can i have my tenant sign a liability waver form?

Sure, but don't expect it to release you from any liability.\n\nPeople can't sign away their rights.  Such an agreement is worthless.  \n\nYour best bet is to just have a good liability policy on the condo and to correct any unsafe conditions or hazards. \n\nPeople don't get piles of money just because they slip and fall.  There has to be a hazard or uncorrected condition that either causes or contributes to the fall and subsequent injury.  \n\nIf your patio blocks are uneven and they fall and break their leg, they have a case.  If they trip over their own magazine rack and break their leg, they don't have a case.

Yes it is. You have the option here to sign and return the papers within a reasonable time frame (may or may not be specified in the option) or don't. If you do not, be prepared to move as you will have no legal right to the property one day after your lease expires.

Go to the blue pages of your phone book and look up the number for your city or township government. Call the number and ask for assistance with your rental regarding a safety violation. Once it's reported, you will probably find a legal way to put your rent in an escrow account until the work is done. Especially effective if the WHOLE BUILDING does the same thing!\nBut you need to get the gov't on your side and do everything by the book or you could get a black mark on your references.\n\nCity government is there to help you.

Simple!\nAsk any legal secretary or, copy a similar statute, for the form you need....

When you had the contract for sale drawn up, did it include a clause that there were no known pending assessments on the property?  Did you review the association minutes to see if anything out of the ordinary was discussed?  Sometimes a pending assessment will even show up in a title search if the attorney for the condo assoc. has filed it in an attempt to alert potential buyers to that possibility. \n\nYou can file a form with the post office that says you need their new address in order to serve them with a subpoena.  Some states even allow you to send in a request to the DMV for a current address for process of service.\n\nDidn't they put their forwarding address on their 1099 certification form at the closing?  You could also do a property tax search in their current town to see if they own any property and have them served at that address. \n\n"most lawyers will give you thirty minutes to figure out of you've got a case or not (they're looking to see if they can make money with it). "  Oh please ... time is money and no one gives money away for free.  These types of matter are NOT taken on a contingency basis.  Very few cases are taken on a contingency basis, and 95% of those are personal injury matters or workers comp.  Those are the only two matters that are virtually guaranteed to get a free consult.

I am an experienced letting agent. Your agent should have requested permission before re-signing the tenant. However, this can be via a phone call so you may have diffiulty in proving the agent did not have your concent. Does it create a problem for you or are you just annoyed at the agent? if its the latter , then why bother taking it further? if it does cause you a problem and you have a wriiten apology from the agent that proves they should not have re-signed the tenant then you MAY be able to sue the agent for any loss you have suffered. However, it may be difficult to get the tenant out before the end of the new agreement. it will also depend on the terms and conditions that you signed when you instructed the agent. If you happen to be in Southampton, email me and i will help further.

Rider A could be anything, a pet deposit, limit to number of tenants, anything, it is merely a modification of the lease agreement. Don't sign anything with missing pages., And he should not be too busy to get you a compete copy of the lease. He wants your money, he should be responsive like any other enterprise.

Ask the apartment complex owner for a copy-by law they have to give you one.  And you should have gotten one when you signed up for the apartment-if you didn't you are not responible for paying such a fee-if you didn't get one anyways

Just specify it in the lease, and your tenants will be bound by it.  You can charge the tenants for damage they cause from leaking oil.  You probably can't do anything about the out-of-state registrations, these are probably members of the military that have their cars registered at their home states which is legal.

this is a pretty general question.\nLandlords may or may not have to do this.\nsome cities force large apt buildings and businesses to put in handicapped signs and some to do not.\nthis also depends on the state or country you are in.\nalso some localities do not force this on landlords with only a few apartments. Just because he is a landlord doesnt mean he must put in a sign.\nBe specific if you need a better answer.

You have an enforceable contract that has been breached. However, your contract is for a month-to-month rental, since he did not sign the lease. You passed up other tenants as consideration for the agreement and that should be enough to bind him to month-to-month status which makes him responsible for giving 30 days notice to end to agreement.  It may be argued that that you have a lease agreement by estoppel because you passed on the other prospective tenants, and that he should be held liable for rent and all expenses until you find a replacement or the lease is up. You have a duty to mitigate damages. You will need to seek another roommate ASAP. Any additional costs in finding a new roommate may also be added to your claim. \n\nPhoenix has a very good small claims court. (I lost to someone there because I could not attend the hearing in person).  Depending on the amount of your claim, you may be able to handle it yourself as a small claim, but if the amount of damages exceeds the limits, you would be forced to file in regular court. Good luck.

Many years ago I had to evict a tenant in Texas and at the time all I had to do was write a letter, have it notarized had have the county constable serve notice. Things may have changed since the 1980's so I would suggest you check with the local housing authority.

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.

There are so many possible "pitfalls" that I can't begin to describe them here.  Most commercial leases I've seen are 30-40 pages of single-spaced typing on legal size paper.  That means an awful lot of possible pitfalls.\n\nI recommend that you have the lease reviewed by an attorney before you sign.  The attorney will explain each of the provisions to you and may be able to negotiate some of those possible pitfalls with the landlord.

I agree with Tom T.  I'm a landlord AND an attorney, and while you may not legally be forced to sign a new lease, as your landlord I would explain to you that you knew very well that you had to pay an additional pet fee, and you acknowledge that you should be paying that higher amount but for my assistant's honest error.\n\nTherefore, what I'd probably end up doing is looking for every opportunity to be a stickler on the rules.  If your cat/dog steps a paw out of line, if your party gets a bit too loud, etc.  If you want to slide through the cracks on your rent because "technically" you don't have to pay more, I'd be looking for every "technicality" to show you the pendulum can swing both ways.  It's just human nature.\n\nIt's just like an employer - while there are certainly things they can't legally fire you for, if an employer wants to get rid of you, they can usually find a legal way of doing it.\n\nThe bottom line is, you're not setting a very good precedent for a positive, constructive relationship with your landlord if you know you should be paying more but you're taking advantage of an honest error.  The mature, honest thing to do would be to sign the modified lease.  I'd let them know, however, that legally you don't have to, but you're trying to "do the right thing."  As a landlord, I'd then feel like I really needed to cut you some slack when other stuff happened (like your rent is a day or two late).\n*****************\nYou have not retained my services as an attorney, and I am not representing you in any manner.  Nothing I have written is to be construed as legal advice.  If you have questions about your legal issues, it is strongly recommended that you consult with an attorney who is admitted to practice in the state where you reside.

i really think they should have a rent control for something like your situation.  most company's can do a write off.. i have rental accomadations and if someone swallows their pride and approaches me.. i can write them a deal.  i just wrote a deal last year and it gave me a nice perk from the governement. taxes.but i can not read minds.. maybe your present building owner or assoc..will cut you a deal.. we have not mastered mind reading...you have to ask..

yes.  In fact contractors lien's have to be litigated within a year.  If the litigation concerns real estate, the "lis pendens" (notice of litigation)  also acts as a lien.
