Your current state is Virginia
I live in Colorado and when my wife and I did the final walkthrough of our new home, they showed us the property lines and the builder also already installed the front yard landscaping to make it easier to see which was roughly 9+ ft off of the right side of the house. However, yesterday when I... Read more »
The ultimate issue here is who is correctly identifying the property line, the builder or the new claim? And, if the builder was wrong do you have a claim against him or against your title insurance?
You should bring your facts and evidence to an attorney to review, he may be able to... Read more »
I'm a law student and i wanted to know this. I researched it on the internet but none of the sites provide concrete answer
If that's the way your question was phrased, you might have a wide berth in terms of the issues you could raise and discuss, ranging from traditionally accepted human rights issues to property rights under due process as a constitutional issue. You might want to check with your instructor or... Read more »
It is being used as a full time residence.
Maybe, maybe not.
Two considerations: a) subdivision restrictions and b) zoning ordinances.
a) If you are in a subdivision with restrictions and covenants, there may be a prohibition in them. They will sometimes refer to it as 'temporary housing' or refer to campers, tents and... Read more »
It depends on what the written lease says, that landlord and tenant signed. If the lease is for the land and buildings, and there is no exception for the landlord to keep using the shed, then the landlord could hold the tenant responsible. If tenant didn't pay to repair the shed, then landlord... Read more »
I rent what used to be the garage of the main dwelling at my address. The gas company considers it the "shop" address, but its a 2 br house. There is also a shop behind my house that has been converted into a one bedroom bungalo. Three seperate dwellings but one mailbox, intended for a single... Read more »
Given that a landlord is not legally required to provide any mailbox, you likely have no claim regarding sharing it. If you prefer, simply get a P.O. Box or private mailbox at one of the many places offering such options. The gas meter may be a different deal however. It depends upon what your... Read more »
My question is if they buy out my property to set up a drill pad, should I try to negotiate for not only the replacement cost of the buildings, but the lost income of the property? The lots are only 100' wide, so any drilling will affect multiple plots. There are 5 rentals beside my home plus... Read more »
Yes you need to negotiate to get everything you will lose. I negotiate these purchases all the time.
I ha e some old vehiclea on my property and i was served a notice to remove them.even if its fenced in and on private property.can they do that
Well, can they? They did.
Was it legal?
I haven’t read the reports.
I do not know the locality and therefore I can not know which law applies.
It has been cited for numerous violations
You would need to distinguish between impermissible land use (i.e. the scrap yard being located there against zoning rules) and operating illegally (i.e. being cited for violations). You as an adjacent landowner would likely not have a claim for illegally operating.
Think of it this way:... Read more »
The HOA that I am a member of has restrictive covenants, and no expiration date is listed on the document. The covenants appear to run with the land, as most of the subdivision is still just land, and not many homes are built yet. Are the covenants permanent, or does Tennessee code have something... Read more »
Generally speaking covenants running with the land are perpetual. The Master Deed may have some limitations or the HOA may fall into disarray. They may become unenforceable, but are not rescinded per se, as once they are out there, it is forever. You might try to transfer in violation of them... Read more »
Ive live in my house for over 10 months now. Since moving in i have asked my landlord repeatedly and he has agreed repeatedly, to remove his daughters car from my property and he has not. He is now complaining about us not weed-eating around the car, which we decided not to do, the last time we... Read more »
No. You can write a letter; make a copy of it; send it by certified mail or hand deliver it. The letter should state that the issue with the car, give your landlord 30 days to move the car, and if the car is not moved you will begin to escrow your rent. In thirty days, take a copy of the letter... Read more »
The Ohio club has failed to maintain the barbed wire and it is now falling off the fences and is completely rusted. Our housing complex, which abuts the course, has repeatedly asked for its removal. We are obviously concerned about the danger to children and pets from both the barbs and rust.
Talk to the club, the local building department, or use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney to review the facts and advise of your options.
I would first start by looking at the relevant subdivision documents to see what they provide. Likely, your answer is in those documents.
The whole scenario changed. From sending a bill from their lawyer because of at that time I was replacing my fence and it was installed improperly and( Code Enforcement gave me 6 months to replace my fence ) This year I sent my HOA dues, only to receive back the same envelope, and my check? Sent... Read more »
If you have a question to be answered, please ask it. At the same time please review what you write before you post it so that it is coherent.
Peeking in buildings, campers, garages, they say they have a right on private property w/o your permission and w/o administrative warrant. Actual ordinance says they have a right to inspect all buildings on the property, if they want to. The ordinance inspector says it's legal and the 4th... Read more »
An interesting point. If he sees a violation in plain view---i.e. visible from the street--they can cite the owner. However if they need to get on the property they need to ask permission. They can and should get a warrant. That they didn't is something you should contact the Pennsylvania Civil... Read more »
No known will is in place. And we don't know if annual taxes have been paid on property.
If the property is located in PR and his parents are no longer alive, and he did not leave a will, then the heir will be your mom but the inheritance process will have to be done in order for her to formally become the owner. If the property was his principal residence and he had obtained full... Read more »

He took the chain link fence down 30' that's been up for years without my permission, to bring in bulldozer/grader.for building a drench. he could of taken down his fence since he owns the property . I asked him in... Read more »
You have a Boundary Line Dispute, and actions for Trespass and possible Tort Damages. You probably need a competent attorney to perform title searches on both properties, and may need a boundary line survey. All of this is expensive, and you will probably recover very little but defend your... Read more »
I have a lease from scammer I’ve paid 1000 deposit and 850 first months rent what are my rights can they really make me leave like that
If the police don't force you out, the owner could file criminal trespass charges against you, and also file an eviction against you. Try to work it out so that an eviction and charges are not filed against you, since those are permanent public records, and can make it difficult for you to rent... Read more »
Yes.
My living Grandmother wants to add me to her land deed. I want to build on the land. The land is in Puerto Rico. My granny lives in Florida. She wrote a statement stating her wishes and gave me the actual deed. However, I did not get her statement notarized due to lack of time. What are my next... Read more »
In most places she should execute a new deed from herself to herself and you. But to be sure it's done right yes, get an attorney in Puerto Rico.
Hello.
I'm interested in the question:
If I want to buy a private forest in the United States and build a castle in this forest. What are the limitations?
For example, what laws speak of private forests. If I breed animals in my forests, will these animals be my property or... Read more »
This sounds like a matter that's better suited for sitting down with your architect and attorney to discuss in detail, rather than it is for quick answers on a question and answer board because it's possible you would need to consider environmental, sanitation, conservation, wildlife, and other...
