My mom had a reverse mortgage on her house when she died. I am 67. I know that we are supposed to pay off that reverse mortgage within a year; but if the title of the house is transferred to me, can we just keep that reverse liened against the house without paying it off?

I have four dogs and live in a co-op building with a one pet policy. I have had my dogs 'openly and notoriously' for over 6 years, walking them openly every day, and the neighbors, super, and his workers know them. Now the board has sent a letter demanding to know how many dogs I have because they've heard I am breaking the pet policy. Do I have any recourse or will I have to give up my dogs?

I was a tenant in a condo in New York City. My lease expired on August 31, 2017, but due to delays caused by the realtor and the new landlord, I moved into another condo in the same building on September 6. My old landlord is now demanding I pay the entire September rent, which he plans to keep from my security deposit. Additionally, my AC leaked in mid-August, causing damage that the landlord couldn't repair until after I moved out, preventing him from renting the unit. Do I have any chance to win my security deposit of $4,000?

I am issuing a small claims case against my neighbor for nuisance. He has employed a lawyer, and the lawyer says if I pursue the small claims case against his client, he will remove my case to circuit court. Can he do this, and what are the conditions under which this can happen?

I have a girlfriend of 7 years who has been living with me since she lost her job and place. She has no job, car, or place to go. We have been having relationship issues, and I want to break up with her but am concerned about how to get her out legally since she has nowhere to go. What legal steps can I take to evict her if she refuses to leave?
