I'm really nervous because neither my husband or I have ever done this and I don't know what to do or what to even ask. We are military and can use this to our advantage because of loans and things, but I know my husband and he jumps into things, so that kinda leaves me leading the way. I want to know what to do and use the knowledge to my advantage. Any good websites out their for first time buyers.

My apartment lease is up on the last day of this year.

There is a small problem and it is as follows: There is no 3 month or 6 month lease. It's all one year leasing and I have to make a decision soon.

In April I will be moving back to Ohio because I will be graduating and going to get a job back there.

HOW do I go about doing this? I can't sign on for another year because there's no way I'm going to live somewhere for not even 4 months and pay for a whole year, especially with the high cost of this apartment.

If I go down and talk to the landlord do you think she'll cut me some kind of break? I don't know what to do.

We had a home 80/20 home loan through the same lender. The home was foreclosed on in January of this year, and now a second company that the 20 loan was sold to is coming after us for the money. The first lender has told us that the home hasn't even been sold yet. So how do they know if they don't have enough money to pay off the loan?

According to the Ohio Landlord Tenant Act a landlord is obligated to Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning fixtures and appliances, and elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by him;

With this said, our lease states that if anything breaks from the furnace to frozen pipes to the gas pipes we are responsible.

I agree if we cause the damage we should pay for it. But furnace malfunctioning or a gas leak should not be our problem. I would have bought a house if I could have afforded to fix all these problems should they arise.

My question is, if I sign the lease could I be held made to pay the repairs or is there an Ohio law that requires a landlord to abide by the Ohio landlord tenant act and pay for anything not caused by the tenant.

By the way the landlord, is a relative of a relative, so I don't know if the issue would be pushed but I need to know what my rights are.

My town offers a great price for cable and internet services, but the HOA at the condo complex I live at says that they ONLY accept Comcast. I have called the local cable company and they said that they already could provide service to our condo, but the association will not let them. Is there a law that contests that? Do I have the right to have whatever service I choose? Please help!

My friends and I decided to rent an apartment. We saw one we liked and the caretaker said we have to pay a reservation fee so they won't entertain possible tenants anymore... which we did. When we're about to settle the arrangements a few days later, they suddenly changed the conditions on the contract , thus making us back out. We asked for the money to be returned but they wouldn't saying it's "earnest money" meaning it's not refundable regardless of whether or not we push thru with the rent. Can we still get the money back? And how?

I bought a nice huge house in mid2006, hoping the market would continue to grow, therefore making my buy a good investment, but as we have all seen, the market is going down still. Should I call it quits and walk out on my mortgage and rent for a few years, or try and stick it out for ten years hoping to recover some of the very high monthly payments that I'll be making all those years? I know that thousands of people in my situation are walking away and adding to the staggering statistics in this historic time for the market.

im buying a brand new house in nyc. my mortgage broker gave me a list of buyer's fee and seller's fee. and under seller's fee, it has nyc tax and transfer tax. the total is around $15,000 under seller's fee. my broker told me im responsible for seller's fee also in addition to the buyer's fee.

is this true..if yes, why does it even have the title seller's fee than? why dont they put all the fees to the buyer's fee heading then?

rental house in Feb. 2007, I have called my landlord innumerable times because of sewage backup. If I do laundry, the rinse water comes back out of the drain, in addition to flooding all three sinks in the house. Once, while my son was taking a shower, the tub, toilet, and all three sinks overflowed, flooding the entire bathroom. Two weeks ago, my daughter took a shower, then used the toilet. After she flushed, the toilet backed up into the tub, leaving used toilet paper, sewage, and the tampon she just changed. This past week, my landlord again supposed "fixed" the drainage pipes. Last night, once again, the laundry drain overflowed, along with the two kitchen sinks. I not only had to clean up the mess in the laundry room, but rewash the dishes I'd just wash, and disinfect all the sinks in the house. Again. I cannot tolerate these conditions, and it's a daily nightmare. Can I legally break the lease?

I get along with my roommates pretty well but I still feel like I want to move out because of some reason! But when I confronted them, they didn't seem to like the idea! I said I will find someone to sublet me on the lease but they said I was being selfish for having them to adapt to a new person! They said if I find someone to sublet, they have to agree to see if they get along well with that person. But what if at the end, they still don't let me off the lease if i find someone to sublet me. The property management saids everyone on the lease must sign and agree in order to let someone off and let someone in. Even I find someone to sublet and they don't let me, can I sue or something? I live in California!

I purchasesd a house in Tacoma, WA back in May 2006 for $171k. I currently owe $168k. Based on the online appraisal my house is worth between $175k and $190k. I want to add a two car garage and do some home improvements for about $50,000. My equity is far short of the sum needed. Is there a way to do a new mortgage (with interest rates dropping) to include the price of the home improvements into the house? If there is could you please elaborate. Thank you in advance.

I listed a house for sale the other day... the house is very cute but this neighbor put this broken down house thing built outta wood like a manger which was rotting and broken. It's been there for years along with some camping equipment and sleeping bag and junk. Half of it was on the property and half was on his. the family moved it the other day to his side and now he called me at 10 p.m. and said I broke it... He wants me to have my clients call him because he says it is "irreplacable." he also claims that it was on his property which is clearly not true because the stakes are still in a line and it was 90% on the client's property.
Should I really have my clients call him? Can they get into trouble for moving something off of their property? There is more stuff on their property that they didn't move or deal with. I dont want my clients to go back to their house on the weekend and this guy bully them around.. or vandalize their property or take my sign down. what to do???

I rent an apartment in a gated community in Orange County, California. Every tenant is assigned 1 covered parking spot; open parking spots are available to additional cars on a first come first serve basis. Parking in our community has always been saturated; often, people would have to park along the curb of the narrow apartment drive because all open spaces are occupied by 8:00 PM. Our former apartment manager was good about accommodating parking needs-she assigned herself a less accessible covered parking spot and left the accessible ones to the tenants. She seldom used open parking spaces.
Our new apartment manager is not as considerate as the old one. Right off the bat, she assigned the best open parking spot to herself, thereby taking away one viable parking space for tenants with more than 1 car. Mind you, she is not handicapped. Do property managers have this right to give themselves the best parking privileges at the expense of tenants?
