Will the bank show up to the auction if they stopped paying taxes?
18 May 2024 | 9 replies
I'll show up to the mortgage foreclosure auction either way and see if they show and what they bid.My theory about what might have happened was that the foreclosure wasn't going through the courts because the guy disappeared off the face of earth and hadn't been served the papers after several attempts.

Eviction "dismissed without prejudice"
17 May 2024 | 25 replies
Another reason in case might get dismissed without prejudice is the landlord is a weak scumbag who realize he doesn't have a chance in court against an astute tenant and he doesn't want to have to pay all the penalties for turning off utilities and making death threats to get people to leave.

Can I ask my applicants to disclose service dog if they have one?

According to the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act:Even if a landlord has a no pet policy in place, the law does not consider service animals as pets and therefore the service animal is exempt from such a restriction.Service animals are allowed anywhere a person would go, including food areas that would normally restrict an animal’s presence.Landlords cannot charge a pet deposit or pet fee for service animals, however the tenant is liable for any damage that the service animal may cause.Landlords can require written verification from the tenant’s health care provider that they are disabled but cannot ask for any specifics about the disability.Landlords can require written verification from the tenant’s health care provider that the service animal is needed.Landlords can request copies of the animal’s health records to prove the animal is in good health, parasite-free and immunized/vaccinated.Landlords can write warnings or even evict a tenant with a service animal if the animal is disturbing others, posing a threat to others or causing considerable damage to the property.In other words, you can ask for appropriate paperwork concerning the tenant’s need for the service animal and to verify the animal’s health.
