      contract expiration dates

      Sorry, this is from a Florida real estate lawyer's website. But he was referencing the standard Florida real estate contracts, which we did not use. They specifically state that there will be an extension if the closing date falls on a weekend or holiday...

      city foreclosing on code violation liens

      Are they considered 'unpaid' if the city foreclosed on those liens and the property was sold to a third party at the auction but the auction didn't bring enough to cover the total liens? I know with a bank foreclosures, the bank puts in their bid, if no one out bids them, they get the property...

      Maximum late fee charge on a promissory note with a commercial property mortgage?

      Thanks for the reply, yeah, unfortunately he is one of those dodos. The late fees are very clearly spelled out. He said he was late on many of the payments that he did make but I have not seen the break down of the late fees. If they are charging a late fee for every month each payment was...

      Maximum late fee charge on a promissory note with a commercial property mortgage?

      Florida I was able to find that, according to Florida statute, there is a maximum late fee of 5% of the payment due that a lender can charge on a "high-cost home loan". I can not find if there is a maximum for a mortgage on a commercial property. The lender is charging $150 on a $750 payment...

      60 day notice now a 3 day notcie??

But we need to know if it was a 'pay or quit', did she pay her rent, did the LL accept her portion and/or section 8's portion of the rent, what date did she pay, what...

      Apartment Fire and Backrent

      You said that you had renter's insurance, sometimes that includes personnal liability. You should check with them, you might be covered if you are at fault and they should defend you if you're not, at least that's what my insurance told me they would do.

      Animal Cruelty...Breaking Lease

      Now, I'm not a lawyer but my understanding when you rent a place is that you are entitled (unless otherwise stated in your lease) to the use and quiet enjoyment of the place you're renting. It sounds like you're renting a room in his house or on his property (ie garage apt). If there are illegal...
