President’s Perspective happy new year and hello 2016!

GUS VILLEGAS Merge Management • 2015-2016 AAA President

H

appy New Year and HELLO 2016! This is the year that you turn it all around. This is the year you stop listening to the voices in your head that keep telling you that you can’t do something; keep telling you that you’re not good enough; keep telling you to keep coasting through life.

It’s not easy, but once you make the choice to take the road less-traveled, (in whatever form that may be), the next step is just to show up! Take that class that you’ve wanted to take for as long as you can remember, pick up that instrument that intimidated you. Consider learning it. Show up at the gym, show up at the track, show up to that volunteer meeting that you’ve been waiting to take part in; just show up.

As difficult as that may be for some, it will get even more difficult as you do things that challenge you and take you out of your comfort zone. The easy way will always be there waiting for you, but once you make the decision to make yourself better, you may never want to go back. I have always believed that there is an undervalued benefit that comes from putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation. Eventually, those situations become less intimidating but it takes a conscious effort to commit to making this a reality.

This year, commit to making yourself better - in whatever form that may be and remember that when the dust settles, you’ll come out stronger than you were before. And I assure you that the dust will settle; it always does. A Nike commercial once commanded, “Drown out the voice of uncertainty with the sound of your own heartbeat.” That’s as deep and philosophical as I hope a Nike commercial ever gets, but it’s motivating and memorable to say the least!

Goals are important, and we continue to set ambitious ones in our local association, and part of the reason is that we have volunteers who continue to show up and take an active role in making sure this association is in better shape year after year without preconceived notions of what the association can do for them.

2015 was a busy year to say the least, but as an organization we have never lost track of making sure that we’re constantly giving back in any way that we can to our community. Most recently we utilized the funds raised throughout the second half of the year during various fundraising efforts for our annual Doc and Gayle Young Food Drive. We helped provide enough meals to feed over 1,350 families during Thanksgiving here in Austin. Huge thanks are in order to everyone who donated and/or helped out on delivery day. It was a long day but it always seems to go by quicker when you’re surrounded by passionate individuals and this event has its fair share of them. In addition our members are committed to helping Mayor Steve Adler’s vision to end veteran homelessness in our community and we continue to make progress on this front.

I’m halfway through my term now, and it honestly feels like June was just a few weeks ago. I have a few goals that I hope come to fruition for this association, but

accomplishing them will not come without a little bit of hard work. I’m surrounded by individuals dedicated to doing what is best for the Austin Apartment Association, and in the end they help by serving as a compass, pointing the direction we need to go.

Happy New Year once again, and I hope you take full advantage of any opportunity that comes your way in the upcoming year!

PAUL CAUDURO AAA Director of Government Relations

Construction Debris Recycling Requirements Begin in 2016 Beginning October 2016 multifamily construction sites will be required to recycle at least fifty percent of the left over construction materials and related waste generated at the site. These recycling requirements will increase to seventy-five percent in year 2020 and ultimately ratchet to ninety-five percent by year 2030.

The recycling requirement will be applied to all residential and non-residential construction projects larger than 5,000 square feet. This requirement threshold also applies to apartment unit rehab or remodeling which means construction waste recycling will be required only when the cumulative total rehab or remodeling work exceeds 5,000 square feet. According to the City of Austin, about 1,500 projects in excess of 5,000 square feet received city permits in the 2014-15 budget year and these projects generated an estimated 152,000 tons of material.

Because state-by-state definitions differ on what constitutes “recycling,” national figures for recycling construction and demolition materials are difficult to obtain, but recycling requirements like the one passed by the City of Austin are commonplace in many rapidly growing metropolitan areas.

These ordnances take aim at the familiar materials found in the waste stream which include wood, estimated to be 27% of total, and the remaining 73% consisting of cardboard and paper, drywall/plaster, insulation, siding, roofing, metal, plastic, pipe, concrete, asphalt, masonry, bricks, dirt and

landscaping material.

The City of Austin believes that least 20 percent of all waste in the city is comprised of construction and demolition materials.

