QUESTIONS

  • Does an email exchange between landlord and tenant constitute an agreement to extend a lease or does there have to be a new lease signed for the additional time to be valid, or if no new lease then is it considered month to month?
  • I am reaching out on behalf of my mother. My mother has toxoplasmosis and has been losing her eyesight gradually. It is hard for her to do things by herself (but she is proud and I can’t watch her all the time to make sure she doesn’t cause issues like this). My mom ordered checks through a third party associated with her bank. this website makes her enter her own account numbers. Due to this, she accidentally made bad checks and tried to pay her rent with one. They didn’t notify us until yesterday that the check bounced and are trying to charge us 100 dollars in fees. Can I fight this legally

My court order also states that each party is responsibe for one half of all uncovered medical expenses.

My ex wife is refusing to pay her half...what do I need to do?

I was not aware that been married to an active military for 10 years entitles me to a portion of his retirement.

I had water leaks where it took weeks to get there and they didn't clean up water and now I have mold. They took off my lock off patio and never put on. Safety latch for pool was taken off. I have kids. My pool took a month and a half to get fixed was green where you can't see bottom. I have documentation and emails and photos. I finally had enough gave notice to move. They said no. What can I do?
