- Q. Ownership division after one parent's death without a will.
- A: I can't give you a definitive answer without looking at the deed. Typically when a married couple buys a home a tenancy by the entireties is created. By adding the adult child What that means is the cotenants own it and there are certain advantages in terms of ownership.

- Q. Tenant stopped paying rent, unresponsive for 6 months, should I issue a notice of abandonment?
- A: You should evict the tenant. If there was no rental agreement, another action which is a little quicker might be appropriate. Since you accepted rent, you have to evict him. Since he owes you six months of rent, you can file based on nonpayment immediately. I don't know how much damage was done by his failure to pay the electric bill and the burst pipes. You may want to start a separate civil action for those damages. I would suggest doing that sooner rather than later. If you wait till after he's evicted, you will not know where to find the tenant, unless you know where he works.
- Q. Can I stop eviction due to landlord wanting apartment for granddaughter after 10 years of tenancy?
- A: Your landlord can evict you from the apartment if it is for his or her personal use. The fact that a grandchild wants to live there, is not a basis to evict.
