QUESTIONS

  • I am working with a gentleman who is receiving Social Security Disability (SSD) payments. The SSD is his only income. He has almost half the of SSD check garnished for child support. Is there any way he can have this amount reduced? Who could he go to for assistance with this?
  • I recently rented a room for my wife and I from a couple in Phoenix. I paid a deposit and three months rent in advance totaling $1625. I received signed receipts. Before moving in the landlord changed our original agreement and asked for a separate fee for utilities. We had agreed on a monthly rent charge that would include utilities.I informed the landlord that if he could not adhere to our agreement I would remove my property and wanted a refund. After considerable difficulty I was allowed to do so but a refund has been refused. A lease was also refused. I never stayed in the home even once.
  • Isn't it illegal for a bank to charge a recurring fee for an overdraft? I am now facing court and legal fees if I am not able to pay the collection agency a lump sum of money or $100 payments toward the full debt with interest accumulating at 18% every day. Is this legal?
  • I was given exclusive use of our residence in my OOP. Is my husband still required to pay his half of the rent even though he was required to leave the residence?
  • I listed my granddaughter as 18 month old. No fence or gate was around the pool from back doors of home, as required by permit under AZ Law. The lessor had a real estate agent as did we. The lease was broken, accepted by the lessor. The lessor does not want to refund $3,900.00 security deposit. The exterior fence from driveway also was not self closing either and we have pictures of both. Did the lessor break the AZ law by entering into a legal contract and not have a Permitted, Inspected fence and self closing gate around the pool, Knowing an 18 month old be occupying the leased home?
  • My mother in law is not capable of making decisions for herself anymore how to I get gardianship
  • My landlord put a notice to pay rent or quit on my door for harrassment because I questioned her about property (SRP electricity pre-paid box) belonging to my mother and also because I talked to her about trying to make my mother pay rent for an apartment she vacated two months prior with the landlords consent. The landlord let my brother take over the apartment and didn't pay. What can I do I am going to refuse to move
  • I live in a condo and I rent from a management company. I was given a visitors pass for when I would have guests over. Recently there has been parking violations on my fiance's car and said it will be towed. I have nothing in my rental lease that states that I can not let guests park at my place of residence. would this warrant me to break my lease and not lose my deposit? I can not have any guests? or the car will be towed?
  • When I rented the apt I'm living in now, there was no actual walkthru, where damages are noted, etc. I did take pictures before I spent a night there, will these hold up in court?
  • My son recieved certified letter for court on eviction, but he isn't leasee ,can he or everyone evicted from the apartment.
