A court can only order a financial judgement. They can't "make" the person who lost pay up. There are no debtors prisons if one refuses to pay. However, with a judgement issues like bank and wage garnishment (depending on the state this took place in and where his finances come from) can be...

The lease lists all who can live there (i.e., the names of the folks on the lease)...and by the way, since the ex-husband is listed, he is still responsible for the rent unless the landlord has released him from the lease. And no, your landlord does not have to wait until March to evict you...

Good lord. You've just done an illegal eviction on this person. Not only was this an illegal move on your part; you had no business doing this in the first place. Only the LANDLORD can initiate the process of eviction and even in that case, THEY cannot evict anyone. Only a court can grant...

If you wish to know where the landlord gets $150 a week from, you will need to ask them. Can she force you to pay? Well, no one can really force you to do anything. However, she can consider the process of eviction for breach of the lease contract by allowing more people than are listed on...

Your lease specifies who can live there; you, your husband and your 2 children. You do not have the right to agree to let others move in with you without permission from the landlord. Your relatives are not guests who only visit for a short period of time and then go back to live in their...

If you break your contract (based on the claim that the owners broke theirs) and they sue you for such, how are you going to prove you were damaged by their actions? Have the back mortgage, taxes and insurance payments now been paid or is there a risk that the home will go into foreclosure...

The time for her to inspect whether these were "real" UGG boots was before she forked over her money for them. Will she sue you? Perhaps, although many threaten and few actually go through with this. Gail

Yes; although you too have a case for her doing an illegal lockout and keeping some of your items. Gail

In New York? A considerable amount of time, depending on the judge and how seriously the tenant plays the disability card. New York (especially New York City) can be a challenging place to evict someone. Gail

You are certainly entitled to both your last months rent and your security deposit. The time limit you mention describes the amount of time your landlord has to either return your deposit or provide information regarding the status of such. In Washington state, this must be done within 14...

Attached are the steps to filing for an eviction in the state of California: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/evictions.shtml Gail

Have they shown you any written proof from the landlord that this is going to actually take place? Gail

If your son is making physical threats against you, then contact the police. Often otherwise they will not step into the issue, citing this as a civil, not criminal situation. With no backing from law enforcement, parents often find that filing for an eviction moves hesitant and defiant...

Your first post states that you acknowledge that your leaving the heat off was probably a major factor in the pipes freezing... Gail P.S. I do the electrical work in the houses we own.

The listing agent did make an excellent point and it is good that it worked out well for you. Showing a house when a tenant still resides there is often quite a hassle, both for the tenant and the seller. Gail

Due care means that you have, at the very least, very basic common sense when it comes to caring for property. Something that one would assume a college student (and now a new home owner) would possess. The required standard of conduct when one lives in a cold environment such as Wisconsin in...

Quixnox - what state did this take place in? gail

I disagree, as I disagreed with your same posting on forum free advice. You had possession of the property; the pipes burst due to your negligence (and frugality). There is no "magic" device that suddenly turns on a furnace that has been shut off. Do you have documentation that you...

No. Gail

While all tenants who signed the lease are liable for rent until 1. the end of the lease or 2. they find someone to take over their share of the lease, they are not liable for utilities that they are not using. It's a bit much to expect them to pay for heat and light when the only person using...
