QUESTIONS

  • What if your landlord is making you stay 60 days over the end of the lease because they fail to have you come in to fill out the vacate form but was informed face to face and by email of your hardship to continue residency? You did however give the a 30 day notice!
  • I need help with HOA violations that I am being fined $25 a day which I think is unreasonable. No others have been cited for similar problems for 30 years. Nothing has changed on my property for the 4 years I have lived here and only now has a complaint been filed against me. I cannot afford this claim and will more than likely lose my home if it cannot be paid. I need some free legal representation to resolve these issues ASAP since I am on SSA and retired and disabled.
  • Can someone who is suing me in small claims court have my SSI/DES benefits garnished?
  • I am diabetic, taking medication, and receiving food stamps but I need to eat three times per day. The amount stamps I receive is not enough for three meals a day and toward the end of the month I have to limit to one meal per day. Is an increase possible?
  • Six months into a twelve month lease my landlord sold the property. Now the new landlord is telling me that I must sign a new lease. Although she is not raising our rent, other provisions of the new lease are objectionable to me. Must I sign this new lease to preserve my status as a legal tenant, or must the new landlord accept the terms of my original lease?
  • My daughters father just recently was just given sole legal decision making. Does this mean he has full custody over the child?
  • Am I legally required to return an engagement ring after the wedding has been called off?
  • I made a 98.00 mistake on the register can the owner make me pay for it.
  • I know blacklisting is illegal but is very difficult to prove unless there is a written paper trail. I believe in my case there is no paper trail it is all word of mouth. Is there anything I can do?
  • Landlord does not want to fix a broken mailbox. The post office will not deliver until it’s fixed. Who’s responsible to fix the broken mailbox.
