      Wrongful (I hope) Termination

      :( Thanks, I am not surprised. Anything to be made of the fact that he submitted his application a year ago and they are just now doing this? I found his record on line in 5 min; it should have been easier for a US government HR person to find it than it was for me.

      developer wants an easement

      There is not set amount. Take no less than you would want for the inconvenience but try and get as much as you can. Does the developer have other equally easy options to get to the sewer?

      Buyer wants money for shed

      I am not a realtor or lawyer, but based on my experience buying and selling houses it seems like you have some choices: 1 Give the guy $2,000 and sell your house to him. 2 Say no.
