I'm sorry to hear about your situation. If the home is in your mother's name, she generally has the legal title to the property. However, you may have an equitable interest or a claim based on several factors. One possibility is that you could argue you and your mother had an oral... View More 
When I applied for a lease at my "gated" community apartment complex, they had a working gate where a fob or a number code was needed to get in. When I moved in, the gate was removed for repairs and has not been replaced in about a year. Recently, my car was stolen. The apartment has... View More

Property owners have a duty to maintain a reasonably safe and secure environment for their tenants. If it can be demonstrated that the apartment complex failed to fulfill this duty by not repairing the gate, not fixing the cameras, and not notifying tenants of known vulnerabilities, they may...

The statute of limitation for an action based upon a written agreement is 5 years. If the agreement was oral, it would be 3 years. There may be some statutory rights (e.g., Landlord Tenant) that are involved in which case the statute of limitations would generally be three years. If the statutory... View More

I'm still being evicted even the judge said. I see all over the internet no one can be evicted how am I still being evicted??
answered on Oct 5, 2020
I would highly encourage you to speak to an attorney about this. It's not as simple as "the landlord can't evict me." There are a number of nuisances to the current executive orders, and an attorney should be able to help your specific situation. Kansas Legal Services may be able to help, too.

If two or more persons listed as tenants in common on a property, control of the property is problematic if they are unable to agree. In absence of an agreed sale and purchase of the other person's interest, Kansas law provides for the partition of the property through a court proceeding. If... View More

What does the commercial lease say about slow payments or non-payments? If the lease says yes, then do it.
My renters never pay on time, and I have to pay every month on a loan for that house. I fix every problem quickly when it is brought to my attention. They won't sign a contract either. What can I do to get them out or raise the rent do to them always being late.
answered on Apr 28, 2018
If the lease is a month-to-month, a landlord may provide notice at least one month prior to a rent-paying date that the lease is going to terminate at the end of the following month. In a separate written communication, a landlord could communicate an offer to enter into a written lease at a higher... View More
My landlord approached the property (specifically, my front door) without reasonable or any notice. He then comes up to what is only a clear glass door and knocks on it as he is looking into my apartment. I opened the door and he discovers I had been smoking in the house and had pets. What’s next?
answered on Apr 24, 2018
It is not against law to knock on somebody's door without notice. If you are found to have violted the lease, your landlord has right to request stop doing or anything the lease allows him to do.
answered on Feb 23, 2018
It is necessary for a landlord to provide a three-day notice (rent must be paid in three days or an action to evict will be initiated) prior to filing a lawsuit. Once the lawsuit is filed, you will be served with notice that the lawsuit is filed and given a court date to appear. If you file a... View More
being asked to co-sign for my son in a apartment lease that he will be sharing with two other boys. The landlord has agreed to an addendum that will state a limited liability equal to his portion of the rent over the life of the lease. Can this be accomplished ?
answered on May 8, 2017
Yes, if both parties agree you can draft an addendum to provide that you are guaranteeing only a portion of the total rent. As long as both parties sign it, it would be enforceable to limit your liability.

If there is no off-set and she owes you the damage deposit, you can take her to small claims court.
how do I get out of this? i'm losing 200K in value. I inherited 25% of land and bought out the others.
answered on May 2, 2017
If the lease specifically says they can buy it at a set price, you are probably stuck. With that being said, an attorney can not really answer that question without looking at the document. I would recommend you have an attorney review the contract and provide you an opinion. It is going to cost... View More
Landlord is entering for pest control but require a lot done before the spraying (basically the whole kitchen and bathroom emptied) or they charge us.

answered on May 1, 2017
Reasonable usually means under the circumstances.
The landlord is juggling availability of the pest control people and the tenants.
Usually, the complaint is that the landlord isn't doing anything.
