If i got let go from a job, but then rehired, will my pto still be there?
The reinstatement of PTO upon rehire varies by company policy and state law. In West Virginia, there isn't a specific law mandating this. Check your company's policy or consult with HR.
If my job fired me before i could use my pto, could that be on purpose?
Whether your job terminated you to avoid paying out PTO depends on the circumstances. In West Virginia:
*. There's no law forcing employers to pay unused PTO.
*. However, if there's a company policy stating otherwise, they must honor it.
*. If you suspect wrongful termination, seek legal advice.
If my apartment has mold growing on the ceiling due to water damage, and i only reported it once months ago, and they only fixed the roof damage and not the mold, and i didnt bring it up since then, is that my fault? The maintenance team did see the mold but never came to fix it and i forgot about it
In West Virginia, landlords are responsible for maintaining habitable conditions. This includes mold removal:
*. Reporting mold puts the responsibility on the landlord.
*. If the landlord fails to rectify the situation, you may have legal recourse.
*. Consult with a local housing authority or attorney for specific advice.
But is it my fault for not reaching out about it again?
No, it's not your fault. In West Virginia:
*. Once you've reported an issue, it's the landlord's duty to fix it.
*. If they fail to do so, it's their negligence, not yours.
*. You might consider seeking legal counsel for further advice.
Only if i reported it once?
Yes, even if you reported the issue just once. In West Virginia:
*. Landlords are obligated to maintain habitable conditions after an issue is reported.
*. Failing to fix a reported problem can be deemed negligence on their part.
*. Consider legal counsel for further advice.
So they should have come by after they fixed the roof then?
Yes, that's correct. In West Virginia:
*. After reporting the issue, it's the landlord's responsibility to fix it.
*. This includes addressing the mold issue after fixing the roof.
*. If they didn't, it can be considered negligence.
And could i use that fact to withold rent?
In West Virginia:
*. Withholding rent can be risky, as it might result in eviction.
*. It's better to consult legal counsel before taking such steps.
*. You may also contact your local housing authority for guidance.
What if my landlord gets angry about the mold if i bring it up in court and try to not renew my lease
In West Virginia:
*. Landlords can't retaliate by not renewing your lease if you raise legitimate issues.
*. If they attempt to, it could be seen as retaliatory eviction, which is illegal.
*. Consult a lawyer if you're concerned about retaliation.
