QUESTIONS

  • I moved into a student housing complex where I was matched with 3 roommates. I filled out a questionnaire to match me with roommates where I noted no pets. Upon moving in I discovered my roommates had 2 cats, I have never had an allergy to cats. Within 5 days of moving in I had to go to urgent care where I was diagnosed with Allergies. Now I have to take medication daily to keep the headaches under control. I notified my leasing office and they are not willing to do anything about it. Is there anything I can do? There is nothing in the lease agreement about that.
  • I am the owner of a rental property and am under contract with a tenant through 2/29/16. Circumstances have arisen which are going to require me to sell the home within the next few months. It appears as though there is no early termination agreement in the lease. Can I terminate with ample notice to the tenant?

I have tried to work at child support arrangemmetns privately with the mother of my children but have not been able to come to an agreement.

I am in foreclosure and they are offering me 2,000 if I sign the agreement and move out within a month. They say that all needed repairs to the home will be deducted from the $2,000. This is an old home built in 1954 and is in need of some repairs. They will proceed with eviction if I do not sign the agreement. How long do Eviction Proceedings take? How long before I will be forced out of my home?
