What happens to life tenant property when life tenant is in nursing home?

Nothing. A "life tenant" is simply the owner for the rest of his or her life, regardless of where he or she lives. One would presume the nursing home will let you (or somebody) know when they no longer believe the "life tenant" is alive.

When a tenant makes an improvement to a rented residential property does it then belong to the owner?

Yes, it sure does. Any time a text makes any kind of home improvement that is irreversible, the home improvement becomes part of the property, which belongs to the landlord. The tenant may reverse such an improvement IF he can restore the property to the way it was - without any damages - before the home improvement was made.


Why does a tenant need property damage insurance?

Your land lord is not responsible for any damage to or loss of personal belongs. This is why you would want to get renters insurance. The owner of the home should have it covered with "Home Owner's Insurance", which doesn't cover a tenant's belongings should there be a fire, etc. Renter's Insurance covers the tenant's belongings. Without it, a tenant would not be eligible for a claim and would not be able to recoup any losses.


When ownership changes on a home while occupied by a tenant with a lease and the tenant was given a 30-day notice but won't move what recourse does the new owner have?

If they signed a lease, they have a binding legal document saying that as long as rent is paid they get to live there until the agreement expires... Unless somewhere in the lease agreement that the resident signed there is a clause about terminating residency without cause. When 'you' bought the property, you also bought all loans, expenses, and lease agreements. In short, the new owner may own the property, but the tenant possesses the property until the lease is terminated by mutual agreement or according to its terms.


If a Joint Tenant has the mortgage in his name and the other joint tenant defaults on his home equity loans what are the legal ramifications to the mortgage holder?

This sounds like a real mess. It sounds like two joint tenants own a piece of property in common with one having the mortgage in his name. The other joint tenant has a piece of property that has a home equity loan about to go into default. In one state the joint tenant with the home equity in default would lose that piece of property. It would not affect the piece of property he or she owned with a different person.


Find a home owner from an address?

To find the legal owner of the property you can visit the local tax assessor's office and look up that address in the records. The property will be listed under the name of the legal owner. You may also find a deed reference that you can use to look up that property in the local land records office.

Is the homeowner or the tenant responsible for damages caused by a tree falling on a rented property?

Homeowner's insurance would be the first recourse. If insurance does not cover the damages the owner of the property would be responsible. The answer above is fundamentally accurate but the tenant is not automatically free of any obligation. If the tenant is renting a home as opposed to an apartment he may have some responsibility for reasonable upkeep and maintenance. If he fails to water the tree for a year and that is the cause of the tree falling, the owner may have recourse against the tenant.


Does a landlord have the right to collect rent on a home with a notice of default?

Yes, a landlord can still collect rent on a property with a notice of default. The notice of default relates to the mortgage payments on the property and does not impact the landlord-tenant relationship or the tenant's obligation to pay rent.

A Tenant's form will cover you own property and liability regardless of the ownership on the premises. It will not provide any coverage on the mobile home or liability as owner of that property.
