Originally 3 housemates on the lease in the home, one moved 2/3 way through lease and we sublet temporarily to someone. Lease is up in 6 weeks and we are giving the house up, however the temp roomie is using meth and we would like to evict, so wondering what my options are.
answered on May 17, 2018
Not enough info here to know. Is subletting allowed by your lease (most do not allow it)? Who does this person pay her share of the rent to - the landlord or one of you roommates? IF she truly is just a co-tenants, you have no right to terminate her tenancy or evict you, anymore than she has the... View More

You should be able to contact the attorney responsible for sending the subpoena and the court that granted it to verify its accuracy. You should consider retaining your own attorney to help determine what document should be produced.
Judge refused a setover after 2 snow days and 2 of 3 witnesses not able to attend due to closures of school. what form do I use to vacate and set aside the default judgment?
answered on Feb 25, 2018
You need to file a motion and order to set aside the default. I don't think there are forms for that. You can also file a new motion to modify parenting time but the Judge may dismiss it stating that the matter has already been ruled on, but the other side would have to ask for a dismissal...

I am not sure what your legal question is. The appraisal at a given point in time has nothing to do with the value at any other point it time. An appraiser is supposed to give you their professional opinion of a value of real estate on a certain date. You can always testify and give your opinion... View More

You need to contact a probate lawyer. A probate lawyer can help you even if the estate isn't going through a formal court probate as this type of lawyer handles all cases where someone dies and the survivors need help with the decedent's final financial affairs.

answered on Aug 31, 2017
If this fellow is still owed money for work he has performed on the truck, then he has a mechanic's lien on the truck and can keep it as collateral until he is paid in full. Then he has to release it, but technically only to the Personal Representative or Claiming Affiant of your... View More

If you father does not live in your house, isn't driving your car, and isn't listed on your car insurance, I don't think you have any legal ties to him such that the damages for an accident he causes will come back on you. The indirect financial problem would be that if he causes an... View More

Leases are contracts so the terms of you contract should govern what the consequences are of breaking your lease. If the contract doesn't specify you and your leasing agent should agree on something, but within 30 days would be reasonable, although not necessarily a rule. What you don't... View More
