Renting & Real Estate - November 2007

We have a house in CA and it is imminent that our house will go for a foreclosure. My concern is that will we have to pay the balance after our house sells for a lesser amount ? I have heard from various realtors that we will not have to pay, while others are saying that we will have to pay. What's going to happen ? Please give me all the details.

he asked landlord for his part of the deposite back, but she wouldnt give him back. so he turned to me and asked me to give him his part at the end of the year when i get it back. does that sound fair?! i mean...he just lived and took all the benefits and ran away now i have to pretty much pay this 2-ppl flat all by myself...i rent this big flat originally for 2 ppl, now i have no flatmate but a load of dough to pay! what are the penalties and consequences of breach a contract?

Last year I paid $4420 in county taxes for my house, this year the bill came out to $5879 + $1400 in supplemental bill for an addition we did 2 years ago (legally). I think that is way more than anybody is paying in this street. Can I fight it, and where do I start??.

Purchased a residential property with son in law and it was agreed verbally that on sale or one of us moving out that any increase in value would be split between us on basis of what each of us put in. No written agreement was signed. It works out that I had put in 5/6 and he1/6 on basis of capital put in and mortgage interest paid. He has now moved out and stopped paying the mortgage and I want to buy him out. He says he is entitled to 50% of the increase in value of the property. Who is correct and what do we do about settling this?

i live in an upstairs flat and the one below is for sale. i was thinking of putting in an offer but, as i believe prices will not rise much more and may even drop at some point, it seems to me that flat prices cannot rise as much(percentage wise) as house prices as they have limited value compared to houses, and therefore not as valuable. So do flats have limited value compared to houses??? WHAT DO YOU THINK , MISTER????

I live in Arkansas, and my landlord is trying to charge us for stuff that is normal wear and tear. A thermometer is broken that worked just fine until we left, and he is trying to charge us for that. Part of the screen door is broken, and that is our fault because our 1 year old leaned against it too much. I expected to pay for that. I can't find online any websites that explain what they can and can't charge us for. Any advice/sites that you know?

We live in Arizona and are looking for an apartment to rent however there are both refundable and non-refundable deposits along w/ "pet rent"! I've heard that a letter from a medical Dr. or a Vet stating that the dog is good for your well being could waive such fees. Anyone know of such a thing????

Do you think we can be evicted for this? She is a typical two year old going through terrible twos, with a possible health issue. She is very hyper and plays loud and the neighbors complain to the landlord. We think the landlord is saying its us fighting to save his butt.

The property is on Long Island, NY. In this market is it fair to offer 10% off the asking price? I am very interested in the house and want to make a low offer that's still taken seriously.

I live in CA and my landlord told me when I gave him my notice that I must have the carpets cleaned. He said it is because I have a cat. He also said I have to use a specific company, not one of my choice. It wasn't noted in my lease or discussed when I moved in. I would think it is his responsibility to have it cleaned (normal wear and tear... my cat has no fleas and didnt do any damage) and if not that I would be able to pick whoever gives me the best price... not someone he could be getting a kick back from...

I just moved out of my apartment before the lease was up and I was under the assumption that they would just keep my deposit. They are trying to say that I have to pay the next two months rent plus forfeit my deposit. I just want to know if they can do that!

We try everything to keep her quiet but she's too young to understand and we just got a 3rd written warning stating the next time it would be eviction. Can a landlord legally do that because of a small child?

My boyfriend and I are thinking about renting a house...
I know you have to pay rent but I was wondering what other bills and what sort of price range to expect...

We worked out
- Electricity/gas
-Water
- Phone
- Internet (he wants cable)
and food...
But how much would each cost, even a general idea would help alot...
Have I missed any bills?

Any responses would be greatly appreciated!
*hugs*
