QUESTIONS

  • I live in an apartment complex that is slated to be sold to new owners at the end of this month. The new owners are planning major repairs and upgrades, resulting in a major rent increase. My current lease is for another six months. I cannot afford higher rent, nor coming up with first/last/deposit etc quickly for a new place. What are my rights? Do the new owners have to "buy" out my current lease?
  • I am separated but not legally divorced from my wife yet. I am trying to see my two daughters but their mother will not let me see them what can I do if there is no court order placed an order to see my daughters as soon as possible.
  • I was charged for burglary and theft felonies. I signed a plea admitting to the theft and the burglary charge was dismissed. After completing my probation the theft was reduced to a misdemeanor. I then had the misdemeanor set aside. Both the burglary and theft are showing up on an apartment background check and they don't say anything about being dismissed or set aside. Could this be an error? Could the court have mistakenly not cleared the conviction? Or is it the program they are using is not accurate? Thanks
  • My neighbors were evicted from their home. Myself and roommates were helping the family by letting them use our personal items not knowing about anything like this, they never disclosed that they might be evicted. what do we need to do and when will the renters be able to come back to move their stuff and give us back our stuff? This happened today. 4/15/2015
