QUESTIONS

  • After eviction judgement is served, how many days must the landlord keep tenants personal effects in storage? when can the landlord dispose of the said tenants belongings?
  • Under Phoenix fire code, what is my landlord required to provide in terms of fire prevention? Is a smoke detector required in every apartment?
  • My year long lease expires July 31. I received my lease renewal letter on July 22 (letter dated July 18) advising me that the monthly rental amount will increase by $75 effective August 1! How much notice must be given for such a large (or any) increase and when would the increase go into effect?
  • I have not received child support for the last three months. The Obligor told me he had gotten a new job. What actions can I take to ensure the child support is being paid?
  • HOW DO I GO ABOUT RESOLVING ACTIVE WARRANTS BUT NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE ISSUED FOR? I LIVE IN PIMA COUNTY BUT THE WARRANTS ARE ISSUED OUT OF MOHAVE COUNTY.
  • How do I request a name change for my minor son?
  • Is it legal for a landlord to put into our lease a statement that says "If for any reason during the duration of this lease agreement the relationship between Lessor and Lessee is soured, Landlord reserves the right to serve a 30 day written notice to vacate." Isn't this unconscionable? And shouldn't any ability to break a contract be fair to both parties?
  • Is there specific paper I need to move out of state after a divorce where I have received sole custody of the children
  • I am currently going through a divorce, where there is no custody established, and am pregnant. I have been put on strict bedrest. I am trying to move to Nevada where I will have more help from my older children's father and be able to be on bedrest like I'm supposed to. Would I be able to file a petition for relocation with a minor, and temporarily move before the 60 days, without getting in trouble for it. And will it effect how they decide custody. Also, I have a PO against the other parent, and there has been domestic violence toward me and the children during our marriage.
  • I started my lease in April of 2008. It expired in April of 2009. It's now December of 2010, I have given a 30 day notice to vacate. Am I responsible for nonpayment of rent within the last 3 months even if I haven't had a valid lease in over a year?
