I HAVE a job. My income is directly related to my paychecks which were in the PO hands.
So, your core argument is:
*Rimshot*
It's Bush's Fault!
I understand that, but what good is this job if you're not getting paid for it, or not getting the money when you need it? That's kind of my whole point--you can sit there and say "But I have a job!" but if you're not getting paid, what good is it? Are you going to sit in the street and say "But I have a job!" or are you going to get a temp job where you get paid--some even pay that day--to pay your bills NOW or get a place NOW?
If you need money, get a temp job. If you don't need money, why are you asking how to sue?
If this is for real...
For those crying foul. So many apartments and all were lost in the storm that its not a problem of getting a job in New Orleans, there is simply nowhere to live if your house or apartment was destroyed. I have one brother who has now moved to North Louisiana for good. I am in the process of moving to Georgia while relatives that lost their home use mine there. In fact the industries that New Orleans depends on is in trouble because while good paying service industry jobs are available (I saw $12 per hour at Burger King with a $600 signing bonus) there is no place for them to live!
I was missing a VA disability check for 3 months, I finally got it last week. Mail in New ORleans is still screwed up. My mother gets mail in fits and spurts, sometimes she gets mail that is 6 months old, sometimes it was mailed yesterday.
Apartment owners in New Orleans area who still have livable properties can and are breaking leases for any little reason to jack up the prices. Apparently it is pretty much legal there for them to do it.
If you really are a Lakeview girl I can sympathize, my aunt lost her home there, 50 years of stuff and memories were washed away. Good luck in your fight, but I am afraid in Louisiana the landlord has the upper hand.
