QUESTIONS

  • I am late on the rent I have no rental agreement with them. electric is included in the rent. he has shut off my power in his main breaker box and locked it he also came in while I was away and changed the locks
  • 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 have(had) a roommate who Moved out when she lost her job. She hasn't paid rent for 2 months but she left all her belongings here. We've been in contact since she left mid august about picking up her thinggs and she keeps giving me the run around. Just wondering how long do I have to wait to get rid of her belongings?
  • Wife left three years ago. No legal separation or divorce. We verbally agreed on money and custody. I bought her out of joint house and own it myself. She now demands money for medical for son. I give her willingly 120 a month. She wants more. Can she sue me?
  • I’m a veteran and my wife is 40 weeks pregnant and we are currently being evicted due to having pet waste on the patio. We would clean our patio daily. Any laws or rights that can protect us to avoid this eviction?
  • I am having my first baby in 4 weeks. I would like to have my baby receive my boyfriends last name and have him listed as the father but i am concerned. If I do this will he be able to take the baby and not give her back ? Should i have some sort of custody arrangements in place before i put his name on the birth certificate? I am worried. Please give me some advice. Thank you.
  • I am 21 years old and a new mother to my 4 month old son. My fiance has been there for my son since he was still in my tummy. She is his second primary mother and he has no father. I am the only one on the birth certificate as of right now. How do I go about putting my fiance on his birth certificate since we are both his mothers?
  • A California court awarded me full legal and physical custody of my daughter after her father hit her. He has been convicted of domestic violence, drug and misc criminal charges. He is supposedly "clean" now and court ordered that he can call my daughter once per week. This is the extent of their relationship. I currently live in Arizona and want to be sure that if something were to happen to me, my sister would have guardianship. My daughter is now 13, does not want to live with him and I strongly believe it is not in her best interest to live with him. She has very close relationship with my sister and my sister would provide stability. Can I "transfer" my custodial rights to my sister and direct that custody not go to my ex or his family in a will?
  • 2 weeks after our final walk through with our landlord confirming the condo was in perfect condition, the landlord contacted me and said that the day after the walk through, she sensed a smell of cigarette smoke in the condo and had to have some treatment done and had to hold new tenants back for 3 days and that she was going to withdraw these charges from our security deposit. Noone ever smoked in the condo located in Flagstaff with no A/C unit and windows were always open. There are wildfires in the area that we have no control of. This cannot be legal and I am willing to go to court!
  • My son is 17 and in high school with twins on the way. What is his finacial obligation while in school? Can the mother come after my husband and I for child support? The mother is of legal age and out of school, so do the courts take that into consideration?
