Can you be sued for back rent when there was never a lease and you were never evicted?
You can be sued for back rent even if there were no lease. Many tenants rent homes on oral leases, called month-to-month leases. As long as the landlors and the tenant come to an agreement that the landlord will let the tenant have the apartment for a certain amount of rent each month, it becomes a binding lease agreement even though there is no written lease. Even if a landlord let a tenant in without fully discussing rent and coming to a figure, you still could be sued for the reasonable value of the rental. This is called quantum meruit. The idea is that you certainly did not expect that you were going to live there for free; it's just that you didn't expect the rent to be as high as you were later told. That is why you can be sued bor rent but only an amount that is reasonable considering the size of the apartment and what similar rentals in the area are getting as opposed to what the landlord wants.
WHY Is a social security number qualitative?
It identifies you. It gives some information about the person. It is not a count or a total or an average, or any numeric kind of information. While it does have the word number in it, it is not counting anything. You never add social security numbers together, or get the average social security number or do any other such numerical calculation with them. You do that with quantitative data.
For 2012, the Social Security (FICA) deduction is 6.2%; the Medicare deduction is 1.45%, for a total of 7.65%. The employer pays the same percentages.
this amount is slightly more than a single person needs to live above the low-income level.

Is social security number required when buying a new car from dealer?
Only if you are borrowing money from them.
Some dealers will tell you it's for homeland security reasons and it's the "law" - even if you are paying with a cashier's check. That is nonsense. They want your SSN to do a credit check to see what your ability is to pay and how much so they can try to sell you a higher priced car. If they insist, demand that they cite the law. They won't be able to. Walk out and take your business to a dealer that does not employ liars.
Just ask!
What does a 9 mean when it is the first digit in an Social Security Number?
YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER: THE HIDDEN MEANING The seven-digit social security number (SSN) one needs as an employee has been around since 1935 since it was an identification number needed when becoming employed. As of 1988, all tax dependents age 2 need a SSN (Family Support Act of 1988, PL 100-485, Section 704). As of 1990, (Social Security for Newborns, January 1998, SSA 1.2:N42/998) parents can request a SSN for a newborn baby (20 CFR 422.103(a)). The SSN has seven digits: XXX (is the Area number)- XX (is the Group number) - XXXX (is the Serial number). The Area numbers are assigned to each State, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, the Railroad Retirement Board, and "Outside the United States". The Group number series were assigned (in blocks) to each of the States, and the Serial number represents a numerical series from 0001 to 9999. Your SSN is linked to your State of residence when you obtained your number. "Meaning of the Social Security Number" as found in the Social Security Bulletin v. 45, no. 11, November 1982, pages 29-30 (HE 3.3:45/11) provides interesting facts but the text needs updating. This is one of the better number systems designed by Uncle Sam. This 9-digit system has a capacity of nearly one billion numbers, as of November 1982; about 277 million numbers have been issued, leaving bout 75 percent still available. Note: SSN's beginning 800 - 999 were never issued are invaild SSN's.

How do you find military service number using social security number?
Presently, the social security number and the service number are the same, excepting that the US Air Force adds "FR" as a suffix. Depending on the specific branch, this started between 1969 and 1974. (Army and Air Force - July 1, 1969, Navy and Marine Corps - January 1, 1972, Coast Guard - October 1, 1974) Prior to the change, each service used a long number suffixed or prefixed by various codes. The only way to correlate the two numbers would be to have access to the personnel records. The old military service numbers are public record governed by the Freedom of Information Act. Social security numbers are protected by the Privacy Act of 1974. If you have the social security number and are seeking the military service number, you may be able to get it from the appropriate service branch fairly easily. The reverse would be much more difficult, even if you are the person in question.

describe the social and economic benefits of the construction industry in both mational and local terms
National economic benefits
The construction industry is vital to the UK economy which makes up about 10% of the county's GDP and has been a driver of GDP growth in this country.
There are about 3million jobs in the construction industry in the UK making up about 8% of the national workforce. Over 60% of these are lower skilled labourers with relatively limited alternative employment opportunities.
Nationally, the construction industry undertakes work on infrastructure projects such as motorways and railway upgrades, sports stadia (such as the Olympic stadium for 2012), and contributes through the tax system to the wealth of the UK economy.
Local economic benefits
Locally the construction Industry provides employment through projects, and creates a market for local plant and material suppliers and all of the ancillary service areas that are required such as waste skips. Local firms also employ apprentices in all trades many of who may go on to start their own companies, perpetuating the local skill market.
Social benefits (National)
By investing in construction you can help to reduce crime. For example by considering urban regeneration and constructing affordable housing with community centres you can breath life into a once run down area giving the people a sense of worth. European grant money is often available for this also. If you design and build an environment that is an attractive place to live then it will socially benefit that area as people then have a sense of belonging.
Social benefits (Local )
The success of a project can be greatly enhanced by getting the local community actively involved in the project. This alone could give a project a sustainability factor. A good example of this would be where a housing development was designed where cars are not allowed. Added value to a project could be done for example by providing ample car parking spaces when offices are closed on a Saturday to support the local retail market. Crime can also be reduced by installing CCTV and by also designing out black spots in regenerated areas. Security lighting and gated communities help to reduce crime also.

Historically, the American Dream is about bettering oneself: the right to "the pursuit of happiness". The belief that the American Dream means living on welfare or social security (living off of someone else's work) began only in the latter part of the 20th century; as did the belief that a right to the pursuit of happiness is the same thing as a "right" to happiness itself.

Drivers license without a social security number?
Unless you're in the US on a green card, and have an INS-issued number you can give in place of a Social Security number, it's not going to happen. If you refuse to give your SSAN, they refuse to grant you a licence.
