  • My husband and I recently had $40,000 stolen out of his 401K due to identity theft. The company is saying they are not responsible since the party had access to our SS# and pin#. Can they do this? We gave them a LOT of pertinetn information in order to go after the person but they said there is nothing they can do? They said we'd have to hire our own lawyer. Who do we contact???
  • if an ex-spouse passed away and the court order stated that they were to receive 50% of the other spouses retirement. Does that make the order null and void? or does the 50% go into an estate?
  • My neighbors water heater recently needed to be replaced. The property manager was notified but the building maintenance man was out sick. It took over a week to replace the unit and complete repairs. During the time of the unit being damaged, and up to it's replacement, the cost of electricity used to power it went through the roof. Mt neighbor's electric bill overages during the two month period of the unit failing to work properly and then breaking down beyond repair, totalled $415.66. Is it the landlord's responsibility to reimburse the tenant for the cost of the electrical overages?
  • 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?
  • If your apartment floods due to the negligence of another apartment owner and you are required to move into a model unit temporarily, is rent still owed? I have read that rent for that current month is not but what if it takes longer than 30 days to fix the apartment?
