Can a landlord impose a new lease that has moral clauses in it like you cannot be drunk or do anything immoral or they can evict you imediately?

Answered 13 years and 10 months ago by Mr. Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate
Any term in a contract can be negotiated.  You are not required to sign the lease as it currently stands.  You have the option to negotiate the terms of the contract.  You should contact a local landlord/tenant attorney to determine your options and discuss the ramifications of signing any lease. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.... Read More

I am Sec/Treas. of a non-profit, tax exempt homeowner''s association. There are some people that say that we cannot charge a late fee.

Answered 13 years and 11 months ago by Mr. Charles Eddie Isom (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate
The answer probably depends upon the specific laws of your state and the manner in which the association is set up.  It may be that the association is simply an unincorporated association and the laws of your state do not provided that such an association (not a legal entity in the eyes of the State) does not have the right to enforce contracts, etc.  You may have to incorporate (become a legal entity in the eyes of the State) in order to enforce your agreements.  If the association is a legal entity, it should be able to enforce its agreements.  The purchase of a home within the subdivision should be made subject to the provisions of the subdivision restrictive covenants - including the association's rules and regulation.  Those rules can provide for late charges on dues.  You should confer with a good real estate attorney in your area.  A modest conference fee should clear up any deficiencies in your association's documents....

Answered 14 years and 2 months ago by Mr. Charles Eddie Isom (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate
You don't provide much detail.  You don't indicate whether this is just a casual inquiry about something in the contract, or whether you have defaulted for over 90 days and now find yourself losing the property. Let me just say that contracts are designed to "bind the parties" to the particular agreements contained in the document.  If the contract says you must not get behind with a payment more than 90 days or you will lose the property -- that is exactly what it means.  If you signed a contract bearing those terms, then you promised that you would live up to it or you would agree the property would be lost.  If there is any way to recover the fumble, it must be through another agreement.  See a good real estate lawyer in your area....
