If you have a lawyer tell them to consider filing a counter-claim for the damages and a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's claims for pain and suffering for res judicata or collateral estoppel. If your lawyer does not know what res judicata and collateral estoppel mean hire another lawyer that does.

I recently moved to the US on a non-immigrant work VISA. Before moving, I was evaluating apts to rent and found this agency that had an apartment (~$2000 rent) which seemed good for me.

So, they have acknowledged that they owe you the money; that is good. It is only a matter of getting the check to you. It appears to have been lost in the mail; that happens. Ask them to write you a new check and stop payment on the old one. Or consider picking it up at their office.
Copy your original question and these conversations and paste to an email and send them to me at

Whatever the tenant accepts, up to the max.
No. Whoever you sell the condo to will have to allow the current tenant(s) to finish out the lease--unless you or the new owner get together and buy the tenant out.
FYI: Many tenants are not married to the place they rent and will consider reasonable offers to give them the money they need... Read more »
What is our recourse?
The park owner is not required to allow someone to move in because they are credit risk. You would need to find a new buyer if the buyer is not willing to prepay the rent.
Do I have rights to rent my dock since I don't "own the water"? What happens if they crash into my dock? Any legal concerns or suits that can be brought against me as the dock owner?
If they crash into your dock, you'd have a lawsuit against them.
If someone drowns and the heirs may blame you for poor maintenance of the dock.

I was promised that my apartment would have a shelf installed in the washer/dryer room which should have been there initially upon move-in.

The written wording says 12 months. He wants to raise the rent after one year, more than 5% without 60 days notice-but it looks like I might have a two year lease, all this hold up in a court of law?
A lawyer would have to read the lease agreement to see how it is written. Generally, when there are conflicting terms in a contract, a court will interpret it in favor of the person who did not draft it but not always. The court will also allow evidence other than the agreement to be introduced... Read more »
