We have had some disagreements with our landlord. Our rent agreement is month to month. And is just an oral agreement. Anyways, We have decided to move out this coming month, and have notified the landlord of our intentions to do so. Our concern is that the landlord might enter our house while we are away at work. Is it legal for them to do so?

My fiance and I bought a house for 429500 in November, he is thinking about taking a job in another state. We put no money down on the house and the house has gone down in value. Because we could barely afford the payments we have NO savings. What would happen to our mortgage if we had to sell at a lower price. Niether of us has good credit, and we realize that buying the house to begin with was bad, our realtor insisted we would be fine... stupid us listened to her... What can we do? Are we stuck?

The property is financed through a private party, not a bank or mortgage co. Can you get a home equity loan to fix it up? Or a home improvement loan? even though there is a lien on the property?

I'm planning to start renting an apartment in Massachusetts in the next couple of months. I am a first time renter and I was wondering what the additional costs would be above the cost of rent. Costs such as electricity, gas, water, cable, apartment/condo fees, etc.

If anyone is renting and could give me a breakdown of their costs, or even just let me know what additional costs I can expect, that would be great. Thank you.

I plan on renting a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment if that helps.

We've had other realtors show our house, but not OUR realtor. If she's selling houses, then that means she's neglecting ours. Is there a way to track her sales through public record or something?

We live in the lower half of a double and when my landlord lights up it becomes very bothersome. Do we have any recourse to get out of the lease?

Is it rude to knock on doors and ask about the area? (noisy kids, anti-social behavior, traffic etc.)
And how do I check the burglary/crime rates?

My friend got an eviction notice the other day. She has never been late on her rent or caused any problems. The reason for the eviction is because her landlord found black mold in his home and in now going to need to move into his rental home. Can he do this? What does his personal home problems have to do with her? Can he create hardship for her to make life easier for himself? This seems so wrong.

I live in wisconsin and have been having trouble finding this information. I know the landlord has to give at least 12 hours for entering but it doesnt state anything about whether he is allowed in my house when im not there. I really dont feel comfortable having my landlord in my house when im not know, especially when i do not know them.

I purchased a house with my mother as co-owners. I was supposed to live there with my brother since he didn't have the credit we had to put his share into my mothers name. Even tho I put a big chunk of savings into the downpayment I chose to leave because I had no space living there with him, he didn't want to pay any bills and I just couldn't. I forfeited verbally telling him that I don't want anything more to do with the house, everything I put in so far goes to him. If he doesn't want it he can sell it, if he wants it, he can pay for it.

Well I think he's still having trouble paying his bills and the last thing I want is for him to go bankrupt while the house is in my name.

Also my mom is retired now and if she goes bankrupt what will happen?

I want my name out of there NOW. and I don't know how to go about it. Legally what are my options?

I know this is a bit "out there" but my tenant was squirting the tenant in the condo below (accidently but rude) causing a rift in the building. I took the hose away that he was using to wash windows and since have washed all the windows myself with his permission. He is not to happy about the hose. I do not want to get sued.

I have found some property i'm interested in buying. I have found who owns this property but have been unable to reach them. I called the courthouse and there is back taxes owed. I was told that I could pay the taxes owed and if they don't pay by the first of the year the property would be turned over to me. Is this accurate? This is just the land. There is no home and the yard hasn't been mowed in two years. Any help would be appreciated

If not , this is the clue, cut the long sentence into segments, then answer the question with honest opinion.
If you can't do that, then the problem is in you - you are not a good reader.

At least , people that is in america but not really born here, they are really trying so that's a good excuse, but those that are born here and educated here - they are supposed to have a huge databank of good spelled words and good grammar usage in their head. You can tell if a person speaking or writing is not an american by heart - but legally staying here - can you speak their language with no error if you go to their country?
