Her lawyer told her that the tenant can sue her for not putting bank name and address on the lease to get double security deposit back as well as attorney fee. 

Quote from @Chris Clinton: Do you have a management company halfway house moved in now there's a lot of problems can a halfway house legally move aside a business that's already in business before the move there please advise what can I do to get them away from me This thread is over ten years old haha.. wonder how the place turned out.But to answer your question I don't think there is anything you're able to do in that situation.. it is always best to speak w/ a lawyer to see if there's any available legal options.

You have to be careful in NY.Think of this business this way:I need a quality property that people want to rent and stay, with safe neighborhood and good schools.I need to find a motivated seller that will take EITHER1) low cash amount of cash (60- 65% ARV = After Repaired Value)2) terms (Sub2, Wrap - AITD, Contract For Deed, Lease Option, Private 1st Mortgage for free and clear house, etc).If you need a lawyer to help you get started, seek out your NY REIA President and get a referral of a good REI Attorney.Best of Luck!

But my lawyer said "We will have the lockout in 3 weeks from now and if the money clears we will ask for this case to be dismissed".

However you are asking the correct question when it comes to liability damages this is absolutely a lawyer question in that this can be subject to change based off of where the property is located.

This is the beauty of being a contractor, realtor, lawyers to get a few bad apples out of business.

One other point if your going to get compensated for bringing a buyer and seller together in a real estate transaction your going to need a License broker in that state.. and if you want compensation you will need a license in CA and make referral fee's. other wise I guess your just working as a referring consultant on a fee basis. but be very careful of putting compensation on a hud. things go sideways that's the first place the lawyers are going to check.. were you licensed.

Real Estate Lawyer? 

We would like to use an LLC for our partnership,  do we need a lawyer in New York or New Jersey or would this not even matter? 

Good morning BP,Today I began looking into securities lawyers and corporate structures and I am curious if anyone can explain how a fund works.I was listening to BPP recently and one of the early ones had an individual who approach his police friends from work and they managed to pool together money in a fund.
