Renting & Real Estate - December 2006

My next door neighbor will not turn down loud music but expects me to get rid of my surround sound system. I have contacted her with no response, I have contacted her land lord and he refused to say anything to her, and the local police will not do anything. What can I do? Is there anything in the laws about a landlord being responisble for his tenants?

I am a first time homebuyer. I am about to put an offer in on a house that is kind of a lowball offer. I am willing to go up $25K more max if need be, do I tell my agent (he's a buyers agent working for me) that I am willing to go up, or should I keep this vague?
Thanks

Is it true in the state of PA, that a landlord have to charge 10% of your on late fees. On my lease rent is due on the first of each month and after the 4th it's late and you have to pay $55, and after that each day on have to pay $15 for each day your late. I know that's it's alot but I signed the lease. I'm moving early next year so I can't wait to leave.

I live in Atlanta and I am going to be taking a 6-12 month contract in another state. I have a nice 3 bedroom home 2.5 bathroom home about 12 miles from downtown (in the suburbs) but it is not in an attraction area nor is it set up like a vacation home. I don't want my home to just sit idel for that long period of time and I don't want to sell it because I will be coming back to town once a month and at the end of the contract, I will be moving back in it. I am worried about renting it out for fear of someone tearing it up but I may have to do this. What shoudl I do with it? Should I try to rent it out weekly as a vacation home? Any other suggestions?

My husband and I are wanting to buy a new home and some ground out in the country. I really want a new house and out in the country so bad I can taste it but if we buy a newre home it means my husband will have to stay at his current job working 12 hour shifts only off every 3rd weekend he wants to get a job were he is off every weekend he misses the kids and we dont see much of each other. He has been looking for a new job getting day shift and off every weekend but so far his job offers arent very good. If we get this new home he loses all chances of having the job he wants and if he finds the job he wants he has to at least make around the same amount money to pay for it. I dont know what to do I want it so bad but I dont want him being miserable working all the time to get it. I cant help out he makes to much money and says the money I make he will have to pay on it at the end of the year. What should I do any advice?

I bought my own place about a year ago and recently did a termite inspection. I don't have any termites... WHOO HOOO! but they found water rot and in some places of the exterior. The property is a condo with a HOA. HOA has a hazard insurance and I also have insurance on the interior. Who is responsible to fix the rot? HOA or me?

My ex was ~supposed~ to take my name off of the home mortgage loan in April and has failed to do so. I just found out that I could have the option to take over the house since my name is still on it, but he hasn't made payment in MONTHS. How can I find out if it's already gone from foreclosure to Sheriffs Sale?

My boyfriend and I rented ( 1 year lease) and signed seperate leases. Now we split and still live togeter. He agreed at the beginning to pay for all bills and I would buy food and christmas gifts for every one. Now with only one weeks notice he wants me to pay half the rent and pay him back for all the deposits and utilities.
I think it is fair that I pay half the rent but he hasn't givin me enough time to collect the money for it, as rent is due now. I have to return the presents for his family that I bought to help pay my rent. I don't think it is fair that he asks me to pay back the deposits and past rent that he offered to pay for in the begining.
Any attorneys out there with a legal answer and other opinions would help.
Thank you!

My husband and I may have a chance to take on my former marital home from my ex-husband since he stopped paying the mortgage and my name is legally still on it. It is not in a great area, and he has let it fall into serious disrepair. The choices are to either take it on and repair it to make it liveable for us and our kids, or to let it go into foreclosure and still be liable for the balance financially. Taking on the mortgage would save us money in rent (about $500 per month), but we have little liquid money to work with in a repair capacity. What additional concerns should we look out for and what would make this a smart thing to take on?

This lender made a mistake on the closing papers. New documents needed to be signed and I was told that I was going to have to wait another 5 days for my check. I am now going on 10 days. I can't believe this is a federal law. Oh, the change amounted to changes on 2 pages (changing February to January) but they said all the documents had to be redone. So their mistake has cost me money (but I bet they are making interest money on mine) HELP!
