The law in Virginia provides it will not be legal.

You may want to proceed with a lawsuit against your neighbor or seek a permanent injunction against your neighbor.

That depends on what they did. Violating the POA Act is unlikely to result in criminal liability on its own. You would want to read the Act in conjunction with the HOA's governing documents to determine what the board did and how to proceed. I recommend getting an attorney to help you... View More

It is possible that your lease has a provisions that allows either the landlord or the tenant to terminate the lease by giving the other party a written notice within the last 60 days of the lease term. You should review your lease to se what are the provisions on this subject.

If I'm understanding, that's an interesting strategy with an interesting resulting countermeasure. I am assuming that the property has a mortgage loan (hereinafter M) that the life tenant (L) is supposed to pay. L cannot sell without signature of daughters (D), but L is allowing the... View More

Not sure of your question. But it sounds like NJ Intestate Secession probably makes the Decedents' issue Heirs-At-Law along with the surviving spouse. And all Heirs are needed to convey.

Generally speaking yes, but it also depends on the relationship of the ownership. There are other methods by which owners of real estate (those on deed) can sign to sell the house. Call a lawyer in your area to review the current deed and will explain.

You are required to give your landlord (or the landlord's representative in this case) access to the property, immediately if it is an emergency, or with reasonable notice if it is not an emergency.

I do not think there is any relevance of this non-payment to COVID-19, but I would suggest you see your lease agreement and what it says about leaving early and payment.

The lease should control the answer to your questions. Generally, if the landlord has not delivered possession of the premises to the tenant, the rent is not due and payable from the tenant to the landlord. If another tenant caused you to be displaced from the premises because of a fire, the other... View More

If it's a residential vacation home, then it's residential use (even if a business is the short-term tenant). Residential vs. Commercial is more about the zoning of the piece of land that determines whether the property maybe used for residential, commercial, or mixed-used. If you need... View More

Your question involves mortgage, real estate (deeds), and wills issues. You can certainly do any of the things you want, but to achieve your twin goals of leaving the house to your children and them being able to keep it by paying the mortgage may be achieved after you speak with a lawyer and...

It sounds like it might be time for a legal review of the transaction to determine if there was an easement implied. They don't appear to be tenants of their buyer, so it may be time to negotiate or to buy bottled water until they can tap into an artesian well below their property.

You have two alternatives. You can bring a small claims lawsuit for the excess/overage amount of rent in the General District Court of Lynchburg. You can also contact the Virginia Attorney General's Office and make a formal complaint.

You need a lawyer to read the contract NOW. It really does matter what it says and how you handle it. Many Virginia lawyers offer remote consults by Zoom, especially during the Covid-19 lockdown.

He needs to convey the house back to you, or you need to file a Petition for Sale in Lieu of Partition along with a claim for Contribution.

If it is yours, you can surely gift it. Either a quitclaim deed or a warranty deed will do the trick. I'd have to check, but the transaction may be tax-free, like a transfer between spouses. If not, there will be transfer and recordation taxes. The mortgage loan to a near certainty has a... View More

You aren’t providing enough information. If you hold the entire fee simple of any house, whether your parents are living there or not, you may sell it for fun or profit. If you don’t, you can’t. Consult counsel to review the title.
