That depends on what the parties to the contract are willing to agree to. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE! YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY WHO IS LICENSED IN YOUR STATE FOR LEGAL ADVICE. This is merely suggestions for you to think about in discussing your situation with the local attorney.

Different attorneys have different fees. You get what you pay for. Pick the best lawyer you can find and remember one rule: a good lawyer is generally never cheap, and a cheap lawyer is generally never good so don't choose based on price.

Tax abatement programs reduce or eliminate the amount of property tax owners pay on new construction, rehabilitation and/or major improvements. They won't completely eliminate your property tax bill -... View More

There is no way of knowing who will win the sheriff sale. This is very different from an auction. If it was a short sale, you do not control anything, the lender does and statistically most short sales fail.

Do you have a lease which allows him to charge you late fees as additional rent? If you do, then it is considered rent, and every month you haven't paid it, it could be considered late. If you don't have a lease or it doesn't state that the late fees are considered rent, then he... View More

That interest can be a contractual interest (you have the property under contract) or you actually own or have title to the property. However, you should... View More
The reasons is lost revenue from the lease. I met the neighbor who said he wants to move his father into my sister old apartment. If that is the case I don't think landlord would be able to claim lost revenue.
