QUESTIONS

  • This is our 2nd year of renting in a Phoenix apartment building. Over the past few months the smell of marijuana or some kind of drugs is consuming our apartment, through the a/c vents. On a daily basis, our family has headaches and we are concerned for our 18 month grandchild. Our lease ends in 8 months and cannot deal with this for that long. What rights do we have and is it legal for us to break our lease without action taken against us?
  • My boyfriend and I been in relationship since 2009 we has 1 kid and she is 20 months. My boyfriend passed away just last week.

  • My husband recently took a plea agreement and though he was signing for disorderly conduct. Once we got the paperwork home it indicates that it is domestic violence. There is also several other items on the form that were not told by us by the prosecutor. Can we appeal? Both "victims" in this case were trying to call an ambulance, not the police. They have both written letters stating that they were never in any danger and told the police that evening when they came. Also, the defendant signed the plea just hours after leaving the hospital.We feel duped into taking this plea.
