QUESTIONS

  • If I have evicted our tenant for non payment and have a judgment against our tenants for non payment of rent can I deduct the amount of the judgment from the security deposit?
  • My lease states that 2 adults are allowed to leave in the premises. I had a friend stay with me and my landlord forced me to kicked them out. He said that having somebody else stay with me without his approval meant I broke the lease and he could evict me. I have always paid rent on time and he is enforcing rules with me that he is not enforcing with the other tenants. I can't afford a lawyer and I fell harassed. What are my options?
  • How do I get proction for my grandchilden when my son girl freind can provide a home for them. Son is in jail. we have guardianship of there first child do to drug abuse by monther. She is now living with a cousin and her family along with her sister and there family in one home.
  • How long do family members need to wait to be allowed copies of a Will? Do family members get notices?
  • I live at XXXX apartments and since Friday before 5 pm the apartment building I live in doesn't have running hot water and maintenance to us to wait until monday then Saturday morning we called back they said corporate was working on it and still no hot water and from my understanding they have 24 hours to fix this problem. Most of the tents are essential workers that work weekends and holidays and need to shower for work for example I work at a hospital I need to shower before and after because I dont want to expose my family and baby we pay rent even when theres a crisis world wide.
  • We have Jount Custody, with I being Primary. His parenting time is every other weekend. He is moving 175 miles away soon, do I have to meet him halfway without going to court first? I do not have reliable transportation due to him being $10,0000 behind in Child support. Would I be in contempt or would he need to get a court date to first change the parenting time to include meeting half way? Currently he is to pick them up at school and drop them back off at school, as we do not get along. Does that remain in effect till legally changed?
  • I signed a month to month lease, but my landlord is now claiming that she made a "clerical error" and meant for the written agreement to be a year lease. She is not honoring my 30 day notice that I gave her in writing and claims I can not move out in a month. Can I pay my final month's rent and move out without penalty, and how can I ensure that she returns my deposit without taking her to court?
  • I live in an apartment complex that is slated to be sold to new owners at the end of this month. The new owners are planning major repairs and upgrades, resulting in a major rent increase. My current lease is for another six months. I cannot afford higher rent, nor coming up with first/last/deposit etc quickly for a new place. What are my rights? Do the new owners have to "buy" out my current lease?
  • I worked 12 hours per week and was laid off - am I eligible for unemployment?
  • If your name has legally been removed from the childs birth do you still have to pay child support
