The Project Management Life Cycle Explained

The Project Management Life Cycle ExplainedThe Project Management Life Cycle ExplainedWhether you are building a house, implementing an international software rollout or organizing your sons birthday party, any project will go through common stages- no matter how long or short the timescale to complete the task. These common stages are seen in all projects and are the components which make up the project life cycle. There are four stages, which are Starting the projectPlanning the projectDoing the workClosing down the project While all projects go through these stages in their life cycle, the length of time each takes will vary depending on the individual needs of the project. Lets look at each of those stages in a bit more detail. The Four Stages of a Project Life Cycle Starting the projectThis should be a relatively short stage where the strategic goals are outlined and the resources available for the project are defined. You set the vision in this stage. PlanningThis is the st age where the work is planned. The order work needs to take place in is outlined and resources (such as staff members and equipment) are allocated to tasks. Doing the workThe tasks required to complete the project are carried out in this stage. This can take place in one phase or in a number of phases, depending on the needs and complexity of the project. This stage ends when the planned deliverables have all been achieved. Closing downThe completion of the project happens in this stage which can include a review of the project and the handover of the product or service. 3 Types of Project Life Cycles Adaptive These projects are designed from the start to be open to change. This is to ensure all stakeholders remain on board throughout the projects life. Changes at all stages are anticipated and budget planning should include contingency funds to allow changes to happen without risking going over budget. Best for Projects where you dont know exactly how you want the end result to look yet. Predictive All aspects of how the project should happen are defined in the first and second stages. This is a relatively rigid structure which does not allow for the project to move beyond the original scope. Change can happen but it is likely to involve unplanned cost. Many projects follow a predictive life cycle as a well-planned project which does not expect to accommodate far-reaching changes from stakeholders should be able to follow its plan with little deviation. Best for Projects that are structured, with clear objectives and are being led by an experienced team. Projects with a defined plan or that have been done before and are likely to follow the same route with no deviation. Incremental Phases of the project are planned to be repeated allowing the project team to improve the performance of the product or service over time. The activity of the next incremental stage may not be planned until feedback from the current stage has been gathered. Best for Projects th at are going to run for some time, where there is the appetite for continual improvement.

How to Decide What Type of Law to Practice

How to Decide What Type of Law to PracticeHow to Decide What Type of Law to PracticeLaw students (and even many lawyers) struggle to figure out whattype of law they want to practice. In law school, its easy to think you only have two choices corporate or litigation (at least in schools where the expectation is youll go into a large firm right out of school) but there are lots of options. And finding a good fit for your personality and interests is one key to happiness in a legal career. Here are a few considerations to determine what type of law would be a good fit for you How Much You Like to Argue Few anticipate the level of day-to-day conflict they would be participating in as litigators. Its clear they will be arguing in court, but they underestimate the level of ongoing animosity with opposing counsel and so on. If you think you want to be a litigator, be sure you like fighting. The happiest litigators love the game and thrive on winning. If youre more conciliatory, a differ ent option might be a better fit. Itis possible to switch. Heres a story of a young associate leaving litigation, and leaving BigLaw in search of a better fit in a corporate position at a startup. How Motivated You Are by Money Studies of lawyers suggest that the happiest lawyers tend to be the lowest paid. Unfortunately, in the legal profession, theres often a tradeoff between meaningful work and high pay. If you know that youre highly motivated by making a lot of money, youre going to be happy in a very different job than someone who is less financially motivated and cares more about doing work they personally consider meaningful and important. Neither approach is better than the other, but its critical to think about where you personally frage on this spectrum for lasting happiness. How Much Control You Need Over Your Work Life The reality of the legal profession is that you wont necessarily exercise perfect control over your work. You might be subject to the demands of t he court, of partners you work for, or of the funding cycle of your non-profit. However, there are ways to gain more control over your working life, from starting a solo practice to something less drastic such as taking a job at a government agency with more predictable hours and demands. Different people thrive in different types of work environments, so think about what you need. If you crave autonomy and control over your time, BigLaw probably isnt the best choice. How Much InteractionYou Need With Other People Law, on the whole, disproportionally attracts introverted people. If you like to engage with lots of other people on an ongoing basis, its important to look for legal jobs where this is the default. In many cases, lawyers are heads-down in their own offices churning out work. If youd rather be working in a team, or even just going to court regularly, youre going to have to proactively seek these experiences out. What You Like to Do As you go through law school or your early legal career, pay careful attention to the type of day-to-day work you enjoy. Are you happiest writing briefs? Working with clients? Negotiating deals? Planning an oral argument? As a lawyer, youre going to spend a lot of time working, and its important to look at the nitty-gritty of what youll actually be spending time on. Make sure you enjoy the daily work, and youll be much happier as an attorney.

