My 10 year old son waa riding his bike on the sidewalk and accidentally bumped into a woman. The woman fell and scraped her elbow. My son got scared and left his bike and ran home. A few minutes later, I arrived at the scene and the woman's husband immediately began threatening to sue me. The... Read more »
In theory you can be sued. Anyone can sue anyone. If you are, send it to your insurance company. If you have no insurance, you will likely not be sued.
Management knew that I wont be on the lease but id be living there as I went with him to sign the lease. I've done some research on squatters rights but iam unsure if it pertains to me. I'd like to stay with the apartment but would like to advise management. This building is not Section 8... Read more »
I am unclear if you have a lease at this point. If you do not, then you have no right to stay as you remain a month to month tenant. Why not just ask the landlord for a lease in your name to avoid trouble.
I'm thinking of converting my cellar into a one bedroom "apartment". It will have a full three fixture bathroom, a kitchen fixture, a door connecting to the outside and most likely a 3x2 window to the outside. I'll be adding a fire alarm and a monoxide detector as well for... Read more »
Why not just make it legal and convert your home into a two family? You are not correct about there being no inspections. Also, you cannot enforce a lease of an illegal space. It also will hinder any sale or refinancing. Finally, it violates your insurance, and could lead to a lack of coverage.... Read more »
The property was auctioned on January 29, 2020 . As of today’s date July 10,2020 there has been no closing.
It depends on the sale terms. If a court foreclosure auction, the buyer usually has 30 days. But any auction is governed by terms of sale handed out at the auction.
I am waiting to be reimbursed for the final expenses that I covered. The will stipulates that the estate will cover the costs. I paid the final expenses in April of 2019. My last correspondence with the attorney (about 6 weeks ago) was that because the decedent owned property in another country... Read more »
You cannot see the returns. You can go to the court to see the file to see if the estate is closed. Did you file a claim? If so, you can petition to compel payment of it.
If the counterclaim is dismissed the defendant is still in the case as a defendant. It just has no claims against the Plaintiff.
the house went up for auction twice but didn't sell. can I call the bank and attempt to get the mortgage reinstated ?
No. But you can call up and offer to buy it with your own mortgage.
can landlord go after me( my personnel asset ex: bank account .... ) if I break the lease again due to the slow business cause of corona
As we sit here, the NYC law was changed to nullify personal guarantees. Thus, the landlord cannot do so. However, there are constitutional and jurisdictional issues that make this law suspect, so it is unclear now what will happen. If you want to break your lease, now is the time to do so, as...

Assuming of course that the deed was properly filed with the City at the time of the original purchase.
You do not need the original deed. The recorded imaged deed is relied upon by buyers and their lawyers.
It’s a hosting agreement, avoids the word ‘lease’, so perhaps not technically a sublease.
I never took occupancy.

In researching NYC phase 2 Covid19 reopening guidance, I... Read more »
It depends on the terms of your lease. If you took "as is" and there is no representation that it is for office use, you might have problems. If there is such a representation, you have a defense if the landlord comes after you for the money.
Contract terms state that the the violating party will handle lawyers expenses. Invoices have been sent regularly but the violatiing company does not respond. My company is register in MN but prefer the case to be handled in NY because the company is present in NY with multiple engagements/... Read more »
Not really that novel a case. You can sue. Stated account claims are simple. Not sure if there are defenses. It is an hourly fee. Collection is always an issue, but if you do nothing, you get nothing, and that is the worst case scenario.
To auction to the highest bidder. Does this mean I do not own or are responsible for this time share?
Is the timeshare company bankrupt? Without seeing the notice I cannot opine on it, but maybe there is a sale of the property subject to all timeshare interests.

It is governed by the partnership agreement. It depends also on the percentage of ownership of each.
This is a contingency contract depended on we sell the property located in FL. Because this pandemic happened, we didn't sell a property located in FL. So we don't have money to purchase the Property located in Steuben county, NY. The seller refuses to return our deposit ($10K).
First, the contract will have terms. Second, if you are in the right, you may have to sue.
BOA kept saying the device that was used was consistent with my device. I was at work at the time of transaction. I need help please.
You need to file a criminal complaint to start. As Zelle requires your device and password, the assumption will be it was your negligence and/or cooperation that caused it.
all her classes will be online. Can the lease be terminated due to Covid-19 affecting her ability to attend school in person. The lease amount is in excess of $11k.
It depends upon the terms of the lease. Try to negotiate something now.

Due to the PAUSE order of Gov. Cuomo, all deadlines for service were tolled, meaning based upon your post, service is valid "nail and mail" service. Do not ignore the paper. File an answer, and then negotiate with the attorney.
The room where the wedding is supposed to take place holds 275 people they feel the governor will allow 50% capacity by then which still won’t get us to 200 but they feel they can use the outter rooms to socially distance our guests. Of course that would also limit dancing as dancing would be in... Read more »
You need to start with your contract. The terms will govern. If you definitely want out, you may have to sue. You might call the NJ Governor's office to discuss your options.

Yes, the pre-deceased son's share goes to his child, unless there was a will.
