QUESTIONS

  • I built a room in the backyard of my grandfathers home. I paid for everything myself . My grandfather pointed to a space in back where I could build me a room for me and my two kids. Recently my grandfather has became really sick and the ownership of the home has changed hands which are my uncle and aunt, what are my rights and is my room still mines? When my grandfather was ok and well nobody had a problem with anything but now that he is ill everyone wants to take over my back room and keep me away
  • I am renting to own my house, I have lived here for 20 years. I have a problem with my air conditioning unit and other problems with the house. Is it the Landlord's duty to fix the problems or is it mine. I do not own the property yet.
  • Can my landlord evict me if my electricity is out due to non-payment.? In the lease it states that water and trash is included and electric and gas is the tenants responsibility. Our electric has been off for 5 days but we've payed the bill and will be back on tomorrow morning. Can my landlord give us a notice of immediate termination ?
  • I was convicted in AZ for "ASSAULT INTENT/ RECKLESS/ INJURE" in 2009. I understand that I cannot get this expunged if it involves the infliction of serious physical injury, but how or who determines what is a "serious physical injury"? There was no serious physical injury but there was contact.
  • I am a legal, permanent resident of the United States, not a citizen of the United States. I want to change my first name. Can I do this here? If so, how can I change it on my documentation of legal status and residence here?
  • I stay at an rv park that charges a flat rate for daily space, weekly spaces and monthly spaces. I have no lease. I wasn't given any paperwork or rules of any sort when I parked my fifth wheel. All I was told was their is a flat monthly rate 223.00 and electric is a pay as you use type of deal. Their is no paperwork what so ever. The prices are flate rates for the however long your staying is and it's seriously posted on a sign outside the office. What are my rights and can they evict me and charge me late fees because I haven't been able to pay for this month yet due to this pandemic?
  • I signed a year lease this past Aug, but I'm having to leave the state to enter a substance abuse treatment center. Can I break my lease by invoking the American Disability Act?
  • Is ARS 28-662A enforceable on private property (in a parking lot)?
  • If demed disabled, do you still pay child support?
  • Our landlord informed us this morning that her realtor lost his license and asked that my husband put in writing that we'll move out asap. She seems a little off and the whole process to get into this home was janky to begin with, it wasn't done properly to say the least. But my question is does she have the right to kick us out before our lease is up? We're never late on rent and we have had 0 issues. Now we're forced into this mess because of the ''family friend'' she had hired as her realtor... is any of this legal?
