I am being sued by my old landlord for rent payments on a property he no longer owns. The complaint indicates 6 months of rent are due, but I have a cancelled check for the first month in question, paid a month in advance and a month security for the next two months, and the property went to Deed in Lieu of foreclosure on 03/25/2015. I am now paying the new owner. Additionally, the original landlord did not fulfill his obligations under the lease, such as providing a bathroom and heat, and turned off our power twice. My questions are: 1. If the deed is signed and dated 03/25, could he still continue to collect rent after that? 2. Should I include the issues in my response to the complaint or should I file a counterclaim?

I have a tenant that is verbally abusive. When something goes wrong, they become aggressive. My maintenance guy refuses to service this unit now, leaving me in need to find another person. Should I give the tenant a warning about their behavior, or is it best to ignore it?

I went to the Morris Plains office for East Coast Weight Loss Center and was asked to take a Zyto scan and then given supplements for a 30 to 40 lb. weight loss in 20 days. I paid $600 at the visit and set up an automatic payment for the next 4 or 5 months for $320. I have not used any of the products. I did more research when I got home and found many responses that this was a scam and I called my bank to see what I could do about future withdrawals. I was told to change my debit card number and I did. Tonight I got a text from Greg, advising I need to call tonight because they were going to freeze my account. That of course would cause problems. Please advise. Total cost I believe was $1500 and I paid $920. Going to attend my great niece's wedding in October and lost all reason. Please advise.
