    Custodial Parent relocation

    Have your wife speak with the ex-husband privately about this matter. You stay out of it. Perhaps she can make him agree to this without going to court. Does he have a legal leg to stand on in regards to protesting this move? Yes. He is the father and, even though you provide the majority...

    water damage

    Yes. They addressed the issue of the damage that you did by causing the leak. Couple of years ago I had a downstairs toilet overflow and soak my carpet in my foyer. Repairs meant the carpet had to be pulled up from the corners, fans brought in to dry them out (and running for several days)...

    21 day window

    What does the lease say in terms of giving notice? Often such notice must be in writing, not verbal so that either party has documentation of this. Gail

    Damages charged Beyond 21day Return Window

    Did the tenant make certain the landlord was notified of the tenants new address? Was any information regarding the security deposit (i.e., itemized list, remaining security deposit) returned at all? If so, how long after the 21 day state requirement? In order to be considered for double...

    have a problem with landlord wanting to fix things, like HEAT for one thing

    Your options... 1. Since you have a tenancy at will (i.e., a month to month lease) you can provide 30 days written notice to the landlord and find another place to rent if you wish. 2. You can contact the local code inspector regarding the lack of heat; they will likely give the landlord a...

    Pregnant by Married Man

    Your post is confusing. You do not wish to disrupt this mans current family life but you are interested in the possibility of filing a paternity suit? You would like information on termination of his parental rights but you're also interested in child support? Filing for paternity is done...

    have a problem with landlord wanting to fix things, like HEAT for one thing

    No offense but you guys didn't see ANY of these problems when you checked out the place? What...exactly...do you wish to do? See if the lease can be terminated? Negotiate a lower cost to purchase this place (since it appears you are a handy person, albeit with limited time to fix things...

    The Wager I Want...

    No offense but please go back and read what your written. Unless you provide more information on what, specifically, you believe has taken place and how others have set you up for stake outs and sting operations, I'm afraid you come off as a bit of an arrogant, paranoid nutcase. Gail

    Questions about Disclosure statment

    Then your issue should be with the company/person who did the home inspection. I've never had a home inspection done where that person did not test both the heating and air conditioning systems and at least check up the flue of the chimney. If the power is off, many home inspectors bring...

    Questions about Disclosure statment

    "If the seller says something works, isn't it up to the realtor to check it out and MAKE sure it works before they say it does??" No. It is up to the BUYER to have such systems checked out prior to agreeing to the final purchase. You did have a home inspection done prior to closing on...

    Is landlord release of my personal information illegal?

    Sounds like management might have put the information down on the wrong line. Calling them up and letting them know this may clear it up and stop those phone calls from brokers. Gail

    Questions about Disclosure statment

    All of the disclosure statements I've seen tend to be one or two page documents that never address remodeling issues. The air conditioning may have worked when the original owners had it. And it sounds as if the fireplace is not blocked off, correct? Thus the original owners may have used...

    Lease purchase issues

    What are the possible consequences? Being sued for breaking this lease. NEVER enter a lease to own situation. Statistically the majority of these never work out for the renter. Gail

    Is landlord release of my personal information illegal?

    1.Yes. You do realize, don't you, that because you broke the lease you could certainly be held responsible for the remaining months on the lease until another tenant was found. 2. Yes. 3. No. Gail

    please help me

    Have you legally been determined to be the father of this little girl? You haven't paid child support (even voluntarily) and it appears you're waiting around for some court to tell you must do that. At what point does this not make you a deadbeat father? Gail

    city utility / rental property owner

    She needs to pay the bill so that utilities can be turned on again and she can begin renting to start receiving income on this property. While a lawyer MIGHT be able to hunt down the previous tenant, she will likely have better luck working with companies that provide "skip tracing" services...
