Renting & Real Estate - December 2006

The current system is flawed, because an agent can make more money by selling your house fast and moving on to the next listing. So the incentive is for them to sell your house faster and for less money. How could we re-structure the system to give the agent fair reward but a stronger incentive?

I live in an apartment complex where the landlord pays for heat and water. I recently left a message with her about the heat. I told her it has been cold in my apartment but the crazy thing about it is that my caretaker who also lives in the bulding says that the heat is on. He also said that she has it on 70 degrees because that what she's paying for.


I was wondering if I called the health department on her would she be able to raise the rent or try to evict me? And even though the heat is on "70" that doesn't mean the apartment is warmed to that temperature does it?

I am a loan officer and I am curious if it is legal for me to advertise and announce that I give good amount of referral fee after I close the transaction to people who recommends my services? I know that if it is a real estate agent it is possible...I'm not sure about people from the mortgage industry if we can do the same ads for referral commision

If a tenant has no lease can I evict him/her for any reason? Can I confiscate property left in the house?

She owes well over 4000... shes at least three months behind. Can I accept some of her property as partial payment and then in turn evict her anyway as long as I dont accept 4000 worth of property? We do not have a written lease...

I have 2 questions.

(1) which bank in india provides the best customer service for home loan ?

(2) could you please tell the home loan interest rate (fixed rate) of HDFC and ICICI bank ?



And finally , let me know the the name of the bank which provides the best customer service after taking a loan.

there has been a lot of bashing on ICICI customer service on home loan.

I wonder if it is at all possible to buy a home in or around Los Angeles for 1500 and under per month for payments?

State of Florida, Broward County
My commercial lease invoice is as follows:
Rent 1500 + 6% tax = $1590
CAM + 6% tax
Insurance + 6% tax
Property Tax + 6% tax
= $490.78

Total "Rent" Payment due $2080.78

Is this right? Can my landlord charge sales tax on insurance and the property tax? Thank you for any help.

I own a home, brought it in 12/04 (2 years to the date) for $242,000, the Appraised Value as it stands is $305,000 so it has appriciated $63000 in 2 years. Our current mortgage is a 30 yr fixed rate for 5.875%. We are looking into getting a 3 year interest only loan with $30,000 out to finish our basement, and pay off our car, and credit card bills. With everything figured out we will be saving around $200.00 per month to invest or save, and adding 800 square feet of liveable space, which increases our value even more. I am having 2nd thoughts about the interest only part. We are at this time planning on selling in the next 2-2.5 years to try to make some money. What should we do?

I am in California. I own a house which has a tenant with a lease until Feb 2007.
I gave the tenant the first right of refusal to buy the house from Feb -March 1st. I did this with a simple statement to this effect and then signed it. She did not sign it. I talked to the tenant today. She does not intend to buy it. She sent an e-mail stating this as well. Does this void my original promise to her? Can I get sued for selling to someone else ?
If so, can I at least put the property on the market, show it or do whatever else is involved in selling, without closing escrow with someone else until after March 1st? No attorney double talk please, just yes or no answers. If you really don't know don't double talk on the answer. Thanks to all ! C
