Typically, any requirements for payment are dependent on what the lease says. You should have an attorney review your lease. An attorney will be able to tell you if they can charge you the addition deposit.
Lease goes through Nov 2017. 3 minor children live in home, were present when applying for home and have been home for any and all repairs arranged by landlord.
Received a 30 day notice to vacate - last 6 months rent has always been current and house is in perfect condition.

You should talk to an attorney ASAP. The attorney will need to see your lease, if you have a written lease. Under the Florida Statutes, usually a tenant is given a 7 day notice if the tenant is not in compliance with the lease provisions. This sounds like a strange action by the landlord and... View More
We signed a year lease,. Paid 1st and last and already moved in
answered on May 4, 2017
Most likely not. However, if there is a provision in your lease that conditions the lease on an acceptable background check, then possible the landlord would have an argument to terminate the lease.
If the landlord takes action to evict you, talk to an attorney immediately.
There was an initial lease 10/1/2008 & then the original landlord had me sign a 1 year lease yesterday 5/1 after telling me the property was closing this week.

If there is a provision in the lease that allows for it to be terminated by the landlord with a certain amount of notice, you may be out of luck. You should consult with a landlord tenant attorney right away. Make sure that you... View More

What happens if she doesn't complete the questions and return it?

You mother in law should talk to an attorney. Most likely if your mother in law refuses to answer the interrogatories, the requesting party will ask the court to issue an order compelling her to answer the questions. If she still does not answer them, she could be held in contempt.

Rental money, stating her father is mentally unfit to handle it. What should I do, as she is insistent.
answered on Apr 30, 2017
It sounds like you have a contract with the older gentleman. If you have a contract you will need to do what the contract says. The daughter most likely will not be able to step in to just change the contract.

My grandfather passed away this morning and my house, that he bought for me, is still in his name. But my grandmother, his wife, is still alive and well. Me and my grandmother was wondering who we contact to get the house put in her name or mine.

Unfortunately from your question it sounds like the house is going to need to be probated for it to be transferred to you. When someone passes away, their property usually needs to go through probate in order for it to be transferred to anyone else, including through a will.

I agree with Mr. WIlliamson. If the heir has passed away, all of his or her property will likely need to go through probate in order for it to be transferred to anyone else.

If property is located in Florida, you may qualify to put the probate estate through summary administration. The best thing to do is to talk to a FL probate attorney to see if you qualify. Summary administrations are relatively simple.

This sounds like there may be an undue influence claim against the person who may have influenced your brother. If this occurred in Florida, you will need to find a Florida licensed attorney.
You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible. With undue influence claims, it is... View More

A will does not automatically transfer everything to you. For assets like the homes, cars, boat, bank accounts, and investment accounts that are titled only in your parents' names, you will need to file for probate in order to have the assets legally transferred to you. There are some ways to... View More
