QUESTIONS

  • I'm trying to help my mom get food stamps and cash assistance. She is age 56 and gets 480 dollars a month for retirement benefits. However; she has no car and doesn't work. She lives in a trailer. Her bills cost more than what she earns each month. So, I pay the remainder for her. My question is; does she qualify for food stamps and cash assistance without having to work a job at this point? She has no GED and has raised 8 kids and is now divorced. She gets half of her ex husbands retirement, and that's it. I would appreciate any help? I sent in her paperwork by fax.
  • It states in my lease that the tenant, "In the event of 'the tenants' failure to give notice of 'the tenants' intention to terminate, 'the tenant' shall be liable for rent for another 30 day period. According to the apartment complex, this means that they can charge rent for an entire month after the lease expires. Is this truly legal?
  • I am a property/apartment owner I recently had my onsite property manager show a vacant apt. to some interested people shortly after they people looked at the apt they without any application or lease somehow moved thier belongings into the apt have paid no money no lease signing etc. and are participating in criminal behavior etc. but are refusing to leave the apt I live out of state but property manager has on several occasions tried to contact these people telling them to leave etc. but they so far refuse what do I do to get these people out of this apartment?
  • Summary: My landlord sent me a notice to vacate from the residence using a text message. Is a text message a legally binding notice to vacate? Full: I have been a tenant for 4 years at the residence. My lease expired July 13, 2018. We did not renew the lease this year, so I've been paying month-to-month. I got a new out of state job and scheduled the movers for July 13. She suddenly sent me a text message on May 30 to vacate by July 1. She did not give me notice that she was looking for a new tenant. I have never been late or delinquent on rent payment. What are my legal options?
  • We re moving out of our rented home and disagreeing with our landlord over wether or not some of the non permanent add ons are "his".