Marine Corps Landing Support Technician

seestreitmacht korporation Landing Support TechnicianMarine Corps Landing Support TechnicianAmerican Marines stormed their first beach on the island of Nassau during the Revolutionary War, and theyve been leading the way in expeditionary warfare ever since. Few Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) represent this history of innovation and adventure better than the Landing Support Technicians, MOS 0481 or Red Patchers, so named for the distinctive red patches of fabric they wear on their utility unifassons. As one of the few adornments allowed on the Marines typically austere field uniform, its hard to miss. See, during the Battle of Tarawa in World War II, the brass found out just how confusing it can be to drop thousands of troops and tons of equipment on a beach. During such a complex operation, its easy for the boots on the ground to get a bit turned around. Thats why, according to the Marines 4th Landing Support Battalion website, planners decided to have shore party Marines s et themselves apart with red patches on their uniforms. To this day, its still a tradition among Landing Support Technicians, who are the masters of coordinating movement to and from the beachhead in battle. Duties and Responsibilities Think of Landing Support Marines as air traffic controllers for the troops, tanks, and supplies on the shore. They form the shore party that land on the beach ahead of the combat troops, where they organize the movement of equipment from ship to shore, ensuring everything gets where it needs to go efficiently. But when it comes to tactics, the Marine Corps is about keeping with the times Landing Support Specialists do more these days than just coordinate ship-to-shore movement. They also support the establishment, maintenance, and control of transportation throughput systems on . . . aircraft landing zones, ports (air and sea), and terminals (rail, truck, and container), according to the Marine Corps MOS Manual. So in addition to coordinating land ings under fire, 0481s are on hand to support such large movements as the deployment and return of entire forces in countries like Iraq and Kuwait. I saw first-hand how crucial they were as my battalion, and many others, packed up tons of our equipment to be shipped home after the first phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom. That Marine had a hefty responsibility, but I would have preferred his job to be the grumpy Lance Corporal cleaning months of sand out of the shipping containers and gathering up all the inventory. Military Requirements To become a Landing Support Tech, you need a General Technical score of at least 95 on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, and a Mechanical Maintenance score of at least 100. Applicants must be US citizens who, after a background check, are determined eligible for a Secret security clearance. Education Landing Support is open to high school graduates. After earning the title Marine at recruit training, and attending Marine Combat T raining (MCT) for non-infantry personnel, 0481s attend the Basic Landing Support Specialist Course aboard Camp Johnson. Thats a little a corner of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina that used to be home to the first boot camp for African American Marines, prior to the militarys racial integration. Its also convenient if you joined the Corps on the east coast youll just have to pick up your seabag and walk across the street from MCT. According to the American Council on Education, the course lasts from a month to a month and a half and includes lectures and practical experiences in camouflage, mine warfare, demolitions, amphibious operations, and field fortification construction. In the words of school commander Lieutenant Colonel Carpenter, its most pressing purpose is producing Marines for the Operating Forces . . . to deploy with a combat organization. Marines in other career tracks can be designated Landing Support Specialists, if their unit needs more, after six months of on-the-jo b training. However, they wont be permanently assigned to the 0481 career track - for promotion and assignment purposes, theyll still fall under the MOS they were school-trained for. Career Outlook Given the nature of the job, Landing Support Technicians should prepare to go on frequent deployments, both to combat zones in the War on Terror and for training cruises and exercises, such as those conducted every six months by Marine Expeditionary Units. Career Marines who reach Staff Non-Commissioned Officer rank (E-6 and up) may also be called on as Combat Cargo Assistants (CCAs) onboard naval amphibious assault ships (MOS Manual.) Marines in it for the long haul may eventually advance to MOS 0491 - Logistics and Mobility Chief - at the rank of Gunnery Sergeant (E-7). Like all other Marines, 0481s must continuously develop essential skills outside their job specialty through Professional Military Education. Furthermore, special duty assignments like Drill Instructor, Recruiter, or Marine Security Guard provide a break from the usual routine of the job. More importantly, they give you an opportunity to diversify your career portfolio and stand out when competing for promotion. For life after the Marine Corps, the American Council on Education recommends experience credits for computer applications, supervision, transportation management, and business communications. Military.coms Military Skills Translator suggests such civilian careers as Shipping and Receiving, Merchandise Planning and Buying, and Operations or Plant Management.

