I lived in the home with the owner helping with the bills for less than 3 months. He gets evicted for not paying lot rent that I had no knowledge of. How can I get my personal belongings back
I chose option one within our lease break as we recently purchased our first home. It was cheaper to do this option instead of breaking the lease completely. Our electric sky rocketed this month and we haven't even been in there for 20 days. I checked to make sure lights were off only to find... Read more »

It's possible that you have a suit against her for contribution, but just because you can sue someone doesn't mean that you are going to get anything from her. See a local lawyer for advice. This is not a criminal matter.
I hope you can cover the rent on your own.

I assume you do not want a plumber so you really need to ask a legal question, though it seems apparent you need to have check-valves installed to prevent back-up.

When an improvement (e.g., that shed, or a house built on the property) is made to real property, it often becomes part of the real estate, i.e., a "fixture". When that happens, a conveyance of the property normally includes fixtures.
Your state's laws determine what might... Read more »
I moved out of my apartment after I broke up with an ex a while ago. He stayed. I forgot to take my name of the lease and he can't keep a job, so now the creditors are coming after me. They've garnished my wages and now I can't afford food or gas. Please, what can I do to fix this?
answered on Jul 29, 2021
File a chapter 7 or Chapter 13 to terminate the garnishment.
So I may have to pay $7,450 on leaving? What happens if they lease it out in 1 month?
answered on Apr 6, 2021
Technically, yes. However, in practice, most judges will require a landlord to show good faith in marketing and reletting the property to a new tenant, and generally a landlord is given 2-3 months for this purpose (some exceptions permitted for exceptional circumstances). Courts will usually... Read more »
