QUESTIONS

  • what age is a teenager allowed to leave the home legally?
  • Our lease states that a clothes washer and dryer are "furnished appliances." Knowing that they would be here is part of what made us decide to move here. We discussed it with our landlord before we moved in, and he said he would have take care of it. After two months, we still don't have a washer and dryer. When I brought it up to the landlord last week, he said he didn't remember the conversation, but if I wanted, he would buy a washer and dryer, and he would let us pay it off with our rent. I looked at the lease again, just to make sure I remembered correctly, and don't understand this.
  • After I moved into my apartment, I found that when it rained hard, my closet had water coming in on the floor and my window was no sealed properly. They say they are working on getting bids but it has been 3 months and no repairs. Also, 2 weeks ago, I reported termite tuunnels in the said closet and have pointed out that they are growing in number an d length and still no date of treatment. What are my rights as a tenant?
  • Current Parenting time/custody that is filed with the court from 2006 is 50/50. My ex moved to CA 4 years ago and my son went with him so at the time we did a document stating my son would live in CA and my ex would have custody of him.(this document was not filed with the courts) My ex has moved back to AZ and my son wants to go back to the original parenting plan and custody arrangement. My ex wont let him and states that the notarized document states he has full custody and only can see me every other weekend. Is this notarized document legal or is he illegally withholding my son from me?
