Renting & Real Estate - September 2007

I turned in a 30day notice along with my rent for the last month. The supervisor was aware of my 30 day notice as she came to check to the apartment prior to my leaving. There was no damages, however i was denied the entire amount of my deposit because the owner claims it was not dated. Moreover i did not receive this claim more than 30 days after i left; and I my 30 day notice was never rejected

I refinanced the 2nd 8 months after buying a house due to the interest rate. But I never took out any equity. It was for the same amount of the original loan. Is that recourse or non-recourse.

I'm supposedly lucky to have my own place now since it's my chance to live on my own & alone. My credit is horrible, & I'm lucky to have a landlord who doesn't check credit. But why do we need good credit in order for a place to lay our heads? I'm considering moving next yr. to Los Angeles for a better living, but I'm afraid to be homeless again like I was in New York. Right now, I live in a small town with very limited transportation.

This home has been for sale for the past two years, but hasn't sold because the realtor says it is not possible to move. It is an A frame building, 1700 sq feet. I am working with a very small budget (single income, five kids)and want to put it on a piece of property at minimal cost. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks for any information you can share.

Since June I have been going back and forth with my landlord to repair our problems in the apartment. (will list below) I am in the end of a high risk pregnancy, I dont want to have to move because of this since my baby is due in November, but I dont know what type of lawyer or people I need to be talking to.

We have sent letters (registerd) with-held rent (put it in escrow) and complained... These problems are costing us a LOT of money and inconvience and they arent doing ANYTHING but coming up with excuse afer excuse on what 'could be' the problem...

So here are the issues:
For about 4 months now we have been going back and forth with our landlord to get our A/C unit in our apartment fixed.

here are the problems:
1. The central A/C unit does not work
2. The dishwasher spits up dirty nasty water up through the sink, and faucet
3. The tub in the bathroom leaks
4. The windows either dont open or they fall open and let bugs in
5. The closet doors keep falling off

i am thinking of buy a 2 br 2 bth townhouse in forida broward county is it a good time to buy or should i wait, the unit i am thinking of buy was selling for 225,000 in 2005 and now i am able to buy it for 180,000 considering that decline should i wait and watch price drop some more or should i just buy now because even if the price does drop on this unit and i wait i will still have to rent a place and that will cost me a min of 15,000 for the year so even if the price of the unit does drop i feel it will still be the same because i will be wasting money on rent. whats going on in the florida market are people buying or waiting , i really feel that the place i buy for 180,000 will not drop much more or is there a possiablty that the place i buy for 180,000 will only be worth 110,000 in a yrs time. please any advise will be helpful to me. thank you

My husband and I are renting a house when we get there, but I have poor credit from my previous marriage, which is really hard to get cleared up, and my new husband has very good credit. We have been living together for over 2 years, and he has been buying a home for the passed 16 yrs. Is it that difficult to rent when one adult from the household has bad credit? Also I should mention. My husband is the one whom will have the employment, which I wont, so they will have to base that off his income rather then mine. I know that will play a factor, considering they will want to know how the house will be paid for.

I just moved into my own condo, and I've been comparing my costs for utilities (gas & water) to what I was paying at my apartment. They were charging me DOUBLE what I'm paying here, plus a $5.00 service fee for the privilege. My usage hasn't changed.

The complex was fairly large, one of many run by Arnel Management, owned by billionaire George Argyros. Apparently, he can't afford to individually meter each unit for their usage, so instead, they average out the total costs of water and gas over the entire complex. Each tenant pays according to the size of their unit.

Well, I was in one of their larger units, but I was a single woman! So I was paying the same as the family of 4 or more! Obviously, this isn't fair, but IS IT LEGAL?

If it's not legal, what next? Better Business Bureau? District Attorney? Who? This is in the state of California.

It's listed as a commercial prop. I think it was a home before businesses popped up all around this growing area. It's 1000 feet from my place which is located right off a major interstate and a major route. Must it remain a place of business? If not, could I buy it and run a home-based business from it?

I really can not understand why the worry about sub-prime, if you dont pay the bank or morgage company resposses house and they can sell it again and get their money back. They never lose nothing, but, perhaps high interest that they charged in the first place. It is only a paper loss not a dollar loss. All this fuss about hedge funds losses is only wall street cronies crying cause they did not get their over priced home money and interest on time, it is the rich crying that they did not make as much money as they wanted. They still got material holdings in that they hold title to foreclosed houses. Too much about nothing, but, the rich trying to get richer as usual circumstances in a few controling the wealth and the middle and poor suffering from the rich greed and incompetance.

I am moving but i want some time to do so, what are my legal grounds. he did not give me a receipt for my cash deposit, but i do have my cell phone and landline phone bills when we did start corresponding..
LL said he will say that i'm illegal on his property and have me arrested if i'm not out by Tuesday. he send the electric company to turn the lights off on 9/14, but i paid a deposit and had it put in my name so as to keep the lights from cutting off..
