I live in the St. Louis area and am considering a move to Savannah but can't seem to find many homes under $200,000 with a two or more car garage. Is there a garage tax or something? Where does everyone keep their motorcycles?

I have tenants who abandoned the rented house and left no forwarding address with me. They owe me rent for three months. Meanwhile, there is a lot of US Mail that came in as the local post office keeps on erring and forgets to forward their mail to their new address. Recently, these renters are beginning to send me Email asking me to leave their mail in my personal mailbox which is located at the end of my driveway so that they can come and pick it up without having to face me. But they do not want to give me the new address to forward their mail for the fear that I may sue them for the rent due. My question is: Am I obliged to do that favor even after they have abandoned my property with three months rent still due? Where do I stand legally? I shall appreciate the information so that I take the right course of action. Thanks.

If we sell our house for less than we paid for it, what happens? Does the left over money become some type of mortgage itself? A loan? Rolled over into a new mortgage on a new house? Thanks!

My wife and I currently rent a building for our business. We've been in business for nearly two years and would like to begin exploring the option of buying. The landlord says the current FMV is $3 million but he tends to exaggerate so we may be able to get it for less. What are the best options given the fact that we need the longest term possible to keep the mortgage payment below our current rent payment.

My boyfriend and I are buying our first house.; I have a 600 credit score and he has an 800 credit score. How do I protect my investment in the house when I can't put my name on the loan because it will cause our payments to be higher? We plan on getting married in one year. An inexpensive conclusion? A quitdeed? Something that says I am half owner and Half payer?

Is it true that sometimes you have to pay for your office depending on what firm you work for? Can you buy your own real estate and sell it so that you can make a profit? What is there to know if one if considering being an agent?

I've completed my university degree and am at my first "real" job. I still live at home but am looking to move out. I found this apartment building that would be perfect for me, but I'm a bit worried since you have to fill out a rental history section of the application. They ask for your banking info, income, etc., which is fine (my credit is good, my income is 3x the rent they're asking, etc.). These apartments are quite upscale, but nothing I can't afford. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thank you very much.

I'm letting some family members stay in my house rent-free and all they have to do is maintain the house and grounds. I treat this as a month-to-month renewal, but now I have terminated the agreement and given more than 45 days written notice. They are refusing to leave because they want the free rent to continue. I want to evict, but I don't know on what grounds other that the fact that I want my house back because it is not being maintained inside or out. This has gone on for about a year and I'm just tired of them leaching off of me and not sticking to the agreement. I just want them out and would rather not have to go to court because this is family. I need someone that has knowledge of landlord/tenant rights to answer this question and if possible, provide some web pages for me to read. Thanks!

I bought my grandparent's home in May of 2001 to keep it from being lost due to my grandfather's mismanagement. After the sale, he continued to reside at the property and paid rent to me as a tenant.

He is now contesting the sale of the home, stating that he thought he was only refinancing the house. I need to know who owns the house while the case awaits trial, as I am being told by his attorneys that he is entitled to heat, water, since he is still a tenant, while after calling the police to keep him from moving people into the house (who I will eventually have to evict), I was told he was entitled to do so since was contesting the sale of the house, and technically has the rights as an owner. Help!


P. S. I live in New York City, where the law favours the tenant and not the landlord, the senior citizen and not the thirty-year old.


P. S. S. I do not want to sell the house or give it back, as he has no means to pay for it, and it would only end in foreclosure.

Is fresh produce and meat available? My husband and I are trying to figure out where to move after his enlistment. We've been to Georgia, SC, and Missouri. We had a hard time finding pork that wasn't Hormel superchemically injected - actually we only found Hormel there! How expensive would you say food is in comparison? Homes? Land? Food was also more expensive in Missouri than in CT where we're from even though wages are lower in Missouri. Any help is well accepted, thanks!

My rent is fixed each month to include all utilities. I have not been getting any heat for about the past 3 weeks in my bedroom but have been in the other rooms of my apartment every now and then but not enough to heat the whole place. I had told my landlord about it when it started and then again when it had no been fixed. Am i able to withhold some of my rent for the times that i have no been getting heat? Or can i not do anything about it?

Thanks!!
