My landlord is requiring each apartment in our building to completely clear off our porches/patios for cleaning and staining. We were given less than 24 hours notice. I have no place to store a fair amount of furniture and flowers. We were told that the porches should be cleared for 3-4 weeks. Is it reasonable to expect the landlord to refund a portion of rent and/or provide storage?

My friend asked me for advice and since I don't know, I thought I'd ask the Y!Community!

My friend has been renting out his second house (In California, USA) to a family for almost a year. Over the past six months they got later and later paying the rent ($1100). Two months ago he reduced the amount to $900 so that they could pay it. Last month they only paid $600 and this month only $300.

This has put my friend in very bad financial situation. He has another friend that wants to rent the house but doesn't know how to go about evicting his current tennants.

Unfortunetly, there is no lease and everything was done verbally. Legally, how does he proceed?

I guess I should have been more specific. I do not share a room with anyone, so yes it is MY room. I lock the door every day before I leave. My roommate was NOT locked out of the house. He broke in so that he could let the property inspector in my room to try to find things he could get me kicked out for. An inspection that he didn't tell the rest of us was happening, so I had no knowledge of it and was not home. No we are not on good terms due to the fact that he is 27 and cannot clean up after himself or respect and not use things that are not his own. He is a horrible person and roommate, but I can't move out until I return from a previously planned trip.He also admits to breaking in.

This is the situation our client is getting a divorce and we are having trouble dividing his community property. The client inherited a house and 80 acres of lemon grove. His net is $100,000.00 per year of the land. I know that the house and land is not community property but my question is.. Is the income from the property community property?

I moved out and now I am being charged for this: My old roommate had a pet (we were both on lease) he didn't pay deposit then moved out and took pet with him. That was a while ago. There is damage from pet I said I would pay but they want me to pay damage AND deposit now even though I am gone and pet was his. They also won't tell me how old paint or carpet was or how much the old tenant paid for their damages on carpet (which was still there when I lived there)

Both my boyfriend and I have very, very bad credit. We have paid all of our debts off, but that still does not help our cause.

We want to own a home and NOT rent.

How are we going to be able to get a mortgage w/ such bad credit. We do not want to be renters forever. We CAN afford a home, but we can't get the loan.

I found a nice house on the internet and I want to place an offer on it myself (without an agent) because agents commission is included in the home value. How do I place the offer independently without an agent?

Thanks!

We just purchased a home that was foreclosed and for months now we have been receiving the previous occupants' mail. We are constantly putting "return to sender fwd address unknown" on the mail and placing it back in the mail box but it just won't go away. We have no clue where the previous occupants are now living. Is there anyway that we can stop receiving this stuff for good?

I have found two good apartments and I am having a really difficult time deciding between the two and could use any advice anyone has. Both apartments are owned by the same person and are two bedroom with living room, kitchen and bathroom. The first one is $500/month and has a slightly smaller living room, detached 2 car garage, all electric, and stove. The second one is $600/month has a 1 car attached garage, propane/electric, refrigerator, stove, more modern, out of the county I live in, which means double taxes for a different working/living county. Any opinion would be greatly appreciated.

THERE ARE FOUR BEDROOMS IN MY HOUSE (IN CA) that i rent out of. she wants everyone to sign a 6 month lease. in the lease she will include that she is not responsible for finding tenants once a roommate moves out, we are. and if we cant find a tenant, then she will charge us for the extra room. the house is not in good shape, and she is not willing to fix anything. finding people to live there is very difficult. Is this ok or normal?????

When I put the offer in they told me that they told my agent that they had no other offers. I got a call from my agent today saying that the seller's agent said he was suppose to be getting another offer today. The Sellers agent also said that the offfer that I had made was low and they where open to me raising my offer. But my agent said that they did not reject my offer yet. What is going on and what should I do??

I'm 23 and I make about $30,000 a year. The house I want only costs $55,000. The seller is paying closing costs and a 3% down payment for me. I am self employed but have my tax returns for the last four years and pay stubs for the last four years as well. Since I write so much off, my taxes say I make much less, so I'm worried that is going to be a problem. I have a credit score of 635. I'm so nervous here waiting for the lender to call me back.. what do you think my odds are of getting the loan approved?

I've heard it is illegal for them to ask for a security deposit, and first and last month rent all at the same time. I heard that they can only do first and security, or last and security, or first and last.. but not all together. Is this not the case in Georgia? I can't find the laws for this online. Thanks!

I am confused on this, I am Power of Attorney for my grandparents and in the papers for the Power of Attorney it states that I can sell off land/rent/lease - I am also the only one listed in their will as receiving this land when they pass. I thought about selling off the land since I do not live close to the property and it is just deteriorating since it's now abandoned. The Nursing Home stated to me that I cannot sell the land, if I do- the money goes to the Nursing Home. How could I sell this land without the money going to the nursing home? Do I need to seek a Real Estate Attorney to do this? Thanks for anyones help on this!
