Tenancy for Years

Read a random definition: law of the trial

A quick definition of Tenancy for Years:

Tenancy for Years: A type of lease where the tenant agrees to rent a property for a fixed period of time. This means that the tenant knows exactly when the lease will end and no notice is needed to terminate the lease. It's like renting a toy for a certain number of days, and when the time is up, you have to return it.

A more thorough explanation:

A tenancy for years is a type of lease agreement that is set for a fixed period of time. This means that the tenant knows the exact date when the lease will end, and no notice is required for termination.

For example, if a tenant signs a tenancy for years lease for one year starting on January 1st, they know that the lease will end on December 31st of the same year. They do not need to give notice to the landlord to terminate the lease on that date.

Another example would be a tenant signing a tenancy for years lease for three years starting on July 1st. They know that the lease will end on June 30th three years later, and no notice is required to terminate the lease on that date.

These examples illustrate the concept of a tenancy for years lease, where the tenant and landlord agree on a fixed period of time for the lease and the tenant knows the exact date when the lease will end.

Just joshin, but, yeah if you look at schools delta in GPA, it is a factor. Take TAMU, very GPA focused: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sHLKXAPP8icwEJK1VSJ3Wm25BVHVarfaB6zbZU1oaWk/edit?usp=sharing

i ask bc like i'm transferring next year for my last 2 years of ugrad, choosing between 2 canadian schools, and (and i know this sounds kind of ridiculous and sweaty) i'm considering whether i should take into account the fact that grade deflation is worse AND lsac gpa calculation is less forgiving at one of them

such notwithstanding my preference is the more difficult school so i'm wondering since i already got a 180 if i should still worry about which one can get me a slightly higher gpa

llama

12:28

It is a subject of debate, but: 1. schools are aware of GPA inflation, and allegedly take it into account. 2. Law schools vary with regard to their desire for a high uGPA. If you got a 180, first that is awesome, but second, even a 3.9 would be above the 75th percentile at 99% of schools, so you would likely only experience adverse outcomes, given a 3.9 vs 4.3 at select schools

I'm not qualified to give advice but it seems you would be fine even with a 3.9 at almost all schools

Evidently the Ed Snowden documents, which clearly indicate the CIA shares your online discourse with American institutions of higher learning [law schools], has never met your gaze. But, as the US gov likes to put it, if you have done no wrong, you have nothing to hide!

what if umich accepted me because of my abhorrent comments in this chat

llama

Guys I have no idea who's thoughts were expressed above under my username, I have just taken my meds and have no recollection of posting the aforementioned Edgelord gibberish which is completely baseless and devoid of any factual premises.

@windyMagician: If you were accepted before Jan 1, 2025, then that would make sense, for it is clearly stated in their admissions policy: "abhorrent comments will be used to an applicants advantage early cycle and to the applicants detriment late cycle," where late/early cycle are footnoted to be differentiated on the first day of the new year within the cycle.

@Thespinelessspinnerspinnedspinepriortopervingpines: I am unsure what ''mewing" means without context. However, I can say that if you mean a technique that involves placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth to improve your jawline and facial structure, I can confirm you are correct, and Mewing works, for jawline is my most notable feature expressed by new acquaintances.

I wish I could, but this is the new me. After successfully building an artificial savant syndrome inducing machine [Patent Pending], I have obtained extraordinary abilities and talents in specific areas, notably written communication and understanding. I will use these newly acquired abilities to score a 180 in April. Regretfully, this trade off comes at a great cost to normies, such as yourself, who have to endure my rather mechanical expressive syntax.
