QUESTIONS

  • I own a 55+ senior Rv community. A person living in a park model passed away. Their relatives have been trying to sell it. They paid the yearly rent (which is at a substantial discount). Two months later they received an offer on their home and now want a refund or partial refund of the rent. Now I have several signs in the office that states there are no prorations or refunds on rent. They are telling me that it's against the law that I rerent the space once they leave unless they sign a release allowing me to do so. Am I able to rent the space once they leave without refunding them?
  • How can I avoid being solicited by telemarketers and marketing mail?
  • If money was gifted by a spouses relative to purchase a home in a marriage, is this considered a gift that would apply under A.R.S 25-211? Can the spouse get the money returned after sell of the property?
  • What can I do if my husband is not filing his set of divorce papers, mine have been filed already and I waited the required amount of time, but he will not file his papers saying he is too busy. We have no children together and we agreed on everything. I believe I need to file a default form, but does that mean we have to have a hearing? Is there anyway to file the default form and have no hearing? Especially being we have no property/assets to divide.
  • Me and my wife separated 3 years ago. She moved out of state with our three children and then about a year later two of my boys came back to live with me in Arizona. They went up to visit their mom in Utah last Summer and she refused to let my boys come back . Come to find out she filed for divorce/custody when they first got up there and I was never served anything. It's already been approved by a judge and now I'm paying child support and on a parenting schedule to visit my kids. What can I do and which state, Arizona or Utah do i contact? Thank you
  • My sister in law recently got her rights severed, is there anyway she could get her 6month old son back? Also the foster mom who recently has my nephew has been getting money from the mother is that even legal also? Wouldn't the foster mom get in trouble for that?
  • Im am 15 and pregnant. The baby Should be here around the time I turn 16..Im I a legal adult when the baby comes out? If not what rights do I have?
  • I own one rental property, a townhome. Due to financial difficulties, I must sell it. What are the tenants rights while it is listed for sale?What are my rights to show it to potential buyers? If it sells before the lease is up, what can be done if the new owner wants the property to be vacant?
  • Does AZ Landlord Tenant Act apply to senior living facilities, specifically independent living facilities where residents contract with the facility includes some meals, use of facilities' transportation services, etc? (To be clear, I am not asking about assisted living facilities.)
  • My sole income is Social Security. I just received a civil summons from my old credit union for my credit card debit. Can they garnish my Social Security income? My Social Security is direct deposited into my bank account. I CAN NOT afford an attorney, just wanted to know my rights.
