Renting retail space...slumlord!? -

I have rented my photography studio space from a man for about 3 years. It was a gross building when i rented it, but after putting about 5K into it, it s a nice place. I was not compensated in any way for these improvements, which is okay because I didn t ask for compensation. Last week the ceiling started leaking brown nasty water onto my backgrounds. It ruined one of them and damaged another. There is water damage on the floor and to the ceiling. (there are apartments up above). Also, the bathroom is growning black mold in the walls and now OUTSIDE the walls because something is going on with the pipes in there also. The smell is so overwhelming that you can t stand to use the restroom. My husband called the landlord to inform him of these issues and he told us... if you don t like it, you can get the f- - k out. He accused me of throwing pop around to create these stains and stated that he doesn t see a problem. Ooooookay. Here is the problem. My studio is in a town of about 1000 people, there IS nowhere else for me to go with my studio. It s either shut down or do something about the jacka- - I rent from. What are my legal options. I live in Iowa.

You have to put it in writing. Send your landlord a letter (NOT email) stating the problems and that you expect to have them fixed within a reasonable amount of time (which is up to a month). Keep a copy of this letter for legal purposes. If he does not respond within 30 days, go down to your town hall or city hall or wherever the city administration building is, and find the suitable office to complain to. It s against the law for your landlord to not fix something that s causing private nuisance and is so bad that it s against health code and building code. If not, take it to court. Most commercial tenancy cases in court do not require lawyers of any kind, just a small $100 or so processing fee for court. You will get to present your case, slumlord will be required to appear, etc. Be sure to have pictures to show the court. He is legally liable and responsible for the structural upkeep of the place and to ensure that it doesn t affect health code.

Do I need any type of license? -

I am planning to buy wholesale from different wholesalers and sell the merchandise on ebay to make a profit. I would like to know whether or not I need a business license or any other license to create a small business on ebay, and whether or not I need a business license to buy wholesale online. Thank you.

You might need a tax exemption permit from your state to avoid paying taxes on the stuff you buy and some states require the collection of sales tax on sales within your state. Talk to your local office for your state s Dept. of the Treasurer for an accurate answer.

You do not need a license to buy things from wholesalers online or on land. And I do not think you need any license to sell things on eBay either because most eBay sellers are amateur. Many of them are just one time sellers. To check for sure, contact your local City Hall.If you are a drop shipper (products ship directly to your customers from suppliers), you do not have much to worry about. However, if you import products from aboard, you may have to apply for a importer s account number as well as GST number (in Canada). You can have it done at the Custom.

If this is a business then I d say yes you need a proper registered and lic d business. The govts in many jurisdictions are cracking down on e-bay and other online sales so as to get their share of sales taxes and income taxes. There are publications and online info available from many govt tax depts that specifiy who needs to report their sales etc and pay what taxes and of course they also have lists of what products are exempt from their taxes.

Brainstorming Tips for Creating a Name:Any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party and/or may be trademarked so I wanted to go a different route...Here s a few things to keep in mind:1) Keep your industry, your clients/customers, your advertising plan in mind. 2) The more unique distinctive a name, the higher the chances that the name is legally available for use. And the higher the chances of obtaining the trademark.3) Think of your business as having a personality. What kind of image do you want your business to portray? Specific brainstorming tips:Think about what you want but more importantly, think about what you DON T want. If you don t want a 3-word name, don t bother with those. If you don t want non-English words, don t bother with those so on and so forth.What are the types of names you like? Think about words in their simple forms, e.g. adjectives, Latin roots, mythological names, etc. Compile a listing of the types then seek out resources, such as books or sites, which specialize in those types.Here are some links where you can do some preliminary name checking:http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.js�� �C Click Search Marks: USPTO �C Preliminary Search of Federal trademarkshttp://www.nameboy.com �C Domain name searchhttp://yellowpages.superpages.com/yp.adv�� �C National yellow pages; leave location blank to search nationwide However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what s out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free a great place to start, so I d try them out first. This entails searching the pending registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. Hope that helps! I wish you much success happiness in all your ventures!

It would help if we knew what age group you are trying to reach with your magazine? Think about currently published magazines: Those for teens have names that would imply as much. Those for adults are more specific to their content: Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Elle, People, etc... The name usually gives the subscriber or buyer an idea of what they might find inside the covers. So think about what your main focus will be (in your articles or photography) and what kind of audience you are trying to attract. Hope this helps you narrow it down! Best wishes
