The lease is the controlling document, how ever good or bad it is. Neither party has a right to unilaterally change the terms.
Good Luck.
Holder,who may require compensation for adverse income tax consequences of such early payments. what is a borrower to say or do if note holder ask the borrower for alot of money ?

Either the borrower has the right to pre-pay without penalty or he does not. This should be defined in the terms of the Promissory Note. Lender does not have the right to unilaterally change the terms or demand more. If there is no written promissory note - Lender likely does not have the right... View More

If your landlord is in breach of the breach you likely need to provide notice and opportunity to cure before you have the right to terminate. I recommend contacting an attorney to help you as the landlord may come after you for damages if he thinks that you have not properly terminated.... View More

Landlord verbally agreed to return deposit via phone, but now won’t take my calls and is saying no texts until he consults with his attorneys. What am I responsible for?
answered on Mar 10, 2019
You likely are not in a good legal position. The lease creates an obligation on the Tenant to pay the rent. The lease cannot be unilaterally terminated, but termination can be negotiated. Landlord had 30 - 60 days depending upon the language in the lease to return your security deposit from the... View More

answered on Mar 8, 2019
You likely have a strong case, but you should have an attorney review the full file and possibly represent you in the court hearing.
They are making us find a place to live while we store all our belongings in our garage while they renovate for 14 to 18 days. But are saying we have to pay for the full month of rent Still. Is this legal to make the tenant pay for rent while making them leave for renovations???
Thank you.

There is likely some LL abuse occurring here. I recommend you contact an attorney to draft a demand letter to be sent to the LL asserting your rights of sole and exclusive possession.

Unless your lease stated otherwise, you do not have to let your landlord in until you return possession.

If your lease requires 60 days notice then the LL may require 60 days notice, but only if your lease has such language.
You don't have to stay, but if you don't pay the rent for the entire period your landlord may deduct it from your Sec Dep or pursue you in a lawsuit for the amount.

This is a very valuable asset to you and your siblings. The facts are confusing, I recommend that you schedule a consultation with an attorney to discuss the facts and possible rights that you and your siblings may have against common law husband's claim.

Your month to month will continue until either you or new owner give proper notice of termination of the tenancy.
The new owner should deliver info to you RE payment.
This is a follow up to a previous question, with better clarification. Two utility companies share a utility pole that is on the property line between me and my neighbors. The pole is not a problem.

If there is no easement you should have an attorney send a demand letter to Century Link. This will ultimately force CenturyLink to prove it has a right or move the cables at its expense.

answered on Feb 10, 2019
Whether or not you are part of the Association, and thus required to pay dues, will depend upon whether or not you have allowed your property to be encumbered by the HOA Covenants. If no - no dues. If yes, you'll be subject to all HOA rules including the assessment of dues.
