Real Estate Lease Agreement
Colorado
Can I break a commercial lease if landlord stops providing heat?
I have been renting a commercial space for more than ten years. There have been consistent issues with heating and AC, as well as a leaking roof. For two weeks now there has been a major issue with the heater—it is not working. I have filed two maintenance requests, the first of which said the issue was handled. I just found out today (14 March) after reaching out a lot that the heater needs parts that are back ordered and won’t be available until 7 April. This is the last straw for me. I am wondering what the chances are of getting a letter about breaking the lease and being given time to find a new space. Any advice is helpful, and if this is possible I would love to get a quote.
Jane C.
It depends on the terms of the lease. The apartment is not habitable at the moment, so you should at least get a rent abatement. You should have a Colorado attorney review the lease.

Purchase Agreement
Illinois
Are oral purchase agreements valid?
I'm in the process of purchasing a property and the seller and I have verbally agreed to the terms of the purchase. I'm concerned about the validity of the agreement and want to ensure that I am properly protected under the law. I am looking for clarification on whether an oral purchase agreement is legally binding.
Michael C.
Your question suggests a real estate purchase. Oral contracts for the sale or transfer of land are subject to the statute of frauds in most states. This requires such agreements to be in writing and signed by the parties to be enforceable. Although there are some limited exceptions, I recommend trying to get your verbal agreement memorialized in writing as soon as possible.

Quitclaim Deed
Connecticut
Pros and cons of using a quitclaim deed?
I recently inherited a property from a family member, and I am trying to figure out the best way to transfer the title of ownership to me. I have heard of quitclaim deeds, and I am interested in learning more about the benefits and drawbacks of using a quitclaim deed to transfer the title of ownership.
Michael C.
Here are some of the main pros and cons of using a quitclaim deed: Pros: - It's a relatively quick and easy way to transfer property title. The process is simpler than other deed types because no warranty of title is provided. - It can help avoid probate if transferring title from a deceased owner. The property can be transferred without going through probate court. - It's generally less expensive than other deeds. A quitclaim deed is usually considered the simplest and cheapest deed option. - It clears up potential title clouds. It can resolve ambiguities in the property's title history. Cons: - It provides no warranty of title. The person transferring the property does not guarantee they actually own the property. - No liability protection for the recipient. If there are defects in the property title, the recipient has no legal recourse against the grantor. - It may not transfer all interests. Mineral rights, easements, mortgages, and other encumbrances may still exist after the transfer. - The grantor must have valid interest to quitclaim. If the grantor doesn't actually have rights to the property, the deed may be void. - It can facilitate fraud if misused. Care should be taken that the grantor has rights to the property. In summary, a quitclaim deed can be a fast and low-cost option to transfer property title, but provides less protection than other deeds. It's important to be sure the grantor has valid rights to avoid potential title issues. Consulting a real estate attorney can help navigate the pros and cons.

Real Estate Contract
New York
Can you purchase or refinance under a land contract?
I’ve been living here for 2 years. Currently have been working with my credit union and they are having a terrible time trying to understand the legalities of my land contract first off, and secondly they just don’t seem to know what they are doing. It’s been over 8 months, 4 different loan officers and I’m once again waiting for someone else to help finish this thing out. It’s only $60,000 with a $120,000 appraisal. So, as of now I am stuck paying 2.5x monthly under this land contract than I was promised would be an easy mortgage process. So any guidance in the right direction would be very helpful. It’s a New York home. 20 yr fixed, no balloon, with a (brace yourself) 12% apr. HELP ME PLEASE! One month I’m being told to authorize a credit check for a first time homebuyer grant method of mortgaging this property. The next it’s authorizing it for a refinance. I do have earnest money deposits for over $3,000 and another $3000 paid towards principal under this land contract also.
Jane C.
I suggest you speak with a New York real estate attorney. That attorney needs to review the documents related to the transaction.

Fee Retainer Agreement
New York
Can you explain the purpose and terms of a Fee Retainer Agreement?
I am currently in the process of hiring a lawyer for a legal matter and have been presented with a Fee Retainer Agreement. While I understand that this document outlines the lawyer's fees and payment terms, I would like a thorough explanation of its purpose and the specific terms I should be aware of. I want to ensure that I fully understand the financial obligations and protections provided by this agreement before proceeding with legal representation.
Arthur S.
In many states, e.g. New York, Fee Retainer agreements are required by law before any legal services can be performed. As you have indicated, the base purpose of a retainer agreement is to set forth a clear description of the scope of legal services to be performed and the fees and disbursements payable in connection with the rendering of such services. The retainer agreement should also set forth the rights of both client and attorney in the event a dispute arises between them and the methodology for resolving such dispute, e.g. arbitration vs lawsuit. The retainer agreement should also set forth the right of the client to terminate, as well as the right of the attorney to withdraw from, the attorney/client relationship.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
