QUESTIONS

  • My husben passed away Aug. 21st. and hade a life insurance policy. It is in his daughters name. He was going to change it did not get a chance to. We have been married for less than a year. Do I have anyrights to this life insurance?
  • My husband and I were married in 2010, I didn't change my last name then, but now I want to. On my marriage license/certificate my name doesn't have my husbands last name. How can I change my last name to my husbands?
  • I am renting (with 3 months left on my lease) but am in the process of purchasing a home. I have requested to vacate the rental property early but will pay all remaining rent. Question: can the landlord legally require me to maintain the rental property (thru the lease date) even after I’ve paid all rent and vacated the property?
  • I stopped taking my medication and started drinking. I got into a minor alercation with a neighbor but I didn't hurt anyone. I went home, and how I I'm being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and threatening and intimidation. Can veterans court help me?
  • Do police officers need a reason to pull you over also can they search your car without a warrant
  • I am renting a room in a house. The landlord has not given me a signed copy of the lease/agreement. The landlord does not give me a rent receipt. I have been living here for about 8 months, sending/mailing the landlord checks regularly. Now, the landlord is asking me to give a detailed breakdown of rent/checks paid ad the associated dates in a specific format. I have done the best I can. The landlord has been sending me multiple messages regarding this over the weekend. Isn't this the landlords job, to keep track of the rent/checks paid. I feel the landlord treats me differently versus others.
  • I returned part of my tenants deposit because their dog wet on the carpet. We took pics and the carpet person said it was pet urine. My question is how long do I have to give the tenant to cash the check before I can stop payment? It has been over a month since they received it.
  • Does a parent have to provide child support for an illegal citizen? what are Arizona laws on this subject?
  • I own and live in a condo and have a roommate that lives with me. I've never had her sign a lease or anything like that. The situation has become very toxic and I need her out. What steps do I need to take?
  • My lease ended on a Sunday. I contacted landlord on Monday to set up walk-through. I was told I needed to return the keys prior to scheduling a walk-though. I returned the keys on Tues. Now Landlord is charging me 2 days additional rent for not returning the keys. Is he allowed to do this?
