What should I do if my husband died without a will?

Please contact an attorney as soon as possible to go over all the aspects of your situation. It probably would have to be a detailed examination....

You will need to file a motion with the court to specifically detail how this will happen., and then get an order to that effect.

Can I break my lease without having to pay the remainder of the term, based on a 'lease termination fee'?

Probably not. You should stick it out. Maybe they will allow you to apply your security deposit after an inspection.

You are responsible for utilities in your rented area only. If you are paying for the hallway on your bill, ask for a concession on rent. Talk to...

Happy endings?

You may want to take your concerns to the local police. That would provide you with some evidence. Or maybe discourage the tenant from that...

The lease may specify areas that you may use. Probably if it is silent, tenant is allowed to use it. Try to be reasonably accommodative.

You need to fully research the issue, and be ready for court. Have an attorney help you.

You say there is no order, then say the opposite. No way to answer.

Taking name off mortgage and title?

I disagree with the prior answer. The bankruptcy removed the debt unless the divorce decree said differently. Consut with a lawyer.

If the lease says it, yes. Landlord will take fee out of your security deposit otherwise.
