	CHAPTER L
		The law of 1790 had declared that if any one leased a piece of land, he could purchase it by paying a sum equivalent to twenty or twenty-five times the annual rent; and this condition was accepted by the peasants.
		Such a contract was as much tinged with feudalism as those that had served in centuries past to enslave the peasants; the Convention saw in it the mark of feudalism, and therefore it gave the land to the peasant who rented it, without asking any indemnity for it.
		Or it may be the farmer pays a ground rent which has nothing feudal about it, but beside this rent you have imposed on him a pledge or a tax or some kind of feudal due.

		On the other hand the qualities of the law of gravitation are imputed to certain legal principles which, under the name of the law of nature, are asserted to be binding all over the globe, so that no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this.
		Austin never fails to stigmatize the use of natural laws in the sense of scientific facts as improper, or as metaphorical.

	Clearing debt through bankruptcy will be harder - Apr. 20, 2005
		Under the new law, the court will apply living standards derived by the IRS to determine what is reasonable to pay for rent, food and other expenses to figure out how much you have available to pay your debts.
		First, it will be subject to a formula that exempts certain expenses (rent, food, etc.) to determine whether you can afford to pay 25 percent of your "nonpriority unsecured debt" such as your credit card bills.
		What that means for consumers is it will be harder to find a bankruptcy attorney willing to file because of the liability and the additional work required to verify a client's information, Elias said.

	State of New York vs. Enterprise Rent-A-Car
		Although in provision after provision of its rental contracts Enterprise disclaims the minimum protection that it is required to afford to its renters, it repeatedly swears to the contrary in its annual applications to the commissioner of motor vehicles for a certificate of self-insurance.
		When consumers who rent from Enterprise get into accidents with its automobiles, Enterprise vigorously enforces the terms of its contracts by steadfastly refusing to provide any defense or any liability coverage if the renter is sued by a third party.
		Enterprise's contractual provisions violate Vehicle and Traffic Law §§370 and 388, as well as the common law anti-subrogation rule, and are unconscionable.

	Reason magazine -- April 1994
		If the recent upheaval showcases the inability of rent control to respond to market forces and its effects on the replacement of housing stock, then something positive may be pulled from the rubble of the January 17 earthquake.
		But rents in residential buildings built before the law are based on what was charged in April 1978, plus annual adjustments characterized by urban designer and critic Sam Hall Kaplan as "miserly" (in recent years, they have averaged between 3 percent and 4 percent).
		By underscoring the anti-market economics of rent control and its inability to maintain or increase housing stock, the current crisis may prove to be a wake-up call for a city that is jokingly referred to (by supporters and detractors alike) as the "People's Republic of Santa Monica."