Early drafts of the ordinance called for the fifty-percent recycling mandate to apply to both construction waste and demolition debris, but the Austin Apartment Association and other stakeholders requested that this requirement be delayed because the market for demolition debris is not robust enough to absorb all of the demolition material generated. In three years the City will study how the ordinance is working and will decided whether or not to include demolition debris in the recycling mandate while at the same time decide if the recycling requirement should be moved to seventy-five percent. Also slated to move in year 2020 is the project size threshold for compliance when all projects 1,000 square feet or larger must meet the recycling requirements.

The cost impact to the industry is somewhat uncertain. Using the City’s estimates, the ordinance could increase construction costs by only 0.1 to 0.2 percent under the assumption that processing materials at a recycling facility instead of disposing of them at the landfill adds a penny per pound of material hauled. One staffer pegs the cost to multifamily construction at an extra $20 per ton of hauled material, which adds between 5 and 18 cents per square foot when building a new multifamily structure.

Waste haulers that service multifamily construction sites concur that, due to factors

involving access to local landfills and material processing facilities, currently there is relatively small price difference between hauling construction debris to the landfill and hauling that same co-mingled waster to a recycling facility. While it is not known how long this narrow cost difference will remain, large price breaks and cost reductions can be quickly found if the waste hauled from a site is clean loads of wood, metal and concrete not co-mingled thereby creating an incentive to begin the recycling process at the site and move away from the business as usual approach of co-mingling materials.

To show compliance with the ordinance projects will be required to submit a report, (typically completed by the waste hauler), identifying the quantity of materials diverted and disposed. Sites that do not comply with the ordinance could face a Class C misdemeanor and a fine of up to $500.

There are several Austin Apartment Association members who perform waste hauling and recycling services and you are strongly encourage to discuss your waste hauling plans and options with them to ensure full compliance with the ordinance that goes into effect beginning October 1, 2016.

You are also encouraged to contact AAA staff as the cost impacts and other unforeseen issues related to the ordnance become known so that any concerns and/or needed changes can be communicated to policy leaders.

INDUSTRY UPDATE

Industry Update

Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance Being Drafted Planning and legal staff at the City of Austin staff have been directed draft an ordinance that would establish “tenant relocation assistance requirements” for developers that intend to demolish multifamily properties that would result in the displacement of current tenants.

Citing how the “destabilizing repercussions of displacement affect many of the most vulnerable members of our community” the Council established some context for the ordinance by asking for a draft that requires developers

to provide at least six months advance notice to tenants of the final move-out date; allows flexible move-out dates to tenants within the six months after the final move-out date notice is given; and requires property owners to provide relocation and moving stipends to tenants.

The draft is expected to be completed

by February 2016 and once completed the stakeholder process will include two public meetings to solicit input from tenants and the development community and a public hearing before the Planning

www.austinaptassoc.com

Commission.

AAA member input on this topic is needed. Property owners and developers commonly implement their own relocation policies when needed, and examples of these policies and industry practices is important information for the stakeholder process. If you have questions, need additional information or want to share your relocation assistance example call the AAA at (512)323-0990 or email the paul@austinaptassoc.com

Donation makes creation of AAA Education Foundation possible

R

ich Ellmer, the 12th President of the Austin Apartment Association in 1975, remembers a time when the AAA was not as financially stable as it is today. As President of a young association he recalls a very tight budget, one part-time employee, and that most income was generated from monthly dinner meeting fees. (The only other significant source of income was lease sales, but most leases sold by the association were often pirated, which did nothing for the association coffers.)

Rich clearly remembers one financial report to the board in which the checkbook balance was a paltry $1,900 - $200 better than the checkbook balance for one year prior. The majority of the members in 1975 were apartment communities renting to UT students and state employees. Today, our members provide housing to over one half of the residents of Austin.

when we work together.

Members working together in the legislative arena, in particular, help minimize burdensome regulations and fees, therefore reducing costs to owners.

As a member of the association for over 40 years, Rich is paying it forward to the association and industry that has been so very good to him and his company, by donating a generous sum to the Austin Apartment Association’s newly-created Education Foundation

As a member of the association for over 40 years, Rich is paying it forward to the association and industry that has been so very good to him and his company, by donating a generous sum to the Austin Apartment Association’s newlycreated Education Foundation, a 501 c 3 organization exclusively for educational and charitable purposes for the rental housing industry in the 11 central Texas counties the Austin Apartment Association serves.

