If my Landlord terminates my lease because of a lease violation ( though I do have proof that the accusation is false) will it hurt my credit? At this point I’m sick of my landlord and their management company and I want to get out.

answered on Jan 31, 2023
It depends on the terms of the lease and the circumstances surrounding as to why you may want to terminate. Most standardized leases have an option that they can collect and attempt to recover damages as a result of the breach of the lease contract. However, it is possible that there are defenses...

What is the procedure now that the appeals court lifted the stay, does a new writ need to be issued, do I get re-served or am I basically going to have the sheriff come anytime now to throw my stuff out, I have movers scheduled day after tomorrow so I don’t need much time but wanted to know if I...

If the stay has been lifted, the original writ can now be enforced by the sheriff. No new writ has to issue or be served. The sheriff will show up when the landlord schedules the writ to be executed. It could be any day now that the stay is lifted.

He wants to take his name off of the deed so I can be 100% titled to house.(He is moving) Can this be accomplished with a quit claim deed? What would be the correct steps to take? Thank you in advance.

answered on Jan 28, 2023
It can but you should see a real estate lawyer to make sure that type of deed is in your best interest. If not done correctly it can cause you more money and trouble than it's worth to save a few dollars. You should also check to make sure it would not accelerate your mortgage and the total...

Yes, that would work. Record the executed deed with the county clerk's office.
I'm in the process of buying a land plot. And the Seller is requesting that I sign a Warranty Deed to him in the event of a default. But the Warranty Deed doesn't include any language about it only being valid in the event of a default. Should the Real Estate Agreement, which specifies... Read more »

No, don't sign the warranty deed. And the agreement probably is not adequate either. A mortgage note secured by a mortgage is the proper way of doing this. You need to consult with an attorney.
There was a problem in our park on New Years where my husband was trying to break up a fight with some residents, those residents turned against us and made reports to management that just was not true. Now they are serving us with a non-renewal. We own our home but rent the lot. We feel... Read more »

answered on Jan 26, 2023
Having been accused of violence in the course of breaking up a fight doesn't sound like discrimination on the basis of being in a suspect category (race, etc.). So, unless the mobile home park's agreement proves otherwise, they can get rid of you.
The Quit Claim Deed has been recorded

Grantee's mailing address is wrong rather than the address of the property conveyed? There's no issue if it was some sort of scriveners error in the address. You can file a corrective deed.

Vanished from where? A lawyer would need to review the deed and your LLC documents to give you advice on this matter. There are not enough facts to even provide general advice.
1. Via violations of my civil rights by not following state statue 720.350 by golf club masters board and attorney advising them to do so.

answered on Jan 24, 2023
Probably four years. See Florida Statute 95.11(3)(f). But you have cited the wrong statute; there is no Florida Statute 720.350. You really need to consult with an attorney for this.

Do you mean Fla. Stat. 720.305? There is no 720.350. The statute of limitations on a claim against a homeowners association for breach of contract is five years. There is not enough information to determine if your civil rights have been violated because you can waive your civil rights by... Read more »

Yes, if your daughter is on title to the property, any judgments against her are also against the property. I have seen cases where the property is lost to the judgments of a child who was placed on title. Also, if she has prior judgments against her, they will have already attached to the... Read more »

You can remove him as an officer (president) by a majority vote of the board but he will still be a director. All business is conducted by a majority vote of the board. No director has more power than any other. A president just has more duties but not more authority.

Maybe. There is no status called separation in Florida. You are either married, or you are not. You should review the matter with your family law attorney. You should also have a real estate attorney represent you in the purchase of the home.
can a 2nd mortgage be taken out on a home before the first mortgage is even paid off and if so is it possible for the first mortgage company to give the deed to the home owner while there is a supposed 2nd mortgage still out there.

answered on Jan 18, 2023
It is possible to take out a second mortgage while a first mortgage is on the house. The deed to the house is delivered to the homeowner regardless of whether the house has mortgage liens on it. It is not the same as a car title where the lender holds the title until it is paid off. To determine... Read more »
There is a huge tree that is about 5 feet away from my townhouse that I own. The tree is owned by the HOA. The tree is causing damage to my property but the HOA refuses to allow me to cut it down.

answered on Jan 16, 2023
If the tree is diseased then, yes, hire an arborist. If the tree is not diseased but causing damage to your property (actual not potential) then you would need to decide if it is worth litigating. You would need to engage in pre-suit mediation first.

answered on Jan 16, 2023
I dont know whether it's legal, but it's extremely inappropriate and if I were applying to rent and the prospective landlord asked me for my bank's user name and password, I'd immediately terminate the application and tell the landlord to take a long walk on a short pier.

The time to challenge the deed has long passed but to be sure you would have to consult a real estate attorney and have evidence your mother was incapacitated and not aware of the consequences of what she was doing, which is unlikely given this happened more than 50 years ago.
