The document summarizes several cases related to easements in Malaysian land law. In the first case, Alfred Templeton & Ors v Low Yat Holdings Sdn Bhd & Anor, the court granted equitable relief to the plaintiff and ordered an easement be registered based on promises made by the defendant during a land sale that led the plaintiff to believe they would have right of way access. In Datin Siti Hajar v Murugasu, the court ruled that long use of a road across the plaintiff's land did not constitute an easement since it was not expressly granted. And in EW Talalla v Ng Yee Fong & Anor and Tan Wee Choon v Ong Peck
This document summarizes six appeals heard together regarding the apportionment of compensation for lands acquired in Delhi. The appellant claimed 25% of compensation awarded as the landowner, with 75% going to the respondent lessees. The court analyzed previous rulings and found that since compensation was assessed based on market value of the lands and not just leasehold rights, the ratios in previous cases allocating 25% to the landowner and 75% to lessees applied in this case as well. The court therefore allowed the appeals and allocated compensation accordingly.

Key aspects of a charge include the parties (chargor as landowner/borrower and chargee as lender), creation through execution and registration of charge documents, and remedies available to the chargee such as auction if the chargor defaults. An equitable/unregistered charge may also exist through possession of title documents by the lender, though it is not as strong an interest as a registered statutory charge.

Restraints on dealings prevent transactions related to disputed land from being registered. The main types of restraints in Malaysia are lis pendens, injunctions, caveats, and prohibitory orders. Caveats freeze the land register until the dispute is resolved, protecting the caveator's claim. Unlike caveats, injunctions are court orders that do not register on the land title but can still prevent dealings. While caveats and injunctions both restrain transactions, injunctions require court approval and can protect a broader range of interests.

Sam owns a building that he leased to ABC, Inc. for 10 years. In 2014, ABC paid Sam a $1 million lump sum payment in addition to the monthly rent payments, per the lease agreement. The lease stated the lump sum would reduce future rent costs. Sam used the $1 million to pay down his construction loan for the building. According to tax law and previous court rulings, Sam must report the entire $1 million as rental income in 2014, the year he received it, rather than allocating it over multiple years. Structuring the payment differently, such as having ABC pay the contractor directly, could have avoided treating it as prepaid rental income.

Exposing an invisible_killer_-_a_factsheet_on_the_dangers_of_carbon_monoxide_...ezLandlordForms
Each year in the US, over 500 people die from carbon monoxide poisoning and over 15,000 are hospitalized from exposure. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and toxic gas that can kill before symptoms are noticed. Sources of CO include gas appliances, charcoal grills, wood burning stoves, vehicle exhaust and more. Those at highest risk include babies, children, elderly and people with heart/lung conditions. The document provides steps to take if a CO alarm sounds, including ventilating the home, calling professionals for help, and evacuating if anyone feels ill. Protecting against CO involves annual appliance inspections, never using gas appliances for heating, and installing CO alarms near sleeping areas.

California q&a regarding_family_daycare_for_landlordsezLandlordForms
Landlords cannot prohibit tenants from operating licensed family child care homes or evict tenants who operate them. While tenants must notify landlords of family child care operations, no additional permission is required. Family child care is considered a residential, not business, use. Landlords' concerns about insurance, costs, or noise are addressed by law protecting tenants' right to provide family child care.
This complaint is filed by a plaintiff seeking to evict defendant tenants from a residential property. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to pay rent or comply with their rental agreement and were served with a notice. Though the notice provided time to pay rent or cure any violation, the defendants did not comply. The plaintiff is seeking a judgment for possession of the property, a writ of assistance to remove the defendants, unpaid rent and damages.
This notice informs the tenant that they owe $XXX in unpaid rent and must pay by a specified date and time, which is at least 7 days from receipt of the notice. If payment is not made, the tenancy will be terminated and they must move out. Failure to pay or vacate by the deadline may result in an eviction lawsuit being filed against the tenant.