Rich’s philosophy of the association is very simple: we can grow and be much more productive as an industry www.austinaptassoc.com

THANK YOU, RICH ELLMER

thank you, rich ellmer, for paying it forward

Prior to becoming President, Rich was a property owner member who realized the benefit of involvement through the exchange of ideas with his peers. Such networking allowed Rich to broaden his knowledge of the industry and develop best practices for his own company’s operations, however, networking is vital to all members as it can definitely improve a company’s value and employee personal and professional growth.

Rich believes educational offerings through our industry association are by far the best in Austin compared to what other industries offer. Our industry may very well create more service industry businesses than any other industry in Austin. Few other industries have members – most without college degrees – who have started, own and run their own companies. No other industry educates and promotes from within as we do, or encourage professional development to the extent the rental housing industry does.

We are unique in a way unlike other associations.

His gift ensures many generations of future employees are well-educated and the multifamily rental housing industry remains a strong and successful one. On behalf of our future members, we thank you, Rich.

Feeds 2015 1,350 Doc & Gayle Families at Young Food Thanksgiving Drive

O I

n 2015, the Doc & Gayle Young Food Drive surpassed the committee’s $50,000 goal and raised over $52,000 to purchase 1,350 food packs for hungry local families. Each food pack contains enough food to feed a family of five their Thanksgiving meal and for a few days after that.

Once again the Turkey and Ham teams showed their competitive stripes. The Turkeys reclaimed the crown in 2015 by raising over $14,660 vs. the Hams and their $11,216. A great effort by both teams. The competition next year for our 30th annual food drive is going to be fierce!

The Food Drive crew partnered with HEB to purchase over 34 tons of food again this year. HEB employees assembled 1,350 food packs and loaded them onto volunteer delivery trucks from CORT, HD Supply, Maintenance Supply HQ, Pro Valet Trash and Two Men and a Truck. The benefiting agencies this year were: Foundation Communities, The Housing Authority of the City of Austin, SafePlace, and The Rainbow Room. Families receiving the food packs were chosen by these four agencies.

The great minds of the Food Drive Committee organized two happy hours (one South and one North), and a BBQ Plate Benefit, in addition to the numerous phone calls, emails, and letters asking AAA members to donate to this year’s drive.

The South happy hour at Moontower Saloon and the North happy hour at Maverick’s raised an astonishing $10,252 through donations at the door and two silent auctions. Lunches with AAA Leadership sold in the silent auctions once again proved to be very lucrative.

Football and basketball tickets, jewelry, getaway weekend packages…and of course “booze baskets”… were all a hit in the bidding wars.

Clocking another winning year was the BBQ Plate Benefit. The committee sold 329 plates and 39 meal deals, raising a total of $14,685. On a Thursday in October, committee members met before sunrise to assemble plates and deliver all the orders. The delicious barbecue was expertly smoked by the Smokin’ Barrels team (i.e. Travis Fowler and friends), and the sides were provided complements of Rudy’s B-B-Q. Thank you to everyone who helped out.

Congratulations to the entire 2015 Doc & Gayle Young Food Drive committee, who spent countless hours volunteering their time. Special thanks to the three chairs: Stephanie Naylor, Kim McGregor and Ben Wells. Also, thank you to the companies who hosted the two happy hours. Thank you to everyone who donated their time and money to make this year’s Food Drive another great success. See you for our 30 th food drive year in 2016!

16 QUESTIONS FOR MANAGERS

questions for managers

W

elcome to the first installment of a new feature in the Window magazine called, “16 Questions for Managers.” We begin by asking our questions of Erika Santa, Community Manager for Merge Management at Clarewood Apartment.

1. Property name & management company? Clarewood Apartments, Merge Management

13. What’s the most bizarre or best thing you’ve heard from a resident? “I can’t find my snake!”

2. Does your property have a nickname?

C-Dub

14. What is your favorite AAA event/ function? The Talent Show is always fun!

3. How many units? 142 4. How many people work on your property? Four, but in the summer it seems like 20!

5. What’s the best feature of your property? Mature trees and great floorplans!

15. Which AAA committees have you joined or been a part of/would like to join? I can see myself getting involved in the Legislative Committee. That aspect of our business interests me. I just wish the meetings could come to me.

