QUESTIONS

  • I informed my landlord that there were several things that needed to be fixed (the dishwasher and the toilet) She never responded to my requests. I waited several days. I then informed her that I would have these items fixed and that I would provide her with receipts of the work done and deduct it from my rent. Again, she did not respond. Now she is seeking late fees for the amount that I deducted from my rent. In addition, the roof has leaked for the last year and after numerous requests has not been fixed to my knowledge. Can she do this and can I break m y Lease?
  • Yes I need to see a judge to get a warrant taken care of for a state mandated class that I did not attend as I did not have the funds to pay $2300.00 for the class. What do I need to do to appear before a judge? Thank you for your help.
  • My house was due for a short sale. We had a buyer with good faith money down. The loan servicing company let the time frame lapse, did not respond to my realtor's requests, and sold the loan service subsidiary to Goldman Sachs the week after,and they took it to foreclosure. Now I have a lawyer for the HOA hounding me for $4000. The bank that owns my former property just listed it again for the price we ( my realtor and myself ) had it sold for originally. What do I do about the HOA problem? This was in Arizona. I am now living in Colorado.
  • Was approved last year for Ahcccs Medical in July and our income went up $28 in January this year, SS disiblilty increase. I could not make the change online so I called and someone over the phone, end of Dec, being proactive, do not want to be w/o coverage, they did a new app. I received a note on Feb. 20th saying that it was denied, I was $12 over the income limit, although the new income limits online for Feb. 1 have gone up and I fit in those limits. I called and explained, but no. Applied on marketplace and a yes for reg plan. Can Accchs cancel and leave me w/o any ins. till plan starts?
  • For the last 8 years I have been paying my landlord cash. I did fall a little behind and was making payments. I never kept track and now he says I am 6 months behind and gives a hand written payment sheet for the last 2 years. He wants about $7000.00 he never gives me receipts and wants cash. I have had to go buy all new appliances because when something breaks down he repairs them and they don't last. There is also a lot of problems (unsafe) we have told him about and he does not repair. Can he legally evict us or take us to court.
  • I just found out I have a 2 year old daughter with an friend of mine. She as with another guy at he time, so she just let him believe he was the father through the pregnancy. So he's on the birth certificate, she has his last name. When I found out about her, the mother was all about finding out I'm the biological father and helping me get my parental right to her. Now the mother has changed her mind and is trying to keep me out of my daughters life. From everything he mother has told me about these past 2 years, the father always denied her being his to anyone they would meet. What can I do?
  • I rent a condo from the owner. The landlord has sent 4 serviceman to fix my 23 year old ac unit that has been non stop leaking on 7/4( now 7/28). Each saying the ac simply needs to be replaced. I have numerous bowls out bc it leaks in different areas. The hallway is a hazard and unsightly . He has come to terms it needs replaced. What time frame am I entitled to have the replacement done timely ? Also is it my responsibility to meet the repairman if the landlord cannot accommodate my work schedule?
  • I am currently in the midst of a civil dispute with the co-buyer of a house I recently purchased back in April of 2015. I have been removed from the house temporarily with an order of protection which I am currently in the process of contesting. The co-buyer is demanding I remove my name from the title. I currently have an indemnity agreement that was signed by the co-buyer, but it doesnt protect me from the mortgage company, only the co-buyer. How can I force a Judicial Sale of the house so that hes forced to refinance and take my name off the mortgage? That or the house goes to the highest
  • I have a 7 year old sister from my father and his ex-wife has custody. she hasn't let me even talk to her in about 3 1/2 years, except when I was with my father, but i don't live with my father and I was curious if i could file something in the courts to compel her to at least let me talk to her on the phone?