Power of Attorney FAQ - Australia-VIC

Power of Attorney FAQ - Australia-VICPower of Attorney FAQ - Australia-VICGeneral InformationWhat is a Power of Attorney?A Power of Attorney is a document in which one rolle (the Donor) appoints anotherbeibei person (the Attorney) to act for him or her. There are many reasons why you might want to appoint someone else to look after your financial affairs. For example, if you are going to be out of the country for a lengthy period of time, you might want someone to do your banking while you are gone. If you are approaching old age, you may want to give a Power of Attorney to a person you trust so that he or she can manage your property for you.What are the differences between enduring and ordinary Powers of Attorney?There are two major types of Powers of Attorney ordinary and enduring.An ordinary Power of Attorney is only valid as long as the Donor is capable of acting for him or herself. If the Donor dies or becomes mentally incompetent, the Power of Attorney is invalidated.An Enduri ng Power of Attorney remains valid even if the Donor later becomes mentally incompetent. (Note the Donor must be competent at the time the Power of Attorney is made.)In either case, the Power of Attorney becomes invalid when the Donor dies. A Power of Attorney cannot be used to bequeath property upon the death of the Donor.What are the differences between general and specific Powers of Attorney?A general Power of Attorney is one that gives the Attorney the authority to do anything the Donor could do him or herself. A specific Power of Attorney is one that gives the Attorney authority to act for a particular purpose. (For example to buy or sell a particular piece of property.)Will a Power of Attorney still be valid after the Donor dies?NO. Generally Speaking, when a person dies, the Executor (also called a Personal Representative) appointed in the persons Last Will and Testament takes control of the deceased persons property and distributes it according to the instructions in the Wil l. If there is no Will (or if the Will is invalid), each jurisdiction has intestacy legislation that distributes the deceased persons property to his or her relatives according to a set of rules. A court generally appoints an Administrator to oversee this process. Unfortunately, the deceased persons wishes are not taken into account during the process (which can be very lengthy), since they have not been formally expressed in the proper manner.Will a Power of Attorney allow me to appoint someone to make welfare and medical decisions on my behalf?In most of Australia, powers of attorney do not give someone the right to make decisions about your welfare or medical treatment. Usually, a medical power of attorney or anticipatory directive is required to deal with non-financial matters. The exception to this rule is found in Australian Capital Territory and Queensland. In the Australian Capital Territory you can use your Enduring Power of Attorney to appoint someone to run your everyday affairs (other than property and money) and consent to medical treatment and medical donation while you are incapacitated. In Queensland you can use your Enduring Power of Attorney to appoint someone to make personal and health decisions when your capacity is impaired.The DonorWho is the Donor?The Donor is the person who needs someone else to act for him or her. The Donor must be an adult. The Donor must be capable of making his or her own decisions at the time the Power of Attorney is executed (signed).What is incapacity?A person is incapable of managing property if the person is unable to understand information relevant to making a decision about the management of property, or if the person cannot appreciate the foreseeable consequences of making (or not making) a decision about the management of property.The AttorneyWho is the Attorney?The person appointed by the Donor is called the Attorney. The Attorney is the person who acts for the Donor.Does the Attorney have to be a lawyer? No, there is no need for the Attorney to be a lawyer. (See below for Attorney qualifications.)What qualifications does an Attorney need to have?The Attorney must be a capable adult. The Attorney cannot be an undischarged bankrupt. The Attorney should not be the owner, operator or employee of a nursing home or extended care facility in which the Donor is a resident.What qualities should I look for in an Attorney?Your Attorney must be someone whom you trust completely. In addition, remember that your Attorney will have complete authority to deal with your financial and legal affairs (subject to any limitations or restrictions specified in your Power of Attorney). You should ensure that the person you choose has adequate financial management skills and sufficient time to handle your affairs properly. Your Attorney must be available when required, be able to objectively make decisions and be able to keep accurate financial records.What are the responsibilities of my Attorney?Your Attorn ey has the following responsibilities to act in your best interest to keep accurate records of dealings/transaction undertaken on your behalf to act for you with the utmost good faith and to avoid situations where there is a conflict of interest and to keep your property and money separate from their own.Is it okay to appoint a relative as Attorney?Yes, people often appoint relatives as Attorneys.Can my Attorney also be a beneficiary in my will?Yes.What are Joint or Joint Several Attorneys?Sometimes a Donor will want to appoint two Attorneys. In that case the Donor must decide whether the Attorneys will be joint Attorneys or joint and several Attorneys. Joint Attorneys must act together. They must both agree before any action can be taken, and they must both take the same action at the same time. If one is absent, no action can be taken. Joint and several Attorneys can act together or individually. Either one can take an action without consulting the other. If one is absent, the ot her can still act.In Victoria, what is an Alternate/Substitute Attorney? Do I need one?It is a good idea to appoint an alternate/substitute Attorney but it is not absolutely necessary. An alternate/substitute Attorney can only act when the Attorney is unable or unwilling to continue acting for the Donor. Note A third party (e.g. the Donors bank) may require proof that the original Attorney is unable to continue as Attorney before accepting instructions from the alternate. Where two Attorneys have been appointed, the document may state that if one dies or is otherwise incapable of acting, the other will continue as sole.Victoria I am an Attorney. How should I sign documents on the Donors behalf?There is no one standard way for an Attorney to sign documents. However, when you do sign, it is important that you clearly state who the Donor is and that you are acting as their Attorney. One convention is to write the Donors name, then sign your name, and then indicate that you