16. Who is a role model you look up to and why? Gus, because he works just as hard as anyone. I haven’t come across too many people in the supervisory role willing to sweat with the team. I’m not just saying that because he’s my supervisor, either.

Are you a manager and want to answer our 16 Questions? Contact Jennifer at Jennifer@austinaptassoc.com.

6. Where’s the best place to grab lunch around your property? Herbert’s taco Hut, Jason’s Deli or Freebirds. Cane›s for the carnivores.

7. Favorite breakfast taco joint? Palm Café, and we’ve tried a lot.

8. What recent improvements have been made (in units or externally)? We recently re-plastered our pool and replaced the coping with tile that looks less “1980s” than the original!

9. Which COMP is your favorite? I’d have to say Autumn Chase.

Austin’s Universal Recycling Ordinance requires that apartments with 10 or more units provide convenient access to recycling for their employees and tenants. Find out if you’re in compliance before the Feb. 1 reporting deadline.

10. What’s the best thing about your location? Clarewood is close to EVERYTHING in town: campus, shopping and yummies to start with.

11. What is your favorite resident event/ function? I enjoy feeding people.

12. What are your busiest hours? Spring and summer. All of it.

is your property required to recycle Find out about Austin’s Universal Recycling Ordinance

The City of Austin’s Universal Recycling Ordinance (URO) went into effect in 2012 with the ambitious goal of ensuring that all Austinites have access to recycling where they live and work.

Nearly 75 percent of Austin’s trash and recycling comes from commercial and multifamily properties. The ordinance is a key component in the City’s strategy to achieve our Zero Waste goal of reducing the amount of trash sent to landfills by 90 percent by 2040. The ordinance includes a four year phase-in affecting the largest properties first.

The ordinance establishes minimum recycling standards for multifamily and commercial properties to ensure convenient recycling is available to employees and tenants. As of Oct. 1, 2015, all multifamily properties with 10 or more dwelling units must ensure recycling is available and by Oct. 1, 2017, all commercial properties in Austin will be required to have recycling available.

Austin’s commitment to Zero Waste goal is designed to reduce the City’s dependence on expensive landfills, decrease harmful greenhouse gasses and generate new jobs in our community. By recycling more, businesses may be able to reduce the number or size of landfill trash containers or need less frequent collection. Many affected properties have reported a cost savings by adding recycling and optimizing their collection services.

To comply with the ordinance, affected properties are required to have convenient access to recycling and must offer collection of the following five materials, at a minimum: • Mixed paper • Cardboard • Glass bottles and jars •#1 and #2 plastic containers • Aluminum

In addition to the materials collected, property owners must also provide the following: • Sufficient recycling capacity (dependent upon property type) ° Multifamily Apartments = more than 6.4 gallons of recycling capacity per week ° Commercial Buildings = at least a one-to-one ratio of recycling to trash capacity • Information and signs in English and Spanish • Annual education for tenants and employees • Completion of the online Annual Diversion Plan between Oct. 1 and Feb. 1 each year Resources and incentives to make compliance easier The City’s Zero Waste Business Rebate provides a financial incentive to encourage businesses to exceed minimum recycling standards or establish recycling programs before their property is affected by the Universal Recycling Ordinance.

Rebates up to $1,800 are available to help Austin businesses establish, expand or improve recycling programs.

With a simplified application process, businesses can apply with a simple phone call. The rebate supports the Austin business community in meeting the requirements of the Universal Recycling Ordinance and implementing best practices resulting in costs savings for the business and substantial progress towards Zero Waste.

Last year, 22 Austin businesses participated in the rebate program and received more than $28,100 for contracting for expanded recycling or composting collection services, purchasing recycling or composting containers and other projects to encourage more diversion from the landfill.

“The Austin business community is working hard to recycle. This rebate helps support creative and innovative solutions to keep materials out of area landfills,” said Aiden Cohen.

www.austinaptassoc.com

Austin Resource Recovery’s Commercial Recycling team can help with onsite technical assessments and training. There are also numerous free educational resources and downloads available at: AustinTexas.gov/URO Downloadable resources include: • Training materials for employees and tenants • Sample letters to tenants, • Downloadable signs (in seven languages) • Tip sheets by industry For the multitasking manager, Austin Resource Recovery offers free in person trainings along with networking opportunities and one-on-one assistance.

