[Oddly enough, this was the most difficult letter. There aren't that many Y legal words.]
Yard – A piece of outdoor land,
generally adjoining residential property, which exists for the
use and enjoyment of the occupants of the property. If a tenant
rents a house, he is also entitled to the use of the yard unless the
rental agreement specifically states otherwise. This use, however,
does not extend to the establishment of a marijuana farm or meth lab.
Additionally, the tenant is generally required to maintain the
yard, meaning watering the grass, mowing the lawn, etc.
Approximately fifty percent of tenants residing in residential
properties with yards, do not maintain the yard. This is why most
savvy landlords pay for a gardening service and also pay the tenant's
water bill, in hopes the yard isn't left entirely to die.
Your Honor – The proper way to
address the judge in court. The phrase “with all due respect to
Your Honor”, is usually a clue for the judge to prepare himself for
a diatribe, because it is generally followed by the attorney telling
the judge he's an idiot, sometimes using that exact word. This may
or may not then be followed by the attorney paying sanctions for
contempt of court.
