Tim G. Tenants Not Getting Along, Need to Limit Laundry Access Afterhours
15 December 2013 | 9 replies
They might have done the laundry at 9pm but didn't make it to the dryer to collect until 11:01pm and now they have no access, and if it's a uniform they need to put on the next morning for work at 7am they might call you at 11:30pm to ask you to unlock so they can get at it.Personally I would have a talk to the late hour laundry tenant and get a better understanding on why the late hours before implementing any policy, and find out from the other tenant who complained what is the objectionable noise was it the washer agitating, was it the quick pressure draining of the water, was it the dryer buzzing when done etc...to make sure there isn't a solution before implementing a policy or a lock.Sometimes when tenants don't get along there is an underlying reason and what they complained about are the petty stuff that annoyed them but not the real reason.if you limit access you might find you are just transforming one problem into another and you now have tenants that don't get along because they are trying to do laundry at the same time.

Yinan Q. Subject to: title company won't issue title insurance
22 March 2021 | 42 replies
But there also was no title company that obtained an affidavit of title from the previous owner, previous owner could've owned a contiguous lot that was an issue, been prevented from selling your lot by deed restriction, or easement, there could have been fraud or forgery or someone that claimed to be the manager of a company or an executor of an estate...or how about if a seller sells to you and sells the same property to another buyer, he takes both of your money and too bad if you don't get recorded first (I actually handled a major litigation when I was clerking in law school about that.
