What is a guestimate cost for a real estate lawyer? -

I have an agreement with my landlord for a rent to own property, however, there is no mention in the agreement about giving notice to leave the property. I would like to move out of the home, but I do not know if there are any consequences in me leaving if there are none stated on the agreement.

A gestimate? Well if you were dying and they could save your life, would any amount of money matter? Didn t think so. If your agreement doesn t specifically state the terms for vacating the premises and you have a years lease, I would suggest giving them 60 days notice. If you have no lease or agreement in writing, give them 30 days notice.

You are considered a month to month tenent so you need to give 30 days notice. The Lawyer would chare fom 100-500 to go over the contract depending on the complexity of the instrument.

My lawyers initial consultation was 150 $. We were there for 1.5 hours. After that he charges 300 $ an hour. Last nite he thanked me for giving him quot;a most interesting casequot;. I relate that to quot;ca ching ca chingquot;

This varies based on the area in which you live. Call around and check with various lawyers. Many will provide a free initial consultation. Check with friends for recommendations. Good luck.
