I want to move into a new apartment but I know their will be a credit check and I dont have great credit(I know I have a charge-off), but I can definitely pay my share of the rent its only $400/month. What can I do to persuade the landlord I should be in that apartment?

I am moving into an apartment in a week, but as we all know apartments don't have much room in them for everything. I have a lot of things, but i know they will not all fit so i am renting out a storage. I need to know if there is any advice about how to make more space, or anything i need to remember to get before i move in that would help out? What things should i make sure to keep out, and what won't be needed until i get a house?

My neighbor is being evicted and we have been offered his apartment. We have different landlords. My landlord since signing a lease has shown me that he is not prompt about fixing anything. In fact the only thing he is prompt about is collecting the rent. He has made comments that I find very inappropriate. We consistently pay our rent on time and in fact have never been late. We are not happy with our apartment. I have not been able to use my bathroom sink for over a month. Now he recently raised the rent because of the addition of the washer and dryer, but they are not working either. My neighbors landlord is a really great guy. He is friendly, fixes things ina timely manner, and is flexible. The neighbor's apartment is bigger but if I move now I will lose my deposit on my current apartment. My other neighbor suggested i move without paying the last months rent and let him keep the deposit. So should we move or stay? Is it bad to leave w/o paying last months rent?

Can someone refer me where I can look up information on requirements for apartment complexes. Im not sure if I am explaining myself correctly, but the responsibilties a landlord has regarding an apartment, and requirements an apartment has to have. For example working smoke detectors, etc. The buliding itself looks like a hotel, 11 story building, with elevator etc. It was affected by a fire a year ago(I wasn't a resident then) but since the fire most apartments have flimsy "temporary doors", with no peep hole, only one lock etc. Im sure they might be violating other things but I don't know where to look to have proof. I recently found out an apartment got broken into, but theyre keeping everything hush hush. Please, can someone help me. What agency/organization can I contact?

We just bought a house(not newly built, just new to us) and at the closing they said to take the paperwork to our Township's Assessors office to get some kind of credit. What is this and will it save us money?

I found the perfect all- brick townhome in north florida. The price is right; the community is developing; the schools are okay - everything is perfect, except for the condo fees!

Right now, there is a $200 fee; however, I have been told that the fees could get as high as $400 a month, an amount that I could not afford with the mortgage!

I need to know what can I do to combat the HOA fees?

Secondly, can I purchase a townhouse, where I can PAY my own taxes, and cover the maintenance myself?

We had an interesting situation happen recently. We are selling our home For Sale By Owner. We had an interested party call us up, talk to us about 10 minutes, and schedule a showing of our hope. They came, looked around and seemed VERY interested. They mentioned they were working with a real-estate agent, and we said we didn't have a problem with that.

Anyway, we haven't seen the couple since, two days later the real-estate agent gets a hold of us and tells us he'd like to meet with us tonight to discuss with us the couple and their intentions. I say yeah, he tells me he's going to call us at 6pm that night and come over soon after that.

He calls me again 30 minutes later, and says he is about to meet with the prospective buyers. He then starts asking me some very probing questions, specifically trying to find out the exact amount we'd sell the house for. I quickly tell him it's up to the offer price, and who is paying closing costs/ his commission.

Is there a method for valuating property? I'd read somewhere that even though property is always valued based on similar properties in that area, I'd also read that there is actually a method to calculate the value.

Please advise. Thank you.

in light of the interest rate increases and inflation, do you see a bullish outlook for the UK housing market? Would you invest in an off plan property due for completion in 2008? Do you see sustained growth, reduced groth or a crash & burn?

I've given my nephew 4 months notice that I am trying to sell my home and that he needs to find another place to live as soon as possible. He's done nothing that indicate he's even trying to move out. Do I need to worry about legalities if I just kick him out and put his stuff out on the lawn? BTW, he's 28 years old.

My boyfriend and I are both in the military. He recently got change of duty station orders, and he has to relocate. We live in an apartment and signed one lease. The apartment management is saying that he can leave, but I must stay since we are not married and I do not have orders to relocate, or we must pay to break the lease if I leave with him. According to the Service Members' Civil Relief Act, they must let the dependents leave as well without penalty. I spoke with JAG (military lawyer) on this issue, and he said even though we are not married, I qualify as his dependent since we have lived together and shared living expenses for over 180 days. For anyone who knows about law, or the Service Members' Civil Relief Act, is the 180 day thing true? Do I qualify as his dependent? Any links to websites with this info would also be helpful. Thanks!!