are the Atto rney. The following is an exampleJohn Johnson, by Jane Smith, Attorney.You should always have a copy of the Power of Attorney with you whenever you are acting as an Attorney. You may be required to sign an affidavit stating that the Power of Attorney is valid, that it hasnt been revoked, and that the Donor is still alive. And remember failure to comply with directions given by the Donor, without reasonable cause, can leave you subject to civil liability for any damages caused by noncompliance.Place and TimeWhat is Jurisdiction?A jurisdiction is a place that has its own laws. It is a territory with boundaries, such as a state or a province. For example, California is a jurisdiction in the United States, Ontario is a jurisdiction in Canada, Scotland is a jurisdiction in the United Kingdom and Queensland is a jurisdiction in Australia.What is the Governing Law?A Power of Attorney is governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the actions of the Attorney will be performed. Normally, t his is the place in which the property of the Donor is located. Therefore, it is not a good idea to appoint an Attorney who resides in a different jurisdiction, unless the property or assets you want the Attorney to deal with are also in the different jurisdiction. If you anticipate that your Attorney will be acting in more than one jurisdiction, you should probably make separate Powers of Attorney for each jurisdiction.Examples If your bank accounts and other property are located in the jurisdiction where you live, you will want to appoint an Attorney who lives in the same jurisdiction. If you live in one jurisdiction but have a bank account or other property someplace else, and you want an Attorney to deal with that property, you will want to choose the place where the property is located as the governing law, and appoint an Attorney who is located in (or is willing to travel to) the same jurisdiction as the property.When does a Power of Attorney start?A Power of Attorney can star t on a date specified in the document, or upon the occurrence of an event (such as disability or incompetence). If there is no specified date or event, a Power of Attorney starts immediately upon execution.NOTE In Victoria, an Enduring Power of Attorney does not confer authority until the Attorney signs the Statement of Acceptance.How/when does a Power of Attorney end?An ordinary Power of Attorney ends automatically when the Donor becomes mentally incapacitated or dies. An Enduring Power of Attorney ends automatically when the Donor dies. As long as you are mentally capable, you may revoke your Power of Attorney at any time by notifying your Attorney (in writing) that the Power is revoked and destroying the original Power of Attorney. Otherwise, a Power of Attorney continues in effect indefinitely, unless the document specifies an end date.Can I revoke my Power of Attorney after I have become incompetent?A person who is incompetent cannot revoke an Enduring Power of Attorney. Howeve r, an ordinary Power of Attorney is automatically revoked when the Donor is found to be incompetent.How do I revoke my Power of Attorney?You can revoke, or cancel, a Power of Attorney by giving your Attorney a written notice saying that his or her power has ended. Also, you may make a new Power of Attorney that states your previous Power of Attorney is now revoked (but you must still notify the previous Attorney of the revocation). Third parties (e.g., people or organisations that have been dealing with the Attorney) must also be notified. Additionally, if your Power of Attorney is registered you must also register the revocation.Please note that if you fail to inform your attorney of the revocation, your Attorney can legally continue to make decisions on your behalf.PowersShould I put restrictions on my Attorney?When you give a general Power of Attorney, you give your Attorney the authority to do anything you could do yourself, with a few exceptions - such as areas where you posses s skills that your attorney doesnt (e.g. if you are a dentist, you cannot authorise your Attorney to practice dentistry on your behalf). But there may be some things you would prefer your Attorney did not do. For example, you may want to require that your Attorney get prior approval from you before signing cheques for large amounts on your account.Should my Attorney be allowed to personally benefit from managing my assets?If the person you are appointing as your Attorney is also a member of your family or a beneficiary in your will, you may want that person to be able to personally benefit from managing your assets, since you intend that person to become owner of the assets eventually. Generally, however, it is probably not a good idea to allow your Attorney to personally benefit from managing your assets as this creates a conflict of interest for your Attorney, who is legally obligated to act in your best interest, not his or her own best interest.What can the Attorney do?The Attor ney may transact business respecting the Donors property in all areas specified by the Donor.Is the Attorney obligated to do anything?Generally speaking, the Attorney is not obligated to act for the Donor. However, in some circumstances the Attorney may agree, in writing, to accept an obligation to take action when necessary. When the Attorney acts on behalf of the Donor, the Attorney must act in the best interest of the Donor.Does my Attorney have the authority to act while I am still available and able to take care of my own finances?Generally speaking, a Power of Attorney is effective as soon as it is executed (signed and witnessed, etc.) whether or not the Donor is available or able to handle his or her own affairs. However, the document might specify that it will only be effective under certain conditions. For example, some Powers of Attorney specify that they will not come into effect unless and until the Donor has become mentally incompetent to handle his or her own finances. Note Some jurisdictions do not allow Powers of Attorney that commence upon the occurrence of a condition or event such as mental incapacity.Signing DetailsWhat does it mean to execute a document?When a person executes a document, he or she signs it with the proper formalities. For example If there is a legal requirement that the signature on the document be witnessed, the person executes the document by signing it in the presence of the required number of witnesses.How should I sign my Power of Attorney document?To be valid, you must sign the document with your usual cheque signing signature.

The witnessing requirements (number of witnesses required, whether or not notarisation is needed) should still be those of the place where the Power of Attorney will be used, however.Can I use my Power of Attorney in a different state/territory?Some territories and states have mutual recognition provisions in their Power of Attorney legislation which provide portability of powers within Australia.

