Rental Lease
Hi,
My husband and I rented a home for about 5 months and then there the toilet flooded upstairs leaving fecis and urine to go through the ceiling ruining our stuff in the living room. We took care of our stuff with renters insurance but after asking them numerous times to fix the ceiling due to mildew and just being unhabitable they did not do so so we moved out after living there for 4 months with the ceiling not being fixed. We left 4 months early due to this now they are trying to take us to court for the rest of the money on the lease. We left the house in immaculate condition and we agreed that they keep the $1700 deposit since we were leaving early. In the lease it specifically says they are to keep the house in good condition. Do I have a leg o stand on?

Evicting a Relative
My husband and I own a house that we bought from my mother as she was about to lose it in foreclosure. The title and mortgage are both in my husbands name. We made an oral agreement with her that she would pay a portion of the mortgage each month to live there. (We do not live in the house with her) After 5 months she has not paid us any money. We have no written rental lease with her but want to remove her from the premisis and sell the house. What options do we have?
