Are there any ways to get this taken off his credit or any loans we may be eligible for? Currently we are still renting.

Yes, it depends on how long ago, but if you have other good factors (good rental payment history never paid more than 30 days late) & good payment history on your credit you should be able to get a home loan. Depending on your job stability, income, etc. also will play a role.  Depending on how the whole credit history looks you may still be able to get a zero down mortgage, or worst case may need to put a down payment.  Also, if your credit is better try to do it in just your name, if you dont make enough income perhaps you can do a no-qualifing loan.

We have a joint account, and also a seperate account. The joint account is savings. He pays bills and rent, i pay everything else, and it works out even. (ofcourse if one is short we'll back them up, but it works out easier than checking up on the other all the time to ensure they are not spending the "our" money on silly things - ie video games)

There is one an only way to get your money or part of it back. In a very innocent way ask him to sell to you something valuable he owns, like a laptop or TV set. Tell him that you need this item and that you would pay him in a few days, (it is incredible but this kind of people almost always believe that) and do not pay him until he pays you.  I had done it many, times and believe me, it works.

First, you have a great husband.  He cares enough to clean up the mess.  Sue the ex-f***head for the balance of the paid-off loan, and tell the lending agency to enter it into his credit file.  Secondly, try opening a "mad-money" savings account for your spending moo...Make sure your husband is aware of it, too.  Put 20% of your LEFT OVER money (after bills) in it each paycheck and then save for what you want.  When you have 20% over your purchase price, go ahead and get your goodies and owe nobody!  Sounds like your husband has been listening to Dave Ramsey.  You two should take the "Financial Peace University" course.  When you've been debt-free for 10 years you will see just exactly how much you have in the bank and it will amaze you.  Have a great life with that great guy!

Smartest thing to do is make a contract/statement up stating person has lived there so n so months "rent free" (your choice or not?)and has no job wanted to do your best to help said person on their feet, all has failed, now are giving the person X ammount of days to get out,or contribute. Have that person sign it, with your signature as well. wouldnt hurt to give that person a copy as well you keep the original! \nFor future references its best to have "Everything in WRITING" And keep as many expense reciepts as well.

Try to find a rent to own. My husband and I had bad credit and wanted our own home. \nWe looked in our daily local newspaper and found a 3 bedroom -2 bathroom ,2+ acres and all we had to do was sign the lease and give a 1000.00 down and we were in.\nA lot of rent to owns don't do a credit check. \nWe pay 640.00 a month and that includes insurance and water.\nWe pay 200.00 a yr in taxes. We have now been in our home 1 yr and loving it!

You might wanna check the renters law in your state. But if he got a 30 day notice, and it was  a month to month rent agreement. He can't charge u rent at all. He should have started advertising the apartment when you gave him the notice. And advertising fees are his problem not yours. I say don't pay and if he insists tell him you will take him to small claims court. Or sometimes the city has a mediation department that resolves disputes like those. call your county clerk and find out.

It is kinda low of him to withhold your property like that, however, it is a landlords right in many states to withhold certain property until full payment is made. If you want your stuff back I would pay him what you owe as to avoid being sued make sure to get a receipt for your payment. Good Luck

all i can say is be honest. Explain that your credit history isnt the greatest but point out that you have always paid your rent.Some landlords will be understanding. A good work history is always helpful; as well.

Tell him, that if his check or credit card "bounces", how are you going to know where to look for him...\n\nAlso, if he pays cash, and then trashes the room, you still want to know where you can "track him down!"\n\nThink of it as a short-term rental agreement. He doesn't get what he wants, until you get what you need, or at least have the "security" to know how you would be able to recover that consideration in the future, should the need arise!

I don't believe he can legally do that without a court order.  My step-father owns a couple of rental properties.  And when someone is behind on their rent even if they are really behind he has to go through all this legal garbage before he can do anything.  And even with a court order for their eviction then he has to get a sheriff to remove them from the apartment if they still aren't moved out by the date that the judge orders them too.  The whole process is long, expensive, and stressful for the landlord.  That is probably why that person's landlord is just trying to get them out by boarding up the place.  They should call the police and have them deal with it.  Good luck to your friend.

Go to City Hall and tell them your situation. Sometimes your local Chamber of Commerce can help. \n\nMy Parents had a renter who signed an agreement - but in your case (i don't know the technical term) there is a presumption of verbal contract.\n\nThe Renter would have to prove he did pay the rent with signed receipts.  Its your property, and anybody can be evicted for any number of reasons - especially if the rent is not paid.\n\nMy Parents went to City Hall - cant recall who they talked to - but signed an Eviction Form which the police delivered to the renter. The Police Department also enforced the eviction. (there may or may not be a small fee involved but its not much if any)\n\nIf this, or anyone elses answer is better.., is helpful be sure to click the Best Answer option for that person. (for anybody with a best answer). Too many people are asking questions and never give the best answer any credit at all.\n\nGood luck - I know how hard that situation must be.  DO NOT LISTEN TO SOB STORIES IF and only IF you have already been put off two or more times after trying to work with them.\n\nDO NOT GET THEM TO SIGN A RETRO DATED AGREEMENT FORM!  I'm no expert but Im pretty sure thats a bit underhanded if not illegal. Unless the Police or City Hall suggests it - DONT.

Your best bet is to contact the places that you leased and ask them who does their debt collection services for them. Once you have this information contact the collection company and offer them a settlement of half the amount you owe. tell them this is the only way you can pay this debt. if they come back with an offer that is anything more than half refuse it and hang up . Wait a few days to see if they call with a new offer. If they dont , call them and make sure that you talk to a different agent and make the half offer again . believe me they will take it because half is better than none. Now if it was from an eviction it will hurt you in the future whether you pay it or not but it is better on your credit to pay it. A lawyer on something like this is a waste of money when you can handle it so easily yourself. they will try to be strong with you at first but dont believe their lies and stick to your guns on the half. Good Luck !!!!

Owes 60k? on credit cards alone and only makes 60?. Real world is he couldnt borrow 5K. If he legally owes you, not some number you have decided you could get a judgement and garnish his wages. Probably the best you can do.

The fact that he's payed at all is evidence of your verbal agreement. You could sue, but if you want to improve your chances of a successful suit, I'd get something written out of him first (just a signed note promising to pay the back-rent due will be an extra sign of the verbal agreement). Put it nicely though - say that you need it for your Bank Manager or something, so they know you'll be able to pay off an overdraft. Once you have that, file your suit, and give him notice to quit the property. Because he's resident at your property he may actually have tenant's rights despite not paying rent or having a contract, so give notice properly, and do everything from that point on through your solicitor.

If this guy is charging you for rental receipts, he obviously needs to learn a little something about doing business.  I can just see it now... you're in court and the judge hears that he is charging you for receipts... well, anyway, a receipt would be a reasonable request for a payment made.  As the recipient of the payment, it is customary for the landlord to "absorb" the cost of the receipt regardless of whether it's $.45 or $45,000,000, unless of course, this jerk put it in your rental agreement that you are responsible for the charge.  Either way, you should seriously consider finding another landlord.  And here's another tip:  whenever you move into a rental property, take pictures of everything on the property and date them with witnesses!  I once moved from a rental and the landlady would not return my security deposit because she said that I did "extensive damage" to the home.  The pictures she produced were from another property that I'd never been to.  The court said she has pics, you don't... YOU LOSE!  Protect yourself, it cost me a grand.
