what rights as a seller do you have when title of a mobile home is never transfered into the buyers name?

Posted on October 26, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

I sold a mobile home to an individual who never transfered title into his name. The individual has since abandoned the mobile home and is now residing in another city. Now the city treasurer and landlord on which the mobile home sits is harassing me for back monies as the title is still in my name. I do have a signed contract of sale by both parties and am wondering what rights I have as the seller in this situation. I am not looking for any monies from the purchaser, nor do I want to regain posession of the mobile home. I just want to be left alone in this matter as I do no longer own the property, and I do not feel I should be responsible for back taxes or back rent on the lot on which the mobile home sits.

Can a apartment landlord just kick you out with no notice?

Posted on October 25, 2011 by admin| 25 Comments

A friend of mine was told to be out of her apartment by the next day and the doors will be locked and they will keep all her stuff, her boyfriend who was living with her got in trouble alot and cops called alot for disturbing the peace and I understand why the landlord would want them to move but one day to find a new place, does that seem right? Just curious if this is legal or if this has happened to anyone else…then all the other apartments they looked into to rent they call there old landlord and of course she tells them no, not a good idea to rent to them, her boyfriend is nothing but trouble, so now they can’t even find a place to live…any comments…

Is my landlord BSing me? Read what they told me…?

Posted on October 5, 2011 by admin| 9 Comments

I had a 6 month lease, when it expired they sent us a paper asking if we wanted to renew our lease. It said to circle one of the options (renew for 1 year, renew for 6 months, or renew on a month-to-month basis) and then sign it. The different options had different rental proces associated with them.SO we circled “renew for 6 months” and signed it. It is my understanding that the purpose of the letter was to determine if we would be staying at the apartment complex, so they would know whether or not they could put it up for rent. Also, so they knew what terms to put on the lease. Shortly after this, they asked us to come in and sign the lease for our 6 month renewal. We haven’t, because things have changed and we decided we want to do month to month, b/c we need to move due 2 job reasons. When we went in to sign the lease (on a monthly basis), the landlord said that the little piece of paper we signed previously is legally binding- and that we have to stay the 6 mos. BS?!
we have not signed any leases yet… No where on the paper did it say that it was a contract.

Thanks in advance for your help everyone!

can landlord padlock door?

Posted on October 4, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

In NYS can a landlord padlock your door if you are in dispute over a portion of the rent? I deducted an amount for damage done to my sofa from my rent (Less than a third of my rent) from my current rent and I’m curious if they can lock me out of my apartment.

I rent. My stove has been broken for 4 days. My landlord says it could be another week before I get one. ? 2do

I rent. My landlord basically doesn’t care about these apartments. I’ve been without an oven for 4 days. He laughed and said it could be another week before I get another one because that’s just the way it is. I offered to go buy one and deduct it from the rent, and he absolutely said no and not to charge him for it. What are my rights? How long does he have to replace my stove. Keep in mind, I also have a child. I pay my rent every month on time and have lived here 11 years.
