Renting & Real Estate - January 2007

I am on a month-to-month basis with my apartment complex. I agreed to a court settlement of $1500 for outstanding rent to bring me up to date. At the end of this month (approximately two weeks), I want to move out. Not only can I no longer afford the rent (I have a 4 month old son and I am moving in with his daddy), but there are numerous outstanding maintenence issues that still have not been addressed, some dating back to when I originally moved in three years ago. I wrote them a letter stating the maintenence issues and they never responded. I want to pay them the balance of what was determined in court and just leave. They claim that even though I am not subject to lease terms, that I still have to give them 30 day notice which means I must stay there for the month of Feburary as well. Is this true? Help!

I'm thinking about buying a boatslip in a new area as an investment. Would I have to sign a mortgage style loan on it (10-30 years), or would it be like a personal loan where I'd have to pay it off in 60 months?

I am going to talk to my future landlord about getting new carpeting in his 1 BR condo that I am about to rent from him at the end of this month.

The current carpets are throughout the entire apartment, 10 years old, previous tenant w/ kids just moved out after 4 years, but the worst part is that they are like a royal blue color.

I told him at the initial meeting that I want to rent the apt. but would like to get new carpeting in there, but he insisted on me seeing it after it was professionally cleaned (since there were a bunch of stains still on it & didn't look good).

I know that if he invests in new natural colored carpeting it will benefit him at the end also.

My question is:
What is the best way to convince him to do this, without me paying for it or pay minimal out of my pocket.

ps - I signed a lease with him already - if I back out, I lose my deposit, but if he backs out I get my money back.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

There is a house I want to buy in a flood zone but once the remapping is done my realtor told me the house will no longer be in a flood zone. Does anyone know when this will happen. I like the house but the stupid flood insurance puts the monthly payment out of our price range. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We rented a house for $1,200.00 a month and were promissed a working stove and fridge within 2 weeks after we moved in. Every month we asked the landlord when we would be getting them, even threatened to hold back money, until he got really mad. After four months we had to find a place with a stove and fridge and moved out. Is there anything legally I can do?

I have been renting a condo as a "winter rental" on a month to month basis. The owner and I verbally agreed on the end of April as the approximate termination date, but yesterday he told me to expect a 30 day notice within the next week. This is not an eviction, he just wants his place back earlier than planned. Must he give me until the end of a month to move out, or can he insist that I move out mid-month?

I plan to sell my flat using a letting agency. I simply do not have time to be a active landlord so the idea of someone else taking care of the business for a fee seems appealing. i posted a question about these things on another answers website and every reply was basically along the lines of 'why pay someone to do something you can do yourself'. I fully understand this, however others have told me that for someone with very little time, it may be a good idea. I've heard the negatives, so can anyone give me a positive spin on letting agencies?

I hear a lot of people in the Michigan area say that owning a home (sub $200k) is still a better bet than renting, even if property values are sliding. Can anyone justify this idea?

The listing agreement that I have says that the realtor gets a percent of the first years lease rent and thats it. Someone else told me that there are other residuals that are to be receieved by the realtor for rentals in the commercial real estate besides the regular comission for every other year for the term of the lease...is this true? if so how is that figured out?

Looking at Winter and Summer. I'd like to come up with an average of gas usage for one person. EDF has tried to charge me £365.00 for 93 days!
I'd like an estimate of what other people use in London. Mine has always been less than £30.00 - even in Winter.
Any numbers?

My landlord has taken over 3 months to return my deposit to me & the amount he has returned is way less than I expected. When we moved out of our flat there were a couple of holes made in the walls from moving furniture around but we filled those in. But, he's saying he's been charged £250 for filling them & painting work which seems very steep to me anyway. He's also charged us £40 for cleaning of a stairs carpet which we cleaned ourselves before we left. He didn't actually tell me he was getting this work done, he's just sent me back a cheque minus £290 for this work he says was needed. Am I within my rights to dispute it? Surely he should have consulted me before getting work done so I'd know how much it would cost as I was the one paying?! I could have got a much cheaper decorator in to do this work had I have known I was going to be charged for it. If I can dispute it how would I go about doing so..? Thanks for your help!
