^^^ If you have a mortgage, can someone from your bank enter your house? ^^^

>> If you have a mortgage, are you really the owner?

If your real estate can be alienated from you for nonpayment of property taxes, are you really the owner?

No, you can refuse that too. I never allowed the exterminator in when I had cats.

“No, you can refuse that too. I never allowed the exterminator in when I had cats.”

Good to know that...I semi-own now (i.e., still a mortgage, and always property taxes).

Thanks.

"If you have a mortgage, are you really the owner?" Yep, at least until foreclosure starts or if you have no taxes in arrears or outstanding liens.

Seem to recall a recent SCOTUS ruling that says otherwise.

Unless its a membership store where you signed that option away, you can refuse loss prevention inspections. The store can in turn ask you never to come back to that store or the entire chain.

I have seen too many buffoons in loss prevention to have much respect for them. I have cost several their jobs over time and injured a couple.

Well.. technically, thanks to the overbearing govt.. we don’t even ‘own’ the property we paid for... we still have to pay taxes on something we already own :/

they do, but when they enter into a renter’s contract, they agree to be bound to the terms of the rental agreement. there are well established reasonable standards of what can and can’t be in a rental contract and it varies state to state. further if the building owners believe there’s risk of damage to their property, or illegal activity going on, they have rights as well.

bank - no. they don’t have keys and breaking in would be illegal.

How about eminent domain action filed by anyone with more money or political connections than the property owner?

Everybody else treats renters like trash, no reason the government shouldn’t....

The government treats everybody like trash.

“wearying” = searching. ;(

Either one works. The government wearies me whenever its agents & employees show up; it may well weary my home, too, to have them in or about it.