For more information about document authentication and legalisation, contact the local consulate/embassy of the foreign country your document will be going to, or one of the following government web sitesUnited States https//travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal-considerations/judicial/authentication-of-documents/office-of-authentications.html/Australia dfat.gov.au/brisbane/index.htmlOther Considerations Do I have to pay my Attorney?Depending on the kind of relationship you have with the person who will be acting as your Attorney, you will have to consider whether they should be paid for their services. You can stipulate in your document that your Attorney will not receive any payment except the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, or you can agree to pay your Attorney a specified amount. If you prefer, you can authorise your Attorney to pay him or herself a reasonable amount for acting for you. However, you do not need to pay your Attorney for the pow er to be effective. Generally, payment is only made when a trust company or other professional person/organisation is acting as your Attorney.Should I have my Attorney prepare financial statements?You can require your Attorney to prepare periodical financial statements and send them to your accountant, lawyer or some other person you choose. This is a good deal of work, however, and most people do not require it of unpaid Attorneys.Note Attorneys should keep records of their actions.What are co-owned assets?If your Attorney is a family member, you may be joint owners of property. It is important to state this in your document, so that third parties dealing with your Attorney understand that the Attorney is entitled to co-own assets with you.

Governments have recognised the sanctity of the home and have extended increased protections to tenants by enacting laws ensuring a minimum set of rights for tenants. A Residential Tenancy Agreement cannot take away these basic tenant rights. The PartiesWho are the parties to the tenancy agreement?The parties to a tenancy agreement are the lessor, also called the landlord, and the lessee, also called the tenant. The lessor owns the property and allows the lessee to use the property in exchange for monetary payments called rent. Who is the landlords werber?The landlords agent may be anyone who looks after the property for the landlord. An agent may be the landlords friend, a landlords family member or a landlords real estate agent. Landlords are usually held responsible for their agents actions. What does ACN mean?Under the Corporations Act 2001, every company in Australia is issued with a unique, nine-digit number. This number is referred to as an Australian Company Number (ACN) and must be shown on a range of documents. The purpose of the ACN is to ensure adequate identification of companies when transacting business. New companies are issued with numbers by the Australian Securities Investments Commission (ASIC) upon registration. What are the landlords obligations?The landlords obligat ions are defined by the terms and conditions contained in the tenancy agreement and the laws specific to where the property is located. The most important obligations of the landlord include providing the tenant access to the property and allowing the tenant peaceful enjoyment of the property. The legal owner of the property also has obligations to maintain the property to minimum standards. What are the tenants obligations?The tenants obligations are defined by this tenancy agreement and the laws specific to where the property is located. The most important obligations of the tenant are to pay rent on time and not to cause damage to the premises.What if I dont know one anlasss anthroponym or contact information?A blank space will be provided in the form that can be filled in later if you are missing information about one of the parties. We recommend, however, that you attempt to make the contract as complete as possible, for greater certainty. Does the tenancy agreement specify any thing regarding the tenants conduct?Yes, the tenancy agreement specifies that the tenant must notify the landlord if repairs or maintenance are required notify the landlord of any damage or potential damage to the premises and notify the landlord if premises are to be vacant for more than 30 days.Additionally, the tenant must not maintain the premises in an unreasonably dirty condition cause or allow damage to the premises use the premises for any illegal purpose cause or permit a nuisance cause interference with the reasonable peace or privacy of another person within the vicinity and alter the premises without written consent of the landlord.What happens if I breach a term of the tenancy agreement?If you breach a term of the tenancy agreement you are responsible for correcting it. If you are the tenant, this may involve you paying money to fix any problems caused by yourself or your guests. If you do not voluntarily pay to correct the breach you can be sued for damages sustained a s a result of the breach and/or possibly evicted by the landlord.The PremisesWho can live in the premises?Only tenants and people listed as occupants may reside in the premises. The landlord must be informed and approve of any change to the list of permitted tenants. Children born or adopted while the tenant lives in the premises are automatically added to the tenancy agreement as occupants. Also, each jurisdiction may restrict the number of tenants/occupants in the premises if that number violates health or safety standards for housing. Health and safety standards are typically expressed as 1 person per X sq. metre. The standard varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction so if you are concerned, check with your local housing/public health authority. What is a basement suite and how does this differ from renting a room?Typically, letting a room or a basement suite means you are sharing an accommodation with the landlord. A basement suite is a self-contained dwelling unit complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and living area. Most tenants of a basement suite use a separate entrance to enter the house than the rest of the occupants. If you rent a room, you will likely share either the kitchen or bathroom with the landlord. What are body corporate bylaws?A body corporate is the group of all the owners of lots or units which share common property. The body corporate bylaws refer to the set of rules governing the internal management of those lots. The bylaws may specify rules relating to noise, parking, behaviour of guests, pets, garbage disposal and the use of common property. The bylaws are sometimes referred to as a Community Management