We will try to finish co-tenancies today.

Tomorrow (Friday) class will be devoted to a Q & A session. No new assignment for Friday.

Tonight, review your notes and come tomorrow with your questions.

Landlord-Tenant Law Speaker

 I thought I would forward this message and encourage you to attend.

The Nebraska Real Estate Law Society will be hosting local real estate attorney Jan Beran Tuesday, November 19th from 12:10 - 1:00 in room 111.

Jan will be speaking about landlord-tenant law and his general practice as a real estate attorney.  Anyone interested in keeping their rent deposit is encouraged to attend.  If you have already given up hope on your deposit, this is also a great opportunity to learn about tenant rights, evictions, rental agreements and other landlord-tenant issues.  

Pizza will be provided, so please RSVP by Monday at noon.

Thanks,

Weekend Reflection--Nebraska and Property

On my recent travels, I decided to re-read one of my favorite books about Nebraska and life--Local Wonders by Nebraska's Poet Laureate, Ted Kooser. He tells a story about Branched Oak Lake and how government had to take some family farms that were in the path of the waters.

[A]nd the government condemned their land. An old man told me recently that his aunt, a single woman in old age, refused to leave her house. "She just kept going back there," he said. "They'd come and take her away, and pretty soon she'd be back. Finally, they had to go down there and break all the windows out of the house to get her to leave." The signs read Recreation Area. Her house is underneath it somewhere.

Remember this story when we read the Kelo case next semester.

And if you are looking for a great read, Local Wonders may be your ticket.
