Knowing how to evict a tenant is Landlord 101. Here's what I recommend that you do:
1. Hire an attorney to handle this tenant removal from start to finish. We can't get you up to speed in a Q&A forum.
2. Assuming the attorney you hire is someone whom you will want to... Read more »

Yes, he needs to give you at least 15 days notice. He gave you 60. You need to move.
Plus fees, death certificate. All I need to do. Just need to know which of those 3 deeds to send, pls.

You need to actually retain an attorney to make this decision. This is not something that any lawyer on the internet can advise you on.
Im curious if I rent a house with three other people and one of the people invites a person onto the property that isnt wanted on the property by the other tenants am I rightfully allowed to tell said person to vacate the property?
answered on Jan 6, 2022
When you rent an apartment or house with others, all of you lease 100% of the premises. Your housemate has every right to invite someone to the property; you have every right to not allow it. Its a housemate issue. Now, if this person causes a problem such that his or her continuing presence is the... Read more »
I am the executor of my moms estate.
I am also beneficiary of stocks and were transferred to my account as soon as the death was reported.
As the executor I was told all assets need to be distributed equally. So as soon as I got the stocks I sold them and put the money in the estate... Read more »

You are required by law to be represented by an attorney in your capacity as personal representative of your moms estate. If you have not retained a probate attorney, do it now before you do anything else. He or she will advise on what needs to be done.

Maybe. You should contact a personal injury attorney in your area.
I can pay apartment myself and the lease has no mention of guests or occupants ....I've been living here for 2 years and she's been w me for like a yr n half
answered on Dec 27, 2021
The Landlord has every right to know who is living in the apartments, and has decided that since she lives there, that she needs to be legally responsible, along with you, for the rent. If you elect to not comply, the LL may decide to evict you both; the mere filing of an eviction complaint can... Read more »
Can I get help with recovering any of the policy payout.
answered on Dec 17, 2021
Insurance proceeds pass directly to the beneficiary on the policy; these do not pass through the probate system. There is no ability for the Court to change the terms of the insurance policy.
answered on Dec 16, 2021
Yes, within reason. You don't have to give the LL carte blanche to bring people over anytime, but at the same time you probably cannot refuse every and all requests. Read your lease, there may be some reference to this situation.
I complained about a parking problem, then she posted the 3 day notice. Rent is current ..late fees are from two months Sept and October
answered on Dec 16, 2021
Read your lease. Generally, usually, normally, late fees are considered rent and due along with the next rent payment. Let's say your October rent was $500. You paid late and were assessed a $50 late fee. Your November rent due is $550, not $500.
Now you need to come up with... Read more »

No. If the owner of the credit card is your wife and you are not a co-owner, then you are not liable to the card issuer.
I am a single mom and a student full time, and looking for a part time job, I have had quite a few obstacles the last few years and I am trying to move forward. The bill is for 1200, and I can not pay it, maybe a payment plan. I just need some help and I do not know what else to do.
answered on Dec 3, 2021
Call the attorney who filed the suit or the person who signed it and try to arrange a payment plan.
answered on Dec 2, 2021
You didn't ask a question. The attorney will want you to pay the past due assessments and their attorneys fees so they don't file suit to foreclose the lien on your property. You can have your house sold underneath you if you don't get this taken care of. If you try to make a deal... Read more »

The easy answer is to do a quit claim deed from you to her and you. The much better answer, and the one that I urge you to follow, is to consult with an estate planning lawyer to make certain that not only is the transfer done properly, but that the transfer is done in light of any tax or other...

All utilities are in my name and I pay all the bills.

The only issue is whose name is on the Lease. Generally, landlords want the name of every adult residing in the rented space to be on the lease (meaning that all the adults are equally responsible to the landlord for the full amount of the monthly rent). If you executed a new lease and you are the... Read more »

answered on Nov 9, 2021
It sounds like rent is not the issue, but the stuff outside. Generally usually, leases provide that the tenant must keep the outside of the rented property looking neat by specifying certain things that must be done or not be done. A duplex is not a place to keep the trailers that belong to a tree... Read more »
We gave the judge all the proof and they did Not let me say two sentences! How can I appeal a wrong decision on two disabled people?
answered on Nov 8, 2021
You didn't lose because the plaintiff had an attorney. You lost because you didn't have an effective or legal defense. Of course you can appeal but the likelihood of you prevailing is slim because eviction cases are creatures of statute. Statutes are narrowly construed (they mean what... Read more »
