Is a landlord responsible for my damaged personal property due to bad ground wiring after being advised of two blown TV's then losing two more before action taken?

There are many jurisdictions that have varying degrees of liability so any answer will be general and must not be taken to be an accurate answer.
Usually, a landlord has a duty of care to provide safe and reliable electrical wiring in a house. If he fails in this duty, there may well be a liability to make good damage to a renter's equipment. It is usually up to the renter to prove that a faulty installation was the cause of damage and also, that the landlord could be expected to know the installation is faulty.
However, the landlord will not be responsible for property that has been damaged after the renter is aware that a problem exists. To persist in connecting televisions that are damaged due to mains wiring is careless and the landlord will not be responsible for the renter's carelessness.
A blown tv due to the electrical supply would not ordinarily be due to the ground. A loose connection in the hot or neutral contacts in the outlet would be more likely. But at any rate, I agree with the answer above, that after you know of a problem, any damage is on you since you shouldn't be using that outlet.

You quitclaimed your interest in your home to ex who recently died. How do you get your name off the mortgage?
You can't take your name off a mortgage that you signed. When you quitclaimed your interest in the property to your ex-husband you should have made it a condition that he refinance the property and pay off the existing mortgage that has your name on it. An attorney would have, should have, advised you to do that.

Do you still pay rent to a landlord who's property is in foreclosure and they have filed for bankruptcy?
Unless the tenant has some kind of evidence that a foreclosure sale has taken place, they should pay the rent to the landlord. Unfortunately, this can be difficult for a tenant to figure out; at what point the bank actually 'owns' the property is a difficult legal question, differing by state. In most states, a tenant can ask the Registry of Deeds who owns the property.General most lenders when they realize the property is being purchased to be used as a rental property will include a clause in the mortgage agreement that will allow the lender to collect the rent when the owner/landlord defaults on the mortgage. If the landlord files for bankruptcy, the property will generally be taken over by the bankruptcy trustee. You will have to pay the rent to the bankruptcy trustee. If the landlord has filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may have to pay the rent directly to the lender or the landlord depending on the terms of the court approved payment plan. If the house is sold in foreclosure, the new owner cannot evict you. You must first be served a three day notice and the new owner must file a lawsuit to evict you after the three days have expired. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel.
Can a parent kick an 18 year old out of the house legally in Florida?
Yes, if he does not have a rental agreement. He is a legal adult and the parents are no longer legally or financially responsible for his welfare. The law does, however, presume that the adult person needs to be given a reasonable amount of time (no less than 14 days) to find other lodgings and to remove his or her personal belongings. Please be advised, that personal property includes any items, (furniture, appliances, etc.) that were gifted to the person and not just those items that said person purchased themselves.

Is condominium Homeowners Association responsible for personal property when water damage occurs?
Two issues arise here: repair/ replacement and payment for water damage. One can assume that the personal property involved in the water damage event was located inside your unit, or inside your assigned storage area. Properly, personal insurance covers these personal items. You are well advised to photograph the damage, research your archives for original purchase receipts -- to verify their values, and be prepared to complete a claim. Your personal insurance broker can advise you about how to proceed. Best practices dictate that the association's master policy become involved, since common areas are most often involved in water damage events. Once the source of the water is identified: another owner's plumbing, window, association owned roof, whatever -- then the policy covering the responsible party pays for damages. Once the insurance companies identify responsibility for the source of the water intrusion, payment is finalized for appropriately documented damages and repairs.

I received notice to vacate property in ten days but I was advised by the delivery person to call the attorney listed on the notice, can I ask for more time and how much time do I actually have?
It partially depends on why you are being asked to vacate... For instance, have you missed any rental payments? Were you served a court notice at some point by your landlord? If you have a lease and are current with your payments, then I would definitely contact the attorney and advise them that they are breaking your contract. If you have been evicted by a court, then you only have the goodwill of the landlord to stay longer than the 10 days notice given.
You are in a flat UK and the bathroom ceiling is leaking through 2 screws holding your blind up you have spoken to your neighbor who advised that they have no leak is there another reason for this?
If the blind is on a window then the leak could be coming from the window sill upstairs. Pipes also are run through the walls and your neighbor may not be aware of any leak. Contact your property landlord before more extensive damage is done.
How do you abandon real estate property?
You leave the property and stop paying the mortgage and taxes. However, be advised that your debts regarding the property will keep accruing. If there is an outstanding mortgage the lender will go after you for the amount you owe and legal costs if it forecloses. If you fail to pay your property taxes the town may eventually take possession of the property and sell it. While the property is in your name you have liability issues.
