QUESTIONS

  • We live in a senior residence (my partner is 58) and they have a "chiller" system, in addition, they pay all utilities. Tonight (at approximately 9:30pm) we returned to our 2nd floor apartment which had risen to 80 degrees F (from 75). We both suffer from allergies which makes opening windows problematic (I have an inhaler as well) as well as hypertension. My blood pressure elevated from the hot temperature. I know at some point they change from an A/C based system to a heating system. What are our rights in this situation?
  • I wish to bring my friend for a visit to PA for 2 weeks. He is on Arizona long term healthcare in an assisted living facility. If he leaves the state for a short time will his Arizona healthcare insurance cover him out of state?
  • How old do you have to be to get a job in Peoria, Arizona and/or Phoenix, Arizona
  • My grandfather is 91 and not expected to live much longer. He has a house valued at 60K but he owes 50K on it. The house is deeded to "the trust of..." Who gets the house upon his death and also, who is responsible for maintaining the payments? I am the executor of his will and current POA for him but there is no special provision regarding real estate. He does have a trust set up and we only have the "abstract of trust" that states who the trustee is upon his death.
  • I got a harassment injunction against someone in February 2018, they violated it and are being prosecuted today Oct 2018. They were threatening before, but now they are extremely angry. I am trying to break my lease becasue I dont feel safe with this person knowing where I live and my apt landlord says my injunction/ PO is too old and because it wasn't domestic violence, it doesn't count. This person has threatened me and is obviously being punished by law, what can I do? What AZ statutes if any allow me to break my lease due to my situation?
  • My landlord unlawfully entered my house and physicaly attacked me. What can I do?
  • I just received a letter from the management at my apartment complex (07/21/14 which they just taped to my door and not hand delivered or by certified mail as estipulate in the tenants landlord act) letting me know that the lease agreement expires on 08/16/2014 and that they will raise the rent around $150.00. It also states that in cse i want to move I have to give them a 2 month notice but they just informed me about the changes not even a full month in advanced. Is this legal?
  • I don't know how to classify my question, by is very important and I need a lawyer help or advice. I'm starting a non-profit organization and I need help with the steps to follow. Do you or do you know someone that can help me and that don't charge me an arm and a leg for the help? I've been calling several places and they wouldn't be able to do that because they are not doing the service free or their charge are too much. Please let me know where I can go or to who I can call to get the help.
  • My wife is having a baby. Do I get a leave to stay at home with the new baby also?
  • I recently went to court and got my case kicked out for the reason i sent the 5 day notice via certified mail and didn't wait 10 days to file a forcible detainer?... i waited 7 days?. the judge said it is 5 days for serving it by hand but 10 if it is done certified mail? is this right? thanks
