QUESTIONS

  • I moved in the 4th of July weekend, signing a 1 year lease, which will convert to month-to-month after the 1st year. On 12/31/15 I received a notice that they were raising my "tax" amount effective 2/1/16 - is this legal? And once the lease becomes month-to-month and you agree to a rental amount increase (which is sure to come), do you legally have to sign the agreement which is the same format as a "1 year" lease? Is it also possible to receive a copy of the "Landlord/Tenant Handbook"?
  • I live in & was divorced in Maricopa Co. My ex owes arrears, and we are currently undergoing modification. Can you pls tell me how to get a correct arrears amount? The only resource I found says I need to pay a $58 fee and write in requesting them-is there any way to get them with no fee? Thank you.
  • My son was born last year, i am on his birth certificate but i am not married to the birth mother. What are my rights to my son? Show low police said i have no rights to him unless we were married. Please tell me thats not true
  • Can my landlord force me to remove my trampoline even when in the contract there is nothing about tranpolines?
  • I was assaulted by my 29yr old Daughter. I called 911 and told the officer I needed paramedics and wanted to press charges. neither happened. I was asked to leave for the night! I took many pictures of bumps, bruises etc. can I go back and press charges?

  • I just want to know how this landlord/tenant works, our landlord emailed us that he was coming but we never checked the email and he still came and enter the back of the house, which is scared me because I didnt know it was him 2. He doesnt provide any type of service for landscaping but he said that we didnt have the place in optimal state and that he hopes that we have the inside clean, I havent responded because I did not know what to say
  • I gave notice in May to move during August (lease ending July 31). The landlord says I have to wait to get the amount they're going to charge me. They have a habit of delivering information the day before it's due. How long do I have to give them to get me this information?
  • I was arrested for domestic violence but my case got dismissed. Can I get the arrest off of my record?
