What can I do with a renter's posessions?

We had a tenant in our rental property break the lease and leave. His girlfriend who was not on the lease left her stuff and has not retrieved it after several notices. At what point am I legally able to remove the possessions? What can I do with the stuff?

Default on personal loan and UCC-1 filing

I loaned someone money to finance her house. She signed a promissory note that was unsecured but she also signed a ''security'' letter which gives me security in her property if she defaults and the right to file a UCC-1. She has defaulted now and so I prepared a mortgage to have her sign along with a revised note. She won't return my calls now. I believe I have a security interest in her property because of the letter she signed. Does it help to file the UCC-1 against her in her home state with the property listed as collateral or do I need to file it in the county she lives in? Is there anything else I can do? I can't file a mortgage without her signing it, can I? She lives in Idaho where her property is located as well.

Service providers/Brokers protection from dummy lawsuits

real estate disclosure

Hi, I am in a lawsuit re non disclosure of leaks that occured in escrow. During depo, the seller admits to a leak, the realtor/manager admits to a leak, and the broker admits to knowing the leak. We are going to mediate next week, and now my attorney says that a jury never awards emotional distress damages and that punitive would be targeted at the seller and not the agent and broker. I would like a second opinion, because it does not make sense to me. Please help.

Financing Contingency

My residential purchase contract includes a contingency that I am able to obtain a Home Equity Loan to fund purchase. The term the bank offers is an equity loan --one for the new home and one for my current home. I am not comfortable with this and want to void the purchase contract. Can I do? Will I lose earnest money. Can any contarct be voided if one accepts the loss of earnest money?

Partition Action

I was paying on a mortage for my house and met and decited to buy an extra 2.5 acres with my boyfriend (soon to be husband). In ordere to do this there was a land lot adjustment made with the additional 2.5 acres added in. In ordere to have his name only on the the land loan (as my name only was on the house loan) we had to put his name on the deed to the entire house/land lot. Six months later he took off. He paid the 5000.00 down at closing and I have paid every payment since in the last two years automatically out of my checking. He is trying to blackmail me for more money to pay him off so he will remove his name. Constantly increasing the amount for no valid legal reason. I cannot afford to get another loan right now (based on credit ratio, even though I am making evey payment). Otherwise, I would just refinance the land loan...although I am not sure that would even work because he will settle on a price to be ''paid off''. I was told to file a partition Action, but I am not sure that will be in my best interest. I have read the previous threads on such an action, but of course my situation seems a lttle different. As I have had the house for two years before he came along. I do not want to sell the house. Any advice?

Neighbor Kids Balls, Do I have to Give Them Back?

I have had problems with neighbor kids on each side of me as well as behind me constanly throwing their balls over my back yard fence. I have also caught them trying to climb over into my yard to retrieve them. They are breaking my plants and I am tired of it. Do I have a legal obligation to give the balls back or can I dispose of them if I wish. I have also had problems with them throwing other things as well, rotten fruit, etc. I had a dog that I had to have put down because she became very ill and developed seizures. I can't really prove that she may of eaten something they threw over but we never were able to find the cause. I have also had to put up with one neighbor that has a pool and hung dirty boxers and other items of clothing over my fence. It was disgusting and I would throw their clothes back over. They have since moved and I haven't had any problems with the new owners. On the other side I was constantly finding beer cans and empty beer quart bottles in my bushes. I once had ivy on that side because the husband was a peeping tom. The wife would go out there and tear my ivy clear off the top of my fence killing it. They have also since moved. If any of these issues were to happen again do I have any recourse?

Real Property

My neighbors trees hang over my property and prevent me from driving my tractor under them to cut my grass. The previous owners let me cut the branches. The new owners had a fit when I cut them. I had been doing it foe the past fifteen years and did not think to ask. Am I legally allowed to trim these trees? Thank-you ~Larry
