QUESTIONS

  • I filed in small claims for the return of my rental deposit. I named the home owner as defendant and responded with a copy of the lease which names someone else as the landlord. I don't want to wait for a court date. How can I "cancel" this action and file a claim on the landlord on the rental agreement?
  • My refrigerator has not been working to keep my food cold. How long does the landlord have to repair?
  • the laundry room in our complex is filthy. Inside washers very dirty. Dryers need to be cleaned. Washer and Dryers are always breaking. Everyone complains but nothing is being done to remedy the situation.
  • Our income is social security only. Is it safe from garnisement? I am currently paying 228 per month on a credit card settlement arrangement, and I can no longer afford it since I can no longer work. My health has failed. Please advise. Thank you.
  • I have a walmart discover card that even if i pay the minimum payment, they will tack on a late fee then add the balance and fees together to get the interest payment. My card was over the limit and I did pay that amount, yet they still added another late fee. They have charged over 200 dollars in fees. This is b/s, they get me one way or the other. Seems like double dipping to me.
  • I recently went through a child custody hearing. In the judges ruling, he claimed that I was convicted of Domestic Violence and that I was abusing te legal system by reporting Domestic violence by my ex. I have never been charged but my ex has been 12 times with 5 convictions and 5 other charges dismissed as part of plea agreements. Do I have any recourse against the judge?
  • Is there a law or work on a law regarding couples involved in domestic violence requiring them to seek counseling separately. Or, more specifically, if doing counseling with a couple when domestic violence is apparent, are therapists then required to refer to separate therapists for the individuals of the couple?
  • My grandmother has late stage dementia, we recently moved her and provided a Doctors note to relieve her of her lease. I am POA. The apartment complex just sent a letter stating that there is urine on carpet ( my grandmothers) and they have to replace it and treat concrete. My Grandmother is on state assistance and has $110 left over after her assisted living expenses. They said they are giving me 30 days to pay in full or she is going to collections. From what I understand, she is considered judgement clear due to limited income. Can they come after me and send me to collections for this
  • Is a short term vacation rental that has a signed lease agreement with a start and end date exempt from the covid eviction laws? Rental agreement can be a short as 2 days, and as long as 90 days for a winter snowbird.
