Power of Attorney – Missing Husband
I have been married 16 years and have four children. My husband is an alcoholic/drug addict and took off with another woman. He has abandoned me and the kids and left us with no money and is not supporting the family. Everything is in his name or both. There has been no contact for a few weeks. He was the sole provider for this family and now I am in jeopardy of losing my home and having everything shut off. What are my rights and can I get the house and everything put in my name because he can’t be found

Commercial Lease -Notice to Quit
I lease commercial space where I operate a fish market. A recent inspection by the building dept identified several structural and other issues that need to be resolved. A day later my landlord’s attorney sent a letter giving me 48 hours to submit a letter agreeing to remedy all issues -even though some of the issues are related to other areas of the building,including his business.

The next day I received a Notice to Quit from his attorney informing me that my lease is being terminated next week -June 1st. My question – what recourse do I have? Can he really terminate my lease without a hearing? or court proceeding? Thanks for your help…

Tenant Problems I have inherited a duplex rental property.

Tenant Problems
I have inherited a duplex rental property. The upstairs tenant has not paid rent since May. We got a judgement for non payment of rent against him on 8-12-02 and notified the sheriff’s office and were within 24 hours of having him removed. He then filed for chapt 13 bankruptcy which really complicated things. He has yet to make a payment to anyone, and he has broken all of the windows and moved other people into the apt with him. I have hired an attorney and he says that we must take our time before we can go to bankruptcy court. He has also said we will try to get a notice to quit on the property destruction thing. I believe he is a crackhead and would jump at a chance for some money. Is there a legal document that could be drafted that I could get him to sign, that would give me back the rights to his apt?
