Is there anyway that the lease could be void or broken due to the length in time and the long wait period that we are losing for business opportunities?
Your answer likely lies within the lease terms, so you should review your lease carefully. If you're having trouble with that, then seek the assistance of counsel.
If the lease terms offer no guidance or solace, then you could most likely file a claim for breach of contract (since you're... Read more »
A divorcing couple owned two houses. They agreed that Party B would get the better house and Party A would take their small and run-down first house. Party A could not get a mortgage for the property because too little was still owed on the original loan and nobody would write a mortgage for that... Read more »
Party B may want a helicopter too. Should Party A pay for it?
Sounds like Party A is not liable to pay the attorney bill because Party A never contracted with the attorney for legal services . . . but sounds like Party B did. So don't pay it.
Best of luck to you.
This is specifically for the Philadelphia sheriff sales, tax liens as opposed to mortgage foreclosures. Can the homeowner sell the property before it goes to the auction.

If the two persons are not married and they are the only ones named as “Grantees” on the deed, then either may attempt to negotiate to buy out the other’s interest in the house, but if they cannot agree on a price or how to divide the proceeds, they may go to court to have the court... Read more »
In P.A. The landlords need to wait for the time frame they gave in the “notice to Evict”, before going to the court to File a “Writ of Possession. My understand is Yes. If my hunch is right, can you be so kind as to let me know to case laws to look up, please. Thank you
In Pennsylvania, a law called the Landlord/Tenant Act tells landlords what they must do to evict a tenant. The landlord has to follow this law no matter the reason for the eviction. (This law may not apply if you are staying in a rooming or boarding home, or are a guest in a hotel/motel.)
A lawyer would have to review the Will. Generally, if the bequest is specifically limited to the house, since the house would no longer be part of the estate, the bequest becomes meaningless. If, however, the bequest is meant to include the proceeds of sale (which would be unusual), the recipient... Read more »

They all gave us the go ahead. We checked the Lebanon County, PA rules and there were none.

The builder didn’t disclose the deed... Read more »
This, among other reasons, is why people should have lawyers when they buy houses. A competent lawyer would have asked the title company for copies of the restrictions, and you would have then known what they were. However, you may have a legitimate beef with your title company for not providing... Read more »

I'll be frank with you: if you want an experienced attorney to review a contract for you, you're going to have to pay for his/her time to do so. Probably a few hundred dollars when all is said and done -- and well worth it to have competent legal advice. I'd be surprised if any attorney here... Read more »

Sounds like your problem is that you don't have a written lease - and that's why you have unanswered questions. A written lease will explicitly set out the lease term (when it starts, and ends, and for how long). A written lease will also determine on what date your rent is due, and what security...

If the deed is still in your mothers name, she will have to go through the courts to transfer title to anyone else. You may also file an action to have the title be placed in the proper intestate heirs names.
