Renting & Real Estate - December 2007

I am going to school at the University of Milwaukee Wisconsin, and I am living in an apartment near campus. I am planning on moving out at the end of December though. The catch is that I haven't found a replacement roomate yet. The OTHER catch is that I am not on the lease at all, because in Milwaukee you can only have 3 unrelated peopleliving together and I am the 4th. I let them know on November 27th that I was moving out, and they have done nothing to find another roommate. However when I moved in they did all the work of finding me as a roommate. I don't know these girls barely, and they are being really bitchy telling me I will owe rent until I find a roommate. I'm not trying to be a dick, but if I don't find one am I liable for the rent? If you need any more details to give a good answer, let me know. Thanks

We rented an apartment in oklahoma. The terms were from july 07 to july 08. The lease agreement says the tenant must give 30 days notice before vacating. We did that. No where on the contract does it say that breaking the lease forfeits the contract but the landlord is keeping the full deposit. It does say that less than 30 days notice forfeits the deposit, but thats all that forfeits the deposit according to our lease.
Is it legal for him to keep our deposit?

I recently purchased land next to my property. Both lots have their own parcel number; I would like to combine both parcels into one.
I guess my questions would be:
What form(s) from the county auditor do I need to ask for?
How do I go about getting the properties combined?
Do I need to have a surveyor come out first?

One of my neighbors held me at gunpoint and robbed me. CJ system caught him, and he already had a long wrap sheet. Should he have been able to get an apt in his name in the first place? Is this grounds for an lawsuit for post traumatic stress/psychological help?

I recently purchased a home for me and my fiance with the intent of us living in it a starting our lives together, within 2 months of living in the property, we decided to break up. The home is completely in my name and I went into a serious depression, I quit my job and visited friends in another state until recently. I only made 1 mortgage payment on the house before renting it out to a couple. The couple moved in and payed me only ONE time and have not payed me yet. I've been trying to get them evicted but the court process is too slow and now I'm 2 months late on the mortgage. I cannot afford the place on my own and now these people are taking advantage of my house. What happens to a new mortgage that immediatly defaults?

I booked my wedding reception at a fairly new (3yrs old) venue 8 months ago. I went back recently and the "owner / head person" wanted to revise our contract because the original event coordinator apparently did not calculate the cost of the venue and what they were providing properly. They now want to add additional cost that was originally included. This location is a museum and our wedding is in 3 months which does not allow for me to change venue or my invitations. I want to know what actions can be made to insure they follow through with the original contract and or any additional paperwork that I agreed to without changing it? I also want to know if they have the right to refuse on holding our event there if we do not agree?

(((I tryed to sell it thu ReMax, but no buyers. There are 4 more condos for sale across the street from me, and 3 more around the corner. Those condos have been on the market for well over 11 months. We took ours off the market because Remax said that we would have to come up with $5, 994.37 at closing. We don't have that kinda money, and this is why we have NO choice but to leave. Why stay and get buried in more debt worse than we aready are?!?)))

And, guess what? I just got my property taxes in the mail today for $2,702 due January 31st... Damn, I'm sinking fast now...

I have lived in NYC since 1973. I was 8 years old then. I have seen a great deal of change in the city. After 9-11-01, the city is slowly but surely changing. It appears that poor people (mostly blacks and hispanics) are being slowly pushed out by an abusive rent increase all over the place. People are paying over $1000 to rent an apartment in a ghetto area, not to mention Park Avenue or places like Park Slope.

Am I the only person who feels that the city of New York will someday (sooner than later) become a city for the rich and wealthy alone?

Your reply?

..into a house simply by taking over the payments for the person who is having financial troubles. So I sign up and get a listed of houses for which I have to send out letters to let the owners know that I'm interested in purchasing thier home basically for what they owe on it.

It this even legal, and can I even do something like this? The company says that they handle the financing for you once the people agree to it, is this possible? Even if I handle the financing myslef, how do I go about doing this?

This is all my own fault, and my friends fault. We are up to our ears in credit card debt, and our mortgage rates are going up in one month to top things off. Our credit scores suck at this time. I make $630 every two weeks, and my share of the mortgage is $644 a month, not to mention car payments, insurance, gasoline, food, cell phone, a 2nd mortgage $6,000, ect. Thats just the tip of the iceburg. We can't pay this months mortgage because theres no money,AND THIS IS WHY WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE THIS CONDO AFTER TWO YEARS OF PAYING ON TIME. What would you do? They sent us a Buy-out papers to give to some friends of ours that MIGHT buy it, but I feel its going to not happen...

I moved out of my apartment on Nov 5, 2007. Since moving out, I didn’t hear from my landlord for 3 weeks. I called him to inquire about my security deposit and to remind him about the 30 day timeframe by which he had to mail it.

On Dec 3 I received a notice from the USPS notifying me of a certified letter which they attempted to deliver. I assume that this certified letter was from my landlord. I visited the post office the next day to retrieve my certified mail, however I was told that they could not find the letter. I was given the number to the office where the mail is sorted and I called them. I spoke with them several times over a week and the letter is still lost.

I notified my landlord about this on Dec 11, but have gotten no response from him.

Since I notified him about USPS losing my security deposit, is there an amount of time defined by law by which he must resend my security deposit? Or can I sue him since I never received it within 30 days in the first place?

ok, here's the deal. we have been living in this place for about 5 months and suddenly out of the blue the landlady says that we either come up with 1600 buck or she is moving in. she calls this morning to tells us that either way she is moving in. leagaly is it true that if she accepts the money she cant kick us out? its a month to month lease. and over the past few months she raises it to 500 bucks more, not to mention the house still needs work that was promised to be done when we moved in.
