At the University of Illinois I shared an apartment with two other people and we each split utilities and rent. Our lease lasts until august 16, and my roommates are staying at the apartment all summer while I went back home to the suurbs to work. They have asked me to continue splitting utility bills in addition to the rent. Is this right, considering the fact that I am not using their water/internet/power?

I have been trying for months to get a Key workers job so that I can get a home through the key workers housing scheme. But seeing as it is so hard to get a key workers job I was wondering if it was possible for a account make it look like (In some sort of way) I am a key worker?. Just for a few months. Because I heard that the housing scheme needs proof that you are a Key Worker.

I live in a terrace house all former council. All my
neighbours like me now own their homes. Did my neighbour
to the right side have the right to replace the fence that
divides our gardens without first asking us. Was this fence not a party fence. Fence was previously 3 1/2 ft now 6ft.

My husband and I are buying a home. The home we are looking at is about $73,000. We were quoted a 6.25% interest rate for a 30 year note with a monthly payment of $908 (without tti). This seemed quite excessive to me. Coming home and doing the calculations (on bankrate.com's mortgage calculator), a 30 year note of $73,000 with a 6.25% interest rate should result in a $450 monthly payment. In order to get my monthly payment up to $908, I had to make my interest rate 14.75%. Now, the underwriter said the 6.25% wasn't the APR. What does that mean? Why would I have two interest rates, and why is one so much higher than the other? If we pay $908 a month, we end up paying $326,000 for a $78,000 home. This seems a little ludicrous to me. Anyone with financial experience got any wisdom to share?

I'm renting a flat privately. I moved in at the end of July last year. The bathroom has a bath only & no shower. My contract is due to be signed again for another 6 months in July. Due to work commitments, I havent really spent much time at the flat since I moved in, but am back at home all the time now, and I really miss having a shower.
How do I ask my Landlord to install a shower? Is it something that I should offer to contribute towards or if he agrees, should he pay the full cost?
SENSIBLE ADVICE ONLY PLEASE!

I have been living in a house..lease purchase option for two years. I officially have 11000 down due to part of my rent going toward purchase. problem is..i havent been able to increase my credit score. I finally found someone to give me the load but heres the stipulation......
-house appraised for 181000.00
-with my down payment and owners paying closing costs my loan would only be for 153000.00
-9% interest
-adjustable mortgage rate
I searched and searched and that is the only place that will give me a loan with my 550 credit score. I have to buy this month or move.
Am i stupid for agreeing to such high interest and an AMR or would i be stupid for passing up a house that appraised for 181 and only getting loan for 153???

A local realestate agency does not list any MLS listing on her site the PRMOTES ALL MLS listings that are listed by dicount brokerages. She is by far the biggest agency in my area, accounting for nearly half of all home sale listings. Some refer to it as a monopoly.

Since she promotes that her search engine on her site pulls up all MLS listings, could some one not seek a liability case? I know it is against the law for realtors to intentionally bypass FSBO listings, or dicounted brokerage listings. What is amazing is 95% of these sellers she bypasses in her system ARE OFFERING 3% to a selling agent. The other few are offering 2.5%.

I'm one of those excluded, despite being in the MLS and offering a commission. I had my brother call her agency about my home, they told him "it is not something you would be interested in, trust me!" They have never even seen it! Do I have a case?

My husband and I want to sell our home. We found a beautiful new community of new construction in S. Wis. but the seller's market is very, very slow in Northern Illinois.

What tips do you have for selling your home fast?

The landlords don't fix all the problems within 30 days. I know they are not going to be able to. They have 19 buildings and too many issues.

If the buildings are closed and the tenants are kicked out, do I get my damage deposit returned? And if it's closed, do I get a warning, is it immediate, or was the police notice the only warning?

Finally, what do I do if I have to move but have no where to move to? I don't know anyone's place I can stay and I don't have the money for a deposit on a new place. Plus, I have to have somewhere to go because I have a child.

Also, I can't get emergency assistance from the county to help because I have already had them help within the last 90days.

Please...any suggestions or experience welcome

I just graduated from high school and I thought I'd give myself freshman year in college to stay at home and then move out sometime next spring or summer. I need to know about budgets, credit cards, saving money in college, finding a good place with good rent- just everything I need to know because I feel as if I am going into this whole thing blindly.

I'm looking to rent my first apartment in the fall and was wondering whether or not I can knock a little bit off the price of rent before I lease with them, or whether advertised prices are usually set in stone. Thanks a bunch.

ten dollars and other good and valuable consideration has been paid and received. its for the consideration. but idont know what it means? the buyer would have a downpayment for the loan, and a deposit or earnest money which would only be 1,000-5,000. so what does the 10 dollars mean? does the buyer have to give someone 10 dollars?

Well, I have no idea how to grow my sphere of influence. About 2 years ago I got my real estate license, I sent out messages and announcements that I was in real estate and still 2 years later I have to get a call from someone in my sphere of influence. I would really like to have a referral only business because it brings the most reliable people to you. I have heard all the typical answers to this like "keep sending them newsletters and stuff...", "go talk to them...", and whatever the typical answers and since I already know and use these methods that are not working for me please don't give me the same answers, what I want to know is if someone did something inconventional that helped drive referrals to you. Thanks!!
