3 Month Unpaid Tenant – Need Options

Leave a reply

Location of Rental Home: Binghamton, New York
Tenant’s Guarantor’s Location: Spring Valley, New York (Approx 180 miles south of Binghamton)

Rental Term: August 16th, 2009 to August 15th, 2010

Our tenant is a full-time student who has provided us with a Guarantor, his mother, who lives 180 miles south.

He has paid rent late multiple times and he has given me his father’s number directly to collect rent from them. They have paid rent + late fees in the past.

Now, we are 3 months without any rent payment nor any response from the father nor mother for 2 months. The son has periodically called us and told us his parents will pay. They even made an arrangement to pay 2 months ago and never followed through. I have sent collections letters and called over 20-30 times and they are not taking it seriously.

The one issue we have with an eviction is that rental demand in our area is VERY cyclical and renting out in the middle of a University semester for immediate-2 months occupancy is next to impossible.

What are my options to recoup the 3 month’s rent, late fees, and ensure that money is paid to the end of the legal term of the original lease?

What is the maximum we are allowed to collect for late fee/finance fee for 3 month’s rent? He was once 2 months late and we only levied $50 for late fees but I am looking to collect on as much as possible now because we have dealt with a lot of hassle.

Any responses would be more than helpful!

Charged for Petty Theft and Larceny

Leave a reply

Hello everyone
I have a question.
About a month ago both my parents were charged with petty theft. My father had changed a price tag on some meat in a super market and was caught after he had payed for it. He did not steal anything. The thing is, my father had done the price tag changing and my mother didn’t know anything about it, yet they both were charged with the same crime. The sum that the damage was done for was $37 dollars. They were arrested and taken to jail for the night. They were allowed to leave the next day with promise to show up to court. We hired an attorney and our court date was today. Now though, apparently the store security and supervisor has decided to put larceny and petty theft on both my parents. My father plead guilty and this is the first time that ANYTHING like this has ever happened. He just thought that the meat they got was the same as the one that cost less and decided to change the tag for it. He just made a huge and stupid mistake and now they are being blamed for “planned burglary” and blamed on BOTH my parents even though one of them didn’t even know what was happening.

Now, when they were arrested that night, they don’t speak English, and had difficulty understanding what was happening. The security of the super market had being very VERY rude towards them, he had spent over 2 hours writing the report on them and asking people on how to write it while laughing and making a whole scene of how proud he was to have caught “criminals”. He was calling over his friends to show my parents too, was talking in Spanish to people who had absolutely no place to be there and laughing at my parents and also taking pictures of them. When my sister and I hurried to the store to find out what had happened because their phone was taken away from them by the security, he told us they don’t need translators they can learn English in jail. I understand that my father was wrong, but to threat them like that is just not right when they were not showing any sort resistance not to mention they are not young people, they are in their late and mid 50′s.

They had received a second court date for the 11th of March. My question is what kind of consequence can this all have? Is there any right to them putting two more reports on them that had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with what my father did. They have absolutely no video tapes of what had happened and yet they said that my mother was apparently helping my father to change the tag and that all this was a planned burglary and that they were both changing price tags and “hiding the evidence” in the store. This is all not true, I am not saying that to protect my parents, but it really isn’t. How far can all this go to? Can this end up as far as jail?

Please, I ask in advance, no rude comments, my family is on a roller coaster right now, our emotional states are unbearable, I ask people who may know anything about this, because all our attorney says is let me work and don’t worry about it. Any information will be very appreciated. Thank you

inherited partner’s share in family farm

Leave a reply

My mother passed away Dec 30, 2008. At the time of her death my brother and I inherited her share in her family farm. There were originally 7 siblings with one passing away and his share sold and purchased by one of my uncles.
1. In March 09 there was a distribution made to my father for 2007 crops noted as final payment. Does it matter when these crops were sold and where the money was placed before distribution in 2009? If not, should the distribution gone to my father who is still alive or my brother and myself since we became the partners in 2009? What kind of income tax liability if any does my father have if that was the proper distribution?
2. How are the figures determined for the schd k-1? I show net rental real estate income in line 2 and and a small credit deduction amount in line 13. Partner’s share of profit loss and capital is 7.15% or 1/2 of that split between my brother and myself.
3. If we wanted to sell our share this year, what are the options in doing so? Offering to existing family members and if they do not want it what would happen? I assume an appraisal shold be made of the land either way and if sold, what do I do with the proceeds to avoid the most tax liability?

In Dec. 2009, i was at this party,went with a friend to go get his jacket and did not let my parents know where i was. When i returned my Father was furious. He blew the whole situation out of proportion. He did not yell at me untill we all got home. i went to sleep. He awoke me at 11:30pm. He yelled at me and my mother,opening the door,telling her to leave. He came up to me as i was standing there,his threatning gestures.Well, he was just all in my face,aggravated,intimadating and he told me to get on my knees for forgiveness.He also, belittled me,and isolated me and pointed out my flaws,questioning me,saying “you believe your life would be better if i was dead”.
i am a minor,my question is, can i file fore Verbal Assult and domestic violence?

Can my last name be added to my ex’s if a judge allows it?

