Thanks for all the advice. You guys are awesome. Last night, I immediately sent an email to the other realtor with details of my brokers contact info. I also explained the situation to my broker and told them to send it back. I use an online broker for 100 percent commission and low fees. The...

Thanks for your response. I have near perfect credit. And I want to be sure, if I just ignore the notice, the collection agency will not report to the credit agencies? Since sectionals say payment is optional or voluntary, I will assume it will not effect my credit score.

I live in Texas. I received a letter in the mail for a traffic camera violation in the city of Humble, for which they claim I did not come to a complete stop before turning right on red. According to the Texas Transportation Code 707.021, “A local authority may not issue a civil or criminal...

I live in Texas. I have a realtors license and am the homeowner in this situation. I use an online broker, since they charge very low fees. I recently listed my property for rent. Since it was my property, I entered no commission on my side, and $1500 for the realtor on the other side. The...

I appreciate the advice. I mean that honestly. I had tenants schedule to move in to the property as is, the day after my tenants lease ended. I believe sometimes a little finesse is needed. I would of been in trouble if my old tenant just decided to not move out, or damage the property even...

I ended up getting 3/4 of the last months rent. I negotiated this with my tenant and decided not to press the issue of the full months rent just to increase the chances, the property would be left in an optimal condition. This did not work out for me. The tenant snuck in a pet that was not on...

I live in Texas. My tenant is paid up through July 31st. Her lease ends on August 15th. She has not paid the last 1/2 months rent. She wants me to take it out of her security deposit. I explained to her it does not work that way. I know there is damage to the floors and walls from having other...

Thanks everyone so much for your responses and explaining things in layman's terms. I feel an uphill battle, but will proceed just based on the principle of the matter. I will advise here no matter the outcome. Cheers,

I am planning on filing the civil suit today. I have pictures and lots of documentation. If I have even a 50 percent chance of being reimbursed for vet bills, I would like to try. From the answers I read here, it seems quincy thinks there is a chance I may be reimbursed for full price of vet...

Yes, the cat survived. He will take months to heal and probably walk with a limp forever.

Thanks for your responses everyone. Please help me understand how fair market value determined? I paid $50 for the cat 10 months ago. The cat is almost 1 year old. Does this mean a judge would only order $50 of the $1000 vet billed be paid as a judgement? If this is really the case, it makes...

I live in Texas. A pit bull mix got into my fenced back yard. Luckily, I was working from home and right next to the back patio. The dog attacked by sleeping cat on my back patio. I immediately ran outside and hit the dog and he let go of my cat. I called the police. They came and removed the...
