- Q. I and another person brought property together. We were together now we are apart. Both names are on the three propertie
- A: Depends on how the properties are held. If the properties are purchased with a business entity, you may need to dissolve the business and liquidate assets. If the properties are just held jointly, then you may need to file an action to partition (sell) the properties. You can certainly try to reach an agreement with the other person to buy you out, but often these issues take a lawsuit to resolve. Consult counsel to determine your options.
- Q. My apartment maintenance entered my apartment without notice. Is this legal?
- A: If they had reason to believe that the water leak was coming from your unit then their conduct would likely fall under the emergency exception to the notice requirement under the lease and the landlord tenant act.
