Q. Can an HOA stop me from staying in the house I inherited from my mother who passed away?

May 11, 2022

A: I believe the HOA may be correct. The Fair Housing Act exempts communities intended for people 55-62 or older to discriminate based on familial status. It appears that your mother’s trailer park caters only to residents who are over 60 years old. You have two options: either (1) find someone you can trust and is over 60 years old to be on title, which the HOA suggested OR (2) sell the property and move to a place where there are no restrictions.

Q. landlord recording renter without consent, installed hidden cameras.

May 11, 2022

A: Is the landlord recording the common area affecting your property or private areas inside your property? If private, I suggest contacting an attorney ASAP and get a restraining order and claim for possible damages.

Q. What legal rights do I have if I rented a property that has was foreclosed on and now the bank is trying to throw me out

May 10, 2022

A: The new owner of the foreclosed property needs to go through the eviction process to remove you from the property. If the property is tenant-occupied (as in your case), a 90-day notice is generally required before the bank can start the eviction process. If you have existing lease with the previous owner, you need to reach out to the bank to carry out the remainder of the lease period. If you believe the bank has violated your rights, I suggest you contact an attorney who handles landlord-tenant disputes.
