We are in the process of buying our first home. When we did the inspection, th yard was well manicured with the bushes trimmed and beautiful flowers around the house. As we are awaiting closing, the lawn is brown and the bushes are overgrown. Is it ok to ask the realtor to have the seller keep up the yard up until closing?
Is it worth mentioning?

The reason I ask is because my husband has Alzheimers Disease and I can see that every thing we own could be used for his long-term care. I would like for the land I owned before we were married to go to my children.

I got a GFE from a mortgage broker, he had run my credit and said I can get this loan he illustrated in the GFE. Now after I have paid for an appraisal he is telling me that the lender ran my credit and my score has gone down. I subsribe to my fico and per my fico there is not another inquiry besides the one he ran. He now wants to give me a way higher interest rate, I told him I want proof that the other lender rejected me and he says he can't provide such, and i want a copy of my credit report showing that my score had gone down. They do not want to provide me this info. either. I feel that I have a right to this information. I have now filed a complaint with the BBB and am planning on contacting the DRE. I am disgusted with this situation and mad as hell!!!!

Roommates and I live in the same townhouse. All spaces in the parking lot are numbered with the address. There are always two spaces with the same addresses. I'm paying the most for the master bedroom and also had to pay for the parking space. I been told in the beginning and on the landlord's word that this reserved parking space is for me. On many occurences now, I've seen my roommates park in it and not an apology or word to me why they park there. I been very angry and upset. I have tried to suck it up and find a nearby space, but it's getting to me everyday. I have a bad temper and can swear harsh words. I thought about keying their car, spray paint, being childish. The other space is reserved for them, yet they still have to yank mine. I want a rent reduction! I have not gone to the landlord about it. What should I do first?

We lived in a rental home 1 1/2 years. The landlord witheld money from our deposit for paint & labor for repainting the interior of the home. No damages to walls, just what we considered normal wear & tear (fingerprints, etc) The interior was painted when we moved in with a paint that could not be cleaned without it coming off the walls. Additionally, they charged us for relandscaping, which we assume involved mowing the back yard & remulching the flower beds. The flowers that were in the beds were left behind by us & they used only them, no new plantings. The front yard had been mowed the day before we moved out & we have witnesses.
The deposit was 1500.00 total & received back 612.31. We received the breakdown as follows, w/o copies of any bills. 150.00 to clean yard/202.36 carpet cleaning (we also cleaned)/Paint material 160.33/Labor 375.00. home approx 1600 sq ft. We are in Houston Tx. Letter noted on ea. item "Per receipts".

We found some land we wanted to buy and made an offer with a realtor. Our realtor contacted the listing agent, the listing agent contacted the party who listed the property and they accepted our offer. We put a "good faith" payment down and I signed a contract to remit the balance within 30 days. I initiated a mortgage on my primary residence which involved substantial closing costs, title search, appraisal fees, etc. Three days after my loan was closed, while we were waiting for the deed to be prepared, yet another realtor made a slightly higher offer on behalf of her sister. What she knew that we laymen did not know (nor apparently my realtor) was that the property was listed by a trustee and they would take a higher offer within 20 days of my initial offer. She did this directly with the trustee despite the listing realtor telling her the sale was pending. I am livid.

Can we seek civil action? There is nothing illegal, but to me it reeks of being unethical.

i'm 18 and am seriously thinking about moving in with my boyfriend in the near future. we both have jobs and are going to school but he wants to buy a house and fix it up, then re sell it...i personally don't like this idea. i say we should just rent an apartment and save up. (i don't think he knows what the words save up mean). what would be the ideal choice?

To all you savvy law experts out there... I got a question... I signed a one year sublease agreement with the lessor (Rothem Academy) and have not violated the lease. The landlord of the property disputed with the Rothem Academy and told the lesse that I (the sublessee) must vacate. What is my recourse?

To clarify,
Rothem Academy is currently leasing space from a landlord
Rothem Academy and my business (Speedy Express) signed a sublease agreement for 1 year.
The landlord is now telling Rothem Academy that I must vacate.

What is my recourse?

...not to mention doing a half-as job. Yard floods, bugs under the final finish of hardwood floors, stain (wood stain) and cigarette burns on carpet, driveway has multiple cracks and oil stains, missing door knobs, irrigation system that misses parts of the lawn, cleaning spray stains on walls, the list goes on. What actions can I take??? I closed 28 days ago and was told the punch list was going to be completed in 30 days. Its not even close.

I live in California. I have just signed the lease for a one-bedroom apartment. I asked the rental agency if I could have the shower-head removed to have a shower wand installed. I was told this is not possible because shower wands "have caused problems in the past". It is unclear what kind of problems these were, I guess they just want to save water, since they pay for it. So my question is, Can I still legally replace the shower-head? It wouldn't be a permanent modification - I could put the old one back when I leave the apartment.
Thanks!

My fiance and I are looking to buy our first home. We live in an area where homes are really expensive so we'd like to try buying a forclosure. We've found a couple online but we're not too sure about what exactly what they mean. One listing we like says it's Real Estate Owned and in the final step of the forclosure process. The ownership has reverted to the lender. It has an estimated sale price listed that fits our budget.

What I was wondering was is there anything else we should know before we decide to move forward with this? Does this seem like a good idea or is it too good to be true?

Thank you!

My landlord mailed us a 3 day notice thru regular mail. He did not post it at our house or hand it to us. I was under the impression that "post and mail" meant both had to be done. Is it legal to only mail a 3 day notice in the mail...it was not certified mail.
