QUESTIONS

  • I have a superior court mailing that states your civil right have been restored. Does this mean I can vote,purchase weapon etc.?
  • I have rented a room in my home to a lady and her 7 cat and 2 rabbits for 4 years. It started as a "to help someone out" situation to she is a hoarder and does not want to move. I understand I can take legal action to force her to move but what about the animals. I can not take care of them and I am afraid she will just leave them here. Can I force her to take her animal with her? Thank you.
  • Must my tenants be present when I conduct the move-out walk-thru even if I feel threatened by them? They are bigger than I and our last conversation consisted of them yelling, using foul language towards me, hanging up, calling me back to continue to be verbally abusive and I heard slamming in the background.
  • How do I serve my child's Father court papers if he is missing?
  • I have gotten a woman pregnant and I want to be involved in the child's life but not be involved with her. She is now threatening to move out of state and not let me be involved. Do I have any legal recourse at this point to make sure that my rights as a father are protected?
  • How long does my landlord have to make a repair that affects the security of my building, such as a broken door that allows people who don’t live here to enter a building that they advertise as secure? If they do not make that repair in that time frame, do I have the right to withhold rent?
  • My boyfriend and I and out 8 year old son are currently renting a house from my boyfriends grandmother. We moved in to the house in may. There was never a written rental agreement but we are paying her cash every month for rent. We have all the utilities in our name, and our mail comes here. Long story short she came to our house, stole our dog and we had her arrested. She is now threatening to evict us (we are looking to move anyways now) but wants us out asap. We have been here been in the house 8 months. Would she have to go through the courts for eviction?
  • There was a fire in an apartment above me 5 weeks ago. There is no work being done yet. Can I get out of my lease without any penalties?
  • Can I take a leave of absence for a school year (I'm a teacher) to take care of my father according to FMLA?
  • I received a letter from the HOA and the property management company that the window screens need to be replaced or repaired. The screens are in the same condition as move in, less sun damage. My lease does not specify that they are my responsibility. Please advise.
