  • I have tenants (couple) in my house who were let in by the last tenant. They have no lease, have paid no money. What are my rights? The house is in Maricopa County I am in AK.
  • Lease states landlord may terminate lease for any reason with 45 or 60 days notice? It also states tenant can terminate with 60 days notice but owe penalties and breach of contract. Is that legal in Arizona ?
  • If I'm on SS/Disability and don't get paid until the 3rd of every month can my apartment manager charge me a late fee for paying rent on the third not the first of the month? I had been told by the previous manager that it's illegal for him to do so. Now the new/current manager says that he (previous Mgr) was wrong, misinformed. I need to get a straight answer. Not the he said, she said that happening. Thank you for your help
  • my apartment complex is refusing to contact anyone other than their own complex repair people to fix our AC. we have been without working AC for OVER a week.. •1) can we withhold rent until this issue is resolved? •2) if so, who do we give our rent payments to in the mean time? •3) how long do they have to get the issue resolved after the 5 days from giving them written notice of the issue? thank you!
  • Can my landlord have my recreational vehicle, whichrunsandismyonlyformoftransportation, towed or removed if my registration & insurance are up to date, claiming its a violation of a rental agreement that is non existant?
  • My grandson's mom died, dad-my son- was in prison. Baby was living with my ex-husband (step grandfather), and he said state makes inmates sever parental rights-pushed him to sign voluntarily so he could adopt. He said if I interfere State may place the boy for adoption by strangers and I was not even being considered as adoptive placement. CPS, Foster Care board and courts wouldn't call me back to confirm. Ex husband said if I interfere we lose the boy forever so I stopped. Son died last year. