Call ATT and add tethering to your iphone plan.

Barry-xlovecam · 10-19-2010, 03:08 PM

Is the internet a service to each condo owner by the HOA?

If so, and conditioned upon the payment of HOA dues;

Make a demand of the Landlord in writing certified mail return receipt NOW. Tell the Landlord in that letter that you will sue the landlord for breach of contract if the HOA dues are not paid in full with in 72 hours.

If his nonpayment of the HOA dues is not allowing you the full tenancy in the property ? sue him and motion that the Court establish an escrow for your rent to be paid to ? if you are paying rent into the court ordered escrow he cant evict for non-payment, then you turn the table and have him by the balls.

Non-payment of the HOA assessments creates a lien that the property can be foreclosed on.

Don't get stuck in the middle. You pay your rent money you are entitled to full use of the property and peaceful tenancy.

If you are unable to file a suit yourself, hire a local attorney make sure that you ask for court costs and attorney fees in your "Prayer for Relief" in the suit.

Not legal advice ? consult a local attorney.

Good advice there.

if you have a Blackberry, the tether.com app is what ya need.

Jakez · 10-19-2010, 03:24 PM

I have an iPhone 3g and unlimited plan, not sure if tethering works on it, I've tried before without much luck but that was a while ago.

Called Clear about their 4g service and they said it is available in my area but I will bounce around on the 3g and roaming for 3-4 weeks until the 4g coverage reaches me. Then when I gave them my address they said the system wont let them ship the equipment to it and it wouldnt let them ship to the other 2 I tried or a P.O. box either. Fucking Christ.

SuzzyQ · 10-19-2010, 03:26 PM

Just get an air card. Verizion, with unlimited BW costs 60bucks a month..

candyflip · 10-19-2010, 03:30 PM

Clearwire 4G is the same service as the Sprint 4G wireless I mentioned.

It really is a viable solution...ah, I guess not here.

Give Sprint a call.

Jakez · 10-19-2010, 03:32 PM

Ok I guess tethering is possible now on the iPhone but I haven't updated to the 4.0 software I'm still on 3.1 or something. So I'll have to just get to a computer with internet and update my phone so I can tether for the time being.

SuzzyQ, are you sure there's no monthly data usage limits on the air cards? Everything I looked up had some crazy restrictions like 5gb-17gb monthly.

Jakez · 10-19-2010, 03:41 PM

Can tethering be hooked up to my router so that I can have wireless throughtout the house?

Depending on your phone, you should be able to use the wifi on it in lieu of your router. Stacking a router atop of it will be double-NAT at best, and at worst, just won't be possible.

Jim_Gunn · 10-19-2010, 04:21 PM

I routinely tether my Windows laptop to my Android smartphone with the USB cable and a $10 app called EasyTether on Sprint's 3G network. It's essentially unlimited data plan is part of my approx. $89 after-tax cell plan. I do this all day, multiple days every week from shoot locations like I am at right now.

Verizon is better than either of those?

I have unlimited and VZ works everywhere.

VHNet · 10-19-2010, 07:19 PM

I deal with HOAs every day -- won't get into it.

Your landlord should have provided you with the rules of the HOA when you moved in -- otherwise you can get yourself into some crap like this without even knowing it.

What I would do is call your association president, or treasurer, explain the situation...and ask what can be done. You've obviously held up your end of the bargain, it's the person that owns the house that's fucking them.

NOTE: people on the HOA boards tend to HATE renters, and yes...they know every house that's being rented out. You get stuffed into a stereotype despite whether or not you fit it.

Get on the good side of the board president, treasurer...whomever...and you'll be back in business in no time.

VHNet · 10-19-2010, 07:20 PM

OH, and not paying association fees has much worse ramifications than just cutting off internet.

I'd get on your landlord's ass because they could start a world of shit if they wanted (The HOA, that is)

Jakez · 10-19-2010, 07:40 PM

VHNet, do you think they have their community internet service deal setup with Brighthouse and that's why they had my account disconnected so easily, or can they do this with any company I use?

Today I stuck an old white tennis shoe on top and replaced the sign with a placard that says 'Native North American Shoe Tree'. No pictures because it's actually pretty lame in execution.

If I don't get the police line tape in time, I got some crappy/generic plsatic 'CAUTION - DANGER' tape in a spoooky font. It can be a Zomtree.

You stole my words!!! Do some research on this property.

Happened to a nice family I know. They were renting and paying only to find out (by the bank notice) that the house was in foreclosure. The notice gave them 30 days to vacate.

I think these owners should face some type of charges...

Today I turned it into a pirate flag. Tomorrow, I'm going to put duct tape over the hole and change the pirate flag to a 'TREE OUT OF ORDER' sign.

I wish I had some 'police line' tape. I'd love to draw the outline of the tree and 'mark off' the front yard.

They really should not be able to impact your services for a lack of HOA being paid.. and depending on what/how it was signed - there is an amazing amount they can get away with.

That's awesome. Our garage door broke once and we replaced it (we were the second owners of the house) and it didn't exactly match the rest and we got a threatening letter saying we had to replace it or paint it.

I called and explained that the garage door had been broken and replaced. When they asked if it was replaced by me, I said no. Technically it was replaced by Home Depot.

They did threaten though to have someone just come paint it. They would show up to our house unbeknown to us and just start painting. Yeah, I can just see TheDoc now when that happens.
