QUESTIONS

  • Landlord is telling us to vacate the premise so he may renovate. We have lived in these apartments for 5 yrs almost and 3 yrs without a lease my son and I are on SSI and we have no resources or family to help move we dont drive either can he make us leave without having to relocate us
  • I purchased a new 2017 mobile home 4 months ago and it was placed on a mobile park lot. We moved in May 2017 as three weeks ago we have discovered the lot has termite. Termites eating palm trees near our new home and it building a nest along the back fence where my neighbor has a old wooden shed. We reported it to the land property owner, they sent out an pest control company who claimed there was no signs of termites but we have picture of the termite damage. We are afraid that termite may get to our house if not already. What can we do? Should there have been a termite inspection? Thx
  • My landlord has not returned my security deposit. Next Monday will be 14 business days (AZ law) She is being shady and I have a feeling she has no intention of giving it back or my prorated rent for that matter. (It was a month to month lease but right after I gave my 30 days she found a new tenant so she owes me for 90% of the month as well) In her lease contract she wrote that she has 30 days to return deposit, however that goes against the state law. Will I have to wait 30 days or does State Law trump a lease contract?
  • What are HUD's rules regarding mold in an apartment and that I am not the one who cause the mold. I am not being told the truth by anyone. I need to know how to properly handle this.

  • I received five day notice for non-payment of rent. I am in process of seeking emergency assistance. Can I be evicted if I am only able to pay the rent but not late fees?
  • If a child is emancipated in another state and that state is another age. then moves to AZ is the child considered emancipated in AZ also ?
