Moved out June 24 (pennsylvania). Move out date was June30 (was doing my landlord a favor so she can re-do bathroom.)

Called her July 17 and she says she is not giving any of my security deposit ($1000) because the 60days prior to my moveout, the apt was "filthy" (I procrastinate laundry/dishes/vacuuming when work gets busy). When I moved out, I got the apt professionally cleaned - it was pristine.

Can she do this!?? She never even mentioned to me that she cannot show the apt because it was "filthy" until July 17!

Thanks!

We have owned our home for 6 years and have put in over $150K into the house in improvements. There is a brand new 2nd story addition, new windows, new siding, new roof, new deck, new driveway, and a new kitchen. We have done all the things realtors tell you to do in order to sell and nothing has worked. Not even baking bread before potential buyers come over. We live in the suburbs of Chicago, in a good neighborhood, very close to a good grade school and on a very quiet street.

We have also lowered our price to a basically "break even" point. So its not like were trying to make a bunch of money.

So why won't this house sell?

Swap for a home?

I have a brand new house that is in the Orlando market which is over saturated with investor's now flipping their home. I relocated to Jacksonville and was thinking of just trying to swap for a home in Jacksonville with someone that is relocating to Orlando.

What is the best way to reach people that would be willing to swap properties?

I've asked my landlord to complete a move out inspection with me, after I've moved everything out of the unit. Yet he insists he will do the inspection ALONE and notify me later regarding repairs ect.

Are pictures enough? Who could I get to walk thru with me, that is neutral? A friend or relative may not make good witnesses if it gets to that point. I have good reasons for wanting to cover my tracks, but I won't go into that here.

Ok, I have applied for a sonyma mortgage in New York state and I was wondering how long it takes to actually receive a commitment letter stating that they will fund you or not. (My banker who is licensed to do sonyma mortgages just sent out the package with all our tax statements, income, dirvers lisc, ect) to them..Via fed ex...but I am so anxious as to how long this is going to take? The offer is already in for our home and our banker said we should close within 30-45 days but I heard they move like slugs at sonyma. I just want to be able to foresee any unknown delays or experiences anyone has had with them/ and or if you know the process going forward from here? Thanks a bunch....and please no smart answers. Thank you kindly

My mom and I were talking today about home buying vs home building. My mom thinks it's a great idea to buy land now and then talk to a Contractor about the type of home I want to build (which is a good idea). Because I am undecided whether I want to buy or build, I suggested to go to a contractor first, get an estimate on how much the home plan I am interested in (assuming that I already have the land). will cost. The reason I don't want to buy land now is I am not sure if I could build a home on it because the cost of housing in my area is going up tremendously. Which one do you think is a better idea?

A friend of mine is in a unique position to have his house (mortgage) paid off by his parents. Question is, will there be any tax issues?

If my friend makes monthly payments to his parents (that is, should his folks essentially become the mortgage company), would this allow a way to legally avoid tax (or other) financial penalties?

I have a 1 year lease. I have been here for 6 months and I am always on time with the rent. I rented the apt. telling the landlord I needed a quiet place and this has been anything but.I wrote him and talked eye to eye, most of those college students and their loud parties left, except one and now all is quiet, however I decided to transfer to another state some time back and this was a partial reason why.Can I get the deposit back as well do not be concerned for any more rents? As well there is no bedroom a/c as he said it would cool from the bottom unit and I wrote him of that and no reply and can't sleep there. PS; I am no kid.

I recently transfered to a new city to go to school. I will be graduating in December. I now live with my Father, but plan to move out no later than 3 months after graduation. I want to start saving, now for an apartment so that when the time comes, I can be all set.
The monthly rent is no problem. I don't want to pay no more than $400-500/month not including utlities. I am still not sure if I want a room mate or not, but I think that would be easier since I plan to go back to school in about a year.
Is there a set amount that I should perhaps aim to save b my deadline?
For example, I was told to save up at least 3 months rent before thinking about sasving for furniture and things like that.
Other things I may need to save up for: furniture, utlities, luxuries(cable, internet), appliances, kitchen ware...etc.

I'm considering buying a property that has gone up about about 50,000 dollars in the last 6 months. It's a studio apartment with the W hotel chain. They increased there prices by 50, 000 dollars per unit. The project will not be done until 2009. They say they will increase there prices by another 50,000 by year end. The price of the unit is 558,000 and it about 525 square feet. Should I take the risk?
