I rented from an apt (Equity) because of there relocation program. It was great because I knew there was a chance that I was going to move from NC to GA soon as I found a job. The managment company changed but I did not sign a lease with them, but my lease is still with Equity. I wanted to know am I legally binded to the terms of the new company even though I signed a lease with Equity. Equity says to give a 30 day notice, new company says 60 PLUS a month's rent. With Equity it was nothing, just move with a 30 day notice. Please someone help because this is a lot of money that I would have to dish out. Thanks to all who answer.

I just moved out of an apartment and there was a stain in the carpet left behind. My security deposit was only $250 and the landlord is now telling me that they want around $1,000 to replace the ENTIRE carpet because the stain wouldn't come out. The unit didn't have new carpet when I moved in. Am I responsible to replace the entire carpet? Does the landlord have an obligation to allow me to try and handle the stain? They're hustling me telling me the next tenant moves in on Saturday so they have an appointment for tomorrow morning to get the carpet replaced already! They only called me today! (Thursday)

I have been the landlord of a townhome in North Carolina for over 4 years. It's equity has increased almost 40%. Would I be wise to research and buy multiple townhomes to rent out or should I keep the house I have and hope for more of an equity rise.

By the way, I have not been affected in any way by any recent real estate down turns, but you never know about the future. It seems to me like the time to buy, when others are scared and selling cheaply. But I'd like everyone else's advice. Thank you.

I see lots of houses that say that. DOes that mean they need a ton of work? Or is that just to reassure that there is no warranty with the house for later....

If this is the case, then does the mortgage kick in to pay it all off?

My name is on a unrecorded deed. At the time I have filed a lawsuit to have the law recognize me as a tenant in common, but until I go to court how, can I keep the other person, whose's sole name is on the recorded deed, from selling/refinancing, or doing anything to profit from the house until a decision is made as far as ownership?

I see many houses on-line where they ask you to make an offer before they get foreclosed on but their listing price is often higher than of the comarables...what is the deal? and if they actually get foreclosed on, how much can you negotiate with the bank, let's say on a house that is currently listed for 500k? From what I red online the bank will try to recoup the amount of the loans secured by that property, but usually those loans total more than the house is worth on today's market...I am trying to find out, if anybody knows, how much of a price reduction I could get buying an REO or a foreclosed property.

thank you!

we are renting a house and have made payments to the owners through a leasing co. the last 3 months our payments have been going to the owners at $1242.00 per month ... and I feel that they are pocketing the money! collection agency is asking for payment in full from the owners in the amount or over $3,000.00,....my question is are we still obligated to pay rent and to whom if it looks like they are defaulting in their payments? .. we opened a letter to the owners stating to "cure" or "reinstatement right" and they are also seeking payment for next month. (december) and also regarding foreclosure..where does this leave us? what are our rights? what happens after December? we have been here for the last 2 years in good standing. My room mate wants to continue paying rent and I say no. what is legally correct? does this mean that they filed banckruptcy??

Can I sue my HOA on rental cap? My HOA has rental cap of 19% properties. But that is a descrimination that once those owners who have already rented their properties, will not let their rental go and so nobody else will get chance to rent their property. That is not fair. Can I sue my HOA on this ground? please advice.

If I short sell my home for $50,000 less than what is owed, the bank will then submit a 1099. What does this mean exactly? Will I be paying for an extra $50,000 income or is this essentially a bill from Uncle Sam for $50,000?

We found out 6 days after closing that our house sank ( apparently it was sank when we bought it) the builder would not buy it back . They did pay part of the cost to have basement to be finished & they put helical piers under the house where it settled .
Did I lose $ on it sinking ?
