I a group of homes a HOA was established by the seller prior to putting 62 5 acre on the market. A group of people after a few years went by and got together and moved into existing lots. They intern formed and had enough votes for the board of directors. Without telling anyone they have got together and completely rewrote the rules and regulations as they wanted them. We received their packages of this on this Christmas Eve. which is 15 years after we have filled 62 5 acrer lots. Our question is can the board do this without a vote of the homeowners?? Do we need a GOOD LAWYER to fight how they made changes to march to their orders??
JA: What steps have you taken so far? Have you prepared or filed any paperwork?
Customer: No, we just received them on Christmas Eve. Before we hire a lawyer. We need to even know if they have the right to do this. I am sure everyone has not read them as yet.

First to let us know if a boad can even do this in a existing HOA. We have been told only by the board a lawyer said they have the right to rewrite the rules and regulations. On a previous board I was on for 12 years you always had to have a vote to accept changes by the homeowners.

My ex-wife has the Mobile home in her name but on my families property. I was ordered to get the home refinanced in my name. That was almost 8 years ago. I can't get the home refinanced because they require 2 years of employment. I work construction and move to other jobs periodically. I'm currently paying rent which keeps rising to her until I can get it transferred. It's becoming to much to afford. I've never missed a payment. I feel like I'm trapped to keep paying whatever she wants as I don't want to be in contempt of cout.

I have a question regarding my rights to a family home. My parents left a home to both me and my sister. I was living in the home and made the mortgage payments for the past 5 years. I recently bought another home. The family home mortgage is still in my parent's name and both my sister and I are on the deed. We wanted to refinance the home and put the mortgage in both our name. I found out I did not qualify for the new mortgage due to short sale in 2020. The new mortgage would have to be in my sister's name only. What legal rights do I have at this point? I would just like to be paid out and she can have full ownership of the home. Can she refinance the home without my permission?

I had previously bought this house at a sheriffs sale several months prior ( through foreclosure from a junior lienholder) On December 24, I received a notice from a law firm (dated December 8) representing a senior lien holder on the property, seeking leave to name me as a new defendant in a motion to pursue foreclosure against the property.

Thank you! I have questions regarding breach of conditions within both my primary and second mortgage. Both mortgages went through the original lender, then to a second, and then finally to Fannie Mae. MERS is on both mortgages holding legal title. MERS listing only has first lender for both mortgages listed with both being inactive (not noting an explanation, such as transfer to new lender or foreclosure.) As a sidenote, I am not in foreclosure. If MERS is specifically named in both mortgages, would this not be breach of conditions if they have, for whatever reason, been removed from the process? If so, what is my procedure to null and void these contracts?
JA: What steps have you taken so far? Have you prepared or filed any paperwork?
Customer: No paperwork has been filed.
JA: Where is the property located?
Customer: Dane County, Wisconsin
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: I am also aware that the promissory note and the mortgage are to stay together. I want to insure that is also the case.

Can an apartment complex sporadically alter a lease agreement legally? When is it considered bait and switch? I renewed a leasing agreement this past October and the pet deposit was for $150. Now that I have obtained one they are saying that the pet deposit went up this past April prior to my renewal but my contract. However, this is not what is listed as such on my new agreement. I am so upset now. They are ccrossing out the $150 and altering to $300, and claiming an error on my lease.
JA: Just to clarify, where is the apartment located? These laws can vary based on state.
Customer: Gainesville GA
JA: What are the terms of the lease? Any issues related to maintenance or upkeep?
Customer: It is a year lease. I have no maintenance nor upkeep issues.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.

Customer: The Clift-Notes version;
We set up a meeting/quorum with the required minimum 10% of the community, not everyone has to attend a quorum per our bylaws. Technically our bylaws state that all we need is the majority of the quorum to vote to remove the board but we gave everyone the ability to vote. In addition to the quorum voting to removing the board we hand delivering a voting form to all 63 homes, we asked them to return the vote to my email before our December 15th meeting with the board. We received 17 votes to remove the board and 6 votes to keep them. See below the exact bylaws pertaining to voting, I’ve included them as well.
BYLAWS:
See PAGE 2, SECTION 4 - QUORUM
A quorum is present throughout any meeting of the Members if persons entitled to cast 10% of all of the votes in the association are present in person or by proxy at the beginning of the meeting. In the event business cannot be conducted at any meeting of the members because a quorum is not present, that meeting may be adjourned to a later date by the affirmative vote of a majority of those present in person or by proxy. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the declaration or of these bylaws the quorum requirements at the next meeting shall be one-half of the quorum requirement applicable to the meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum, and this provision shall continue to reduce the quorum by 50% from the required at the previous meeting, as previously reduced, until such time as a quorum is present and business can be contacted.
