Q. Can landlord post eviction court order in hall?
A: That definitely sounds out of line. Even if there’s an eviction happening, posting your full court order in a shared hallway with your name, rent info, and personal details isn’t normal or appropriate. It could be seen as a violation of your privacy or even harassment. Most leases don’t spell this out directly, but landlords still have to follow tenant protection laws, and this kind of behavior might cross a legal line. It’s worth speaking to a tenant rights attorney or a local housing organization to see what options you have and possibly send a warning to the landlord.

Q. Can I stay out of work due to wrist injury until surgeon reassessment on 8/18?
A: If your surgeon hasn’t cleared you to return to work yet and you're still in a cast with mobility issues, it’s completely reasonable to stay out until your next reassessment on 8/18—especially if going back now could risk reinjury. Since you're on workers' comp, just make sure your doctor puts that in writing and that your employer has a copy. As long as you’re following medical advice and keeping everyone updated, you should be fine staying out until then.
