QUESTIONS

  • HI, I am deaf, and I am living in an apartment. Do we have the right to tell the Landlord not to let anyone come in without our permission cause they walk in when i shower or standing in kitchen with my boxers on, or sleeping... they got no right to come in without calling or texting me if i am home or not. Do i have the right tell them NO entrance? I was raped by a maintenance when i was in my 20’s so i do not like anyone coming in while i am sleeping or showering or standing in kitchen in my boxers. This maintenance just opened the door and i freaked out.

  • I was late on October rent and the owners agreed to give me extra time to pay, until they learned I was in a bad car accident last week. Now they are saying to pay by tomorrow or they will proceed with an eviction. I am scared to death. My back is broken. The accident was the other drivers fault and I already have a lawyer working on it. Can I get a protective order to grant me extra time to pay rent?
  • I need to prepare a writ for the Superior court of Maricopa county. I have a judgment and want the sheriff to go out and seize something. The court keeps sending my packet back to me saying I don't have this or I need that but do not explain how to do it. Very frustrating. The current reject says "....the writ you are submitting to get issued to the Superior Court is the paperwork for a Justice Court". Searched for hours and cannot find any such application for Superior Court on a writ.
  • I filed a motion for relief of judgement regarding the acknowledgement of paternity(after the 60 day period) and the judge said I need a proper petition filed before the court can take action. what petition do I need? I have searched through forms and cannot find the correct petition to file the motion under.

I do not want to take the hit for his damage to my property..
  • I was very ill last year and let my Aunt and grandmother take my children to Idaho. While my children were there they filed a motion of abuse with the state of Idaho and I may possibly lose my girls. I have been serve with quite a bit of paperwork from the courts and don't knowhow to fill it out. I only make $7 an hour and don't have the money to get an attorney. I don't want to lose my girls and need some help to answer these letters from the courts of Idaho.

  • 2 of the burners on my stove have gone out. I notified management who is just going to replace it instead of repairing it. They sent someone to remove the stove on Thursday 9/24/15. It is now Saturday 9/26/15 and we have no stove. The vendor says it will be Tuesday 9/29/15 before we have a stove. Can i turn in receipts for food expenses while we are without a stove? Rent is due on 10/1/15 and I'd like to subtract a reasonable amount from my rent for these expenses since I can't cook at home.
