There's no such thing as "his half of the lease" - unless the lease specifies that each tenant is responsible for only half the rent, which is extremely unlikely. Usually, all tenants named on the lease are jointly responsible for the rent. That means if one takes off and refuses... View More

Normally when you buy real property there is a title search and survey to check these things, at least you would have if you had an attorney represent you in the transaction. Did you get a title insurance policy when you purchased the property, you may be able to make a claim.

You are... View More

Yes, you may have an easement by necessity &/or a prescriptive easement. Check with an attorney.

That is not a legal reason to evict. The landlord's rights to terminate your tenancy are based on the terms of your written lease. If you happen to have a month-to-month tenancy based just on a verbal agreement, he may terminate the tenancy anytime he feels like it (and doesn't need any... View More

Depending on the local zoning code, a stand-alone garage may not be a permitted use. See about getting a building permit for the house and garage, and simply build the garage as the first phase of the plan. The permit might require you to complete the entire project (house and garage) within a... View More

Have it towed.

If it's truly a certified service dog that serves the girl, yes, she has the right to have such a dog at ANY weight. HOWEVER, service dogs are NEVER vicious! They are trained to be very tolerant of people and dogs. Therefore, sounds like there is fraud going on, and there should be a... View More

Yes, the power company can refuse to supply power if it doesn't have an appropriate easement.

That depends on a host of factors, including the applicable zoning code, environmental regulations, and whether the local government is treating you equally to those with a similar type of land. The first step is to ask your local Planning & Zoning officials. If you don't like their... View More

Yes, it appears that all of this can be done in a properly-worded agreement. But you need an attorney to be sure that it is done properly.

I think you answered your own question. You said it's on the right-of-way, which means the right of the public to go on their way on that land. If it's indeed the right-of-way, you most likely can't mount a legal challenge. However, you and your neighbors can try complaining to... View More

Before doing anything, you should confer with your neighbor to attempt to reach agreement on it. Though I suppose he'll not wish to move the intact tree away from your property, you need to confirm that. If he won't cooperate by either moving the tree or having you, him, or both saw it,...

I suggest finding help at your local courthouse or law library that may be able to assist with a landlord-tenant clinic or pro bono. Good luck.

You question is a bit vague. You seem to be asking, "If my current local zoning law prohibits vacation rentals in my building, is there something I can do to change that and/or to challenge it in court?" If that's the question, the answer is yes to CHANGING it, but only by... View More

Yes, a quitclaim deed has the same effect as a warranty deed except that the grantor(s) are not saying that they necessarily have clear title. You really should get an attorney in on this; your question suggests that you don't have the necessary knowledge to do this correctly.

One would have to know a lot more information, but in general yes, if you comply with the zoning and building code requirements. They can't prohibit you (assuming you inherited it from your brother) from using the lot for anything.

Perhaps, although the city and building inspectors probably would prevail; if they are relying upon fraudulent surveys.

I'm not sure that a 10' separation between buildings would be a significantly greater fire hazard than a 30' separation, but you probably would need an... View More

Typically, code enforcement liens survive a tax deed.

The list of what survives a tax deed sale is very small, but code enforcement liens are on that list if the ordinance under which it was levied complies with Florida Law. Most all municipalities long ago fixed their statutes and... View More

You would need to include more details.

Unwanted?

Returned?

Seems that there are some facts missing here.

As to the real property, each of the siblings would own an undivided 1/9 interest in the land. It the land were sold, each of you should get 1/9 of the net proceeds.

As to the business, it appears that the two siblings who are doing business own that. Absent an agreement with the other... View More
