QUESTIONS

  • my husband and I are on disability and we have one small truck pay $740 a month rent and make approximately 2100 and fifty dollars a month between the two of us can we apply for food stamps we have no minor children in our household it is just the two of us
  • The man listed on my AZ birth certificate is not my real father. Am I able to change this information? What would the process be?
  • The AZ Landlord and Tenant Act states that a landlord must supply reasonable amounts of hot water, heating, and air conditioning or cooling. As far as air conditioning goes what is a reasonable amount? Is it a specific temp that your unit should be able to maintain? My unit in the evenings sometimes reach 83-84 degrees. Others in the complex said they have the same issue. We have a chilled water system, and we believe they just need to turn the temperature down on the system. But they say that the water temp is at the correct temp.
  • I am currently legally separated, but wish to file for this to be dissolved. What paperwork needs to be filed with the courts to dissolve a legal separation?
  • I am a double lung transplant recipient and even though my doctor says that I cannot return to work, CIGNA looked at my hospital records and a panel cancelled my waiver for my Life Insurance premiums from my employer benefits. Can they do this? My life expectancy is short, about 5 years on average. My wife and I are on disability and they want a quarter of the premium to appeal their decisions. We are debt free don't want to acquire more debt to fight this. Can someone help?
  • I found a statute saying a victim of domestic violence can terminate lease without repercussion but my landlord won't accept. What do I do?
  • Collection agency sent a letter instead of summons, is this the proper procedure?
  • My question is can a person have two people to be her representative and alternate? Would that be power of attorney? I am at that place in my life where this is urgent I fill out and choose to be my power of attorney. I was just diagnosed with cancer.
  • My Park charged me a $5 per day late fee on unpaid late fees. Is this legal in Arizona? The park applies any payment made to the amount due, thus guaranteeing that any payment made that is less than the entire amount owed will be subject to late fees for the entire time additional money is owed. I believe there are laws preventing that practice for mortgages but I'm unsure about rentals or leases. Shouldn't payments first be applied toward the monthly rent or lease and then any additional payment be applied to late fees? And isn't it illegal to charge interest or fees on late fees?
  • A friend is in custody.needs bail. Car in tow yard . From jail signed over on a wire card bill of sale to car . Can I get the car out with bill of sale ?
