  • In the city of Phoenix Arizona they are allowed to charge a 2% tax fee on rent. My apartment complex charges 2.3% on every single charge on the bill. My rent is $757 and I pay $17.41 for taxes just on my rent alone. My mailbox is on site but I have to drive 20 minutes and pay $40 to pick up my mailbox key! Even though it's onsite. It's not a P.O Box. They also charge a $21 fee to pay my rent online but they refuse to let us pay any other way than online. When asked if the 2.3% tax is included in property tax the employee agreed it was. Is this legal to keep charging all these fees w/ high tax?

  • I rent from a rental property management company, and today there was a "NOTICE OF TRUSTEE SALE" post on my door.The letter states that the house will be auctioned off in 2 months(11/13/2015), I'm unsure if I should stay or go before the auction, and if I go would I be at risk if I used the rent to move?
  • If an order of protection was placed, does it show addresses, names, and phone numbers to the person being served?
  • If my son turns 18 and is getting a settlement from an accident does that affect my benefits?
  • My family just moved out of a rental house where we lived for 5 years. In the original lease, and verbally ever since then (even in March of this year) the landlord said we would not have to pay for the condition of the carpeting when we moved out because he was going to replace it. The carpet was not damaged, but needed deep cleaning. Now the landlord says we owe $400 over and above our security deposit. He lists $500 for carpet cleaning. Can he do this? What can we do? Thanks