The next series of training sessions will begin in mid-January 2016. Get more information and sign up for your favorite Austin restaurant at AustinTexas.gov/URO. Compliance is mandatory Property managers and owners that do not make good faith efforts to comply with the ordinance will be referred to the Austin Code Department for enforcement.

Failure to comply with the Universal Recycling Ordinance is a Class “C” misdemeanor and is punishable by fines of up to $2,000 per day, per violation.

Property managers and businesses are encouraged to avoid a visit by Austin Code officers by taking advantage of the many free resources provided by Austin Resource Recovery.

“A lot of multifamily properties are already doing a great job providing convenient recycling opportunities for their tenants.” said Cohen, “As the URO expands to include all apartments and commercial properties in 2017, ARR’s Business Outreach Team will be here to help owners and managers that need technical help taking their recycling programs to the next level.”

Learn more about the Universal Recycling Ordinance at austintexas.gov/ URO. Apply for the Zero Waste Business Rebate by calling (512) 974-9727 or emailing ARR’s Business Outreach Team at Commercialrecycling@austintexas.gov.

TAA

TAA’S 2016-17 REDBOOK, SEMINARS AND WEBINARS PROVIDE CRITICAL LEGAL UPDATES AND GUIDANCE

32

Q

uestions are inevitable. What you need are answers. The 2016-2017 TAA REDBOOK, REDBOOK Online and “Apartment and Rental Housing Legal Seminars” offer the resources and guidance you need for common management issues.

The only comprehensive guide for rental housing owners and managers in the state, the printed version of the REDBOOK will be available in early February from your local association.

This edition includes 850+ pages of state statutes, regulatory agency rules, legal commentary, sample management and eviction suit forms, updated legal articles and copies of TAA leases and lease-related forms.

Content in the printed and online versions of the book is organized to help you fi nd the information you need quickly and easily.

REDBOOK Online

To keep the size of the book manageable, while still adding important new and revised content, TAA offers additional articles and other content in the REDBOOK Online, including bonus content not available in the printed book.

The REDBOOK Online is a mobilefriendly site that offers you access to the legal content you trust 24/7 from wherever you are, including from your mobile device. Users of TAA’s lease forms programs have automatic access to the REDBOOK Online, or subscriptions are $50 plus tax per year. Visit www.taa.org for more information. New content for this cycle will be available in the REDBOOK Online by mid-January.

REDBOOK seminars and webinars

Sharpen your knowledge of your legal rights and responsibilities as a rental housing owner or manager by participating in one of the REDBOOK seminars or webinars being offered around the state and online.

The in-person “Apartment and Rental Housing Legal Seminars” are once again being offered in two different formats: (1) a full-day intensive seminar covering legal, leasing and liability issues from the perspective of onsite apartment managers, assistant managers and leasing agents; or (2) a full-day seminar with an option to register for the complete day or just the afternoon “update” information (new information since the last REDBOOK).

Local associations choose the format that best suits their members.

Seminars emphasize changes in management practices required by new laws passed during the last legislative session and updates on key regulatory issues that affect property management.

These full-day seminars will: • Uncover hidden treasures in the new REDBOOK. Experienced attorneys will review basic leasing, eviction and other elemental aspects of managing rental property.

• Review what has changed in the new REDBOOK regarding guidance for the operation and maintenance of rental properties, including new notice to vacate and appeal bond options.

• Review the most often used and important TAA lease forms and highlight changes in the 2016 leases and related forms so you’ll learn more about what they mean to you operationally.

• Provide an in-depth explanation of all federal and state statutory and regulatory changes since the last

REDBOOK revision that affect rental property ownership and management.

With ample opportunity for questions and answers, this discussion will provide details about what members need to know regarding law changes addressed in the new REDBOOK. • Cover laws that experienced practitioners need to understand and discuss laws that you probably have never heard of but that can cause you problems if you don’t know about them.

• Explore issues on the horizon that we may have to address as an association, including adverse local ordinances.

The afternoon portion will focus on the last three items listed above.

Up to seven hours of MCE (Mandatory Continuing Education) credits from the Texas Real Estate Commission are pending approval.

Up to seven hours of NAA continuing education credits will be available.

Some seminars sponsored exclusively by local associations may not offer all forms of continuing education credits.

