I have been trying to get on the section specifically for Cochise County and the page always comes up that the "page has been removed...etc" Would very much like to have it put back ASAP.

This is a great site--i refer to it for information for a newsletter for low-income seniors in a HUD-subsidized apartment building. We have a growing number of Hispanic residents--is it possible to have the site in Spanish also?
QUESTIONS
-

My 85 year old mother passed away suddenly on May 25. 2013. She had a lease and a security deposit of $200.00. The apartment complex has suddenly (after 3 months of attempting to get it returned after perfect walk through results) decided that I am not able to get any security deposit. Also, refuse to return my extra monies paid to stay for 14 days to remove my mother's items. I was assured that all of the money would be returned to me but now that they have a new owner, they state that they will not return any of the money that they agreed to return to me. AZ law states that they were to notify me within 14 days if any problems with refund with her security deposit or they have to pay double the amount back. Is this applicable in this case? I have continuously attempted to contact them regarding this issue and I finally got a bunch of passing the blame answers and this is three months late.

how many months do one has to wait to reapply for ALTCS, if you have been denied and you are now in Hospice, awaiting salvation. Also, does the Nursing Home Care Reform Act of 1987 is still effective and can a skilled nursing facility force a relative or family member to take you in if all your Medicaid/Medicare benefit days have been exhausted and the facility corporate office has threaten to issue a 30 day notice to evict? Thanks

Ineed to find a lawyer who is willing to take my "Age Discrimination" case. I was working for Arizona Department of Transportation since September of 2006 until I was terminated on April 15, 2011. I was doing a great job and performing well and was only 3 years away from full retirement. I believe I was let go on the basis of age. They want to dperive me of full retirement. P.S. I need a lawyer who is able and willing to fight for my case.

When completing the living will, does this have to be recorded in the county clerks office in order for it to stand? thanks
