Unlawful Rental Agreement
If a tenant signs a rental agreement that violates basic tenant rights such as the property manager/owner being able to ignore the requirements of the Unlawful Detainer process, can the agreement be enforced?

living in house owned by my mother
I’ve been living in my grandmother’s old house that my mother owns. I’ve lived here for approximately 3 1/2 years. All the utilities are in my name. All improvements in the property I have done. There has never been a lease, rental agreement or anything. My father just told me to make the house my own. My family and I have done so. Problem: My father died 2 years ago and my mother remarried 3 months ago. I recieved a certified letter from my mother and her new husband asking me to move in 30 days. I only have 10 days left and have no idea what to do. This is my home and feel that my mother has been coerced by her new husband to throw me out. I am an only child and have planned to live here the rest of my life. Do I have ANY rights whatsoever. My father didn’t have a will I don’t think so I’m at a loss as what to do. All extra money has gone into this house for the past 3 1/2 years. I have around 13000$ in reciepts that I have spent on this house. The only thing original left in it is the outside doors, kitch cabs and roof. We’ve replaced everything bit by bit and paid for it as we go. Please give me advise as where to go from this point. I do not have another place to move and cannot get a loan for a new house
I am considering renting a vacation property for one week.
I am considering renting a vacation property for one week. The owner has sent me a rental agreement. The following is an excerpt: “You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owner and the owner’s agent from claims of damage and injury, as well as any actual damage or injury determined to have occurred and for which the owner and the owner’s agent are determined to be responsible.”
If the property has been neglected, for example, a stairway has a bad board, and I were to injure myself, would I be excluded from seeking damages?
Tenant owes money What are my rights as Landlord?
Tenant owes money What are my rights as Landlord?
I have a tenant that owes part of November rent along with December and January Rent with late fees occuring every day. The lease was from 1/4/04 to 12/31/04 and after that goes month by month. The rental agreement that the tenants signed says a late fee of $10 per day after the 5th of the month. This means $30 a day for all three months. I know I should not have let it go this long, but they have taken advantage of my good nature for the last time. They have claimed the late fees are illegal and that they do not have the money. I need to get paying tenants in my property and quickly. What can I do? I do not want to have them their another month.
Thanks in Advance

get rid of rental contract
I signed 1 year Rental agreement on April 29th, 2009 without my wife’s knowledge, saying that I will move on June 1, 2009, only if my wife likes the apartment because her name is also on the contract. And she said ok. So I took her to show the apartment in the next morning at 9 am on 30th April, 2009. And my wife said, she did not like the apartment with some reasons-small kitchen and bathroom, no storage, and the area.
And I informed the Owner at 10 am on 30th April, saying that, we don’t want to move in as my wife did not like the apartment and, same thing was said to the owner before signing the contract( if my wife does not like it, we will cancel the contract). Now how can I get out of the contract without paying any money? As the owner is saying, I signed the contract and, I am liable for rent if I don’t move in. Can she force me to do so? Please advise me in this regard.
