Chinese and Spanish Speaking Attorneys

My firm has just began an Of Counsel relationship with attorneys who speak Spanish and Chinese. Please let me know if we should offer the Real Estate School in either of these languages. Also, these attorneys are available for your Non-English speaking clients.

Opening the new location today. We are going to take measurements and start a little construction. By the end of the month, we expect consultations to be available in both Manhasset and Center Moriches. The Manhasset office is opening in correlation with our real estate school offerings through Bethpage Federal Credit Union, at their South Oyster Bay Road, Bethpage, location. We will now be a presence in both Suffolk County and Nassau County.

Security Deposit Ownership

This money is the tenants, not the landlords. Therefore, if the landlord gets interest on this money, its the tenants. So, landlords should not commingle this money and instead should use a separate account if they want to put it in a bank. In fact, there are specific laws about this in the General Obligations Law and a landlord is sometimes required to get interest for the tenant. From a landlords perspective, safe is better than sorry. Know the law and follow it.
