QUESTIONS

  • I paid my deposit to my landlord with 2 money orders. I have receipts from the landlord for both of them. The landlord "lost" one of the money orders. They are now asking me to pay them again for the lost one and for me to file the paperwork myself to see if I can get the money back from the company who issued the original money order. I feel that once it left my possession and they gave me a receipt that it is their responsibility. Can they penalize me for their mistake?
  • Can a landlord demand a 60 day notice after a lease has expired and the tenant is on a month to month lease? In the expired lease, it stated a 60 day notice is required. They still demand a 60 day notice after the lease has expired and tenet is only on a month to month.
  • When I first received my daughter's birth certificate (born in 2007) I did not notice it, but after having looked at it again, I noticed my birth date on her birth certificate is incorrect, how can I change it?
  • My lease states that 2 adults are allowed to leave in the premises. I had a friend stay with me and my landlord forced me to kicked them out. He said that having somebody else stay with me without his approval meant I broke the lease and he could evict me. I have always paid rent on time and he is enforcing rules with me that he is not enforcing with the other tenants. I can't afford a lawyer and I fell harassed. What are my options?
  • What is a security deposit, and how much is your landlord allowed to charge you for it?
  • i live in a mobil home park my manager has refused my daughter to ever come visit me because shes a felon can they do that?
  • My son applied for food assistance and did get a card but his balance every month is only $16.00 a month and this is not the amount he was told at his initial application. How do I find out what happened?
  • I have a one year lease that expires in a few months and I am worried my landlord my not be renewing the lease. Is the landlord required to give at me least 30 days notice of their intent not to renew lease? If not 30 days then what in minimum notice that must be given (that lease will not be renewed)?
  • I am recently divorced, and I got the house. He has personal stuff still here and I cannot get him to get it out of here. There is a lot of stuff and most too heavy for me to move. I've asked him several times to move it, even sent him letters that he had to sign for. Now he won't even answer his phone so I can pin him down on a date when he can have it done. It's his way of still trying to control my life and all I want is out and away from him. What options do I have to enforce this? It's been three months since the divorce and there was nothing on the decree that states a time limit .
  • My dad was killed by a drunk driver 2 years ago and I heard that I can get $5000
