QUESTIONS

  • If an elderly person gets ill and a family member moves them to a hospital in another state, are they be considered a resident of the new state?
  • For the last 2 months, after a company bought the complex I'm living in, have endless cut down trees, no warning, all day every day other than the weekends. Because of that, rats have now started entering our apartments and taken up residence in our walls. It took them a month to come and repair holes where the rats were entering and the endless noise has made living here stressful. What is their rights as the owners of the complex and how much noise and inconvience they are causing everyone living here?
  • I signed a lease before property management would show me the apartment. I have not moved in and I am very unhappy with the apartment can I legally break lease. I never was given a copy of my lease agreement either.
  • We have been evicted, the constable showed up yesterday at 9am with a locksmith to change locks, I thought we were given 24 hours to remove our belongings before they changed the locks. They left my dogs in the backyard and I was not even home. I went back to check on dogs, and constable was hiding with a tape recorder telling me I can't be there. Even to check on my dogs they left in the backyard?
  • I have a credit card with the same bank where I have a Certificate of Deposit. My credit card payments are in default. I was using a credit counseling company to help me get out of debt and help me arrange a payment plan on the overdue credit card debt. The bank used my Certificate of Deposit to pay off the credit card debt without my permission. Is this legal?
  • My mother was given guardianship of my children when I was incarcerated. I've been out for over 2 years now. She has not allowed me to see my kids. I had a notarized statement giving custody to their dad, the judge did not accept it. Instead he accepted a letter I wrote to my sister while in county jail. How do I go about getting my kids back or visitation when I.can't afford it. To me this was all done wrong. And she wants child support when I can't see my kids.  
  • Can a judge grant tenants an extension of their lease if landlords refuse to renew a lease upon expiration, based on family hardship making it impossible for the tenant family to relocate?
  • Should a will include property with defined beneficiaries such as a trust or a POD account in a bank? Is it a bad idea to include such property?
  • What if my employer does not believe my reason for the leave?
  • I had a verbal agreement with my landlord that i could take over payments and own the house i was renting from him. He changed his mind and now tells me i have to leave today. I am a elderly vet who lives on his disability checks. what right do i have? I have a witness to the verbal agreement.
