| Renting an Apartment:
Question is in More Detail section. |
| In the case of a tenant moving out mid-billing period, is it legal for a university to force the remaining tenants to pay his or her part of the bill or should the roommate who moved out be responsible? |
| My girlfriend and I have joint ownership of a house. The mortgage is in my name. Upon break up what |
| The house we bought was my parents house. Being that her name is on the title I understand that she is part owner of the house. I have been paying the mortgage with no help financially from her. Which is fine since I make more money than her. We have both expressed that neither one of want move out. So I proposed that we sell the house. This was met with resistance. Can I make her sell her portion of the house? Can I make her remove her name on the title? What are our/my options? If we sell, Whatever the house sells at, is she entitled to half of the selling price? or what is left over, after the mortgage is paid off....How does this work?

| How do I remedy HOA Management company negligence? |
| I live in a townhouse in a HOA community.
My concrete patio is cracked and sunk in one corner in a way that collects water when it rains. My shed is also on top of the patio and because it has sunk 2 inches, on one side has a large gap under the door.
These are considered exterior improvements, which are the HOA''s responsibility. This was verified in writing by the HOA president, and the management company sent out someone to assess the situation.
The first person came out in April and did not know how to fix it.
The second person was supposed to come out a week later, but did not come until June, and they wanted too much to fix it. I am on the HOA board, and agreed that the estimate was too much, and requested more estimates.
The management company has told me every few weeks they will send someone out, but has never done so.
It is now 8 months later, and nothing has happened.
The work should be $3000-4000 and I don''t want to pay for that when it is their responsibility.

| Now in 12/2011 they decide that they no longer wantes to be married and they are trying to enforce this quitclaim. I want to know if they have any right to my portion since it was not due to a divorce and I was forced to sign this under duress. My thought is that they had planned this all along and it just took 6 years to complete. Not to mention that I remodelled the home and added additional square footage in 2009 that added another $200,000 to the property value that I do not want to lose.
They said that they did it to protect the family from creditors, which I do not believe. Also, if the property was deeded in both of our names, wouldn''t we both have to sign it as the "grantor" to them as the new "grantee". I was told that since that was how it was originally listed it would have to be filed that way and if not it would be invalid.
Finally, I was also told that the quitclaim could be invalid if our mortgage at that time stated that there could be no transfer while open. |
