QUESTIONS

  • To what extent is the landlord responsible for safety ? (Vehicle vandalized 5x I own to old paid off cars Yr,'00), In writing property claims "certified crime free property", "Courtesy patrol". 1st. Time belongings were taken, 2. Stereo, 3. Plates, key entry damaged, 4. Glass broken, 5. Front passenger wheel stolen nuts and all. ??! They claim they're just not responsible....
  • If I'm on my son's birth certificate, can my sons mother hold him away from me, and not allow me to see him for no reason?
  • In the city of Phoenix Arizona they are allowed to charge a 2% tax fee on rent. My apartment complex charges 2.3% on every single charge on the bill. My rent is $757 and I pay $17.41 for taxes just on my rent alone. My mailbox is on site but I have to drive 20 minutes and pay $40 to pick up my mailbox key! Even though it's onsite. It's not a P.O Box. They also charge a $21 fee to pay my rent online but they refuse to let us pay any other way than online. When asked if the 2.3% tax is included in property tax the employee agreed it was. Is this legal to keep charging all these fees w/ high tax?
  • If a tenant only gives one week notice of early termination of the lease, is the landlord obligated to give back the full security deposit? It is stated in the lease that Any notice to terminate this tenancy must comply with the applicable legislation of the State of Arizona."
  • Is it considered abandonment of my children if I moved out of the home and moved maybe 4 blocks away? I left my husband but am still with my kids everyday.
  • If an attorney tells you not to contact someone, is that legally binding?
  • Can I request to get custody of my daughter through the court if 1. her mother cannot support her, she doesn't have a job. Her mother is also not following the court orders regarding visitation.
  • I am a landlord and I have already given my tenant a notice to vacate my property in 30 days. I had also asked her for permission to enter the property so that I can show it to the prospective renters. I had sent a letter regarding this 7 days in advance. To this her reply was that no matter what I cannot enter my own property. What are my options?
  • Our 16 year old son became aggressive after a shopping outing and began beating up my wife taking her to the ground. We are wondering what legal options we have since the answer we are getting from all agencies is that we just have to deal with it and work it out ourselves. We are looking for help of any kind including juvenile detention or detainment in a health facility. I am afraid to leave the house if our son is there and afraid of what he might do in the middle of the night since he has uttered death threats.
  • I have a 3 year old son and his father and i are separated for a year and 5 months. I also have a domestic abuse protection order against my son's father, my question is.. can I apply for child support with no visitation? and also do I still have to face him in court for child support?