Statement.Tenancy Agreement TermWhich tenancy agreement term should I use?LawDepot allows you to choose from 2 main types of tenancy agreement terms.Fixed End Date - A tenancy agreement with a fixed end date gives certainty of term for both the landlord and the tenant. It specifies the exact day the tenancy will end. The advanta ge here is that neither party has to give notice to terminate the tenancy agreement, it simply ends on the specified date. During a fixed term tenancy agreement the landlord cannot increase the rent, or change any other terms of the tenancy agreement unless he specifically reserves the right in the agreement, and the tenant agrees to the changes.Periodic - A periodic tenancy will continue so long as neither party wishes to terminate the tenancy agreement. To terminate the tenancy agreement the landlord and tenant must give notice of their intention to leave as specified by statute. A landlord can raise the rent, or change the terms of the tenancy agreement in these types of agreements by providing proper notice as required by statute. At the end of the notice period the tenant must move out or the landlord can start eviction proceedings against them.What happens when a tenant tries to terminate a fixed term tenancy?Typically when a tenant agrees to a fixed term tenancy, usually for either 6 months or 1 year, the tenant is agreeing to be responsible for the rent for that period of time. If the tenant vacates the premises prior to the end of the term of the agreement, the tenant will typically totenstill be responsible for payment of rent for the entire length of the lease (provided the tenancy is not in a jurisdiction that allows the tenant to give notice to prematurely end a fixed term tenancy). Typically, if the Landlord is able to re-rent the premises prior to the end of the lease of the breaching tenant, the breaching tenant is no longer required to pay rent as the landlord cannot collect double rent for the premises.In addition, some leases may contain penalty clauses whereby the tenant is required to pay re-rental fees to cover part of the cost of the landlord having to re-rent the premises. However, the amount of the re-rental fee has to be reasonable and must be a pre-estimate of the damages that the Landlord will suffer in having to re-rent the premise s early.What happens when the tenancy agreement term expires?The expiry of the tenancy agreement does not necessarily terminate the rental arrangement. If a Periodic term is selected, the tenancy agreement will automatically renew based on the same terms as the first tenancy agreement, unless it is varied by giving proper notice as required by statute. So a Periodic monthly tenancy agreement that continues for one year is actually 12 separate, automatically renewing tenancy agreements. The tenancy agreement will continue to renew automatically until one of the parties wishes to terminate the tenancy agreement (by giving proper notice as required by statute).If a Fixed term is selected, the leasing relationship may still continue after expiry if both the landlord and the tenant wish it to. In some jurisdictions, statute dictates that it will become a Periodic term tenancy agreement, usually of the month-to-month variety, though this may vary. In other jurisdictions, the Fixed term te nancy agreement may become a tenancy at will or a tenancy at sufferance when it expires, which lasts only as long as both parties wish it to, and is not subject to as much legal protection as a Periodic tenancy agreement. If you wish to terminate all rights under a Fixed term tenancy agreement as soon as the tenancy agreement expires, you must serve proper notice before the end of the tenancy agreement term, in accordance with local statute.RentDoes the landlord have to provide receipts for rent payments?Unless the rental payment is directly being deposited into the landlords account, the landlord must provide a receipt for the payment.Does the landlord have to keep any records of rental payments?Yes, the landlord must keep a written record of all rental payments. The record may be kept in electronic format. At the request of the tenant, the landlord must allow the tenant to view the record. The landlord may be fined a penalty of up $2,200.00 for failing to comply with these require ments.Can the landlord increase rent?Landlords can increase rent provided the landlord has provided specific terms in the tenancy agreement allowing for rent increases. The tenancy agreement must specify the amount of increase or the method of calculating the increase.Landlords can only increase the rent 6 months after the start of the tenancy or 6 months after the last increase. The landlord must provide at least 30 days notice in writing before increasing the rent.Can a tenant challenge a rent increase?If the tenant disagrees with the rent increase the tenant can apply to the Commissioner of Tenancies for a declaration stating the rent is excessive. The Commissioner will only grant such declarations in limited circumstances (e.g. if it is higher than the general level of rents for comparable premises or if the level of services available to the tenant have been reduced).NoticeHow much notice do I need to give to terminate a tenancy?In most jurisdictions, there is a minimum period of notice required by statute. The tenancy agreement can specify a notice period longer than the legal minimum, but it cannot specify a period shorter than the legal minimum. If it does, the legal minimum notice will still be required. You should consult the governing statute for these legal minimums as they will vary according to jurisdiction and the type and length of the tenancy agreement. What is notice to enter?A landlord usually does not have the right to enter a rented apartment suite unless there is an emergency, for example a fire or gas leak, or unless the landlord gives the tenant proper notice as defined by statute. So long as the proper notice is given, a tenant cannot refuse entry to a landlord. What should I do if I do not want to renew my tenancy agreement?You must provide proper notice to the landlord that you do not intend to renew the tenancy agreement, before the tenancy agreement expires. Notice must be given a certain amount of time before the tenancy agreement expires, as dictated by statute in your jurisdiction. This amount of time is called the notice period. Typically, the notice period is one month for leases with a term of one month or less, and two or three months for leases with a term of more than one month, but this will vary according to the jurisdiction. You should consult the governing statute for the jurisdiction the property is located in to find out the required notice period for your tenancy