My father is trying to kick me out of the house because he wants to divorce my mom and bring in another woman. I want to stop him from potentially letting that woman take all of the property before hand.

The short answer is you have no equity rights in your parents home. The longer answer is that this is a fight between your mother and your father over assets, support, etc as part of their divorce.

You can continue to live in the apartment month-to-month, however, the landlord may eventually move for eviction for your failure to sign a new lease. Or you can negotiate with your landlord for that provision.
And with the pandemic going on what does the law say about that?
answered on Apr 16, 2020
Month to month is just that. When you give notice a month in advance, you move out at the end of the time when you said you were going to move.

No, it does not, that is called a scrivener's error. The doctrine of a "scrivener's error" is the legal principle that a map-drafting or typographical error in a written contract may be corrected by oral evidence if the evidence is clear, convincing, and precise. So it is valid as is.

When a foreclosure complaint is filed, any one who either owns a property, or who has a potential equitable interest in the property, will be listed on the foreclosure complaint. A quitclaim deed is not worth the paper it is printed on and will not change anything. What is on his credit report is... View More

You probably have either a trust/estate or a partnership. So you should be receiving a k-1 from either a 1041 or a 1065.
You should get that looked at since not filing properly can create a lot of penalties.

My mom changed her will to leave her the money. 2 questions. Can we close without a Tax Waiver and how much effort do we need to put into finding the... View More
answered on Jan 21, 2020
The short answer is that the tax waiver will be required. Based on the fact that $28,500 is passing to a class D beneficiary, you cannot file an NJ Form L-9 – Affidavit for Real Property Tax Waiver. Instead, you must file an inheritance tax return and upon its completion, you will receive a tax... View More

You will need an attorney to help you file a summary dispossession complaint in the Special Civil Part - Landlord /Tenant section - in the county in which the premises are located. This is the proper legal way to remove the current the tenant without resorting to self help.

I would not get a realtor to help you draft a good lease for your new rental property. It is in my opinion that you consult with a qualified attorney whom has experience with Landlord-Tenant issues, so they may draft you a lease that is good for your needs! Best of luck!

Do you seriously believe a Court will want to get involved in this matter? I can understand that a dog is almost like a child, but a Judge may not be so tolerant. Perhaps you could give you ex a different dog to try to work this out?
