Because it is fun. Totally entitled OP who has no actual interest in the property but acts like she is lady of the manor. Alleged crazy mom on the other side. Kids trapped in the middle. All of the makings of DCUM fun. |
Oh, you missed the part where the BILs are actual attorneys (not pretend ones like you) and would draw the lease? How embarrassing. |
Patent attorney chiming in. It's been a while since I did contract law, but if the kid is paying rent (or any consideration- could be labor) he is a tenant of the property. There is an offer, an acceptance, and compensation. It's pretty black and white. It's been a few years since school and I never practiced real estate la but there is no distinction between invitee, guest, and tenant if both parties are paying. That said, we are all just guessing without seeing the lease. No one can be certain of anything absent that. |
Correct. And none are owners. And the grandkids have no special rights beyond what the invited kid would have. Actual lawyer. Don’t just play one on DCUM. |
Ehhh, we don't know if the grandkids are owners or not. They may very well be on title or even party to a trust if it's held that way. Patent attorney again. |
DP. Please. There are no major legal markets in areas where a beach house would be. So either they are not the legal superstars you think they are or they are too cheap/stupid to realize they need to hire an attorney that is familiar with landlord tenant law in the jurisdiction where the house is located. |
Man, you are just dumb as a box of rocks. You know where huge amounts of Big Law Partners retire? The coast of the Carolinas. It's probably the number 1 spot on the East Coast. |
| LOL @ the idea that BIL's are retired biglaw partners who've kept their licenses current and waived into NC so they can practice landlord tenant law. Plausible! |
Keep digging. You don't and a license to execute a lease. |
| *don't need a license |
+1. My family owns a house on Dataw Island and about half the residents there are retired lawyers. |
That sounds like a special kind of hell. |
| Die already! |
And need to CHARGE KIDS for sleeping in the family compound (lol) shed. |
Doubtful their names are on the deed. If you can't sell the property, it ain't yours. |
