I have a judgment against me personally from 10 years ago (yes he renewed it). Since then I bought a property in an llc name. I'm now I'm refinancing and this judgment came up. The underwriter said it must be paid first. I don't understand.
answered on Oct 27, 2021
When a judgment is recorded, the judgment attaches to the ownership interest in real property of the judgment debtor. You'll have to ask the underwriter these questions. Is it possible that the creditor recorded a lien against your LLC? Sure, it's possible, but unlikely. Otherwise, seek... Read more »
I have an outstanding collection from 2016 that is originally from an apartment complex. It was sold to a collection agency in Tampa. When I left that apartment complex, I wasn’t told that I owed any debt. I was never contacted even though my phone number never changed. I would have been easy to... Read more »

Can you dispute it? Sure. Will the credit bureau remove it? Probably not, because it's a valid debt.

You have to consult your HOA documents - nobody online knows what those documents contain.

There's no online help. You must retain an attorney to protect yourself. The personal representative should have a lawyer representing your dad's estate.

I can file a complaint accusing you of not painting the road in front of your house a certain shade of purple, but that doesn't mean that I am able to state a valid cause of action or have the legal grounds to prevail.
Most people don't know when a complaint is filed, until the... Read more »
Will the new owner have to honor my lease ? And do I have to show the home at the landlords request ?
answered on Oct 7, 2021
Yes, but if you pay rent on a monthly basis, he can terminate your lease with notice. Basically, yes. You have to let him show the house, but he just can't barge in whenever he wants to.
Trying to establish a pattern and I need to know if it is legal to ask for the move out survey from the tenant there before me
answered on Oct 7, 2021
Its neither legal or illegal. You can ask, and the LL can say yes or no. If he refuses, that's the end. You have no legal right to force him to give you the survey. You accept the premises as is.

We evicted the tenant, but the suit was only for a one count eviction, the lawyer did not file for count two. We lost 11 months rent. How can I go after that rent. Ke.
answered on Oct 3, 2021
You may not be able to do so. Talk to an attorney with your lease and the eviction case Number. You should have specified to the attorney exactly what you wanted- 11 months is a long time to suddenly realize there was no count for back rent.

Have you asked them to send you the money? What's the real issue? Nobody except the law firm of whom you are a client would know why 9 months have transpired and no call. Perhaps they were waiting for the other case to settle and pay everything at once. Who knows? did you ask them the same... Read more »

answered on Sep 30, 2021
Go to your county property appraiser website and see if the new deed has been recorded. That your present landlord won't tell you to whom to send the rent is ridiculous and may be his way of cheating the new LL out of the rent. Maybe not.
We own a house since beginning of 2010 and rent it for less than 30 days period since then without any problem with our neighbours. Today the HOA ask us for ceasing it as they voted a rule in 2014 so after our purchase . Do they have the right for that ?

If the landlord is not required by your lease to provide A/C, then it has no obligation to fix your A/C, as the landlord is not required to furnish A/C under the law. You are not allowed to withhold rent under these circumstances, else you face the prospect of eviction.

Maybe, but the statute still requires you to deposit the rent with the clerk. Failure to do that.automatically entitles the landlord to judgment. Seems like you have a bona fide Catch22.
