Northern Mexico just to see the ocean for the first time. She only had a weekend and only came along so her friend would have company, after the original travelling mate had quit on her.Meanwhile, I was on my 6-week roadtrip through Northern Mexico, having arrived at the same tiny town entirely by accident. My original itinerary called for a ferry trip to La Paz, and then up the entire Baja peninsula. Instead, I was grudgingly heading up north on the mainland part of Mexico.I came to Bahia de Kino, because it was the only spot on the mainland with a similar vegetation pattern as Baja California. That we would run into each other was then not all that unusual, since the place had only one facility to spend the night. But still…..It was friendship on first sight! All just fell into place, very naturally, no fear, this time. I had some of the most personal conversation with a woman I ever had. I had told her about that other encounter of mine and she let me know about her boyfriend, who was now living up in Chicago.But that would not spoil the mood, just putting the quest for a night together at my room to a timely rest. We kept talking, had dinner together and then breakfast - and we had exchanged addresses. Over and over she would plead to me with her silky-soft, low- pitched voice: “Please send me a letter when you are back in Switzerland” I offered to drive her back home in my rental car, seeing her sadness. But she declined.Soon, we would be separated by 8 time zones and 6000 miles of distance. 14 hours on two flights. And no internet back in 1989! Somehow, our relation survived weeks of waiting, slow airmail letters and horrendously expensive landline long distance calls. We would meet again after almost 10 months - to never separate again. I had gone to her home town for an extended visit of 6 weeks, with the intention to set up my life over there alongside her.And that is what we would wind up doing. We married precipitously, to comply with the condition for allowing her to travel with me to Switzerland. It was to be a farewell trip for me, and a welcoming visit for her.

How much time do landlords legally have to give you to move out if you do not want to sign a new lease with a hefty rent increase?Rent increase or not is irrelevant. If you fail to sign a lease renewal for what ever reason, then you tenancy continues on a month to month basis. Laws differ from state to state and even from city to city in some places. But the general rule is that your landlord will need to give you a 30 day notice to vacate. In California if it was a residential lease for a year or more then the landlord must give you 60 days notice. He can serve the notice before the end of the lease or wait until it expires.Experienced landlords will typically send the renewal and expect it back before the 30 or 60 days. I manage over 4,000 apartments and we mail a notice of intent (not a legal requirement) typically 90 days before the end of their lease. This is a notice that lets people know what we expect upon lease renewal and as a reminder that if they want to move out they must give us notice. The new lease will be presented to them about 70 days before end of the lease along with a letter asking them to return a signed copy or come into the office and sign it. If not signed by the 60 days then we do give 60 days notice. If they sign a renewal at any time before the end of the 60 days then there is a new agreement and the 60 day notice is meaningless.If they don’t sign or move out then we start the eviction process.So a landlord must give you 30 or 60 days to move but the start date need not be the end of the lease.

I’ve been pondering this for some time now.I grew up homeschooled in New York State, surrounded by dozens and dozens of other homeschooling families, and it is my plan to Lord willing homeschool our sons. Regulations governing homeschooling are near and dear to my heart, as an issue that has a huge impact on current and potential homeschoolers! And, for most of my life I’ve heard them discussed from all aspects. So here goes!Letter of intent - mandatory.I think it is quite reasonable to require homeschoolers to inform the local district of their intent to homeschool.I would clearly state that this letter can be filed using the formatting/layout of a parent’s choice or a form the school provides.This would eliminate the power for individual districts to require families to only use the school’s forms.This letter of intent would need to be filed with the school at least 30 days before homeschooling actually began.Waivers for that 30-Day cushion should be made available for instances such as a medical issue or an incident report (example, a child traumatized by bullying).Four quarterly reports - mandatory.Again, clearly specified that this can be done on forms of the parents’ choosing, if so desired.It would need to be made crystal clear that the marking period dates can begin on any day of the year, and simply must be spread evenly over the course of the 180 days of instruction.This would enable parents to, say, structure a school year that runs four days a week from June - July.Yup, that’s legal in NY, and that’s what we did my entire life. It left tons of room for short vacation trips, days spent on field trips, breaks around the holidays, etc - and we never missed the summer vacation! (Nor did we have tons of review to catch up on at the start of a new school year!)Quarterly reports would simply be required to list the title and publisher information of the curriculum used for each subject, as well as a grade for that quarter’s work.A synopsis of what concepts were covered during that quarter would not be required.This lifts the paperwork burden for parents without eliminating a healthy accountability level.State/Standardized testing requirements would be eliminated, and replaced with a written evaluation.This evaluation would qualify provided it was done by anyone with a current teaching certification in a general field (example - elementary education) or an advanced degree in a specified field (example - physics professor).This ensures that a professional educator interacts with the student at least once a year, yet allows freedom for the parent to choose that professional from a variety of sources.Evaluation through the local school would be provided if desired by the parent; otherwise, the parent would have freedom to choose the educator of their choice for the evaluation, provided they could submit proof of the validity of the teaching certification.Specific language would ensure that all are aware that, provided the appropriate minimum number of hours of study are engaged in throughout the school year as a whole, the hours in which said education occurs would be entirely up to the parents.No more calling the police on parents who take their children out or allow them to play outside in the morning.This would eliminate fear on the part of the parents, and set the stage for a far more friendly interaction should any truancy concerns arise.Parents would be required to sign a statement certifying that their children completed the appropriate minimum number of hours of education.Logging of those hours would not be required; the amount of curriculum coverage overall testified to in quarterly reports would be proof in itself of adequate instruction.And that’s that.Oh, I’d add more to the laws. I’d have it specifically state that the primary educator in a homeschool does not need an education degree. I’d have it specifically state that districts are not permitted to add on additional regulations of their own invention. And I would specifically overturn any state policy that requires homeschoolers to register as a private school.States who handle homeschooling households as “private schools” open the door wide to a vast degree of interpretation. California tried that, and while it first led to parents needing to be fingerprinted before educating their children, it eventually swung around to an incredibly unregulated system. Sadly, this leaves room for abusers of the system - both from parents who do not educate their children, and from school districts or individual officials who decide to improvise and embellish on the simple state regulations.Clear, basic, reasonable regulations create a friendly environment where neither the homeschooled nor the supervising district feels threatened. Simple regulations allow for a basic monitoring to ensure parents do not simply pull their children out of school and sit on them. Simple regulations mean that parents will be far more willing to do whatever it takes to comply with those regulations, rather than seeing a blurry set of standards or drowning under the expectations of the district.I am fervently for greater freedoms for homeschoolers. That’s why I’d like to see NY eliminate the standardized testing rules.Yet, I also realize the power of regulations that are reasonable to comply with. As a homeschooler, having a form of accountability gives me something to fall back on. Confused?If the state does not require any form of accountability throughout the school year, I have no way of proving to anyone that I was indeed educating my child.Or in other words, if California doesn’t require me to file quarterly reports or annual assessments, and someone alleges that our children were truant and are being abused, I have no way of proving they were receiving an adequate education. Those notebooks of work? Could be faked. The references from family friends? Could also be fake.But reports sent in four times a year, in advance of the deadline, stating the actual curriculum used and the grades received - once those are signed and filed with the district, there’s something official. Yes, those reports could all be faked. But that’s a decent amount of trouble to go through, and I’d have a hard time imagining a homeschooling family that would fake detailed paperwork four times a year and certify it to the district! Should that fail (either as a fraud, or be dismissed as inaccurate by the district), the end-of-year evaluation remains as proof. Parents wouldn’t have to worry about a social worker leading their child through an interview; yet, a valid certification would be required for whoever conducted those yearly assessments. Again, could it be faked? Yes. But someone would have to sign off on it - someone whom, presumably, the district would check the credentials on.What am I trying to say? Far from being my enemy, I believe that simple regulations are my friend.If the unthinkable had happened and one of our friendly neighbors had attempted to allege abuse against our family when I was being homeschooled, my Mom had years and years and years of quarterly reports - each sent in by registered mail with a return receipt - on file with the school district. One could flip through those reports, and see an overview of our school career. And yes, at home were stacks of completed notebooks that reflected that work.If push cane to shove, I’d rather have a stack of forms in the filing cabinet at the district office to back up my statements than just my own word!(There are other aspects I’d revise, including specific grade level course requirements. But that’s for another day!)If you want model homeschool regulations, I honestly like much of what the state of New York currently has. Yes, the standardized testing is ridiculous. Yes, they have many little unnecessary clauses. But, the big 3 - intent, quarterlies, and year-end evaluation - are, in my opinion, reasonable concepts.Clear state law removes the potential for individual districts to self-interpret and overreach. And I’m all for that!
