We have a rental house that the tenants told us they had put the utitlities in their own name before they moved in. They didn't do it until they had been there nearly 2 weeks, then they moved out and didn't even tell us. Anything I can say to them as I can call them at work, and make them pay?

Back in June my boyfriend and I signed a one year lease on a house. We are both applicants on the lease. In October we split up and he called our landlord. The landlord has now given me a sixty day notice to move and says that he rented to us as a couple and since we broke up this null and voids our lease. I am still apying my half of the bills including rent and have done nothing to break my lease that i know of. I wish to move yet housing in my area is hard to come by and intill I find a new home why should i have to move. Room-mates with the ex is hard enough but being homeless, well thats not right , is it?

I have had mice problems since I have moved in here last year. The complex would send out pest control who would set out traps but this wouldn't take care of the problems. Finally after I had gotten real rude and threatened to leave they sent out pest control who put poison down. This seems to have taken care of the problem so far but the thing is I am afraid that the mice will come back. My daughter is walking now and I don't want to take a chance of her running into a mouse. When I first complained management told me that I was the only one who complained so it didn't seem to be much of a problem. When I asked other tenants about mice they said that they had seen a few but they didn't want to cause problems so they didn't want to say anything. When I first complained and they ignored me I sent a certified letter to them to make sure that they had got the letter so I have evidence of my complaints (also letters from them addressing my problems) but they won't let me leave.

Hi! My husband and I are trying to move to Arizona in the next year and buy a house. This will be my first home. We both work full time jobs in California now. Any home loan advisors out there? Can you tell me how I can get approved/pre-approved for a full 30-40 year home loan when we have not yet gotten new jobs in the state we're planning on moving? One thing I heard is if we plan to rent out the property, then we can get approved for a loan. Please help!

We live in a neighborhood that is a homeowners association and part of a country club community. Thus we pay homeowners dues, and several people who recently bought homes were told that they were NOT a part of this association and they would NOT have to pay dues, but after they moved in were sent a bill for dues. I believe this falls under some realty law fraud. My MAIN question is do we have a right to see where the money from our dues GOES? Because it sure isn't going into our roads, which have potholes that rival the Grand Canyon, and it's really tearing up people's cars (tires, alignment, etc). Some of us younger people who don't much about it want to know what rights we have without making too many waves yet.
Please help. Thanks.

I moved out of the apartment 2 month earlier than my lease and I paid
off my rent up front. But my utility bills still comes for these two
months. My water bill is through the landlord, so I understand I may
have to pay until the end of the lease because they may have some kind of contracts. But for electricity bill, it is a different issue. I opened account with local utility when I moved in and closed when I moved out. I do not understand why my landload turned on the electricity after I left and still asked me to pay for that period.

What should I do? Thanks.

I think real estate agents are just grossly overpaid for the kind of work they do, and it's an industry where not every agent gets fairly paid. Too much wealth is concentrated on too few agents. It's time for the government to correct the % of commissions to agents given the high value of properties these days, and to regulate the number of properties each agent can buy/ sell in order to give all real estate agents fair opportunities.

New development phase is low-income. Some people may qualify for assistance thru the local government for help with the down payment or closing costs... however, only half of the neighborhood is considered receiving the subsidy..everyone else is a straight-up purchase with no help.

I'm curious if anyone has experience purchasing this way - and if so - how did that help or hurt the resell value?

After looking into buying our first house found out repayments on a mortgage would be £750.00 a month on a average price house, so looks like going to stay renting... and maybe keep on renting to see in the next few years if there is going to be a correction in the housing market, on sites on the internet they say prices of houses will go down over the next 4 years, makes you wonder if we are on the verge of another house crash?? the prices are astronomical at the moment.. what do you think??

We bought our home a year and a half ago and got an 80-20 loan. Then last February we refinanced our 2nd mortgage (the 20 percent loan) to pay off our credit cards, etc. It was a HELOC. Then my husband lost his job and was unemployed for almost 4 months. Even with his new job we are not making enough money to pay everything. We live in Washington State and we can't file bankrupcy because we did that 4 years ago and I'm hoping there's some way we can keep the house? Our credit rating sucks now and we cant refi because were maxed on what we can borrow agenst the house. So here's my question: What would happen if we stopped making payments on the 2nd mortgage but kept up on the 1st? Would we still loose the house? Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

O.K. my curiosity is piqued, what is this house flipping all about? Something tells me its a little more than buying low and selling high. Is this mortgage buying from banks? Am I on the right track? I would really like to know some specifics about this topic.

Let's say the closing date is Feb 22. How long can the seller stay in the house? After closing, if they choose to stay for a period of time, am I considered the landlord?
