They want you to pay by portal or they can automatically deduct from your account. Is this legal?

  • My daughter recently move to tucson to attend college. The apt complex was supposedly wifi ready, but the previous tenant in her unit apparently damaged the wiring to the point of a very costly repair, which the complex manager told her `they did the best they could', but it would cost too much to fix, and basically, tough luck. She now has to rely on using data (expensive!) and they are not offering to cover that cost. If the other units in the complex have access to this service, isnt she legally entitle to it as well?
  • girlfriend tenant moved out. took without a written agreement items such as washer and driver ( I am paying on) and sectional sofa (gift from my sister) that I had and were in home before she moved in. police report filed but told nothing to be done but court?
