I received a roof assessment of $3,060 early this year from the condo association where I own a condo unit (bought in November 2019). I've been been making payments of $255 each month since March 2020 (already sent $1,530) and decided to stop making payments this month of September due to no... Read more »
Your condo HOA association documents should spell everything out. In all likelihood, they can charge the fees so that the HOA has the money to pay the roofer, rather than start collecting money when the work starts.
I paid an attorney to handle this case. He obtained the judgement then told me that he couldn’t find her, even though she had attempted to see him. He admitted this to me, then later changed his story.
After I received the judgement, he told me that I was on my own as far as collection.... Read more »
Your judgment is good for 20 years. Apparently your agreement with him was to.obtain the judgment, which he did. You weren't taken advantage of, and there's nothing anyone can do to force someone to voluntarily pay a judgment. In fact, all your debtor has to do is file bankruptcy and... Read more »
Last night 9/23/2020 around 4:30 p.m., some private number called my mom and asked for me, she told them I haven't lived there in 15 years and the lady on the other line said that someone filed a complaint about me or on me and that I needed to call an "888" number with a... Read more »
That's not the way the civil court or the criminal court system works. Sounds like a scam or at least shady.
I have been in the home 8 years and have been paying $85 a month for lawn maintenance and as well have paid for many repairs as Ac and screen enclosure damaged due to past hurricane and the landlord was well aware of it and told me a few times his Repair man will be free to do repairs up to two... Read more »
Unless your lease requires him to provide AC, he is not required to fix your AC when it goes out. You have no right to fix things on your own without his written permission and then expect to be reimbursed. Same thing with the lawn. If the lease requires you to maintain the lawn, you have no reason... Read more »
My parents are still married but have been separated (not legally, sold their home previously and now live in different counties and own their own homes) but have will's in place from many years ago. My father does not want his estate going to my mother upon his death and wants it distributed... Read more »
Your dad should consult with his own attorney. You should not be involved because any legal advice that you pass along from a lawyer could be construed as you practicing law. If you are not a lawyer, practicing law is a felony. I know you want to help your dad; the best way to help is to review the... Read more »
Me and my sister were never mentioned in my grandpa's will because we weren't blood related and his side of the family didn't like my mom, so it was a bit messy we group up with our grandpa and weren't even in his obituary. I have all the papers for the estate I'm owed and... Read more »
Take your stuff to a probate lawyer with your checkbook (so you can pay for a.consultation) to see if he or she can help you. We cant help you on the internet.
my landlord contacted me stating he has someone coming today for a home inspection, got a knock on the door and it wasn't a inspection at all, it was a woman that was told to come view the home for a potential sale.

Not really. Take a look at your lease.
I was served a eviction notice in March of 2020 when the pandemic struck and in responding to the eviction within the time frame that was given I was informed that the county courts were closed until further notice I was not notified I told us sheriff's deputy arrived with a final judgment for...

No, but I'd be really surprised if this happened the way you claim.
"This lease agreement is not constructed to be automatically renewed at the end of the term for which drawn, however the intent to renew this agreement by the Tenant(s) will be assumed.

I don't see where the landlord has to give the tenant a 60 day notice here.
He's known to have a severe drug problem the rooms were horrible I paid almost 2 thousand for the month and it was just odd he said I can't get my money back at all at firstly then said he could give me a weeks worth. It still bugs me to this- day the place is horrible and definitely not... Read more »
Probably not. Do you really think a guy with a severe drug problem.who runs a roach motel is going to have 2 grand laying around? You should have consulted a.lawyer 3 years ago. Even so, if you think you have a case, you should consult a lawyer, but be prepared to be charged a hefty fee upfront if... Read more »
Can I get out of my lease
Is it your lease, or is it your daughter's lease with you as personal guarantor? (Big difference.) She can always move out, but there's probably no way for you or her to avoid the legal consequences of her doing so. You might want to take the lease to a lawyer in your town for a... Read more »
He wants to remodel, but I am the only apartment he wants to do call remodel
He has to give you 15 days before the end of the month for you to vacate. if he does, that's the end of the line for you. You have to leave or face eviction. It also doesn't matter why he wants you out.
It depends upon how many people live there and how many bedrooms there are. Also, if he requires her to be on the lease and she or you is refusing to put her on the lease, he can refuse on that basis as well.
She never paid rent. She has only paid a cable bill a couple of times in the last few years.
You hire an attorney. If she had an agreement to pay rent, whether she did or not, makes a big difference and you cannot afford to screw it up, because the consequences can be a bitter pill to swallow if you are the landlord.
No. You cannot do that under any circumstances, and if you hold a package delivered by USPS, that's probably a federal crime.
A bank has reliquished savings funds to the floridatreasurehunt.gov. The state in turn will relinquish those assets to the next of kin once a probate order has been given. There was no will, it was past the 2 year statue of limitation for creditors and the amount in question is less than $75,000 a... Read more »
The reason is because the rules of court require it. Probate is one of the few areas in which most people are required to have an attorney represent them in the proceedings.
If your lease doesn't require that the landlord furnish air conditioning, he is not required to fix it. Ever. And you have no right to withhold rent or to terminate your lease if he doesn't.
If your lease requires the LL to furnish air conditioning, he has a reasonable time within... Read more »
My lease allows for two residents and my name is the only lessor on it.
You may not be able to rent a room to your friend. Do you have your landlord's written permission to sublease a room? Probably not, which means you may very well have breached your lease with your landlord, setting you up for an eviction.
My apartment has water damage because of heavy rain while the roof is being worked on.
Part of the ceiling collapsed in the living room and insulation and water fell on my property. Within a week the ceiling in the kitchen collapsed on top of me. I wasn't hurt but the full use of my... Read more »
You cannot withhold rent unless you have the owner's written agreement beforehand. Looks like there are open holes in the ceiling, and repairs are being made to the roof.
I refused to rent the detached workshop and the other owner rented it anyway knowing that it was not legally permitted work and there is no Certificate of Occupancy. This is in the state of Florida. Also if the Tenant has not paid rent in 3 months to the other owner can the Tenant fight the... Read more »