agreement. What is the minimum amount of notice to be given when terminating a tenancy?In Northern Territory, when a fixed term tenancy is about to come to an end, either party can give 14 days notice to end the tenancy. The notice can be served up to and including the last day of the fixed term. Notice must comply with section 101 of the Residential Tenancies Act.If a landlord wishes to terminate a periodic tenancy, the landlord must provide 42 days written notice in accordance with section 101 of the Residential Tenancies Act. If a tenant wishes to terminate a periodic tenancy, the tenant must provide 14 days written notice in accordance with section 101 of the Residential Tenancies Act.Bond and DepositsWhat is a bond/security deposit?A bond/security deposit is a sum of money the tenant pays to the landlord to guarantee that the tenant will fulfill all obligations under the tenancy agreement. The landlord holds the security deposit in trust for the term of the tenancy agreement to ensure that the tenant does not default on the terms of the tenancy agreement or otherwise damage the property. Should the tenant damage the property (normal wear and tear excluded) or if the Tenant has not paid rent, the landlord is entitled to recover the amount owing from the security deposit. Usually the tenant must provide the landlord with the security deposit at the start of the tenancy agreement term. At the end of the tenancy agreement term, the tenant will receive the deposit back minus any deductions for repairs/restoratio n.Please note in some jurisdictions, a landlord is not allowed to ask for a security deposit. In other jurisdictions, a landlord may require both a security deposit and other types of deposits (for example, a pet damage deposit). You should review the governing legislation for the location of the property to make sure the type of deposit is allowable. What is the maximum amount of bond/security deposit?In Northern Territory, the maximum security deposit that a landlord can ask for is the equivalent of four weeks rent. When a security deposit is paid by cash, cheque or credit card, the landlord must immediately give the tenant a receipt. When can the landlord deduct from the bond/security deposit?The landlord can deduct from the bond/security deposit when the tenancy ends and the tenant owes the landlord money for either unpaid rent or damage to the premises. The landlord generally cannot deduct for reasonable wear and tear on the premises, (i.e. wear and tear that occurs just from l iving in the premises). The landlord can deduct for stains on the carpet or countertops, large holes in the wall, and missing appliances and other such things that are beyond reasonable wear and tear. Condition ReportWhat is a condition report?Prior to moving in, the tenant and the landlord should walk through the premises and write down any existing damage. This written account is called a condition report. The landlord and tenant should both get a copy of this report. It is also a good idea to take photographs or a video of the condition of the premises. This will assist in interpretation of the a condition report if there is a dispute at the end of the tenancy.In some jurisdictions, a condition report is also required upon moving out, as a condition for the landlord to make a claim against the tenants security deposit/bond.Why do I need a condition report?A condition report will help to prove what damage was caused by the tenant for purposes of deducting the amount to fix the dam age from the bond. What needs to be considered when filling out a condition report?The following should be considered when filling out a condition report The landlord should provide the tenant with a copy of a completed and signed condition report within three days of the tenant taking possession of the premises. The condition report must be completed in the presence of the tenant (unless it is not practical to do so, or if the tenant does not appear at the agreed time). Within 5 business days of receiving the copy of the condition report the tenant can eitheraccept the report by signing and returning it to the landlord ormark any changes thought to be appropriate and return it to the landlord.If the tenant takes no action then they are deemed to have accepted the report. If a tenant modifies a condition report and gives it back to the landlord, the landlord may within 5 business daysaccept the report by initialing the modifications and returning a copy to the tenantreach an agreeme nt with the tenant as to the contents of the report and accept the report by having both parties initial all modifications that are accepted by them orapply to the Commissioner of Tenancies to resolve the problem.If the landlord takes no action within the 5 business days and the tenant doesnt apply to the Commissioner of Tenancies to resolve the problem, the landlord is taken to have accepted the condition report as modified by the tenant. Both the tenant and the landlord should keep a copy of the condition report in a safe place, as it will be used as conclusive evidence of the condition of the premises at the commencement of the tenancy.Additional TermsCan I add any additional terms to the tenancy agreement?You can add additional terms provided those new terms do not contradict the Residential Tenancies Act 1999. A landlord faces a penalty of up to $11 000.00 for attempting to exclude, modify or restrict the operation of the Act. Also, a tenancy agreement which is inconsistent wit h the Act is not valid with respect to those inconsistencies.MiscellaneousWhat is an assignment and how does it differ from a sublease?Assignments and subleases both occur when the tenant gives his/her rights under the tenancy agreement to a third party. A sublease or an assignment typically requires the consent of the landlord. An assignment occurs when the tenant gives to a third party all of his or her remaining rights under a tenancy agreement for the entire term of the tenancy agreement. If a tenant assigns property and the landlord consents to the assignment, that tenant no longer has any rights to the property nor any obligations to the landlord. In a sublease the tenant can transfer a portion of the leased space (e.g. a room in a house) or a portion of the tenancy (e.g. for 5 of the remaining 6 months of the tenancy agreement) to a third party. The original tenant retains whatever rights under the tenancy agreement he or she has that were not transferred to the third party, and also retains most of his or her obligations under the tenancy agreement. The original tenant can still sue and be sued by the landlord for lease violations. What are signing incentives?Signing incentives are bonuses the landlord gives to