i am a first time landlord. i found a tenant and signed a lease. upon signing the lease the tenant told me that she would mail out a check the next day for the security deposit and the first months rent. it has been a 3 days since she told me that and i still not have received the check. her lease term begins january 1st so she has not moved in yet nor have i given her the keys yet. the lease states that the first month's rent is due when the lease is signed. techically she is 3 days late and is in default of the lease. the fact that the tenant is late with her very first rent payment concerns me. can i terminate the lease and find a new tenant?

I took care of her for the past 10 years. She passed in June. My son and I have nowhere to go - nowhere. I never paid rent bcause they needed me to care for her 24/7 - she was very disabled. We never had an agreement - I just lived here forever and started taking care of her 10 years ago. He is the administrator of her stuff BUT the house is in probate for lack of a will. He just came over to give me an eviction notice - in the middle of winter - knowing I have NO resources, a child, etc.
I signed it but I told him I wasnt leaving bcuz i had nowhere to go.
Can he do that? legally ?
Do I have to go?
Can a cop come make me leave or does it have to go through a court?
This is Richmond Virginia

Today I received a mail saying that if I used my debit card/credit card overseas between 1996 and 2006, I am entitled to money from a class action suit due to transaction/conversion fees. My gut tells me it's a scam, so I did some research, and I'm still not convinced because these people are asking for my bank account number to process my claim. Can anyone tell me if they received this letter as well, and did you find that it was actually legit?? (I spent a good total of 2 years overseas during the period mentioned) ---They have a website ccfsettlement.com, but that doesn't mean anything, it can still be a rotten scam. Thanks!

I am at the mercy of a very slow alertpay money order transaction because I can't use my credit card with them.
They only allow credit card transactions for certain countries.

Although Paypal works well for me, they don't transfer cash to E-gold like Alertpay does.

I am 15 and know about stocks. I was looking for a stock with a high rate of return on capital for a good price. During the duration of period when I am working, I am considering the option of a margin loan for anywhere between $1,000 and $5,000 to invest in the stock market. Since my age is that not of 18 I am forced to have a parent co-sign it. I am just wondering if my plan is a good idea or if anybody has a different method to share I would be grateful.

Thanks

I'm pretty new to the whole credit card thing. I currently have a WaMu credit card that is interest free until January 2008. In January, the APR will be Prime Rate + 23.74% . My balance as of right now is $1269.69, but should be around $1000.00 by January. What I want to know is how much interest will I most likely pay during January & February. I'm using our tax refund to pay the balance off in whole - not the best for credit, I know. Thanks!

Hi, I am a non-resident & non-citizen; have built a house and use as my only home when in the states. I & my fiansee plan to live out of the USA for about two years. Concerned about loss of benifits regarding capitol gains up to 250,000. So, if I rent-out the hose to an friend or whoever, and move back in two years and live in my home, because I am not a company can I still sell the house and qualify for the capitol gains program? And can I live in the house a year and then sell and still qualify for the no taxes up to $250,000.? Also, as an individual, we built the house ourselves. The market is down now but the cost of building and the sell price, the differance is what the taxes are based on. Right?
