My best response is that you have raised many important issues that require extensive responses which are beyond the scope of the platform. The best thing to do is retain the services of an attorney who is familiar both with real estate law and probate law.

This is a complicated question which requires an examination of the organic documents of the HOA as well as a review of the history of the HOA in permitting outside displays. Are front door or outdoor terrace railing displays permitted by the HOA? Are flags permitted to be displayed for Flag Day?

The answer to your question requires knowledge of PR law. Therefore, I wouldsuggest you retain a NJ attorney who is either admitted to the PR Bar orhsas working experience with PR law. In NJ a simple deed is all that would be required assuming clear title.

If there is a written lease, review the lease to see what provisions are included in the lease concerning repairs. If there is no written lease, you have a valid argument that the floor repair is the landlord's responsibilty.
I asked the landlord to replace the floors and they said they wouldn’t until I moved from the apartment.
If there is a written lease, the obligation to repair should be governed by the terms of the lease. If no written lease, I believe since the flooring is part of the structure, the obligation to repair is on the landlord.
The property taxes are adjusted at time of settlement. The adjustment is based on a calendar year not on the the quarters are billed.
Yes you can set what limits you may want. The listing agent can accept them, negotiate a change, or refuse to be your listing agent.
They are now threatening to auction off the property! What are my rights? What is NJ law under these circumstances? This all came about due to request for vacation in order to build new house up to property line. Don’t we own the lot along with neighbour due to abandonment?

What is your question?
Is it legal for the owner to get in my business?
Your question is very unclear. In any event speak to your insurance broker for a response.
Sending the certified letter you suggested would not violate the “no contact” directive of the restraining order? He won’t pay for removal, I’m sure, so can My sister take him to small claims court without violating no contact directive?
Q. When are personal effects considered... Read more »
I was unaware of the "No Contact" order. So file a complaint in small claims for cost of removal. You can fo this pro se. Go to www.NJCourts.gov. The Claims Division may decide not to hear the matter as the appropriate Court would be the one that issued the 'No Contact' order... Read more »