Leave a reply

With the assistance of a lawyer and a petition, can my last name be added to my ex’s last name for a recently-born child that I’m still trying to determine if I am the father? She has made it clear that this child will not have my last name. He was born on February 15th, and I have not been able to see him. I may tomorrow, if she allows it. She just got released from the hospital today. She has been adamant about not putting me on the birth certificate as the father and will not give him my last name since we discussed the issue a few months ago. I have already arranged an appointment for a consultation with a family law lawyer, and I will be submitting an application to open a case with Child Support Services to determine if I really am the father and to establish my rights if I am. I understand that it normally takes the consent of the other parent to change the name, but I don’t see why I couldn’t just add my name to her’s if I have done nothing wrong, and she is just being uncooperative out of spite and vindication.

Here is a little background on my current situation:

I was already out of the relationship for about 3 months when my ex contacted me to tell me she was expecting a child and claimed I was the father. I have been skeptical about being the father from the very beginning for various justifiable reasons, but I had decided to stay onboard to see it through in the event I did turn out to be the father. I have remained in constant contact with her often meeting up with her to do things together. Early on, she insisted that she did not want me to go with her to any of the prenatal appointments even though I made it clear that I really wanted to, but she has been very bad about getting back to me with regular updates after the visits. She even claimed that she did not want any financial support from me when the child is born. In speaking with female friends and family members who have been in similar situations, they all thought it was odd that she was behaving in this matter when I was showing quite clearly that I wanted to be a part of this.

She was due in the middle of January, and a few months before, I discussed with her what was going to happen when he (she knew was having a boy by this time) was born regarding my rights. She coldly admitted that she had no intentions of putting me on the birth certificate as the father, he would not be given my last name, and that she would contact me when she was already home with the baby – not when she went into labor or even when she was in the hospital! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. When I demanded to know why she was treating me like this, she claimed that she just didn’t feel that her child needed a father, and she was doing what was best for the child. I think she was holding a number of petty things against me like the fact that we were no longer in a relationship and I was the one who had broke it off. She also has deep-rooted father-figure issues because she did not have a constant father-figure in her life, and I honestly believe that she thinks I won’t be around long even though I say I will be and is using this against me. I grew up without a father most of my life, and I have no intentions of abandoning this child.

The baby was born a few days ago on February 15th. She did not contact me when she was admitted into the hospital the day before even though she had ample time and opportunity to contact me. I finally got hold of her mother the next day who had my ex call me. She insisted that I could not see the baby until she was released from the hospital, which was today. I have tried to contact her today, but there has been no response. I am getting the feeling she may not allow me to see the baby.

I have decided to submit an application with Child Support Services to open a case against myself and hire a lawyer if the results of the paternity test are positive. I have no other recourse.

Live with wife and our daughter and want a divorce

Leave a reply

I want a divorce from my wife whom i have been married for 2 years now. We had a child 7 years ago out of wedlock. Our relationship has been turbulent since day one. However, we got married for our daughter’s best interest, at least i did it for my daughter’s happiness. However, still, we are incompatible and hardly enjoy each other’s company more so now. My wife threatens me that she will take full custody of our daughter and make me pay out of my ass for child support and any other expenses she wants me to be burdened with. My daughter is my life, and i would do anything for her happiness, but within my abilities. Even more, my wife more recently is brain washing our daughter and tells her negative things about me in front of me, and when i would tell her to stop and that it isn’t right to involve our daughter in our problems, she would tell my daughter “see, your father is yelling at me again!” I’m so stressed beyond belief and want a divorce, but we all live in the same house (my wife, daughter and myself), and my wife is currently unemployed and collecting unemployment and does not want to work. I can’t leave the house because the house we live in was purchased by my father as a gift to me, but the house is in my name with my father as a cosigner. I’m so stressed and really don’t know what to do. I don’t want to leave and then my wife uses that against me to say i abandoned my house and our daughter. Advise would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

Electronicly Intercepting A Conversation

How do you file charges for the illegal intercept and/or recording of a conversation using a hidden electronic device? A child’s mother is planting an electronic device on her child with the intent to monitor any conversations between the child and his father during court ordered visitation.

Child Relocation Issues

Leave a reply

First, I am a remarried mother of one child who is 5 years old. My son’s father and I divorced 5 years ago and he was granted supervised visits due to an order for protection while I was granted primary residence. The dissolution didn’t state any relocation guidelines so about a year and 4 months ago I relocated my son and I to Texas with my fiance who is now my husband. Before I relocated, I sent a notice of intent to my son’s father and also to the local courthouse. I lived in Texas for 9 months before the first judge told me he wasn’t going to make me move back to Florida just because my ex wanted me to. Then my case went to another judge somehow and she ordered mine and my son’s return to Florida. I have been here in Florida without my husband for the past 7 months, first living with my mother who kicked me out after 3 weeks, then I lived with my father who was domestically violent with me so I now have an open court case with him. Now I’m back at my mother’s and she is kicking me out again which will leave my son and I with nowhere to go but back to Texas.
The judge that ordered us back to Florida, gave my ex-husband liberal visitation with my son after he’s had supervised visits for the past 5 years.

My question is, what can I do if I’m forced out of my mother’s house and I can only go back to Texas? I do not want to have to leave my son with his father because he is abusive and I don’t want to risk losing custody if I end up having to leave him. Can someone please help me by letting me know what my choices are?
