He has now passed away. Do I have any rights in this situation?
I switched apartment units before move-in and never updated or signed a new lease. It's a different unit and different price. Months later there's a large billing error where they've been debiting my account incorrectly each month, and they want me to make up the difference. I'm... Read more »
I was the executor of my father's will. He owned a non-homestead house in another county. I filed a probate case and was deeded the home after disposition. A half sibling (step brother to my father) has been living in the home for 17 years and was on the mortgage (not the deed). I am now... Read more »

Yes, an ejectment action would be appropriate to remove the occupant. However, they may have an equitable claim for the amounts paid on the mortgage, assuming they paid some portion of the mortgage that they signed for. Please feel free to reach out for a free consultation.

The step-brother may have been paying the mortgage and might have a claim for those payments as well as any money he invested into maintenance and repairs if he was not paying rent. It seems a bit unusual to me that he was on the mortgage but not the deed. Usually someone signs a mortgage to... Read more »
If erap is paying march arrears and 3 months after
as the Rats, he tells her it will cost in rent increase. Landlord even had professional at house about the rats but landlord won't pay to fix holes. Is there anything the renter can do?

Answering the question, so you can advise your neighbor, would be the unauthorized practice of law on your part, a felony. Let your neighbor handle her issue with the Landlord, if she needs help finding an attorney, help her do that. Then leave it be.
My Mobile Home Park does not allow pets (rule #1) yet half of the residents in the MHP, including myself and 2 neighbors, have one pet or another. It seems only one resident has been singled out. He is being asked to either have a letter from his doctor stating that he is disabled and needs a... Read more »

1. Give written demand to leave (either immediately or give a deadline of your choice), and keep a copy; good to give verbal demand as well;
2. If the person refuses, read Fla. Statutes Section 82.035 (which is online) - that provides a remedy of having the police order the person to... Read more »

I own a home in manatee county Florida. I allowed my partner to move in with me. He pays half the bills in form of a rent check to me monthly. He also paid half of getting my main electrical box replaced ($2900.00).

Were you to sell your house, he would be invisible to the title company, as he is not on the deed. He would not be entitled to share the profits of the sale, as he would be if he co-owned the home.
Whether he can sue you for some amount as compensation for the contributions he has made, and... Read more »

Sounds like the default was entered due to someone's error, which may have been made due to failure to consult an attorney. In small claims court, an LLC does NOT need an attorney to represent the LLC if the proper documentation is prepared to authorize an eligible person to engage in the... Read more »
I am a paraplegic confined to a wheelchair and they have "half assed" this request as if they have no consequences for doing so.
They have begun a surreptitious attempt to make complaints against me in retaliation. Please help.

My advice is to consult an attorney who has experience with, or focuses his or her practice on ADA issues.
My apartment complex is telling me that I can not have someone spend the night for more than 3 days a month. But, this is not what the lease says.
It states : “ Other than residents and authorized occupants, no one else may occupy the apartment. Guests are not permitted to stay in the... Read more »
answered on Mar 5, 2023
As I read your post, the complex is right. The lease apparently reads "Guests are not permitted to stay in the apartment for more than (3) consecutive days without [their] prior written consent." Is the problem the fact that the "(3)" isn't really filled in?
Where I live the apartment has water leaks and they cheated me by giving me the apartment, it was fixed outside because I went to the city and complained. the owner promised to fix the damage inside the roof and he never did. The old air conditioning does not want to change it for a new one and... Read more »
If the HOA knew of the misrepresentations, intentional fraud, right? If they didn't know, negligence fraud, right? And any related parties aware and benefiting from said misrepresentations are conspirators, no?
answered on Mar 4, 2023
Generally, no, but that answer could change depending on the misrepresentations. If any of the misrepresentations conflict with the language in the HOA documents, which are public record, the HOA would not be liable because owners are deemed to have read the HOA documents whether they actually...

This is a short term lease for 3 months.

Sure, obviously you can breach any contract if you want to be exposed to liability for doing so. If you have a meaningful question, please phrase it in a way that makes sense.
Rent was $2050 He asked for $2350 and I counter offered $2250. He accepted but now he wants me to pay for the months I already paid $2050. That's $600
