Last week I received my settlement from the year and a half long legal battle with my old landlord. Despite the indeterminately large amount of damage we caused to the house over our 2 years, I still got $320 of my security deposit back. It ultimately rested on my landlords terrible record keeping meant they couldn't prove what damage occurred when. They were unethical and terrible landlords anyways. Everyone remembers me dominating them during the door fiasco of 2008 right?
I was throwing out all my old files relating to the case when I came across all my other legal items from college. I kinda forgot how many legal problems I had and subsequently weaseled out of. Student Legal Services is the best $7 of tuition I've ever been charged. I came across speeding tickets from Oklahoma and Iowa, MIP's, Noise Violations. There was the unpaid parking ticked from Chicago. The notice to appear on a trash violation. But then I came across this.
This is a judgement by the 15th district court to reduce a noise violation to a civil infraction of blocking a sidewalk. Around that time noise violations were running us $600-$800 because we were repeat offenders. I'm not sure exactly how I managed to get a loud party reduced to me blocking the sidewalk but I'll take it.
