Is there a court order or judgment in place awarding one of you sole residential custody, or sole or final say in major medical decisions, or do you have shared custody or to you share those decisions equally? Is there a custody agreement in place that addresses the issue? You need to review your... View More

The answer is, unfortunately, not really. Landlord's have the right to give notice to a tenant at the end of a lease term. It sounds like you were on a month-to-month lease (correct me if I'm wrong as it would change the case entirely).

However, it's not like they can just... View More

You can always sell the property subject to an existing lease and the new owner must honor the lease terms and any other agreements you made with BRHP. If you want to terminate the tenant's lease and and sell the property without tenants in possession or subject to the terms of any lease or... View More

It might not be possible to reliably predict when a currently file case will make it to trial. As you know there are meaningful delays due to covid and there could potentially be more. It's a financial decision but you may well wish to pay your deductible and let your insurance company try to... View More

Just seeking a bit of clarification here:

Are you asking if the Landlord can choose not to come or asking if the Landlord can refuse to allow the Tenant to be present?

For the former, you could allow an agent to take the place of the Landlord to conduct the walkthrough. For the... View More

The Hicks court opinion (from which the "rule" gets its nickname) only applies to the circuit court criminal rule of procedure that contains the 180 day trial deadline limit, and there is no corresponding 180 day deadline for trial in District Court, so no, the rule only applies in... View More

Although the EEOC has not directly answered the question, it appears vaccine mandates by employers are permissible, subject to some obligation to accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or disability (under the Americans With Disabilities Act) that precludes their vaccination. If an... View More

If she’s mentally competent she can sign a will and powers of attorney (Health Care POA and financial/general) but it gets tricky organizing witnesses and a notary public (for the POA) at a Hospital during covid. It can be done. Contact an experienced attorney who is willing to make Hospital visits.

Write in the addresses that you now remember. Make sure you have both documents and explain what happened at the interview.

Generally, the answer to this question is yes. However, there are two main exceptions: (1) if you have a disability that renders you unable to receive the vaccine; or (2) if you have a religious objection to the vaccine. If you fall under one or both of these, then you are permitted to request an... View More

That's a whole bunch of questions. In regards to the 14 days, if there is danger of imminent damage/harm, then yes, you could go for the 14 day notice.

In regards to will the judge really look at the notice: it depends on the judge, but yes, they should certainly be looking at it.... View More

Generally speaking, the notice requirement is 30 days notice, effective rent due date. If your landlord wants to sell it, that's how much notice he will have to give (ie. May 2021). There is talk of a law prohibiting the giving of notice in MD for a while, but it's unclear whether that... View More

Courts are open, and are handling cases, many by remote video hearings over zoom on the internet or through participation by telephone. Some courts still have in-person hearings. There are no COVID eviction protections for commercial leases.

Assemble all your payment records and income verification and bankruptcy info, which will show your good faith efforts to pay. I do not see you being violated for inability to pay such a large restitution obligation. Nobody gets violated for not having enough money. Your probation should be closed... View More

If this is a commercial lease--not a residential--then give 30 days written notice to vacate (it's month-to-month), or whatever longer period is required by the lease, and when they fail to vacate you file for eviction based on tenant holding over beyond the term of the lease, or immediately...

Need more facts. What, exactly, is the non-disclosure? That warranty repairs were limited to manufacturer warranties? That disputes under the solar panel contract can only be resolved by binding arbitration in Chester County, PA? Or that the solar panels have a balance due with 48 monthly... View More

That sounds very frustrating.

So, provided the 30 day letter was done properly, you would need to file a Tenant Holding Over action with the District Court. This will start the process for eviction. Unfortunately, the Courts are in Phase 2 so there is no guarantee when the courts will hear... View More

The only was an existing child support order can change is if a court issues a new order. The way you get a new order is to file a motion to modify child support based on a change of circumstances. The other parent can consent to the change by agreement, which would make the process go fairly quick... View More

Good evening,

Well, a lot of this depends on the grounds. If the Landlord gave you proper notice to vacate and your lease term is up (ie month to month) then you will almost assuredly lose the case. All the Landlord has to prove is that a) the lease term is up, b) you were given proper... View More

Tallk to your ex. See if you can switch weekends or make it up later. You have to follow the court order but you can work out an arrangement if you both agree.
