My brother is asking me to cosign a house for him and his friends to live in. I trust my brother but I don't really know his friends. What should I do and how could this affect me?
Truth Bomb.Don’t sign that!I am assuming you are talking about a rental lease. Seriously this is not about how trust worthy your brother is. It’s about your own financial future.If you really, really trust your brother, and want to help him here is what you do. You tell him to go find a place for himself. And then you will co-sign if he needs you to. BUT — be clear that you will do this with an agreement with the landlord to contact YOU if there are any issues, ever. Which means you will always know what he is up to. Tell him he has to get renters insurance. (If you have to pay for it, do. The last thing you need is for your brother to have a party and his guests potentially ruin or destroy something. Suddenly the rent will seem super minor.)Make sure whatever you put your name on is something you can financially handle on your own if something arises. Example, if this is a year long lease and your brother bails on it for some reason. Can you afford to pay for the remaining time or the penalties that are stated in the lease? Cause that’s what co-signing basically means. That you are on the hook for the rent if the tenant doesn’t pay.If you are ok with all that extra responsibility as well as potential personal financial risk. Go for it. But do not do it for strangers and be clear to your brother this is what his friends are to you. You are not saying they are bad people. You are saying you are not ready to pay to find out that they are not good people.Good Luck to you!Does Cosigning an Apartment Lease Affect My Credit?
Can my sister come and live on base with me even though she's not a dependent? Military...?
We are stationed in Hawaii. We currently live on-base. Not Schofield Barracks but a military reservation. There is a guard gate but I have yet to see any security at it. But it still is considered on-post. My husband is getting deployed in August. I have a 3 year old son as well. We know Absolutely no one here. My 22 year old sister wants to move here and go to school at the University of Hawaii. My question mainly is what are the rules and requirements for her living if at all possible in our house while he is gone. I know u have to report guests to the community center and get approval if they are planning on staying over 30 days. And that you need a written request for reasons that would allow her to live here. If we lived off post i know it would be different. But we have a year lease here. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.
Can family members other than spouse and children live in base housing with AD member?
Okay, so the situation is this. Right now, my husband and I (he is AD Marines) live off base in Virginia, and my sister and niece live with us. They moved in with us about 4 months ago when she lost her job and we have been helping them out since she is only making 1500 a month on unemployment (she was living in CA and there is absolutely no way to live on that there.). My sister has been dating a good friend of my husband's for over a year now and he helps out in paying rent and stays with us most of the time as well. Anyway, we are 6 weeks out of our PCS move to Camp Pendleton. Our dilemma is this. We want to live off base, but since my sister's boyfriend will not ask for approval to get on a lease, my husband's income and my sister's unemployment are not nearly enough to qualify for the size place we'd need with 2 children and 4 adults, although her boyfriend would be paying rent as well as us and we could AFFORD the place. Another thought came into my head that maybe, since we are providing for my sister and niece, we may be able to apply for base housing, but are family members who are not children or spouses allowed to live on base? What is my best option in this situation? I can't just leave my sister and her 6 year old out on the streets.. so in your experiences.. what's the best option?
Can a flat owner's father sign the rental agreement if the owner lives abroad?
The owner should sign a Power of Attorney giving the father specific rights, such as marketing the property, executing rental agreements, collect rent and deposits, serving notices, etc.If the owner and renter are in good communication and trusting of each other, the owner could inform the tenant that the father will be signing. The father would sign like this, “I-be-the Daddy, as agent for My-child Who-moved-away-from-me.But these days, the owner could have the tenant sign the document, scan it, and email it to the owner, who then signs, scans and sends it back (not the other way around).[Answer from the USA]
Is it legal to kick your 22 year old child out of the house?
My 22 year old daughters lives with my husband and I, or she did anyway before we decided to kick her out. She graduated from college last spring and was able to find a full time pretty much right away. She decided to move back home, but my husband and I told her that she can live here as long as she pays 300 dollars a month and helps around the house. She reluctantly agreed. Some people are criticizing us for charging our own daughter with rent. However, my husband and I feel that if your grown child has a full time job and is not in school he or she should be able to pay rent. Anyway, I know I've rambled so I'm going to get to my issue. My daughter has not payed us for any rent for three straight months and has pretty much not contributed to the household, so We decided that it was best for her to move out. We made her pack her clothes and leave at once. Did we go too far? Was it legal of us to kick her out?
What are the legal rights of son in the property of his father?
