Renting & Real Estate - November 2007

We're out a lot of money if this deal doesn't go through!!! The buyers have asked for an extention, which may or may not go through. I'm just interested in hearing about other people's experiences if they have sued a buyer after the deal falling through.

Let's say you owned a house, your brother owned a house, your sister owned a house, and your parents owned a house. If each person quitclaim deeded their house to the next family member so that another family member owned their house, so no one no longer owned the house they live in and then paid "rent" to the family member that now owned the house, how could each person that owned the new house not claim the house as rental property and then claim depreciation on their taxes?

I am in the process of buying a home. The current owner has been letting his daughter and grandson live there, but claims he is selling because he's tired of them living off him for free. I told him to get her out before we sign paperwork, because I will not buy a house with her in it at the time of closing. I'm supposed to close on dec. 15th............how can I speed this up?????

My apartment complex sent me a notice that they were not renewing my lease as of October 1, 2007. I left September 22, 2007. I returned the keys in an envelope to the place where I received the keys with a note that said my name and address. I get a letter of eviction from them because I didn't pay October's rent. Then I call them and they say well you didn't tell us you were leaving, you owe us October's rent and court cost. Then they said I didn't return the keys and if I did I returned them to the wrong place. I get a notice yesterday that I owe $842. IF I don't pay it within 30 days they will place it for collection. What can happen here? Can they garnish my paycheck? What can I do?

We started living at our new townhome (rental) on the 20th and there are cockroaches. We just moved in 2 nights ago and last night we saw 3 different ones run and scurry across the floor. The realtor had promised they had sprayed for bugs after the last tenants moved out but the townhome had been vacant for 3 months. My son is SO scared because they are around 2 or 3 inches long and they are FAST. Remax are the property managers and seeing as we JUST started living here we don't know what they'll do. What are the state laws in VA for cockroaches? Has anyone personally worked with a Remax realtor and had the same problem? Will they put us up in a hotel until they take care of the problem? I REFUSE to live with bugs seeing as my 3 year old is petrified. Any information would be great, thank you.

Our house has been on the market for a month now, which is not long, but as we are moving to Japan at the beggining of January, I am starting to panick...so, how can I make my house more "saleable", nothing that requires a complete transformation, but little things or tips? Or, has anyone used those services that buy houses very quickly but with a lesser rice value of the house? or is not worth it? Thanks!

Hi,

Does anyone know if, a property developer has a legal responbility to let a buyer know if he himself has bought a property next door with the intention to let it out? i purchased a house in a new development 10 months ago and I had to go 30k over the asking price can I ask for the details of legitimate biders to see if I have been scamed? And I have be unable to live at the property from completion because the developer sold the house next door to himself as an investment and then let it out for cash, and the tennant is causing trouble and harrasing me, opening my mail and causing slander as well as claiming benefits in the address, the developer will not handle my complaints or warn the tennant. Friends of the tennant have stolen my pocessions and nothing is safe outside my home is there any legal action I can take? Also my son had a fall out the back of his property off a trampoline which wasn't secure or closed off and had to be hospitalised do I have a claim?

My husband and I are looking into buying a home. The realtor selling the home is charging a fairly expensive “processing fee”. Has anyone else ever come across this fee? Is it common for buyers to pay this?

Hey there!

I'm in the UK.

The police have forced a door open in a property I manage, at the request of a neighbour thinking the tenant was dead.

Turns out he's not, and he was just away.

Who is now liable for the cost of repairs? Neighbour, Police, Managing Agent, Tenant or Landlord??

Its a long story but it looks like my landlord is going to withhold my deposit. Its not worth my time to go to small claims court over it. She has tennants moving in the day im supposed to move out. What if I just refuse to leave until i get my money? What recourse does she have?

Is there any other alternative?

My husband and I purchased a house a year ago this December. We recently recieved a letter from our mortgage company telling us that we underpaid for our escrow for the taxes by almost $1500 and our mortgage will be going up by almost $170 a month if we cannot pay a lump sum now. There is no way we can afford this. This was there mistake. Shouldnt a mortgage company know what the taxes are and how much we need to put into it every month? Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

I got a $350k home equity loan 6 months ago, and the business I was hoping to start making profit turned out otherwise... To make things worse, as it turned out my house had no equity and the loan was issued to me erroneously. Now that I have no money and no equity, what are the consequences? What should I do to lose the least and come out of the situation as soon as possible and with least damages?

The house my mother owns has an apartment above it, and she is renting to myself and my boyfriend. Since we had a spare room, we figured we'd let his friend who was in a tough situation move in to get back on his feet, he is not on the lease, he has not paid rent, and he does not have a job. Everything has fallen apart, is it legally okay for us to just tell him to leave, he has other places he can stay, and we refuse to put up with him any longer.

Sorry if this seems like a silly question, I'd rather do everything properly and this being the first apartment I've ever rented and it being rented from my mom, I'd rather ask then do something wrong.

I am in a travel trailer and laptop it plenty. My bank is offering me a free Dell Inspiron 531s computer. Only catch is a deposit remains for a year (yes I get interest on that too) I offered it to my girlfiend but having a real tough time getting her to accept it. She has no computer, but sons 5&9. I'm sure the computer would be usefull to her boys as well. HELP! If she doesn't take it it's like I'm throwing $400 away. I suppose my alternative is to donate it to the library or one of the schools. But they like their own models. Help me convince her. She'll see the answers on the computer she accesses from someone else's house. See what devious things I do to convince you Honey?
