QUESTIONS

  • The water inadvertently did not get disconnected on the day my lease ended so my landlord waited six days to put into their name and emptied/filled the swimming pool to the tune of $300. They will not respond to my emails. Do I have any recourse?
  • My son was was recently taken from his father by CPS because he was suspected of substance abuse and unable to provide proper care. I'm the mother and was incarcerated at the time. CPS placed my son temporarily with his fraternal grandmother. I was released on Saturday so i have to wait for mMonday to contact CPS. Is there any reason why my son shouldn't be home with me? Would I be hurting my case if I showed up and brought my son home myself?
  • Are landlords responsible for termites/ swarmers in apartment complex!? Lease states they cover “pest control but excluding “wood eating insects” and they are not responsible for any damage to my property because of them... !? That cant be legal. Its like living outside with all these flying termites.
  • I am the primary custodial parent of my daughter, have finished nursing school, and applying for jobs. I have a job in Colorado starting in September and it means relocating with my daughter. I do not want to keep her from her father, but I have no income other child support and want to earn my living. I do not want to continue to use state health care, nor food stamps. I have notified him of the move with a registered letter. What is my next and best course of action?
  • Do I qualify for FMLA if I am struggling with a child custody in another county and I need to be out of work for an extended time?
  • I'm trying to rent or sell my home which is currently rented. Tenant doesn't want anyone in the home & won't respond to my calls & emails. Do phone messages & emails fullfill the requirements for 2 day entry notice or must i post a notice on door? If so, would you tell me where in the AZ landlord tenant act is notice for entry? Also, for viewing purposes, if I have a viewing for a prospective tenant, may I give a 2-hour window then call the realtor so she can post that realtors may show the home during that 2-hr time too?
  • I was given a class 6 undesignated felony charge in 2008. Upon completion of my probation it was reduced to a misdemeanor by the court. Were my civil rights taken from me? Were they restored automatically when I completed probation? Can I own a firearm?
  • Does Az require a Move Away Order from California to transfer or obtain Guardianship of my Granddaughter?I have full guardianship in CA for the last 4 years.
  • We got a five day eviction notice and we offered to pay the rent in full within the five days and the landlord refused it he said if we didn't have it all that day it would be illegal to take the money
  • Our landlord overlooked a 4% increase in rent over the past two years and has issued an invoice for the past amount. Keep in mind he has issued invoices each month in an amount which we paid. Is the landlord allowed to charge an amt greater than the monthly invoices (ratification).
