Renting can be difficult for a whole host of reasons: Rental costs are rising, landlords can be strict or unhelpful, there can be pretty high upfront costs, and it can mean you move more often, which can become pretty expensive. And on top of all of that, you have to be very careful with how you decorate your home—that is, if you want your security deposit back.

Death Disclosure Laws and Property Disclosures in North Carolina. In North Carolina, there is no legal obligation for homeowners or real estate agents to disclose if a death has occurred in a home, whether by natural causes, murder, or suicide. However, if a potential buyer directly inquires about any deaths on the property, the seller is required to provide that information.

One of the benefits of living in the Sonoran Desert is the winter and summer rainy seasons. You may be surprised to learn that we have five seasons in our region of the Southwest: winter, spring, dry summer, wet summer and fall. The second part of summer is first felt around the beginning of July, with increased humidity and clouds on the horizon. Gusty winds, dust storms and microbursts can also occur at this time of year, which lasts through September.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

3 Zodiac Signs That Bear the Burden Alone

Show me a bathroom in a rental apartment, and all I’ll see is a space that is nearly impossible to beautify. After years of renting, I’ve seen plenty of blah, character-less bathrooms—and I’ve been frustrated again and again by how hard it is to make your bathroom your own when you can’t paint, replace fixtures, or otherwise make any permanent changes to the space. Sure, you can get custom stick-on tiles and removable wallpaper and all sorts of fancy semi-permanent accents, but are you willing to spend all that money? And is it worth it for a space that you’ll enjoy for just two or three years?

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

A developing tropical disturbance in the Caribbean is showing increasing potential to enter the eastern Gulf of Mexico, intensify, and impact areas along the Gulf Coast, likely between Florida and Louisiana. If the system gains a name, it will be designated Tropical Storm Debby. This system has the potential to bring significant rainfall to the eastern Gulf Coast, and depending on its strength, could also generate hazardous winds and a dangerous storm surge.
