How long do they have to contact me?
Did you tell landlord about it? If the apartment is not habitable, then you must move out.

Lost 300k in last 10 years for this crime
It is illegal for the casino to rig games in a way specific to some individual or jackpot, yes. But, the games are rigged the regular old legal way so any long time player is bound to be a loser. Look at the machines. They actually say on them things like "This slot pays out 97% of all wagers,"... Read more »
I am purchasing a house in Findlay, OH.The title company said that they will not be able to accept a check in $10,5000 since the state of Ohio
has what’s called the “Good Funds Law”. This law requires that any funds greater than $10,000 be electronically wired to title company.... Read more »
It is required in Ohio, as the title company has advised you. Check with your bank about the process and the security. The title company will provide wire transfer instructions.
Property manager for fraudulent activity. We have tried every resource possible to find help with the rent and have yet to get any help. My husband and I are both on Social Security disability and we don't know what to do
If you cannot work it out with the landlord, and if rent has not been paid, then the landlord probably can get the eviction. Contact your local senior services agencies, and local housing assistance agencies for help finding a place. And definitely get a new bank.
even though the grantor did not pay for driveway installation
It depends on the wording of the easement that was signed by grantor and recorded in the county records. But typically, the easement is non-exclusive, and the grantor can continue to use the easement area along with the grantee. So if grantee installs a driveway in the easement area, grantor can...

The daughter did not pay so I started paying the loan because I did not wish to hurt the family any more than they were from losing they're mother. I have been paying this for 5 years now. Am i responsible for this loan? Or can I get out of it?
If you did not sign, you are not responsible. But you might have to go to court to try to prove your signature was fraudulently made on the loan documents.
The city I live in replaced all the main sewer lines this past summer about 8 months ago. Since then, three houses in a row, including mine, have experienced ruptured pipes on our properties. Other homeowners on the street and other streets have experienced the same thing.
Two homeowners... Read more »
The neighbors should band together and hire an engineer to inspect and determine a cause for the problem, then the neighbors can retain an attorney to review the situation, talk with the city, and try to find a resolution.
In which court would I file a successor liability suit for a lifetime basement waterproofing warranty that came from a company that is now defunct. The former owner now owns a new, unrelated company that works to fix bowing foundation walls. He used to own a waterproofing business. Thanks!
Small claims court for a claim up to $6000, or municipal court up to $15,000. Over that - Common Pleas Court.
I filed a motion to have my case moved out of the courts and into arbitration as the contract dispute that I'm involved in says that any disputes must be resolved in arbitration. I noticed after reading over my motion that I made some minor errors mostly clerical errors. Can I just file an amended... Read more »
You can file an amended motion. Although, for typos and the like it isn't really necessary. You generally file a motion for leave to amend with the amended motion attached.
Divided. My share is applied to the house, the remainder is split 3 ways. I have closed on the home loan and the title has been issued in my name. One of my siblings lives in the house with her husband, adult child, 3 grandkids and 4 cats. They are refusing to leave or look for any type of housing... Read more »
If the home has been conveyed to you from the estate, and you are now the owner, then you can evict your sister. If there is no lease, then she is a month to month tenant, which can be terminated by either landlord or tenant at the end of any month by giving 30 days written notice. Notice given... Read more »
I plan to file Bankruptcy Chapter 7 soon. A company has filed the lawsuit against me and is not the original creditor. They bought the debt from the original creditor. Can I still add this to my bankruptcy? and if so, who do I list (the original or the purchaser or both)?
Yes you can add them, and I would list both the original creditor and the person that purchased the debt
Did you take out a loan with outrageous and possibly unlawful terms?
Me and my friend were supposed to be Christmas shopping . We had separate places to shop so I went in one store and she went in another. She decides to steal (I had no idea) and she goes out to my car and get caught. The police come and tow my car. As I come out they're pulling off with my car .... Read more »

I bought a memory foam mattress about a year ago and now have fiberglass everywhere! All my clothes, sheets, towels, blankets and pillows are covered. Also my daughter just got diagnosed with asthma. Everything I have read is that I need to just throw everything away. I can not afford to do that.... Read more »
Look at the label. Does it say fibreglass? Are you sure it's what it is? Did you save samples from the dryer?
Bottom line is that it shouldn't be fiibreglass--and the label is inaccurate if it says otherwise so you have a consumer grievance .
Second, to determine if it is the... Read more »
We broke up in March and have been fine until last weekend. He said he has rights to my car and is trying to take it from me. He’s said he’s filing paperwork to try to take the car from me. I’ve never missed a payment and he’s never had to pay it. My name is on the title and registration.... Read more »
He is trying to bully you. Ignore him. If his name is not on the title, he has no rights to it. If he takes it, call the police and report it stolen by him. If he signed the loan, his obligation is to pay the loan, but that does not give him any rights in the car if his name is not on the... Read more »
He's my ex. I have never missed a payment. His reasoning is that he doesn't wanna deal with me anymore. His name isn't on my title or registration. He said he has rights to my car and is going to have it towed to his house. We broke up in March and have been completely fine up until last night.
Ex what? Ex boyfriend? If the car is not subject to a division of property in a divorce, and if only your name is on the vehicle title, and his name is not, then he has no rights to your car at all. Tell him if he has it towed, you will sue him for the towing, and report it to the police as car... Read more »
