I depends on your arangement. If you were hired to tile their kitchen floor for ....lets say $1,000.00, material and labor. You figured their floor is 300 sq/ft but you purchase 330 sq/ft of tile, thinking you may need extra. It turns out, you only needed 280 sq/ft. Any material left over after the job is yours, after all, you purchased it! You were hired to tile the floor, the floor is tiled. Get your check and the extra tile is your to do with as you wish.\n\nYour customer is wanting to keep the extra material? Thats nuts! I guess if you purchased a new hammer while on the job he would keep that also. \n\nNow, if you quoted him a labor price and he pay for material, then the material is his.  \n\nNext time, don't leave extra material on the job. Leave it in the truck and use it as you need it. After you finish with a portion of the project, clean up all trash and leftover material.\n\nGood luck,

It is still legal.It sound as though it's got a Deed Of Covenent on it,which does stoop you from building.This next bit will take some unravelling.You'll need a solicitors hellp,as you will need to find the original owner,and see if they will agree to remove the covenent.It may cost quite a bit of money.

It depends on the age of the house and the extent of any damage done to the house (if any).  Rarely will it cause much of a snag in property value because owners usually take precaution to have the infested area treated before severe damage is done.  In addition if you live in an area prone to get termites such as Houston, its not an uncommon thing to find a house that has been treated.  If the structure of your home is okay and you have the house inspected and the report comes back clean I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you have a basement or attic you can keep her "treasures" in? If she has her own room she could keep what is neccesery to her and find a place to hang other keepsakes precious to her somewhere else so she can always look on those items and not feel like when she moved in you didn't just throw her belongings somewhere else. [Like a personal wall, room, all of that stuff] About the part of you might not take it anymore...you could go to a journal website or start a personal diary. Thats all I can think of but I am pretty sure someone has a better idea.

Yes.  If you can prove that the repairs make the home unlivable than you can try to make a case for the landlord to put you in another unit of equal or greater value until the repairs are finished.

Find out if there was an agreement with the original owner of the adjoining lot to allow the tank to be built there.  If it has been there for several years, you may have the right to keep it there.  Make sure you do not piss off your neighbors because most likely they have the right to ask you to have it removed.

Not unless it's been damaged. If it were, the previous tenant would pay for it with the security deposit.

Some charities will take them off your hands so they can refurbish them and give to needy people.  I have also donated components to the Salvation Army.

Well, if the house still has a mortgage, you will only own the part that is already paid.  Say, the house is worth 300k, but there is only 200k left on the mortgage.  You will only own the 100k that was already paid for.  However, before you jump on it, you will still be liable for everything that comes with the house.  All, the liens, pending cases, all taxes, all settlements that are currently being paid, all workers that have worked on the house but have not been paid yet, etc etc.  So, after you do the paperworks and assume the position of the new owner, everything related to the house is yours.  I dont see a problem, but do consult a lawyer to have him dig up everything on the house.  I mean, if its left to you, you will not  be liable for anything against the house unless your name is on the deed.  Because someone leaves something to you and now you owe because someone is suing the owner of the house for 2 million.  How is that fair?  But, check up on it, and after everything is fine, you can take possession.

If you havent used the item in 2 years, you can probably do without it. Ebay is great for stuff like that. You'll find that if you throw this stuff away you will never miss it. And of all the stuff you toss, its more worth it to have a clean, unmessy house and buy what you need when necessary than to have a house full of junk. It clutters the mind as well as the house!

this is a little bit vague, but I am guessing you mean real property, right? depending on the state you live in, real property ownership records are usually public, and if you go to the county property records someone can help you.  There may be a fee involved.

If you have someone elses property and do not give it back, that is a crime in many states ( depends on your state law)  it is called theft by conversion ( refusl to give it back)\n\nDoes not matter if insured or not.\n\n** of course you may just sue them in small claims court for the value of the goods.\n\n** and of course you can do both

Yes, I think so.  He needs to put back the cherry trees and do what is was that you originally asked him to do...OR you need to get an estimate of repairs from another contractor and make the first one pay for it.\nTake pictures of what the property looks like now, for proof.  Get enough cash from him before you give back his stuff.  Maybe also report to the police that he has equipment with serial numbers altered.  Possibly they can find out if was stolen.   Be careful, he sounds like a bad guy.

Unless you have a contract stating otherwise you will have to give it all back.\n\nCoach

Not if you ask first.  Some stores reuse them and some don't.  There are some business that pay to ahave them hauled off.  Just ask.
