As JCParalegal said herself....beware of advice gleaned from online sources especially from someone who readily admits to being a paralegal. No offense to any paralegals out there but there is a WORLD of difference between an attorneys knowledge and that of a paralegals. Just go seek a bona fide attorney.
I just discovered that I signed a one year lease in a Morris County, NJ basement apt that is not registered in the township. According to the person I spoke to on the phone from the zoning dept., the landlord has been in litigation with the township for two years bc she claims she bought the house with the apt and counted on it; however she told me she renovated the apt herself. She never said the apt. was illegal or that it was in litigation when I rented it 9 months ago. In the lease I signed, I am entitled to sublet the aptartment. Recently, I had to move out and found someone to sublet for 3 months. The landlord insisted the subletter sign a new contract with her, but didn't release me. Now, when the subletter leaves, I am still obligated for the 1 month and 1 week of rent before my lease is up. The landlord has my security deposit of one and one half month rent. She said I must pay rent and may not use the security deposit (if she or I can't find another person to rent the apt. - now that I know the truth, I will not find anyone else) for the last month's rent or she will sue me. What are my legal rights?
By mistake my online banking sent her a rent check for June. The subletter moved in mid-May. I had the bank stop the check, but didn't say anything to the landlord until she mentioned it to me. She says I owe her $10 for the bank fee plus $15 each for the two bounced checks. What is my legal right?
Go to Law-guru.com, there are attorneys there for each state that will give you free legal advice.
I thing I just realized is that IT is very difficult to get any documentations from your township. It's easier if it involves you paying the township...otherwise, forget about it. There's too much red tape. It's almost a lost cause.
I divided with drywall the back of my house and rented it,i rented 2 bedrooms one bath and a family room,no kitchen,now i am evicting my tenant,and what he did is building a simple illegal room with a kitchen,and he reported it to the city and he put that into the eviction process,but i did not rent it with the illegal kitchen what can i do?
What the judge is going to say if i explain that,still my fall and i have to pay the relocation?etc.explain thanks.i live in los angeles ca.
HI, I just moved out of an illegal sublet, would like to retrieve the cost of the incident. Question though, do I file a claim to the building management or with the tenant who subleased the room to me? Thanks for your time.
