QUESTIONS

  • We have been married for 23 years. My husbands last surviving parent recently passed away leaving my husband some property and money. If I file for divorce is that inheritance considered community property?
  • When is it NOT LEGAL to terminate an employee; i.e., what are the grounds for termination of employment that the law prohibits?
  • I put in a two week notice, but after the two weeks were up, my old job would not give me my PTO (paid time off) and I accumulated 80 hrs worth. What do I do and who can I talk to?
  • do we need to file a copy of our wills to probate? We only have a mobile home, car and personal belongings. Do we have to go thru an attorney to make up a will? Can we do it ourselves? thank you
  • 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?
  • After living at our current Apartment for well over a year I was offered employment by the Property Manager. I accepted the FT employment began working for the same company that I rent from. As an employee I received a discounted rent then what is stated on my current and active lease. After stating concerns regarding Fair Housing laws not being followed to the Property Manager I was terminated on a false accusation of theft. In my Letter of Termination it states I have less then 7 days to vacate the property as it is a benefit of employment. I lived here before I worked here can she do this?
  • My husband and I need to change executors of our will due to health issues of our first choice of executor and due to carelessness of second choice person. Our will was done in Northern Nevada in 2007, we moved to Arizona in December of 2017. We would like to know if we can get help with this issue due to our lo-income and my husband's health. Thank you.
  • I entered into a contract with a landscaper to do the landscaping in our new home but decided to break it as he was too expensive before he did any work or submitted the plan to the HOA. Am I liable to pay him 10% of the contracted amount per the contract ?
  • what is a sufficient temperature for heating in an apartment rental?
  • Last night the maintenance manger at my complex threatened to call the police if I didn't leave. I haven't been officially evicted yet, but he assumed I was since my family removed my belongings. Did he violate my rights under the "self help" measure?
