I will assume the seller's tried to delay the sale by foreclosure. That being the case, what control did the seller's realtor have to delay the sale by foreclosure. In addition - since you did not employ the seller's realtor what duty did the seller's realtor have to you?... View More

Unless there was some agreement on you storing the items, they were abandoned by the previous owner.

Do with it as you please.

The landowner has no claim for the value of the improvements.

The title insurance insures only title as the title was at the time of the issuance of the policy. Future acts by the owner are not covered. Also it only insures the title to the property and improvements on the property. An... View More

You provided just too little information.

Your situation could be that the "manager" was in fact an unauthorized person stealing the rent for property he had no legal ability to rent. Or it could be the owner and the old manager had a falling out and parted ways.

You need to provide some information.

Who owns the property?

How did the squatter come into possession?

What is your relationship to the property?

What are the code violations for?

There are some questions that need to be asked.

But generally, when you got divorced all real estate that you owned together as tenants by the entirety (husband and wife) became owned by you and him as tenants in common. The difference is that in the former you and he each owned 100%... View More

You can seek the help of an attorney or you can use the "self-help" material supplied by the clerk.

The notice for him to move out for non-payment of rent is 3 days to pay the rent or you then can file for eviction.

Alternatively, assuming that rent is due on the first,... View More

How you take title is going to be irrelevant for the purpose of preventing your boyfriend from having the new debt he is entering into not affect his other properties.

This requires an overall protection plan - but simply realizing that if he personally signs a promissory note and he has... View More

The short answer is no. A written contract with all the essential elements included and for which consideration is given (like a deposit, although there is case law that says no monetary consideration need be paid for the contract to be effective), and that includes who, what, where, when and how...

There is a two year rule - but it says that the house must be completed within two years - not longer. If you want a contract to day delivery will be in 7 months then there is no legal reason why this cannot be put in the contract.

The specific law is the Federal Interstate Land Sales Act.

Unfortunately, for non-emergency entries this is deemed a breach of contract that needs to be enforced in court. Perhaps a threatening letter from an attorney may work and you may be able to charge them the legal fees for that if it is so provided in your lease. But these tenants figure you... View More

you should be able to see the details of the attorney on this site. Otherwise go to www.flabar.org and use the Find An Attorney button and just put in the attorney's name.

The security deposit on a residential lease per statute is not rent or to be used as rent. Commercial rules would look to the lease.

So cancellation in advance should not include the security deposit as being lost unless the lease specifically addresses this issue.

You can research online in the official records of the county where the property is located to determine if your mother does not have the ability to transfer the property.

Once you determine that, you should see an attorney (the attorney can do the search for you in about 3 minutes) who can... View More

You don't say who is evicting you - the landlord or the association (if there is one).

You need to look at your written lease agreement. I assume it has you and your children allowed as occupants and your fiance is not listed as an occupant. Since he apparently is not a guest there... View More

Absolutely. No release of the deposit can be made until all the parties to the contract agree - in writing.

Mr. Williamson gives good advice.

The issue is not that they have two ledgers - the fact is that they are entitled to what they are entitled. If they are entitled to the maximum interest allowed by law, then the fact that they may have billed you for less in the past does not stop them... View More

Possessing marijuana is illegal in Florida. If you smell it being smoked, call the police and they will confirm the smell and then deal with the illegal activity next door. Your landlord could do something if he had proof of its use or storage in the apartment, and chose to do something about it... View More

Interesting question. There are no Florida laws restricting your sale of the house.

However if you had purchased a short sale for your current residence, typically there is a restriction involved in the purchase paperwork that could be a 30 to 90 day no transfer restriction. You are... View More

Provided you have not taken up a primary residence elsewhere and you are not renting out your Florida homestead, it should retain its homestead status while you are in college.
