I  need her out so I can sell the house. I would like to work with her on getting  out to avoid an eviction. so I thought if another month is needed  and she let the house to be shown could I  write a one month rental agreement ? and if I do would I have to start over and issue another 60 day notice . If I have to start over on the 60 day notice I will go for the eviction .

I served my tenant a 60 day notice to terminate our rental agreement October 3rd, Rental agreement will expire January 4. after that day the tenant will be there unlawfully .

My question is, if she is not out and want to have more time to find another place and offers me rent,  could I make a  one month rental agreement only for the month of January or would that  void out the 60 day notice  that I already served  and have to start over again with a new 60 day notice?

or should I stay the course and file a unlawful detainer after the 4th

foreclosed home , comp roof, in the Central Valley of California. Why i inquire with the city is that I notices slight moss at the edge of the shingles on the shaded side of the house which is not consistant with a two or three year old roof in our area. Thanks all for your replies , I'll chalk this up as a life lesson.

Hello, I purchaced a home in December, one of the selling points was that the selling agent adveritised that the home has " a fairly new roof" which I took as fact, not really knowing how many years is fairly, thinking 2 or 3 years old.
I called the city to find out when the permit was taken out for this" fairly new roof". found out the permit was issued over eleven years ago .
Either my understanding of" fairly" is not reasonable, or the selling agents understanding is not reasonable
I need to know if I should pursue against the selling agent for misrepresentation or is it, a life lesson for me?
thanks

Thanks Jon , I just wanted to find out how agents felt out of my own fustration to get an offer in then not even considered.
I will from now on take yours and others advise to put out many offer and not get attached to one home.

Thank for everyones imput! I was trying to get feedback from R.E. agents point of veiw in this type of situation. Would you as an agent feel you deserve a commision when you brought the seller and the buyer together in agreement per the listing agreement then the seller changes the listing price?
Thanks .

I looked at a property that is a bank forclosure asking price $116k. I wanted to make an offer full price with financing . I was told by my agent,that" the property has muliple cash offers, the selling bank was going to look at the cash offers on only, on Monday". so I passed .
A week later the property is still listed as available. I called my agent again , she said " They ( the bank) are looking for higher offers than the asking price.
My question is , Isnt the selling agreeement a contract to sell with a Broker at a set price agreed by the seller? and if the agent brings in a ready , willing and able buyer,and the meeting of the minds have been met , therefore the agent has earned a commission?.What ever happend to Specific Performance?
It seems to me the banks are using agents to auction the properties to the highest bidder and disregard the contracted asking price, which to me is unethical .
Why hasnt the Real Estate Commissioner stepped in to stop this type of behavior?

Thanks for your answers !!. I will let her know your replies. My thoughts were, that if you gave escrow instructions" add my name to the title", and this part of the instructions were overlooked that she would have recourse to their errors and omission insurance. as of now , she is just a co-borrower and no colladeral to protect her $200k investment ? should have listened to Bruce Williams "always use a lawyer" Thanks.

a friend has property in the state of Washington , She has it in partnership with her boyfriend. His name is on title, they just refinaced with her buying down the loan with her money only of $200k. The title or escrow company didnt record her name on the title.She called them and they said the county wants $1600 to put her name on title. Escrow said" since you are not married this is a transfer tax". This was not a sale, just a refinance. the escrow co . told her " pay it if you want your name on title, otherwise your name wont be recorded with the county as a titled owner". I told her to pay the $1600 ,get your name on title then go after the escrow companies errors and omission insurance. Did I give the right advise ?. any suggestions on what she should do?

Thanks Jawsette for your reply! I was hoping to get feed back from landlords who either allowed or deny tenants who were asked by their tenants, if they could have a pool, what their thoughts of the idea would be,so I could be informed of what to tell my tenants if i were asked. Thanks.