“Apartment and Rental Housing Legal Webinars” feature the same content as the in-person programs, with the convenience of web-based delivery. Each webinar will include four individual sessions of no more than two hours in length.

AAA delegate Dwayne Stewart was one of the twelve members in the TAA Leadership Lyceum class which focused on planning, education, communications and community service.

law in order: the warren report

when the working day is done, we all just want to have fun!

W

WILLIAM S. WARREN Warren Law Firm

e can choose from lawyer jokes, crazy quotations from courtroom scenes, and even some crazy laws themselves. In this article, we will take from each of those sources and, hopefully, leave you in a good mood. Pharrell Williams isn’t the only one entitled to be happy. It’s like Cyndi Lauper says, girls they want to have fun. Oh girls just want to have fun! So do guys, Cyndi. So do guys. And lawyers do too.

Happy New Year!

2016 is here, and it’s time to have some fun. Yes, believe it or not, the law can be fun.

www.austinaptassoc.com

A good beginning is a discussion of some questionable laws. They can be found in every state and country. They can make you laugh, make you cry, or just make you scratch your head.

Did you know, for example, that in the state of Kansas, every legislator, public officer, and lawyer must take an oath stating they have not fought a duel with deadly weapons? I knew there was a reason why I did not take the Kansas bar exam.

We mentioned a couple of songs. Beware, however, where you wear your dancing shoes. In the state of Massachusetts, for example, you may pay a fine of no more than $100 if you are found dancing (at all) to the “Star-Spangled Banner.”

The state of South Carolina has an interesting law on its books. There, a male over the age of 16 can’t seduce Windows • january/february 2016 35

LAW IN ORDER

In Ohio, it is against state law to get a fish drunk.

a woman by falsely promising to marry her. If he is found guilty, he will be charged with a misdemeanor, fined at the court’s discretion, or imprisoned for no longer than one year. Fortunately, depending on your point of view, there are a decent number of exceptions. For example, if the woman who received the promise was already married, or considered “lewd,” (a term which the South Carolina law does not define), the court cannot convict the male of the misdemeanor. In addition, the offender usually walks if no one can corroborate the woman’s testimony.

By the time you are reading this Warren Report: Law in Order, this season’s college football champion for the year recently may have been crowned, and it may have been the Alabama Crimson Tide. Fortunately for the celebratory parade, (if in fact Alabama is our new national champion), it is illegal for a driver in Alabama to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle. Even if the vehicle is a parade float. Seriously.

Ohio laws, I suppose, are a bit more practical. In Ohio, it is against state law to get a fish drunk. That’s right, you can get drunk while you fish; but don’t you dare get a fish drunk. Does anyone know how that would be done, if one were so inclined?

Perhaps fishing is not your thing.

Why not try parachuting? Be careful, however, for unmarried women in Florida who parachute on Sundays can be jailed.

Here is another law which seems to be stacked against women. In the state of Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth. You have to ask yourself, on what grounds would a husband object to the wearing of false teeth by his wife?

Now I know why I do not practice law in the state of Vermont. I can honestly say that in all my years of practicing law in Texas, no one has ever asked me to draft a document granting permission to wear false teeth. Thank you, clients.

Thank you.

Windows • january/february 2016

Those of you who have been following the evolution of concealed [gun] carry laws in Texas might find it interesting to compare such laws from the Lone Star State with those of Kentucky. In the state of Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon which is more than six feet long.

Texas has no such restriction. Where, however, does one find a holster of that length? Prepare to be on your feet a lot too, for sitting with a holstered gun of that length may be challenging and quite uncomfortable.

Getting a bit more local, have you been following the legal challenges to Uber, (the almost taxi company), in the City of Austin? I am not sure, but I do not think Uber is available as a transportation source in London, England. That’s too bad. In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague. The way Uber is set up, there is no flagging down. For this reason, I think an Uber franchise in London might be quite successful, assuming the plague is still a problem in Big Smoke! www.austinaptassoc.com

Q: She had three children, right?

A: Yes. Q: How many were boys?

A: None.

Q: Were there any girls?

Maybe that one is an inside joke.

Maybe you have to ask questions for a living for that to be funny. What about this exchange: Q: What is your date of birth?

A: July Fifteenth.

