QUESTIONS

  • I let a friend move in with a verbal agreement that she would pay rent when she got a job - it has been a year and no job and no rent. Do I still need to go to court to evict her if she has never paid anything?
  • Our landlord gave us 1.5 hours to complete the move in forms. Even though we asked for more time by leaving the form with us. She demanded that she had to be there to compete it with us but that she had an appointment and both parties were on a time frame. I want to know how much time Arizona gives a tenant for a move in form. Did we have the right to request more time and the right is she couldn't be there to complete it on our own?
  • Ny childs father's name is not on the birth certificate, can he still file for custody
  • Theres no lease and landlord file eviction with courts and only my roommates name was on the eviction does it apply to me to
  • Does any one answer the questions posted. Have asked a question in 3 diff. categories since June and still no reply.
  • My wife has been in prison for the past 10 months, and was just released last month. I have been raising our 16 month old daughter on my own since Nov. 2013. I need to leave my wife, but refuse to leave my baby with someone she views as a stranger. Can I take her and leave without going to jail while I start filing for divorce?
  • i had recently got behind on rent owner agreef payment plan but when i paid rent in the amount of 1300.00 two days larer i sent email only telling of issues at home he has filed eviction imm 77 and dont know what to do
  • I put my Fathers name on the Deed to my house in hopes of refinance. This fell through for many reasons. I am now pending a foreclosure. Will he be affected in any way with his name on the deed??
  • We are renting an apartment unit in Flagstaff for my daughter who attends NAU. The tenant above has flooded our unit 3 times in the last year because of connecting an illegal bidet. A couple weeks ago the unit flooded for the 4th time because of the sprinkler system. With the most current flood we asked for some diminution since one of the rooms and the laundry was unusable and asked for utility compensation because of the electricity the fans were using. The company gave $25 towards water but will not give any credit towards the rent. What can we d?
  • My teenage daughter and I were both arrest for domestic violence and both of us were prosecuted. Same case yet we were both identified as defendants which very effectively eliminated any accountability especially by the courts to address "Victim's Rights" at all. The words "dominate aggressor" does not exist , at least not in the statues in AZ. So my question is: How do the courts justify this? Is this ethical? Every justification so far has been absolutely absurd. Have you thought this through at all? Obviously: no victim, double fees, more income, more DV programs as Dual arrests increase
