No rental agreement
Nov 29th 2000 we moved in to an apartment in New York.we paid by check $8001st month, $800 2nd and $800 deposit we were not given a rental agreement to sign,due to certain circumstances we vacated the property on the 12th Dec,notifying the person who was subletting to us.After inspecting the property he told us that he would notify us as to the amount we would recieve.On Dec 29th we contacted him and we were told that we would recieve the deposit only,($800).It is now Jan 24t 2001.Our question is this,do we have a legal right to $1600?Can you advise us to the course of action to take to recover the $800 deposit( or more if possible.(The subletter went to Italy and his father was representing him,we paid the above amount to the father who also inspected the appartment upon our vacation of the premises).

ilegal apartment issues
We have been living at an apartment for a little over a year now.We signed a rental agreement with century 21 and the landlord for 1 year.I later found out that it is a ilegal apartment.There is a aprtment under us with a gas stove(firehazard)and most of all our complaint is the landlord has a sump pump to bring the basement apartments waste up and out.During the last few months the sewage smell from the basement apartment has been atroscious.It has been giving us headaches and nausea.The landlord comes by and puts vinegar down our drains everytime we complain.We are fed up but are in no position to move as of yet My wife is going into surgery this week for breast surgery forcing me to take time off from work.I feel this is a health concern for both my wife and I.I mean she is going to have to recover in this enviroment.We pay 1700$ to live here.I have been documenting also the brown water which comes out of our domestic water taps moth after month some days it is so brown I can”t take a bath or shower.Is there a legal issue here ,I was also charged a realtor fee of one months rent to live here.Is that legal in an ilegal apartment?

Production of Title for boat trailer from previous purchase
In September, 1999 I purchased a boat trailer from a man through a friend who lives 150 miles away. At the time this person did not have the physical title to this boat saying that it had been lost. He gave me a handwritten bill of sale and said that I would be able to obtain a new title in my name from Motor Vehicle with this. Motor Vehicle notified me that the previous owner would have to apply for a duplicate title and that I would need this to obtain a new title in my name. The previous owner refuses to do this for me. What are my options?

auto bill of sale
Have a signed contract from car dealer. He called and said the owner does not want to honor the price, it should have been higher. He altered his copies of the agreement. Mine is the original.
