QUESTIONS

  • My ex stole my dog. I adopted her while we were dating, her adoption paperwork is in my name ONLY. We have since broken up, and he took her without my permission and will not return her. One cop said it's theft of personal property, but suggested trying to deal with it directly with my ex first, then follow up if she wasn't returned. I followed up and the next cop I talked to said it's not theft of personal property because I adopted her while in the relationship with my ex, and the adoption paper doesn't matter even if my ex and I were never married so it's not a criminal issue. Is this true?
  • If I authorized someone to use my car, and it was never returned can it be reported stolen?
  • I purchased a new 2017 mobile home 4 months ago and it was placed on a mobile park lot. We moved in May 2017 as three weeks ago we have discovered the lot has termite. Termites eating palm trees near our new home and it building a nest along the back fence where my neighbor has a old wooden shed. We reported it to the land property owner, they sent out an pest control company who claimed there was no signs of termites but we have picture of the termite damage. We are afraid that termite may get to our house if not already. What can we do? Should there have been a termite inspection? Thx

  • My home went to foreclosure. The amount owed was $368,000 ,the bank set the opening bid at $302,000, The home sold for $371,000. Should the excess funds be the difference between $371,000 and $368,000 or between $371,000 and $302,000. Thx
  • We received info about renewing our lease, at a property where we have lived for almost 1 year. When we moved in, we noticed the irrigation system needed repairing, but the property mgmt. company said the landlord would not repair it, and to use an above ground sprinkler, which we did. One of the conditions on the option to renew states: "The tenant shall maintain the landscape irrigation system, including the automatic timer, in good working condition and make any needed repairs at their sole expense." Isn't this forcing us to repair the irrigation system was never worked right? Ideas?
