What can be done if a heartless mother is throwing us out?

Answered 13 years ago by Erven T. Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
She can't evict you legally without a court order, so wait until she ties to do so and fight the eviction in court. Since you don't have a long term agreement, you will eventually be required to leave in all likelihood.

Is it legal for Co-op to change rules and regulations?

Answered 13 years ago by Ward F. McDonough (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. The only way that t his questions could be answered would be if you provided Co-Op Rules. There generally is a provision for these kind of issues in the Rules. If there is no provision, I would lsuggest that you call a meeting of the Co-Op for discussions of the matter. See what the feeling is of the whole group and determine if it is a real issue. If yes, prepare a statement of issues and suggested resolution. Is there a gate or opening that you can use to get back in? If not, this should be a requirement. If you are not allowed to re-enter, you are being prevented from "use" of the Co-Op. goodluck... Read More

LEASE AGREEMENT..IS THIS LAWFUL?

Answered 13 years ago by R. Christopher Reade (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The answer is largely dependent upon the type of lease and reasonableness of restrictions.  The statement that the property is only to be used for insurance purposes is confusing.  A restriction that the utilities are to remain in Landlord's name is not unusual; however you are entitled to be sure that you do not pay more than your pro rata portion of utilities.  The Landlord can restrict your pets so long as spelled out in the lease; however the Landlord cannot kick your dog without provocation or cause.  However the deprivation of utilities is good cause for action....

Moving out early from an apt due to medical needs

Answered 13 years ago by R. Christopher Reade (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
 NRS 118A.340 addresses this situation.  Regardless of what the lease requires, Nevada law provides that "if a physical or mental condition of a tenant requires the relocation of the tenant from his or her dwelling because of a need for care or treatment that cannot be provided in the dwelling and the tenant is 60 years of age or older or has a physical or mental disability: (a)tenant may terminate the lease by giving the landlord 30 days' written notice within 60 days after the tenant relocates."   Therefore there is a 30 days notice requirement which must contain reasonable verification of the existence of the physical or mental condition of the tenant; and that the physical or mental condition requires the relocation of the tenant from his or her dwelling because of a need for care or treatment that cannot be provided in the dwelling....

Can my boyfriend force his ex-girlfriend to sell their joint property? What happens to the second mortgage?

Answered 13 years ago by Erven T. Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
He cannot force her to sell her interest. Depending on how the title is held (joint tenancy, tenants in common, etc.), he could sue for a partition and sell his 505 if he could find a buyer, which is doubtful. He could tell her that if she doesn?t agree to a sale, which would probably be a short sell involving a negotiation with the second mortgage holder, he will stop paying the mortgage and they will lose the house to foreclosure. That is a bad outcome, however, since it would ruin his credit.... Read More
