QUESTIONS

  • I have sole custody of my 10 year old daughter. My child’s mother wants to do visitation with my daughter and I want to know what are the rules and regulations on the visits. For example: I’ve gave my daughter to her mother for visitation for a month and she doesn’t bring her back to me. What should I do and what are the risks?
  • My landlord added a line in my lease that he can charge me for maintenance calls. I believed this to be for damage to the property that was our fault. After moving in we noticed a huge leek under the sink that was flooding onto the floor He charged us $75 for reporting the problem to him Then there was no hot water in the upstairs bathroom. Again he charged me $75. Is this legal? Isn’t it the landlords responsibility to maintain good plumbing? Do I really have to pay for him to repair someone else’s house?
  • My husband died and now his daughter wants the house I have lived in for years can she have me evicted.
  • Can a landlord ask for, 1st and last months rent along with a security deposit?

  • I am on section 8, I rent from a real estate agency. I am being evicted for not paying my water bill. The realtor makes me share the water bill with my neighbor, and divides it in half for us to pay. I have not been able to pay for it, I have two daughters and we struggle to pay the electric and other expenses. In the past he has allowed me to get caught up when i file for taxes. I pay it out of the earned income credit refund, this year he is not allowing me to do so. They are evicting me, I asked if i could pay it when i get my tax refund, he said no. Is it legal to charge me half of H2o?
