You'd have to explicitly agreed to it in a contract that you signed.

I would call a lawyer for a free counsutation about this. They may be charging you because you were directly involved in the jobs, doing the work.

Yes it's legal, especially if you haven't responded to your landlords attempts to contact you.  You could try and countersue for pain and suffering caused by humiliation but you'd almost certainly lose.

Referrals fees or agreements between licensed agents/brokers are allowed.  Otherwise, I believe it is a kickback and illegal.  I also found an article from the Seattle Times that might help. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/realestate/2002660974_harney04.html

you need to sue the management company.  find a lawyer who deals with that sort of litigation.  your dues are to be used to maintain the grounds and other amenities.  Obviously that is not happening and on top of that it looks like they are not getting dues at this point in order to fix the grounds.\n\nlegal action.  get the community to file together.

Yes. you are being ripped off! you can contact the higher authorities at your work, meaning the ones above your manager. if they dont sort this out, you might want to contact the department of Labor and lodge a complaint with them with a copy of your agreement. also you might want to seek the advice of an attorney after showing him a copy of your contract and you can proceed according to his advice.

This question screams for a lawyer.\n\nIf both businesses are sole proprietorships, you could make the case that you had sold the business to him to make good your rental debts. Technically, in a transaction like this, the buyer of a company takes on both the assets AND the liabilities... Unfortuantely this sounds like a sales contract was not drawn up.\n\nI suggest, since you're obviously not rich, that you at least seek some pro bono guidance from a legal clinic. Good luck.

Yeah, slightly.  My advice to you would be to make a complaint to your city council.  Now, I'm not legal expert or anything, so that's the best I can suggest.

There are laws that u can go after them if they didn't disclose something major like previous flood damage and such.  Talk to the Realtor who hooked u up.

Well, the law in specifics is different from state to state.  But my best advice (I'm only a former legal secretary, not a lawyer) is to remove the rubbish to the appropriate dump or whatever, and charge their escrow account for its removal.  If you dump it on their new place, you would be liable for their damages in cleaning it up.\n\nIf escrow has already closed, you can still sue them in small claims court for the costs of removal.\n\nRemember, you want the problem resolved, not escalated into a feud.

i'm not sure what part of the situation you own and who is renting from you, but here goes....\n\nif you bought a single home and you are turning it into 2 apartments, then i would defintiely check on the zoning issues with that.  \n\nif the neighbors are complaining, then too bad for them. they could try to petition it, which if enough people had issue, they could win.\nMy aunt lives in the town i grew up in and they were going to build some prject housing near her development.  the people of the town petitioned it and won.  \n\nyour situation is hardly similar in that it wouldn't affect the neighbor's value that much.\n\nalso, be aware, that if you try to do this project w/out proper zoning, and the neighbors find out...well, they could make a stink.\n\nnow, if you're talking about people already living in the home you bought and they don't want it divided, well, then you will need to consult their lease agreement with the old company.  if you bought it under the willingness of upholding their lease, then you're stuck.  if the previous owner sold it, then the lease is with them, not you and you can do kick them out if you please.\n\ni'll put this on my watchlist, so hopefully, you'll give some more details and i might help some more.

Check your CC&Rs (Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions) which sets out the rules for condo residents.  It should set out specifically what consequences there may be for unpaid fees to the HOA.  But I agree, why don't you just pay it?

You can make a conditional offer.  Your own agent should know this.  The offer is only valid on the condition that the property passes inspection.  You can make an offer and they are REQUIRED to have the utilities turned on for inspection purposes.  Make sure you only give them 14 days in which to do this or they will drag their feet.  If they offer you the results of an inspection that they supposedly had done already... RUN!\n\nIf your agent doesn't know how to do this, get another agent fast!

No this is not legal! You get your wages and then YOU pay your bills. My company does not pay my bills for me!

yes they can do this... they should really wait until your lease is up to make any kind of changes... make sure that they give you written notification of this... you may want to ask the new landlords to keep it the same... where you still pay for the water...

Sure why not, your not charging him rent so yea it's legal for a period of time just not indefinitely and as long as he does not come out of the trailer naked and urinates on the neighbors lawns your in good shape.

Go ahead, use force and then they can sue your friend, and then he won't be your friend any more. \n\nAre they really trashy, or just poor?  If they pay their rent, then not having furniture or hanging blankets in windows is not an indicator of trashiness.\n\nHow about this?  Does he keep the plumbing up? Does he flake out and pass the water bill over to his tenants even though there's only one meter and originally he was going to cover this by charging $50 extra per month in the rent?  Now the upstairs is still owed 50% of the water bill by the downstairs?  Does he refuse to get the upstairs people a mailbox?  Does he move marijuana smoking punkers downstairs that are up till three a.m. playing their music and then yelling at the normal people for being awake in the daytime?  Does he care to fix a dishwasher which is leaking into the downstairs apt, which he promised to fix on day one, along with the tub plumbing that's starting to make a huge spot on the ceiling downstairs?  It's the only bathroom, are the renters supposed to not bath indefinately while paying twice the rent of comparable units in the are? Does he insist the upstairs people take care of the gardening, without covering the cost of gardening tools?  Does he refuse to put in writing that there is a refund for the person who is paying 100% of the water bill for both apartments and covering the gardening efforts with her kids?  Did he offer to sell the entire house to both tenants before they even signed a rental lease and cause the one downstairs to go into fuedal mode because of this?  Could the fact he's not fixing anything be because he wants to sell the house right away and never intended to be a real landlord.  If your friend is anything like this, then HE is a slumlord. You're both more trashy than the people you want to kick out.
