User Avatar

Asked by Anitameeks

No.

My husband owned a house in North Carolina before we got married, he refinanced it after we got married the deed is in my name but the loan is not. Do I still have a legal right to the house when we divorce?

Once the property is deeded in your name it is considered a gift to the marriage and you now have legal rights.

How can you legally get rid of a firearm in Florida?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If this is a firearm you bought or inherited and are legally possessing the best thing to do is to sell it to a FFL dealer. Any gun shop will have this license and will be able to help you.

If you found the firearm or are unsure of where it came from the best thing to do is to surrender it to the local police with an explanation of how you came by it. Police may run a trace on the gun to see if it has been stolen.

In either case, be sure to wrap or case the firearm before taking it anywhere. Both gun shops and police stations frown on people walking in the door gun in hand.

If you are familiar with the operation of the firearm, and are sure you can do it safely, unload it. If you have the slightest doubt, leave it alone, don't touch the trigger, do not point the barrel at anyone, and be sure to tell the police officer or gun dealer that you have no appropriate experience and that you are not sure if it is loaded.

Is it the landlords responsibility to make repairs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am assuming you are asking who is financially responsible for damages. The first place to consult is your lease. Generally, if something happens that is no fault of yours, the landlord is responsible for the habitability of the unit, but not usually for any damages to your belongings. To protect your belongings, you need to purchase a renter's insurance policy, many of which are very affordable. But, like I said, the final authority is in your lease.

Can you take your landlord to court for over charging you for repairs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes -but. . . You must have documentation to prove that: A) The poor health symptoms are caused by the problems in the unit B) That you have repeatedly informed the landlord about the problem and requested that it be repaired C) That the landlord did not do so within "a reasonable time". All three can be difficult, but the tricky one is C, as "a reasonable time" varies by what the problem is and by local and state regulations. For an active leak/flood, it varies from 6 to 24 hours, and goes up sharpely from there. On top of all of that, it depends on the type of repairs that need to be made. Not all repairs are the responsibility of the landlord. So check your local laws and by-laws as well as your contract to make sure the landlord is actually responsible for the necessary repairs.

For the UK the rules are similar to those described above, but in the UK the owner or landlord of a property is considered an Occupier and as such has a duty to not only those living in the property, but also those visiting the property. If the defect causes an obvious danger such as defective wiring - te chances of a successful claim against the landlord are good if an injury occurred. if for example the problem is water ingress causing mold and hence breathing disorders such as asthma - there is still a good chance of success, but it will depend on how long the problem has existed and what notice the landlord had of the problems.

Yes and you must provide proof that will prove your complains.

How do water wells form?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the inner layer of the earth water will be there which is called as ground water. when we dig a well we form a opening for the water to be explosed. so these water is taken for home usage. In some areas when there is a natural way for the water to come through it forms a spring. when we find that a particular place has ground water in it, we drill the ground until we reach the water surface, so as creating a openeing for the water. this water is then taken out mostly using a pump for usage in home, hotels etc.. when it rains the rain water goes through ground and it reaches the ground water. that is the reason the water level in the well raises usually during rainy season.

How do you find who owns a house?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

u go there and ask -Maniac Jr. On the other hand, merely asking who owns a building may have very little to do with ownership; determine the legal location of the building; go to the tax assessor of the county-parish taxing subdivision of the state government, view the 'property card' It should contain, usually, deed references which refer to a specific recorded 'title' available in the record keeping place in your 'courthouse.' That deed when searched forward, and the last on record, generally will indicate the current owner... Most of the time, unless a deed has not been recorded which is subsequent to the latest deed on record.

As a practical matter, the resident of a dwelling place may have nothing to do with ownership; however, it never hurts to ask, unless you have some covert reason for not communicating.

Can a landlord harass or threaten you during an eviction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, only a judge can evict you. However, a landlord can ask you to leave at the end of your lease term. Or with 30 days' notice in a month-to-month scenario. If you still don't vacate, you will certainly find yourself in court.

Not really: a landlord can reclaim their property at the end of a lease-- no material reason needed-- or give notice to a month-to-month tenant (or week-to-week, if applicable).

What is labor reform?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Land reform can take place within almost all eras of human history where there is farmland involved. Generally speaking, land reform means a redistribution of land held by wealthier segments of society to middle and/or lower levels.

Here are some examples of land reform that have taken place over the centuries:

* In the best years of the Soviet Union, land reform meant that all large farmlands would be owned and operated by the Soviet government. People in rural areas where they perhaps owned small farms or were in rural areas because they worked the old privately held farms would be able to keep as their own a small parcel of land where they could keep their crops for their own food;

* In various ancient times, land reform could mean that poor farmers that were in debt, did not have to sacrifice their farmlands to get out of debt;

* Also in ancient times, wealthy farmland owners might be required to give up a portion of their croplands to the government so that small farms could be created for poor people or for veteran soldiers who were retiring;

* In some periods of human history, lands confiscated by wealthy farmers, would be returned to their original owners;

* In some instances, governments would not allow the size of land holdings to be unregulated. They might set a maximum sizeof land holdings per person or by family;

* In some situations a conquering nation's government could confiscate the land held by the conquered nation and redistribute to their own people.

On a general basis land reform has resulted in the redistribution of land either by force or by legitimate laws.

How can you get out of your lease?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your lease may contain termination provisions that define the conditions upon which you may "get out of your lease" early. For example, it may require you to provide a suitable replacement tenant (or sublet) or forfeit some equivalent of one month's rent.

In any case, you can notify the landlord or your intentions and see if you can mutually agree to terms for vacating in an orderly fashion.

You can always notify the landlord and leave, knowing that they will want to collect some amount of unpaid rent and probably other damages. However, they have the burden of proving you owe anything (according to the terms of the lease), and the burden of finding someone to replace you so they can start collecting rent again. If you move out and someone else moves in right away, the landlord's "damages" are very limited, and the are not likely to be able to force you to pay for the entire lease you broke.
