QUESTIONS

  • My husband passed away three months ago. The insurance company requested me to furnish appointment of guardianship to release the benefit of my daughter (under 18) under the Group Term Life Insurance. What should I do?
  • My room mate did not pay rent. My apt manager and I agreed to let her out of the lease today. Nov 1st, she did not pay Nov rent and refuses to. Can I change locks? I have given her the weekend to come get her things and she has agreed to that. If she does not come to get her things can I change locks on Monday so she doesn't come and go? She has agreed 3 times now with a date to come get her things and never shows up. I have all saved texts. I just wamt to change locks and have her get her things now with me home. Is this Ok?
  • I'm being sued for credit card debt of 1000.00. I answered the summons and now their attorneys want no trial but want the judge to resolve the issue. What are my options? Do they put a lien on my property?
  • My house foreclosed and was sold at auction on 4/4. On 4/5 I spoke with the new owner and he said he would give me until 4/12 to vacate. Today 4/9 I recieved a Forcible Detainer request form in the mail. DO I need to be out by today?
  • I own mobile home but rent the land. Problem with the electric pole in the back of the house which has the meter and a junction box containing the main breaker switch. SRP power said main breaker was bad and needed replacing. Who's responsibility for cost is it, mine or the land owner
  • I live on an apartment complex that has individually owned units but one HOA that covers the entire complex. The pool has been out of use all summer (green and disgusting), despite numerous complaints. Today, I noticed a flyer from the Maricopa County Environmental Health Department that the pool was closed by the county because it is in violation of health codes. Is there some way I can get my rent reduced because of the lack of access to the pool? Considering I chose this location and agreed to the higher cost of living because there was a pool at the complex. Just curious about my rights.
  • what responsibility does the landlord have when it comes to bed bugs.
  • My landlord of the apartment complex has made everyone aware that we won't have hot water for a month and a half, and they'll take $100 off rent. Is that legal?
  • My house was due for a short sale. We had a buyer with good faith money down. The loan servicing company let the time frame lapse, did not respond to my realtor's requests, and sold the loan service subsidiary to Goldman Sachs the week after,and they took it to foreclosure. Now I have a lawyer for the HOA hounding me for $4000. The bank that owns my former property just listed it again for the price we ( my realtor and myself ) had it sold for originally. What do I do about the HOA problem? This was in Arizona. I am now living in Colorado.
  • I own my mobile home but rent the lot. I almost got evicted last month because I was two months behind in rent. I paid in full. I am disabled and working for minimum wage at a job that only has part time hours and I am on food stamps. I was unable to pay my rent and I am still a month behind. I have been served to be evicted for the price of one months rent. Are they legally allowed to do this for being one month behind? I will be able to pay the rent on the 31st. A new company has taken over this low rent trailer park and harassing everyone. Can they fine us for weeds on property?
