Payments not late. 22k payoff. She's on social security disability.
A big problem as Pennsylvania doesn't recognize common law marriage. Also, that wouldn't even apply if they didn't hold themselves out as husband and wife. In whose name is the property? If it's in the partner's name, the property goes to his estate.
Did he have a... Read more »

You don’t say what the buyer has done to “threaten” to sue you, so I can’t address that. There isn’t anything for you to do unless and until the buyer files a lawsuit against you. In the mean time, don’t reply to any emails, voicemails, phone calls, text messages or to anything on... Read more »
They found us "temporary" apartments, twice, and they swore that this money they took from us was going into a down payment for the house we purchase. I have ALL the emails and texts messages with the bull they put us through and all the lies they told. I don't have any of the phone... Read more »

We are purchasing a property on Wednesday. The previous tenants were friends of the owner but had a falling out.

You can decide not to go through with the sale if your agreement of sale says the seller has to get rid of stuff. Or you can ask for an adjustment in price because you have to get someone to haul off the cars. You need to have the seller state that he has notified them and accepts any claim the... Read more »

You need to speak with a domestic relations attorney in your county. They can best advise you as to your options.
Owner agreed to extend lease for another year via email and then texted 2 weeks later stating that they will only extend for another six months even though they promised to extend for an additional year.
Unless they had formally contracted with you I don't see a claim to holding them to a year. If the six months meet your terms and you want to stay, sign the six months and look for a place.
Plus, shouldn't there be interest accrued in 37 years?
You should send a written request, certified return receipt requested.
If you don't get it you have both an administrative and a court remedy.
Best of luck!
Mr Avery has provided you perfect advice.
I would add only that both Pennsylvania and Florida have seen an extraordinary rise in the number of fraudulent deeds, so don’t be surprised if the acknowledgment and recording processes have new, strict rules.
If the property is... Read more »

Allegheny county
To complete a "short sale", you need to procure the consent of the mortgage holders. Both of them, because your buyer will want to take legal title free of all liens and encumbrances. In other words, you need to persuade both lenders that the best way for them to be repaid is from a... Read more »
I called Realtor B and was told her house should be worth "in the $120,000s". My mother promptly called and cancelled the original listing. (they agreed) Realtor A hadn't yet taken any pictures or even put the listing in the MLS. My mother listed with Realtor B for $124,900. The... Read more »
you need to read the agreement. Unless it was formally terminated, she cant just switch without consequences. The second broker should have asked her/you whether you had a previous listing, and made arrangements. So start with #2 broker.
Buy seeing she in bankruptcy
Right now while the seller is in a five year plan chapter 13 bankruptcy is not the time for her to sell her real property.

Talk to your realtor. I would say it was sold as is, and if it goes down after it's in their hands it's their repair.
I have reached out multiple times to the leasing office, but they have not helped. It's becoming unlivable for me - giving me a constant headache - and the smell is seeping into my furniture and clothes. What can I do?
Your best bet is probably to move at the end of your lease. If your lease goes for an extended period, see if the landlord will allow you to leave early without a penalty.
I am entering a mortgage with my girlfriend, who solely put down the deposit on the house we are getting. I am on the mortgage only because my income was needed.
