Default may be defined by your land installment agreement. Assuming for a moment it is not, it would be any failure by a patch to fulfill a duty under that agreement.

The mail boxes old and the lock system is now broken so the mail carriers can not open it to deliver our mail. It has been 3 weeks! Does the owners of the park have to fix this and how long do they have?

This would depend entirely on your agreement with trailer park. Trailer parks so not fall under the landlord tenant act unless you are renting the trailer rather than just the lot.
I am making an offer on a property and this is stated on the offer contract
answered on Apr 25, 2023
The parties to a contract are free to make whatever terms they like (within reason). How you split up the various fees involved in a property sale is a matter that can be negotiated. If you sign an agreement that says you are responsible for a fee, you should expect to pay it.
My mom and dad got divorced in 2005 and decided the house would go to me or my dad had to sell it and split the profits.

Most fraud has a statute of limitations date of four years from the date of discovery. It sounds like you are well past the statute of limitations to contest the fraudulent deed.

It's less about paperwork and more about use. If no one is actually utilizing the HOA, then a strong argument can be made that the restrictions and provisions of the HOA no longer apply.

They are removing the woods between us exposing our privacy. What rights to do we to protect our privacy ?. And what happens if these new townhouses block our well water or contaminate it?
answered on Feb 6, 2023

He can quitclaim deed the property from himself to both of you with survivorship rights. If he's not willing to sign a quitclaim deed, then it gets more complicated.
The new deed contains express language that I do intend to preserve the survivorship tenant rights, rather than severing those rights.

The easier thing to do would just be to include new survivorship language in the deed. Don't overcomplicate things.

My parents sold the house and now there are new owners and I don't know when I have to be out and don't know any rights I have
answered on Oct 10, 2022
If you had a written lease with your parents, the new owner must honor that. If there was no lease, then you are a month to month tenant, and the new owner can offer you a new lease, or terminate your occupancy by giving you 30 days' written notice.

The divorce will divide assets, equity, and debts between the spouses, to determine who gets what and who pays what. A Quit Claim Deed would not be effective until after the divorce has been finalized by the court. Talk to your divorce attorney about it, or use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a... View More
