We can no longer provide for her the necessary care, as her needs are greater than our skills. How do I "evict" her?
answered on Feb 5, 2016
Sorry to hear about your situation and hers. You might be able to get a guardianship over her and then make care decisions. You could also, after giving proper notice, go through the eviction process. Either way, you will need to consult with your own attorney. Good luck.
She is currently on SSI. Her finances used to be taken care of by Whatcom Financial but once they had saved a small reserve for her she fired them and spent the money. She is out of groceries currently. She has homecare thru the state and Catholic Services. Her son lives with her as her... View More

Chances are good that unless you or your brother or someone else care enough to apply for a guardianship or custodianship over her, there's not much that can be done to prevent her from having a rough life. You might want to talk with a local attorney about persuading her to come out to visit... View More

You might want to bring a claim against the property owner himself and let him pick the fights with the insurance company. Given that this was a residential tenancy, you might be entitled to your attorney fees as well as statutory damages. Good luck.

Some friend. In theory, if you were a subtenant (even under an oral lease, not permitted by their landlord) you would be on a month-to-month lease and required to pay rent up to 30 days after you moved out. But you're probably better off writing this person out of your life and ignoring her... View More
Problem is that she is a horder and are living room look like a storage unit with all her stuff. I am not allowed to use any of her things but have no room to put anything in the apartment. I've contacted the managers about breaking the lease but was told that I have to have her sign a... View More

There's probably nothing you can do with respect to your lease and your obligation to pay rent to your landlord--the only exception is if her "controlling" behavior becomes the basis for a stalking or restraining order, and then you may be able to break your lease or force her to... View More

While the property is in the foreclosure process, you still need to pay the landlord or property manager rent. However, given the circumstances you describe, you may have other claims against your property manager. You should talk to your own attorney before withholding rent. Generally, you should...

It sounds like there's a good chance that the landlord gave you the wrong notice, ordinarily a space rent contract can't be terminated with less than 180 days notice, if at all. If you can't resolve things with your property manager, talk to your own attorney before the notice period... View More

Assuming that you're both selling your share, then yes, you probably should both be on the listing agreement. If only one of you is selling, you probably don't both need to be on it, but I'm also not sure who would buy a one-half interest in real property.
Is this legal? I live in Oregon

If the lease is a term lease, the landlord cannot raise the rent during the term of the lease from the written agreement, but could raise the rent at the end of the term if the lease becomes month-to-month or needs to be renewed. You don't mention whether the landlord is trying to raise the... View More
still in it. I've filed a lawsuit against him for Return Of Property, but he has a lawyer that said someone else got rid of my belongings, and said that he will bring up my criminal history in court to say that I am not a credible person. Help me.

It sounds like the landlord definitely has some exposure, but clearly aren't taking you seriously. You should contact an attorney who can review the facts. If you're the prevailing party, you will be entitled to twice your actual damages and your attorney fees. I'm skeptical that... View More
There is a lot of circumstantial evidence he did this, but it hasn't been proven yet. If I could get an answer for both scenarios (he is proven to have done this; they cannot prove beyond doubt that he did this), that would be great. There was slight damage to one of the alarms.

Proof is not required in a civil matter "beyond doubt," but only by preponderance of the evidence. That said, before "eviction" you need to provide proper notice of a for-cause violation, with 30 days to cure the violation (in this instance, not pull any more fire alarms, or... View More
We purchased a home last year and found out there is no air flow to the master bedroom. We had the vents scoped and according to two companies the duct work goes into wall so was never connected. She lived there for 15 years and didn't disclose it on seller's disclosure. Originally she... View More

Typically, the rule is buyer beware. Most real estate purchase contracts have an inspection period where you are expected to do your own investigation. That said, you may still have a claim for fraud. You have to show a material disclosure (e.g. that she actually made an important claim about the... View More
