QUESTIONS

  • I have a roommate that lets her boyfriend come over everyday and stay over every night. We are only paying rent for 2 people, not 3. I have tried talking to her about it and how this is not what I signed on for. Is it legal for her boyfriend to be basically living with us for free?
  • Does the Superior Court have a procedure for expedited processing of time sensitive cases? If so, would that procedure be applicable to a foreclosure of the right to redeem a tax lien?
  • My divorce is final and has been dissolved. I was awarded the house and it’s just in my name, but he won’t leave. How can I evict him?
  • My wife's sister and husband want to relinquish their rights as parents and transfer full custody and legal guardianship to my wife and I. If both parents are consenting and sign a notarized court approved form, would we be required to announce the hearing in the local newspaper?
  • My grandson cannot afford an attorney. Is there a way he can file for custody of his son free of charge?
  • Does the renter pay the HOA fees for the landlord,since this landlord didn't comply with a lease or any written agreement concerning rent it was all verbal.
  • Asking landlord for contract since Aug 16,2 Aug 16, had flood, he remove carpet promised to fix everything. My wife and 4 kids play in the cement for 5 ½ mths.Water from broom through wall damage our belonging in the garage.-Gar. Disposal, Microwave, and toilets not fixed.Withheld Dec rent, pay after he promised to fix the problems. He did not.Withheld Jan rent, pay after he threatened me by text that he will evict us.18 Jan 17, he left court papers on door w/a court day 24 Jan 17 to evict w/i 5 days.The tenants in the other flooded apartment are Anglo and their apartment was fixed w/i 2-weeks
  • The ac went out in our house rental at 1:30am, so I had to get myself and two small children to a hotel. We ended up staying for two nights before the AC was repaired. The landlords said they won't/don't reimburse for the hotel. I'm confused because it says in the Tenant/Landlord act that money can be withheld from rent if substitute house has to be found if the rental is uninhabitable. I have receipts for the hotel and I took the amount off the rent & now the landlords are looking to either late fee or evict me. Can they do that?! I really scared as I have two small kids & no where to go.
  • If you are living in someone's home can a fiduciary just lock you out without doing an eviction and taking you to court
  • I reside in NV, but need to modify an existing permanent guardianship order in Phoenix juvenile court. I have permanent guardianship now of my two year granddaughter, won through Judge Norris. The case was ICWA, and the paternal grandmother was awarded eleven weeks visitation, and has not used one day and called three times in two years. The childs father is being released from AZDOC in October and I am frightened that the paternal grandmother will suddenly want visitation. What can I do to modify the order to require transistional visits, supervised visitation?
