Lease Terms

New York

Asked on Jun 26, 2022

Am I liable for august rent payment if I’m granted a 30 day notice on july 1 st?

I am currently living in a apartment with a lease agreement from March trough August 31st. I am to make a pay on the 1st of every month. As per the agreement I can choose to renew the lease and the end of the term in August. The lease then goes in to mention if I choose not to not to renew the least I will be granted a 30 day notice on July 1st. Does this mean I can leave the end of July and I’m not liable for August rental payment? Although it stated my term is until august 31st?

Angela Y.

Answered Jul 5, 2022

Hi there, For a definitive answer, a lawyer would need to see the exact lease language; however, it is very unlikely that not renewing a lease would result in a free month of rent (unless there is another part of the lease that is relevant or there was an error in creating the document).

HVAC Contract

New York

Asked on Jul 3, 2024

Can I terminate an HVAC contract if the contractor fails to complete the agreed-upon work within the specified timeframe?

I hired a contractor to install a new HVAC system in my home, and we signed a contract that stated the work would be completed within four weeks. However, it has been three months, and the contractor has not finished the installation. Despite numerous promises and excuses, there has been no progress made, and I am growing increasingly frustrated. Can I terminate this HVAC contract due to the contractor's failure to meet the agreed-upon timeframe?

Arthur S.

Answered Aug 7, 2024

Simple answer...yes. The failure of the contractor to timely complete performance through no fault of the homeowner can be the basis for termination of the contract. Of course, the terms of the contract will control on this subject. It is customary for contracts to require that a written notice be provided by the homeowner to the contractor setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature and scope of the default by the contractor and requiring that the default be cured within a state time period following delivery of the notice...failing which, the homeowner will be entitled to terminate the contract and, in certain instances, seek recovery of damages by reason of such default..

Co-Ownership Agreement

New York

Asked on Feb 12, 2025

Need advice on Co-ownership Agreement.

I am considering purchasing a property with a friend and we want to draft a Co-ownership Agreement to outline our rights and responsibilities. However, we have different financial contributions and I want to ensure that my investment is protected in case of any disputes or if one of us wants to sell the property. Can you provide guidance on what should be included in the agreement to address these concerns and any other important aspects we should consider?

Damien B.

Answered Feb 13, 2025

Hello. An option is to create an LLC to purchase the property. This would provide liability protection. As part of the LLC, the members would have an Operating Agreement outlining the terms and conditions of managing the LLC (which owns the property), including provisions regarding financial contributions, disbursement, resolutions of disputes or disagreements, and how a property sale would occur.

Real Estate Contract

New York

Asked on Dec 26, 2021

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.

I suggest you speak with a New York real estate attorney. That attorney needs to review the documents related to the transaction.

Quitclaim Deed

New York

Asked on Oct 1, 2023

What protection does quitclaim deed offer?

I am the owner of a piece of property that I recently inherited from a family member. I am considering having a quitclaim deed drawn up to transfer ownership of the property to another family member. I would like to know what protection this type of deed offers to both the grantor and grantee in order to ensure that the transfer of ownership is done legally and correctly.

Damien B.

Answered Oct 24, 2023

Generally, an owner of property and the potential purchaser would use a Quitclaim Deed when there is no need to warrant or guarantee that the property is free and clear of liens. In other words, the seller does not warrant and guarantee that the property is free and clear of any and all liens. A common use would be when the property has been in the family and the transfer of the property is between family members knowing that there are no liens on the property and all taxes have been paid on the property.
