the landlord states that we would have to pay a transfer fee of $375. to transfer. this fee should be waived due to this being a medically necessary transfer. I have a copy of the fair housing policy that states that a landlord cannot refuse to make accomodations to the rules, and policies or services if necessary for the disabled person to use the housing. Any advice as to what we can and should do in this action?

It is post foreclosure, meaning the bank owns it. It sold for 43k in '98, it then sold for 32k in '03. It is in a depressed area of the city, but even then the average home price here is 50k.

The asking price is 12k. The area has potential of $500/month in rent. It will be a rental after 2-3 years. It need some plumbing work, carpet, central heat/cooling and paint.

We're paying for everything with cash. What is a good price to offer the bank?

Im wanting to go back to college, but you have to fill out your parent's tax stuff on the FAFSA. Thus making me ineligible for grants, even though they live in another state and have for over a year.

I have been living with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. This year, I worked part time Jan & Feb. I didnt work March-Mid August. He has been working full time. I will start working about 20-30 hours a week now.

Can he claim me as a dependant? If so, should I put "0" under my W2 and he puts "2"?
