Our building changed owners in June. The new owner has refused to provide a new one year lease, keeping us on mo-mo tenancy. Is this legal? It's uncomfortable knowing he can kick us out with 30 days notice. He has done some work in the building and now the unit type we moved into 18 months... View More

I suggest you hire a local attorney to review the prior lease and see how if affects the situation. In general, a landlord is not required to renew a lease, but it's unclear from your post whether the prior lease expired.

It’s not a matter of breaking any law but rather of breaching the lease, a contract. You may sue for breach of contract to recover actual damages or for injunctive relief.

Hire a competent MO attorney now to file suit for a Boundary Dispute, Restraining Order, and damages. Both titles must be searched and you will need a Surveyor to testify to the boundary.
They are not responding to my calls or emails. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

Hire a MO attorney to determine heirship. Then execute and record an Affidavit of Heirship as a source of title for the tenants in common. Remember someone has to pay taxes, insurance or a note.
I have reach out the the realtor cause I didn’t buy the house as is all these problems was supposed to be fix and they are just giving me the run around what can I do cause I feel I have been taken advantage of

Schedule an appointment with a local attorney to review the sale contract and provide options. The mere fact that there are problems with the house doesn’t make the seller liable but perhaps you can prove a claim for failure to disclose defects.
I have a previous landlord who is neighbors with my mother. He evicted us for breaking the lease (which we didn't) and has been harassing my mom periodically since. Most recently he has yelled at my 7 yo child for something that didn't happen.
answered on Jul 3, 2023
If he has threatened to harm the child seek and order of protection.
It takes a court judgment for an eviction. Therefore, if you were sued you should have had your day in court.
We were given no documentation, no updates. My spouse was told he was a "partner" but then fired. We requested the investment back and we have nothing. Is this lawful? Do we have a case?

You need to have a consultation witn an attorney. There is a lot to discuss. The specifics of the agreement. Whether the investment was an unregistered security. Whether there investment was wiht an individual or business. Whether a judgment would be collectible. Too much money is at issue... View More

An examination of the present deed, and possibly the title, is needed here. Even if it is a life estate/remainder deed, the surviving husband can still ask a Court to sell the minors' interests. It depends on the deed whether the husband and the kids took the deceased wife's interest,... View More
We were just hit with a HEFTY condo association fee. We need to pay 3k in less than a month, or we will be fined. They are charging 3k per unit to fix the roofs, that they haven’t fixed in years. On top of this, we already pay 200 a month. It seems unfair to ask for so much money so quickly.
answered on Jun 5, 2023
That is a lot of money, but you've not asked a legal question. Perhaps you can finance the assessment, assuming it was properly authorized.
How would I go about starting this process?
answered on Jun 2, 2023

Once a lien is placed on a piece of property, the amount cannot be changed by the company who placed the lien unless there is a legal basis for doing so, such as an error in the lien amount. After a tax sale, the purchaser may have to pay all recorded liens on the property, depending on the... View More

I am moving out of an apartment complex on May 22, which is the date that my lease ends. My complex has notified me that I must pay for the entire month of May. Are they allowed to do this?
answered on Apr 25, 2023
If you have a written lease that states it terminates on May 22 then it doesn’t make sense that the landlord would believe it is entitled to a full month’s rent. I haven’t seen your lease. It controls.
answered on Mar 22, 2023
There are a lot of factors that would help answer this question. Do you have a will? Have you updated your will since your marriage? Generally speaking, if you die without a will (intestate), your spouse and kids would split your estate. It sounds like you have a beneficiary deed in place for your... View More
