My boyfriend & I went to an open house for an apartment. The building manager follows the policy of "first come first serve". We were the first ones there, so she said that she would look over our info first & if our references & credit check out fine, we would be given the place. If not, she would move on to the next person that arrived that day.

Both of us have really good credit & references so we were never concerned about that. The next day she asked for our security deposit checks so we came over to give her them & then she let us in to the place so we could take measurements for our furniture.

2 days later she told us that the owner decided to give the unit to a friend of a tenant, but we could have another unit in the building that was opening (a MUCH smaller one on the first floor). Because we had already gone through the process of applying & giving our checks, isn't it already ours?
Is there ANY way to dispute this or any legal grounds that cover our side??

I wanted to buy a house that is 3 stories with a finished basement. I wanted to renovate it so I could make a bunch of smaller rooms ( get rid of the living room, dining room, make the basement 3 rooms etc) and rent it out. The place is near public transit, a huge university, and there are alot of factories that are on route near the street I'm buying the house at.

Now to do this, I'm taking out a huge mortgage, about 380 000 and I hope to make money so to pay off the monthly payments and to have extra cash as well. I could probably fit around ten people in the house. charge 600 bucks each. What do u guys think. Am I breaking any major laws. Can my renters screw me over, and any thing else you think I'd find useful. Thanks in advance

After the first rate cut this year, stocks shot up. Why did it drop so much this time? Why arent investors happy about the rate cut and want to invest more?

I recently discovered that I have been overpaying my health benefits by double for 2 years now? The company I work for is going to be giving me a refund but said they are going to take taxes out of it. My feeling is, if anything they need to pay ME for all the taxes I have paid on it in the first place. They screwed up and are now going to try and double tax me on money I should have never paid in the first place. Is it legal for them to tax me on the refund and should they have to refund the money I have already paid in taxes? Thanks for any help!!

I live in Los Angeles,CA and I am in a rent control area. I have a few issues. 1. I live in a second story of a house that is converted to a 1 bedroom and a kitchen is added all illegal. 2. I have a contract from 12/2005 that stats my rent is $1000 a month including utilities but the contract is only signed and initialed by me. The landlord has not signed it but emailed me a copy of it. 3. The landlord wants to raise my rent to $1300 a month. 4. I live in a rent controled area which limits how much rent can be raised.
I would like to know if I could sue them for raising my rent and pay for my moving fees. Also, the unit is not legal and im sure they do not show the goverment the deposits we make into their account. Also, they change their bank account number about 2 times a year. I want to know what my options are as a person who has paid rent on time, and have check stubs.

Your help is much appreciated. Please only answer if you are a professional or have experience.

Thanks.

I have 5 months left on a year long lease. I want to move out. I understand that I signed the lease and I have a cosigner. Is there any law in the state of pennsylvania that would allow me to remove myself from a rental lease? I would be willing to pay a penalty. At this point I am looking at paying for 5 months rent up front and just leaving the property. If there is any chance I could pay less then the full amount that would be fantastic. I just don't want to be sued by my landlord or the other individuals who signed the lease. Please HELP!

I got a call saying the owner of the house was in town and wants to do a "5 minute walk through" because "he hasn't seen the property in awhile" and they set up a time giving me the proper 24 hours notice and all that. Questions: Is this normal? Or do they usually do this if they think we're some kind of delinquents? Is there anything specifically I should make sure is clean or anything else I should know before they come over? We're not doing anything illegal in the house...but we've had issues with the property managers in the past and I'm scared that they're looking for any reason to kick us out because we tried to stand up for our rights before. But this is supposed to just be the owner...so I don't know! Any advice would be helpful!

If I am having problems working with my IRS auditor would I be better off pushing the file to appeals court? Does it look bad for an auditor not to close out the file. Just looking for some helpful hints to use to get the auditor to work with me.