Q: What year?

A: Every year.

You might be asking yourself at this point, “Is this stuff supposed to be funny”? Be careful with your questions when speaking with some lawyers. Here is a true (although quite short) story: A new client had just come in to see a famous lawyer.

“Can you tell me how much you charge?” asked the client.

“Of course,” the lawyer replied, “I charge $200 to answer three questions!”

“Well that’s a bit steep, isn’t it?

“Yes it is,” said the lawyer, “and what’s your third question?”

I think I’m beginning to understand what it’s like to be a comedian who tells a joke yet gets no laughter. Let me go back to Old Faithful, the actual laws themselves.

In the state of West Virginia, do not attempt to substitute a ferret for a hunting dog. Anyone who hunts, catches, takes, kills, injures, or pursues a wild animal or bird with a ferret will face a fine of no less than $100, but no more than $500. Jailing is possible with that crime as well. You can be jailed for between 10 and 100 days if your ferret hunts with you while your dog stays home. Be sure your glasses are clean when you leave the house.

I looked for unique landlord-tenant laws. Many of you will argue that we have several in the state of Texas.

In the state of New York, however, I found that it is unlawful for three or more people wearing masks to gather in public for a demonstration or to march in protest. This law was originally enacted in 1845, as a result of a situation where local tenant farmers disguised themselves as Native Americans and attacked and killed their landlords. Fortunately for New Yorkers, this law includes exceptions for masquerade parties.

Have you ever known of a fashion conscious law? If not, you have not been to Flint, Michigan lately. In 2008, Flint Chief of Police David Dicks made headlines when he ordered his department to arrest anybody wearing “saggy pants.” Despite successful challenges to similar laws in other cities like Riviera Beach, Florida (its local ordinance was declared unconstitutional by the Florida state courts), the Flint, Michigan law is still in effect. Offenders there can face up to one year in jail. Belt anyone?

Not all the weird laws are in the United States. Saudi Arabia, for example, is the only country that bans women from driving. News media there have complained how the prohibition forces families to hire live-in drivers.

Those who cannot afford to spend the $300 or more a month for a driver must rely on male relatives to drive them to work, school, shopping or the doctor.

Is there an Uber nearby?

Looking for a law you can use when having a criminal background check conducted on one of your applicants?

If your rental property is located in Cuba, articles 72 through 90 of the Cuban Penal Code address the crime of peligrosidad (English translation, “dangerousness”).

These Penal Code provisions, under the heading, “The Dangerous Status and Security Measures,” call for someone to be sentenced for up to four years in prison on the grounds that the authorities believe the individual has a “special proclivity” to commit crimes, even though he or she might not actually have committed a crime! How’s that for justice? According to Aristotle, “Law is order, and good law is good order.” Is bad law, then, disorder?

banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission? According to a statement issued by The State Administration for Religious Affairs in 2007, the law, which strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is “an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation.”

With 2016 being an election year, do we know what our candidates are saying about institutionalizing the management of reincarnation? Isn’t that something you, as a voter, would want to know?

LAW IN ORDER

Okay, let’s switch gears here. I promised you some outtakes from courtroom proceedings where lawyers ask questions and witnesses give answers. Consider this actual exchange between a lawyer and a witness:

You may be thinking that too much negativity is involved with some of these laws. Well then, let’s end on a high note with a delightful law from the country of Denmark. There, hospitality is king. In Danish restaurants, you do not have to pay for your food unless, in your own opinion, you are “full” at the end of your meal. If not, you can legally leave the restaurant without paying the bill at all.

Houston, Detroit, Cleveland, Memphis and Tampa are not located in the country of Denmark, but rather are in the United States. According to Men’s Fitness magazine, those five cities are the “fattest cities” in America.

Having previously lived in Houston, I can say that it is quite challenging to find a Danish restaurant in that city!

Now I think I may know why.

I may be a week or so late on making a toast to happiness in 2016.

That’s too bad. Better late than never, right? So, for each of you, may every day be happier than the last! May you look forward with happiness, and backward without regret. And to quote an anonymous partygoer from a recent New Year’s Eve party, “here’s to a merry, dancing, drinking, laughing, quaffing, and unthinking time!”

May all of you, in 2016 and beyond, encounter Law In Order. All the best!
