QUESTIONS

  • Is it possible to get a free or low income assisted private attorney for a criminal matter (class 1 mist.)in Maricopa County before a court appointed attorney?
  • I am a property/apartment owner I recently had my onsite property manager show a vacant apt. to some interested people shortly after they people looked at the apt they without any application or lease somehow moved thier belongings into the apt have paid no money no lease signing etc. and are participating in criminal behavior etc. but are refusing to leave the apt I live out of state but property manager has on several occasions tried to contact these people telling them to leave etc. but they so far refuse what do I do to get these people out of this apartment?
  • I purchased a home a couple of years ago and I want to register a Home Stead declaration, as I spoke to the Escrow company they mentioned that I did not have to do the declaration any more, that I was covered under the home stead decl. automaticaly, is that true?
  • I Sublet a room in the house I live in and the Roommate stopped paying rent. December 1st will be 3 months not paid. There is NO lease. The agreement was pay weekly and utilities included.
  • after an electrical fire, can the landlord be taken to civil court for not maintaining the property.
  • I am a condo owner, I live in the unit and rent out my 2nd bedroom to someone. We have a lease, and we have also been working under the agreement that we switch off paying for things that we share, for example paper towels, light bulbs in the common areas, etc. However, she is now refusing to purchase a new furnace filter, saying that is a 'maintenance item' and is my responsibility. I think this falls under the 'damages due to negligence' clause in the lease. I plan to take the cost of the filters out of her last month's rent and her lease-end date be moved up accordingly. Is that legal?
  • If you have 50/50 custody and your ex takes your child to Mexico without permission, what paper can you file to prevent this from happening again?
  • If I signed a lease and the landlord did not disclose important information about the house being in foreclosure and he's filed bankruptcy what are my options?
  • Me and my ex have a custody agreement but yet on my legal days she will not allow me to have him. How can she do that, and what are my rights? I do not feel I should have to pay child support if I am not being given my court ordered time. I also was wondering who is responsible for travel payment, because she moved out of state and will not pay to fly him to me for my legal days, she says I need to either pay to fly him out here or I can drive to Northern Arizona to get him if I want him on my legal days, can she do that?
  • For some one on food stamps; is a gift card to Walmart or Toys R Us considered income? Should someone report this type of gift as income?
