真是非常非常非常地謝謝您,謝謝您如此詳盡而又周到地解釋和建議.也非常欣賞您幹練的思維和英語能力.真是非常的謝謝.
一個小孩,剛剛出國,就要麵臨這樣的事情,實在有些殘酷,就連我們大人,都有些受打擊.
1. When she left the suitcase to the landlord, what exactly did she do and what exactly did she say to the landlord?
小孩住進老頭的房子後,老頭對小孩很親切,說在她身上看見了過去的自己.很關照她.
小孩就覺得自己遇見好人了.
臨時要回國時,小孩退掉了她的房間,(因為占著房間的話,要產生不必要的租金),老頭還有別的空房間,小孩準備回美國後,還住老頭那裏.所以她把行李箱托老頭保管,直到她回美國後.老頭也答應她的.說把她的行李箱放在自己家裏的壁櫥內,一直到她回來.
小孩也沒有要老頭寫收條.
2. Did she owe rent?
沒有.她住的幾個月的房租在她走之前都付清了.
3. Is there any written lease?
我侄女說租房時有簽約,但她把文件放那行李箱裏了.
4. Is there anything in writing, e.g., email?
小孩回來後,老頭和她有過email聯係.但他們沒有談到行李箱的事.
直到前天小孩在email中問了一句,[行李箱沒事嗎?],結果老頭回信說,已經沒了,danated to Salvation Army了.開始我們還以為老頭開玩笑呢,打國際電話給他,才知道不是開玩笑.
小孩的箱子有鎖,但老頭在電話中透露出他知道箱子裏東西的內容,說明他已經把箱子給撬開了.小孩很受打擊.想到那老頭撬箱的樣子,連我們大人都感到可怕.
在電話中,我們提出要老頭賠償,老頭說,[你回來後,還住我這裏,讓你白住不就在了嗎?]
我們很震驚,如此侵吞別人的東西,居然還能提出讓小孩回去後還住他那裏,不由地讓人懷疑這個人的神經和意圖,小孩說,那老頭有各個房間的鑰匙.實在是欺人太甚,實在是讓人無法原諒.
之後老頭就擅自把電話掛了,也不再接電話了.
現在唯一有的證據就是email了.那老頭唯一露出的馬腳.
>You did not tell which jurisdiction.
是紐約.小孩子本來就很辛苦.
>Under majority rule, even if your neice is a tenant in sufferance, meaning she retained the possession of the rental property after expiration of the lease without paying rent, the landlord cannot just go to the room, or otherwise she will have an eviction claim against him. Old days, e.g. , under common law, he may be able to use self-help to settle unpaid rent by selling personal stuff of the sufferance tenant. NOT ANYMORE in most jurisdictions. The landlord must go to court to get an eviction order or sue for ejectment.
>Assuming that is not the case, and your niece did not give the suitcase to him as a gift (apparently not), what she can do is to first, emial the landlord and tell him he wrongfully deprived her of the property and ask him to get it back from salvation army. Meanwhile, list all the property and their value in case she need sue.
多謝您的解釋和建議.我們會叫小孩馬上這樣做的.
>When she comes back, file a police report for larceny or criminal conversion. She will need a lawyer to sue the landlord if she does not know the law or court procedure.
象這種事情,美國的警察會動嗎?
其實,如果警察可以去老頭家搜的話,一定可以在老頭家裏找到我侄女的東西的.都是有特征的.老頭不可能圓慌.
但美國的警察接到報警後,會去搜家嗎?
一個是在美國生活多年的美國公民,一個是剛到美國的外國學生.美國的警察能公平的處理嗎?
>It is almost a sure thing to win.
您是說,這個case是我侄女能贏的case嗎?
>Remember, the landlord has the burden to prove she gave the suitcase to him as a gift or that she abandoned the suitcase, which in this case it does not appear like because the landlord would not send the email to notify her if he thinks she abandoned the property. The claims against him would be trespass or conversion.
是的,我侄女回來後老頭和我侄女有聯係,也聯係得上,如果要處理的話,最起碼要事先通知她一聲才是.
>The remedy is the actual value if she can reasonably prove it,
您是說,如果要打官司,或報警的話,我侄女必須要證明她箱子裏有什麽東西,價值多少嗎?
需要怎樣的證明才行呢?
>or a constructive trust to get the property back, or equitable lien to let the landlord pay for the value of the property.
看電話裏老頭的態度,我估計他是在吃我侄女,欺負人,當然一個剛出國的小女孩,是容易讓他欺負的.估計那老頭,不到萬不得以,是不會輕易賠償的.
>One thing you need consider is the economy. A lawyer may refuse to represent and may charge more than $300 an hour for the fee.
美國的律師是按小時計算的嗎?有沒有一個案子多少費用的套餐型的?
>How much would be the property worth and how much can you recover after paying the lawyer? If there is heirloom or something has great sentimental value or she can prove the landlord did it in bad faith so that she may recover punitive damage, go for it.
箱子裏麵的東西大約價值2萬人民幣左右.有些東西我估計將是我侄女一生的寶物.就如此被人輕易奪走,實在是有些不符人之常情.
