I had a sizable condo fire, and it was determined that it was the HOAs insurance policy that should make the repairs (not due to fault but bylaws- both parties agree). Suddenly, my HOA changed ownership a few weeks after the fire to a new company. Now the old HOA is saying that it is no longer... Read more »

Should I repay the HELOC borrowing back to avoid commingling? With non-marital funds or thru regular wages?
answered on Sep 25, 2022
It would be important to know what the non marital asset was, when it was acquired and whether it appreciated in value during the marriage, creating a marital interest in the increase in value.
However, generally to borrow from a marital asset during the marriage, it is necessary to have... Read more »

I would think that would depend on your contract and if they can link the damage to your use of the car. If the rat was already living in the car when you took it, is it really your problem? Depending on the amount, it may be worth talking to an attorney.

Well, that depends on your personal preferences. I personally like my broker only acting in my best interest but acknowledge there are times where it is appropriate for the broker to help both sides. A transactional broker acts more as a neutral 3rd party helping both sides in a transaction.... Read more »

There are many dogs on that list now living in my complex. The office says the owners of those dog’s presented documents claiming the dogs are “emotional support “ animals and they are required to accept them. How is this not a breech of my lease which prohibits such dogs? Thank you

In many circumstances federal and state law trumps contract law. Contract law must live in the legal framework setup by both the state and federal governments. A personal contract typically cannot supersede a state or federal law unless the law allows itself to be superseded.

this is a revocable trust however it says only irreevocable trusts must be registered with the county

answered on Sep 15, 2022
Court reporters transcribe court proceedings. It is not common that they are wrong. However you can request an audio of the proceedings.

I think that would partially depend on if negligence was involved, who the easement was granted to, associated contracts and covenants, and so on.

We moved out 12 days ago. Our old landlord put the house on the market 7 days ago. They had one person look at the property and mention pet urine smells in one of the bedrooms as their reason for not renting. Now they are trying to withhold $1,000 for “lost rents.”

I would reach out to an attorney.
From a general standpoint, most leases permit a landlord to withhold a portion of the security deposit to cover damages to the leased premises exceeding normal wear and tear. This could include the cleanup of pet urine.
