The Landlording Follies
You are the landlord of a small apartment building that you are offering for sale. You find a buyer and a sale is arranged.
The tenants learn of the sale and ask if they will be forced to move. How do you answer?
You explain that it depends upon the lease agreement. If the tenant signed a lease they have the right to remain in the unit at least until the end of the lease... longer if the new owner agrees.
In many cases the tenant signed a lease and remained after the lease term ended.
At that point their occupancy became a month to month tenancy.
A month to month tenancy can be terminated merely with the landlord giving notice to the tenant. The length of the notice may be governed by state law, but a 30-day notice is customary.
In another situation the tenants learned that the apartment owner was in default on his monthly mortgage payments and the lender had begun a foreclosure action.

How You Can Get A Bad Credit Mortgage Refinance!

Bad credit is caused by a number of things. The primary cause of bad credit is making late payments on a regular basis. It signals to most lenders that you are simply untrustworthy of making your payments on time.
That makes you a high risk customer. The later you are with your payments, the lower your credit score will be. Another primary cause of poor credit is bankruptcy. Typical bankruptcy is an eleventh hour sort of deal for most people. It is the final solution to serious debt problems.
However, a bankruptcy, whether it clears everything or simply reorganizes your debt for you so you can manage it, lasts for seven years on your credit record. It is a major signal...
