My parents gave my husband and me a car. They signed a piece of paper that states that they did give the car to us. The car has transmission problems, and it doesn't run. Since we live with my husband's parents, we brought the car home and parked it in the back. My father in law is threatening us to get the title or he is getting rid of it, can he do that? My parents are waiting on that? My parents haven't given us the title because they don't have it, the bank does. They are waiting on the bank to clear final payments etc. Which is why we haven't worked on it. Can my father in law give the car away and move it? It's rightfully mine and my husbands. If he does, what can we do about it? It's on his dad's property, but we live their too.
Answer
No landlord, family or not, wants a broken down car on their property. In fact, most apartment leases specifically say that. It is your in-laws house and the fact that they allow you to stay there does not mean you have the right to do what you want. Assuming your father-in-law is serious, either move it (perhaps to your parents' house) or he probably will. He can have it towed (there may be abandoned vehicle ordinances he should follow).
