- Q. 2nd mortgage is included in bankruptcy and now the 2nd mortgage is apparently in foreclosure.
- A: I have heard this story many times. There is no such thing as "second mortgage included in bankruptcy."

- Q. I own my apartment. My upstairs neighbor is renting and causing recurring damage to my unit. How can I protect myself?
- A: You have options but it doesn't seem like you have exercised them yet.
