Q. If my daughter buys a co-op in a no-pet building, will I be able to visit her overnight with my 35-pound Boston Terrier? Does "no pets" means a dog cannot go in the building or stay for an occasional overnight?
A. Yes and no, say our experts.
Q. I inadvertently left my stove on for an extended period of time and gas leaked. It was not until my neighbors and the super came by that I was aroused and turned it off. Can my co-op kick me out of the building for this? What other legal ramifications might I face?
A. You can relax--at least for now, say our experts.
Q. If you have two identical apartments--one in a building that has a landlease, and one in a building that owns the land it sits on--how much less is the landlease apartment worth?
A. Expect to pay a little to a whole lot less, but be prepared for higher monthly costs, say our experts.