the tenant, typically for either signing a tenancy agreement or signing a fixed term tenancy agreement. They may include free months rent, or a rent decrease for the months of the fixed term tenancy. If the tenant breaches the tenancy agreement, these incentives may have to be paid back to the landlord. Why do tenants need insurance? Doesnt the landlord already have it?While the landlord typically has insurance, it usually covers only the landlords assets and liabilities. If you want coverage for your personal belongings or for your own negligence, you need to have renters insurance. What coverage you want should be discussed with an insurance agent.What is meant by the Act?The Act refers to the legislation governing residential tenancy agreeme nts in your jurisdiction. After you select the Location of Property when you are filling out the Tenancy Agreement Details, you will see a link beneath your selection to the governing legislation for the jurisdiction you have selected. It is not necessary to specifically state the name of the Act in your contract, as the relevant legislation is satisfactorily identified by the severability clause of your tenancy agreement. What does the clause other charges will be treated as rental arrears mean?Some rental contracts contain payments other than rental payments. For example the tenant may be required to pay utilities bills, or NSF charges, late fees or other charges.If these charges are not paid by the tenant, the landlord may treat these unpaid amounts as non-payments of rent and start eviction proceedings against the tenant for non-payment of rent. If this clause was not in the contract, the landlord could not treat a failure to pay these bills as a non-payment of rent and could no t start and eviction process as quickly (or at all in some cases).What happens if I sign a tenancy agreement but cannot move in or take possession?When you sign a tenancy agreement, you are promising under contract that you will pay rent to the landlord. This is a legal obligation that courts take seriously. You may be liable to the landlord for loss of revenue that the landlord suffers as a result of you not paying the rent, even if you have a good reason for not being able to take possession. In some situations it may be less costly for you to simply take possession and immediately serve notice that you will be vacating as soon as the notice period expires - it may sometimes be better to pay for one or two months rent than to go to court and be forced to pay more.Because this is a complicated situation, you may wish to contact a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction, especially if large sums of money are involved. You should inform your landlord immediately of the situation, so it cannot later be claimed that the landlord suffered losses as a result of not knowing that you were not going to move in. You may also wish to contact your local Residential Tenancies Board or government agency who oversees landlord/tenant disputes to find out the extent of your liability, which may or may not be limited by statute.

How to Answer Interview Questions Without a Right Answer

How to Answer Interview Questions Without a Right AnswerHow to Answer Interview Questions Without a Right AnswerThere are some interview questions that dont have a right or a wrong answer. Whats the best way to respond to them? Some of these questions can be tricky, and so the ideal response will depend upon the question and what the hiring manager is looking for. Here are some of the different types of interview questions without a right answer, with tips for giving the best responses. Types of Interview Questions Without a Right or Wrong Answer There are three different types of these interview questions Hypothetical questionsOpen-ended questionsBehavioral questions Hypothetical Interview Questions Hypotheticalquestions like, How would you calculate the amount of toilet paper required to span the state of New Jersey? are designed to reveal how you think and reason. There will be no correct answer, but interviewers will be evaluating the quality of your logical analysis. a bflug by asking questions to gather as much information as possible from the interviewer in order to clarify the problem. For instance, in the example above you might ask if they would like the measurement to be north to south or east to west. Then, share your thought process in addressing the problem. This might include describing how you would gather the information which you will need in order to make a calculation orsolve the problemas well as the actual method you would use for your calculation. For the example above, you might state that you would check with geographic resources on New Jersey to determine the length (or width) of the state in miles. After determining the length of the toilet tissue in the average roll, you would then convert the length of the state in miles to feet and divide that number by the average number of feet in a roll of toilet tissue to determine the number of rolls required to span the state. Open-Ended Interview Questions Open-ended questions l ike, Why should we hire you? or Describe yourself also have no right answer. You should capitalize on these opportunities by sharing your fruchtwein compelling assets with the employer. Prepare for open-ended questions by assessing the requirements for your target job.

These types of queries will often contain a lead phrase like, Give me an example of when you .... Basically, by asking these questions the interviewer is trying to ascertain how your past behavior in a difficult or challenging work situation might predict how you would react to pressured situations with their organization. Each candidate will answer differently based on their own experience. Though there will be no single right answer, the best possible answer will be one which clearly references specific instances where the behavior or skill was in evidence. The best approach is to Describe a situation or challeng e which you encounteredRelate how you intervened, referencing the skills or behavior in questionDescribe the outcome, emphasizing how you generated some positive result or outcome Of course, it will be hard to prepare in advance for all possible behavioral questions. However, if you analyze the requirements of your target job, you can anticipate many of the qualities that employers will targetwith behavioral questions qualities like resourcefulness, leadership, teamwork, creativity, or a strong work ethic. In addition, if you review each of your resume citations and think of your successes in each role and the strengths which enabled you to succeed, you will be ready to respond with specifics tomany behavioral questions.
