What are your rights as a property owner?

Everything about rights in our modern society starts off simple (life, liberty, property) but quickly evolves into an intricate mess of overlapping social systems. The rights of a property owner are basically the rights of a person who has a deed. This sounds easy enough, but adds a whole new mess to the equation. Being a person that has never owned a property, I cannot say with confidence that I am aware of a property owner’s rights. But I would assume that if you are legally recognized as the holder of the deed, that you are given total control over the land and what happens to it as well as who may use it. You also must assume responsibility for certain aspects of the property that may be in violation of any administrative agencies or the city. There are rules and laws that you need to abide by and if you attempt to go against them you will have a harder time dealing with your day-to-day life, or possibly your landlord career. In Pacific Heights, the landlords became emotionally involved before completely examining the situation. Having a basic knowledge of the law, (or friends who do) is very crucial to avoid being screwed over by a combination of your own ignorance and other people’s malicious actions.

What My Classmates Think of the Legal System

“Because of the system of checks and balances, I believe that our legal system is great in doing the purpose it was created for.” (Ray Price http://bigdawgwebpages.blogspot.com/)

Ray’s statement concerning the checks and balances of our legal system, conflicts with my opinion because I believe that the ability to morally enforce actions in our society, is plagued by corruption and power abuse. I have to agree that it may be one of the best systems the world has to offer, but it runs much more smoothly on paper than it does in reality.

“Our legal system is very tricky and it tends to play with our emotions. It will make us feel protected until we really need it. Then sure enough, they’ll go and stab us right in the back.” ( Jaqueline Hernandez http://fashionvsstyle-jackie.blogspot.com/ )

I would have to agree with Jaqueline’s statement because it isn’t enough to just study the law in the books. You have to observe reality and see the flaws and the issues that arise because of the limitations that our legal system places upon some areas (1000 page health care bills), but not on others (The Patriot Act).

“In order to defend yourself in a court of law, you have to know all the ins and outs and loop holes there are or to get a good lawyer.” (Matthew James Gonzalez http://mjgproduction.blogspot.com/ )

This quote from Matthew is a great example of how tough and to the book our system will be when it comes to different classes of purchasing power. But when it comes to a senator or a secretary of state violating a statute, it becomes a mockery as our entire country fills to the brim with biased propaganda and distortion that most likely comes from a friend of a friend who owns Fox News.
