QUESTIONS

  • I signed a lease, gave them $2,500...received keys 4/1/15. Did the walk thru soon after picked upupkeys. the townhouse is filthy. smells sour, mold, cat urine, cigarette smoke. It looks as if previous tenents just movd out the day before. Also has cracked window window andbroken sliding door. What can we do
  • Can I stay longer in a foreclosure property? I am the tenant . The bank is the owner now. I am willing to pay for the extra time until I buy the house, but i need more time, and I dont want to leave. I need four more months. Do I have any rights to stay the extra time?
  • I have joint legal and physical custody of my daughter (12). The access schedule we agreed to equals exactly 50/50 physical custody. Because of my work schedule (2:30-11:00pm M-F), my current wife and family members pick my daughter up from school and care for her in the evenings during the week. My question is, would a judge penalize me for not being the one physically with her during those times when figuring child support?
  • The landlord recently handed out notices to everyone that they owe tax on their January rent and the rent tax has increased 2%. There was no notification of the increase and they are also taxing the tax amount stated in the lease. Example: My rent is $550 + $10tax, I now owe $1.10 for January and $1.10 every month there after. I know the amounts are low but in principal. Can they do this and try an evicition over it?
  • my apartment complex is refusing to contact anyone other than their own complex repair people to fix our AC. we have been without working AC for OVER a week.. •1) can we withhold rent until this issue is resolved? •2) if so, who do we give our rent payments to in the mean time? •3) how long do they have to get the issue resolved after the 5 days from giving them written notice of the issue? thank you!
  • My house foreclosed and was sold at auction on 4/4. On 4/5 I spoke with the new owner and he said he would give me until 4/12 to vacate. Today 4/9 I recieved a Forcible Detainer request form in the mail. DO I need to be out by today?
  • My roommate moved her stuff out while I was at work. I want to get her off the lease but she refuses to sign the paper. How do I remove her without going to court?
  • I've been renting from the same landlord for three years and suddenly he foreclosed. Is it possible for his name not to show anywhere on the foreclosure papers?
  • I have posted a 5 day notice but do not know which court to go to for eviction. Property is located in Phoenix. Time is crucial because, in addition to nonpayment of rent, property is in very unsafe condition.
  • I was considering a move from Texas to Show Low AZ. I put a $1000 deposit and paid $445 lot fee. When I returned home in TX. I realized that downsizing from a 2300sqft home to a 900sqft trailer was not doable for me at this time. After 2 days from signing the agreement, I gave my formal written notice that I had changed my mind. Now the owner will not refund my money. What can I do. $1400 dollars is quite an amount to keep for just because. I was told they could have shown the trailer 2 times during that time, however the unit was not even ready for someone to move in.
