QUESTIONS

  • My husband and I are renting a mobile home space. The mobile home mortgage lien holder is telling us we have to vacate if the mortgage is not paid. The purchaser of the mortgage is past due. We have no responsibility over the mortgage only the space rental. How are we able to get out of the rental space contract if we have to vacate under these circumstances? The purchaser is not in communication with the lien holder and has not made any response. We have been in good credit with the space rental/landowner payments to date.
  • I live in an apartment complex with utilities includedthe electric has gone off twice this morning and a few other times this past week. Is this a violation of the lease if it keeps happening?
  • Is it the managers job to notice tenants if any kind of substance if being strayed around the premises. As a precautionary measure, specially those with younger kids?
  • Employer finds any reason to down grade your work to highlight on younger coworkers. No matter how you try to succeed it is not possible as new college graduates are sought.
  • I recently divorced, and due to an error the request to restore my maiden name was not checked on the decree. I currently live out of state for graduate school, though I still hold an AZ driver's license and remain registered as a resident in Pima County. Since I am out of state, how do I now go about getting my name restored?
  • How do I add my father to my birth certificate. My mother was not married at the time of my birth; nor has she married since.
  • How can I prove child abandonment from my baby’s father in order to get sole custody? He does not help out in any way financially or physical care of the child, does not even ask about him so how would I go about proving that?
  • I am the owner of a rental property and am under contract with a tenant through 2/29/16. Circumstances have arisen which are going to require me to sell the home within the next few months. It appears as though there is no early termination agreement in the lease. Can I terminate with ample notice to the tenant?
  • My wife and I are currently going through a divorce. She opened a separate checking account before I filed but transferred her check to her new account afterwards and didn’t inform me about it until payday because we both get paid the same week. I need to know if she’s in violation of a court order because it was my understanding that you cannot hide funds, get loans etc. until the divorce is final??
  • Is it legal for my landlord to issue me a five day notice then take my keys on the fifth day, a day I have a email proving I had a work related test to take which I missed , take my keys and tell me to make an appointment with him to get my things
