I assume you have contacted your landlord in writing or email asking him to trim the flower bed and he refused.
Whether the agreement with your landlord requires him to trim the flower bed depends on what the agreement states (if in writing) or what the terms you and he discussed and... View More

Your question gives no explanation of a number of facts which may prove decisive. A few of the facts needed: how the 75/25 split in ownership of the pond was initially created and when; whether the pond is man-made or of natural origin; how it is fed, such as by run-off, stream, an underground...

The landlord has backed up 3inches of raw sewage into the apartment making it uninhabitable because they were told they can not evict us and need a court order what can we do?
answered on May 5, 2020
First, you should move out to protect your health. But immediately contact your local housing and health officials to (politely) demand an inspection of the property, because the sewage is an immediate danger to public health, and issue a report. Their report most likely will declare the property... View More

I agree with Mr. Flynn. Your situation is too important and complicated to use a Q&A website forum for legal advice. I, too, urge you to hire your own business attorney before you enter into any further discussions with the other company, and before become obligated to pay them for any... View More

If you have not done so yet, you need suggest your first step would be to read a copy of the deed. The deed will say whether your son and his girlfriend owned the property as “tenants in common” or as “joint tenants with rights of survive
is that allowed? and if that is the case shouldnt the letter say the lawyer is representing the landlord?
answered on Feb 4, 2020
Technically, you may have an argument. There does exist a case concerning a long-term commercial lease with a similar provision which held that a letter declaring a non-monetary default sent by an unknown lawyer was not effective because the unknown person didn’t identify himself as... View More

They told me it is because my rent was a special rate at the time I signed the lease. However the realtor and the rental company failed to disclose this information before I signed the lease. My rent is now going from 1250 to 2725. Is there anything I can do?
answered on Jan 3, 2020
Not much you can do, except move out. If the rental market in your area for tenants is not good, you may ask the landlord for a short term renewal for a few months so you have some time to find a new apartment. Make sure it’s a “ renewal” as opposed to an “extension” because a... View More

Your mortgage company will not lend you the purchase price to buy the house unless it obtains an acceptable Mortgagee's Title Insurance Policy.

You don't say who issued you a fine, whether a fine was issued or where the dumpster was located. My guess is that if your local township issued the fine, you need to contact them to find out what the rules are regarding lids on dumpsters.
