I will allow the tenant to get out of his lease with me. I will allow him to leave under certain conditions, which are actually, in my opinion, very reasonable. I know some people have demanded that tenants pay them lump sums when getting out of a lease, but I am willing to forgo that.

Anyway, the tenant would like to have me sign a paper from his lawyer saying that I will end the lease under these conditions.

Should I do that?

OR- should I just say that I will sign nothing. And that I will declare the lease to be void after the conditions have been met?

Thanks.

Hi
I want to know, according to UK laws and FSA regulations what can I do if my mortgage broker lied to the lender about my income? I accidently came to know this and broker is not yet accepting this. Mortgage lender is now asking for income proof (which broker wasn't expecting) which would result in rejection in mortgage application. I have signed the document that the information in application is correct, but whatever was shown to me was different info. and not the one which is sent with application. and application was made on date prior to my signing date. What can I do to teach them a lesson, to get compensation. prefferably I do not want to spend money in hiring lawyer. The firm is FSA regulated, but it does not comply with FSA in this matter.

Hello, I am looking for an apartment to rent for myself. I've never done this before, so I am really confused about a few things.

People say that in order to get an apartment, I need to have

1. income that is 40x more than the rent
or
2. guarantor making 80x more the rent

The thing is, I do NOT work and I will be a college student, and I do NOT have a guarantor.

the rent will be for myself (roomate can be a solution but not an option)

Please help!

Although an obligation from the owner to the mortgage company is seperate from a rental agreement from the tenant to the owner. Doesn't give the homeowner the right to defraud the renter. IT IS MORALLY WRONG. I can't believe some of the posters saying it is none of my business what the homeowner does with the rent. What about the renters right to a secure place to live?
Rent is suppose to be used to pay the mortgage. Not paying the mortgage is tantamount to FRAUD. Leaving the renters to fend for themselves is irresponsible.
Property manangement companies need to set up an account where the rent is paid directly to the mortgage company. I know I'm not alone in this situation.
If you own property and in foreclosure. Be upfront with your tenants. Don't take money from them to save your own ***. Even if it's legal to do so.

Hi All and thanks for your help!

I am 23, currently a 1st year teacher in CT fresh out of college in my first job. I have a Master's and about $11,000 in student loans.

I am interested in buying a small home this summer. I'm hoping to buy somewhere under $200k.

I have great credit. Never made a late payment in my life. All utilities for a home have been in my name for over 2 years. No debt other than the student loans. I only have one credit card, however, and I use it rarely and for never more than about $100, which I pay in full at the end of every month.

Will I be able to get a decent mortgage for that amount? Being a first-time homebuyer? I will have a down payment of about $20,000 I believe. I can also, should it be necessary, have a member of my family with great credit history co-sign the loan.

What should I be doing? Advice? Is this feasible?

Thanks so much, I'd love to chat with someone who knows a lot about homebuying. Please feel free to email me!

Ok, my husband, myself, and our 2 kids have been living in our apartment for 5 years.

About 3 years ago, my husband lost his job, and we were unable to pay rent for a few months. Sometimes we were able to pay a little, sometimes we weren't able to pay at all. My landlord was nice and willing to give us some time to get back on our feet. At one point, we owed over 3000 in back rent. And we were never at threat of eviciton, because our landlord was trying to work with us.

Finally after a few months my husband was able to find another job paying a bit more, and I got a job as well. All is fine until last week.

I got an eviction notice the other day because we are 9 days late on our rent. (we were going to pay it next week). We always pay (at minimum) our rent, plus some, so that we can pay off the remaining balance. The court papers showed that we owe 3900.00.

Yesterday my landlord sat down with me and we went through all the payments and came to a conclusion that we

First off we started renting a house from the real estate agency. We have a lease aggreement through end of March of next year. We have paied our share of the rent on time every month. But a couple of days ago we got a letter in the mail from a bank, that wasnt addressed to the owners of the house. It just said regarding occupant. So we thought it was junk mail from a bank trying to get us to join with them. And we opened to find out the owner never told us or the real estate agency that we are renting from, that his house is being forclosed on for not paying the mortgage. See the bank still thinks they live here, and that whoever is living in the home has to be out by Nov 1st. We contacted the real estate agency told them. They said that they would talk to the owner about it. It said after Nov.1st the house will go to HUD until it gets fixed up to sell. Since we have a lease and are renting the house,will they really take the house or can we stay alittle longer, can we buy the house?

Here's the scenerio: Right now I rent with a small dog. The city I live in has no rent control and I just received a $500 rental increase. This makes my rent more than 60% of my monthly salary. I have a good job, it pays well and I am in the 2nd tax bracket (Canadian). Although I make good money, I cant buy a condo of any kind as they are well over $250 000 to start.

If I find another rental, I am subject to more rental increases, money down the drain and its difficult to find a place that accepts dogs. (my dog comes with me no matter what)

If I buy a mobile home that is attached to a site in a park, my mortgage and land rental combined would equal roughly the same as getting a new rental apartment. I am paying a mortgage, therefore the home is mine. I will never get a massive rental increase and my dog can live with me.

The downsides are: I can easily get a roomy with a rental but not a mobile. Mobiles parks are sketchy, and expensive to heat and what about resale?

Supposedly the retail is $12,000 for each week. I would be lucky to get 2k for each. I was just curious if anyone knows a lender who would give a loan against the deeded property.

To my shock when I moved in, I seen that I did not have my OWN room, rather I "shared" a room with someone and only had bookshelves that split the two rooms apart. Leaving Two feet above each the bookshelves with nothing seperating the two of us. I'm attending college and need to work in the evenings on assignments, but being able to without disturbing the roommate is..difficult. Any advice?