In India, as per Hindu succession Act,a. If the property is ancestral, son/children have the right over the property. For the property to be ancestral, it has either to be inherited by the father from his father i.e. the grand father after his death or the grandfather, in his life time, have partitioned the property. But, if the father has got the property from grandfather as a gift, it will not be considered as ancestral property.[1]b. If the property is self acquired by the father, son/children can claim no right over it.

Can I kick my adult child out of the house against my spouse's wishes?
Sounds like you need to reframe the problem.Unilateral action in the face of a disagreement is usually a close to final step to complete breakdown.It also sounds as if kicking them out of the house is a proxy problem for deeper underlying problems: he's a lazy bum and/or you and your wife have deeper marital issues.That said I've been in a similar situation when I had an unwanted brother in law and mother in law living in our two bed flat. It would have been a relationship killer to kick them out (or even try).So we started looking for a dream house to move into and I labelled ever room "that's where our daughter will go, and that will make a wonderful playroom" etc. this created an alternate reality if you like, so much so that when we moved the house was a house for us and our children - not one for looking after the extended family.So a way that you could start doing this would be to start thinking about an extension - let’s create a "granny flat" for son to live in. He'll be able to have his girlfriend to come over without disturbing us, and the grand kids will be close eventually. Oh and make sure you destroy his existing bedroom during the renovation and then have delays and delays.....You can have lots of fun here keeping your anger hidden and working for his benefit....Just hope my kids don't read this in 20 years time.Or my brother in law....
My younger brother (16) may be forced to pay part of the rent. Could he legally keep our parents out of his room?
not really. Anyone on the lease has full access…but if he’s paying the majority of the rent, and wants to pay it all, he could probably evict them…if he lived in a state where he can be an emancipated minor…the thing is, he’s a minor…so no one can ‘force’ him to pay a part of the rent. If he is, he should negotiate some rules and guidelines before he gives up the money…seems like he’s not being respected as an adult. But then, people that all live together, must all consider what is good for the household…for example, even if he is paying rent…if he is living like a slob, or in such a manner that produces an odor, or draws bugs…that’s not acceptable. If it’s just a matter of privacy…he should nogotiate that, and probably can if he’s being “adult-like” …but if he’s being childish and selfish…probably little chance of getting anywhere. You can’t have your cake and eat it too…if you want to be treated like an adult, you must act like one across the board, in all situations…he may decide he likes being a kid more…there are certain benefits…mom picks up after you, cooks for you, does your dishes, laundry, etc…and usually gets no thanks. He should act fully like an adult, like a male roommate, if that’s how he wants to be treated…that means doing laundry, cooking, dishes, shopping, paying bills, …and so much more. I was an emancipated minor at 16. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Enjoy your youth while you still can for those last 2 years I say…but to each his own.
When property deed has etal on it do all party's require to sign if property is sold?
All parties OUGHT to sign. ET AL is a latin abbreviation for ET ALIA which means "and others." That goes to show that the concept has been around for a long time! The answer is not quite as simple as that, though. There should be more information on the deed regarding the relationship of the parties. Whether you are recorded as tenants in common, or joint tenants with right of surviviorship; THAT makes a big difference. It also matters if there is a mortgage on the property too. The application of these rules varies by state; you really need to consult a probate or real estate attorney in your state to settle this.
How can I get my adult son to move out of my house?
I understand this is a very difficult situation. You don't want your son to hate you, yet you also dont' want to be taken advantage of. You do need to come up with two contracts. One for being a room mate, and the other with a formal date he needs to move out by. He gets to choose which contract he wants. Go get your signature notarized at the your bank to make it look more official. IF he chooses to stay as a room mate he needs to pay rent and he needs to pay YOU a cleaning fee of XX$ (whatever) per week, and if he refuses, you very very sweetly give him written notice of eviction, done through the proper legal channels. He may be depressed. He may be entitled and using you. You can try talking to him about this, to HELP him develop a move out plan. You have to be very DIRECT. If he still refuses to do what you ask, you need to make life VERY uncomfortable for him. Do not keep toilet paper in the bathroom (hide it in your room) Make sure your bedroom door has a new knob with key or passcode lock. Also buy almost NO food. Keep whatever food you can in your bedroom, hidden. Go out to eat more - buy inexpensive takeout for YOURSELF and don't give in. Hide the laundry detergent in your bedroom. Then call your internet provider and have it turned off for a short time. NO cable TV or internet will drive him crazy. Then remove the bedroom door from his bedroom and place it inside your bedroom or (better yet) give it to your neighbor / friend to hide in their garage and don't tell him where it is! Take the blinds off his bedroom window. Hide them. Tell him you will return these items when he starts paying rent.
