QUESTIONS

  • The tenants next door to me Have moved seven additional people into the house for a total number of six adults and six children living in a three bedroom home. Are three occupancy limitations?
  • I am concerned that my landlord did not follow the law in the Landlord Tenant Act (section 33-1321) concerning Landlord Obligations for security deposits. The law says “Within 14 days after termination of tenancy…the tenant shall be provided an itemized list of all deductions…” I received an itemized list of repairs within 14 days but there were no dollar amounts showing what would be deducted from my deposit. 54 days later, they provided an itemized list with deductions. The law does not say only provide an itemized list of repairs. The law says provide an itemized list of repairs WITH deductions. Since they did not provide the dollar amount of deductions within 14 days, did they violate the law? If yes, what do I do?
  • I'm 19 years old and I have full custody of my 5 year old daughter, I was planning of moving out to a different state with my boyfriend. My mother is threatening me saying she wants to take my daughter away from me, can she do that?
  • My Father In-law Passed away and I am named as executor in his will. He had no life insurance and only his home which is still under mortgage. Do I need to file an informal probate for his will or due to the small size of his estate it is not required?
  • I have a baby together w my girlfriend. I am the father, my name is on BC and my 7 mo old daughter has my last name. Girlfriend left with my daughter, staying at her grandmother's who has told me I'm not a good enough provider to father my little girl. What are my rights? I want to raise my daughter.
  • I am a single mother(one child) and living on a Teacher's salary. I have a mortgage and a considerable amount of credit debt, plus student loans. I can make my house payment but am struggling to make any of the credit payments. Question is: Can I file Bankruptcy ( ch7) and keep my house. None of the debt was secured with my home.
  • I was given a 5-day notice hand delivered by the landlord .. today 2/18/2015... Yet on the notice it is dated 2/5/15 and for me to pay rent in full by 2/11/2015.. is this legal to past date the notice even though I was just given the notice @5:16PM on 2/18/2015
  • I signed a lease almost a month ago for an apartment that I have not been able to see. I keep emailing to see when one would be available, and they keep telling me that none are available. I've seen a lot of reviews for this complex noting that there is a huge roach infestation. I'm afraid that they are hiding this from me and that's why I haven't been able to be allowed in to see a model. I'm not scheduled to move for another 3 weeks. Can I back out of my lease?
  • If the a/c unit goes out in your apartment can you deduct the cost of a hotel room from your rent
  • Does being an ex felon prevent me from changing my name?
