Hi

I'm looking for a Notice of Interest Form for an equity partner, so we can file it at our local recorder's office. 

The equity partner has loaned funds towards flipping/improvements of a home wants to make sure they get paid when the house sells.

I don't know if a handwritten agreement along with our equity partner contract will be enough to file it.

I am in Utah.

Anyone have this form, or any advice?

Thanks

If they lent money then there should be a note and mortgage. That is what would get recorded. BUt it is unclear if their equity is a loan or own part of the company. If its true equity there is nothing to record its your agreement (like an operating agreement or JV agreement) but those do not get recorded.

I am looking for new renters for a condo (Salt Lake County Utah)  that I just had repainted and re-carpeted.  My ad says No Pets. The 4th applicant just contacted me by email asking " Would you be willing to allow pets (one calm dog) if half or all of the deposit is non-refundable? I can also pay a pet deposit and pet rent if needed." Before i could reply she sent another message "I can renew the emotional support animal (with a therapist)".

I know I can not deny her the rental based on the ESA. It is a 40# dog. My condo is 2nd story with no place the dog could potty accessible unless they take it on a walk in the complex. No fenced area, etc.  

My question is: can i require that the dog can not potty in my condo/patio except when on walks outdoor in the common areas? I do not want them to use peepee pads or pee stations as I've had dogs myself and know they can go close to the edge and/or overflow. 

Can I require the dog to have current vaccinations? 

I don't want to break any laws. 

Thanks everyone! 

I have my most of my renters deposit cash right into my account for their rent. They tell the teller to notate it with something like "Deborah's rent". I have a password attached to my account for withdrawals. So they can't withdrawal. They only need my account number.

I'm not familiar with what you are describing. Have you talked to your bank about it? I would ask for the manager or assistant and not just the teller. It does sound kind of sketchy.  Especially if it was the renters idea in the first place. Just MHO.

Thanks Gerald,

But......

I just put in a search in the box at the top of this site next to the little person symbol.  It does search but it brings up all the results where that word or words appear in any forum. Is there a way to keep it looking in just one forum? 

I do love forums!

Is there a way to search for certain words that may be in a forum or a thread?

I know how to set up keyword alerts, but those will be in the future if someone uses one of those words from now on.

I'm looking for a way to search the existing forums now.

Thanks

I had posted the abandonment notice. The tenant finally wanted his stuff and I hadn't moved it yet so I let him come take it. So he is totally gone now!  On to the next.  Thanks for all your helpful thoughts and suggestions.

I'm trying to compile a list of all reputable places to use when checking a potential tenant out.   

Please let me know who you use and I'll add them to my list. Also please list any problems you've had with any company, or maybe grade them A-F, with "A" being the best.

I use Western Reporting. They have a local office near me. The report is finished in 1-2 hours. Can be run any day except Sunday. Costs are a set up fee of $75, but if you tell them you were referred by someone they will drop that in half.  (I had a friend who told me about them and I just said "friend". They didn't ask her name. She doesn't get any credit or anything). 

For credit report and single state criminal and sex offender record = $25 per person.

For credit report and multi state criminal/sex offender record and eviction records $35 per person.

For all of the above and either a employment or residential verification $40 per person.

Thanks

About the towing issue, I own a small towing company in Salt Lake and usually the HOA has to be the ones to have it towed away. It is called a "private property tow". Certain legal rules apply, as to immediately reporting the tow to the police agency, and to the tax commission/UDOT, sending certified letters to owners, 2nd owners, lien holder within 2 days, etc.

They probably use a particular company who has the agreement with them to do the tows. And yes, you may see their signs around the parking lots or at the entrances. How would non residents know the rules changed?

Usually the owner nor tenant can call a tow company of their choice to have it towed away. The tow company may patrol or only come when the HOA calls them.

HOA's will usually fine the owner for any problems caused by tenants. How can you prove your tenant isn't responsible for the person who owns the truck? Your tenant may not be telling you the truth. Demand the HOA tows the truck the next time it is there. It costs the HOA nothing. The truck owner is the one who will have to pay.

Also, for an HOA to change or make new rules, they have to go thru quite a procedure usually. It's very hard to get the number of votes they need to make some changes.

Do you have an updated copy of the docs and bylaws?

Sorry, this response is so fragmented. I've been told I have a problem with that!  ;-)

    I think I understand where the 30 days comes from. This Utah State law says I have to keep abandoned property for 15 days. AND you have to give an extension of up to 15 more days if a tenant can prove they were under a protection order for domestic violence etc, hospitalized, or dead (family member proves that). I have the room to store it 30 or more days. I've posted and sent the abandonment letters. I also put the words

ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED under my return address. That should let me know if he put in a forwarding address.

Thanks everyone!
