My husband owns 1/2 and his brother and sister-in-law own 1/2 a house together (their dad’s house – inherited). The problem is my husband and his brother can’t agree on a selling price, and his brother refused my husband’s offer to buy his half out. His brother wants to sell the house fast for a low price (yet refused my husband’s offer of what he would end up with, if he got the price he wants minus the realtor’s cut) and my husband (if he isn’t allowed to buy his brother out for what we can afford) would like to sell it for a higher price, even if that means we have to hold onto it longer. The price my husband set it at is still considerably less than the value it was appraised at before property values fell. His brother chose the realtor, who hasn’t been officially hired yet. The realtor feels that my husband’s price is the most they can get for it, but what he doesn’t know is that my husband will refuse any offer lower than that.
His brother is a controller and wants to make all the decisions, yet my husband is the executor.
The brother is the one who chose the realtor and doesn’t want my husband to get a different one involved.
It doesn’t make sense that his brother wants to sell the house fast and cheap, but yet would not even entertain the idea of selling his half to my husband. The price my husband offered was in keeping with the price his brother would get if it sold for the price he wants. Any money over that would go to pay the realtor’s commission.
I wish there was some King Solomon who could make a decision that would be right and fair. His brother is all about the money and my husband is all about hanging onto something that is important to him.

Quick Property Sale

My husband and I are renting the perfect size house for us in a seemingly perfect neighborhood. We don’t want to move b/c we are getting a great deal on the rent compared to local mortgages.
We are slightly interested in renting to own, and so is our landlord. He is really nice but lives far away from us, so he can’t get out to the house much. In fact, he hasn’t been to the house in the last 5 years!

We know the prevous two renters and go to church with them. The same carpeting, kitchen cabinets, kitchen appliances and light fixtures have been in the house since it was built and we are so embarrassed when company comes over, but we don’t think we should have to pay to replace all that, especially if we don’t decide later to buy the house.

How can we ask our landlord to renovate it? Obviously we wouldn’t ask for it all to be done at once- just knowing he will change it would help us feel better. Should we ask? When do we ask? Any ideas?

Quick Property Sale

I saw an advert for a cheap property rental. Turns out the property is foreclosed (or bank owned) and the agent wants to rent it out on a month to month basis, hoping to sell it in the near future.
For me it looks to be a good short term rent, but is it legal?

I know their rates will be higher because the owner has to pay property taxes but does a renter actually have to pay anything directly to the government?

A friend of mine received an eviction notice for unpaid rent. The notice stated that things could be resolved if he paid the back rent, the current months rent, and all attorney’s fees. My friend paid this to the sum total of $1900.00 (the back rent he owed was only $625). Two days later he received a notice from the landlord that he still had to vacate the unit. Does my friend have any rights in this matter?
