I used to work for the City of NY in housing court, and basically, in housing court if the tenant can show *any* effort whatsoever, the judge will probably tell the landlord to get bent.

Thanks guys. My lawyer doesn't want me to get too confident but it seemed pretty clear that it would either get thrown out quickly or be quashed through the usual means. If they do an inspection, which they'd have to, at some point if it gets that far, it won't be a problem. I mean, *I'd* want to live here, if it wasn't my home... by that I mean I feel that it isn't home anymore. So much has changed. :/

Just took some tonight! Will send them over to you and want to have you over anyway, since I might as well entertain in my new space.

Sounds like a plan!

Just about a month to go before Coriolanus.

People who become lower-court judges tend to think that the "wisdom of Solomon" means "everybody has to give up a little something"--i.e., that it would actually be a good idea to slice the baby in half.

Is that good for me or bad for me?

It's good for you! You can prove how much you've done to be a great tenant; all the landlord can prove is that it's been busting your hump.
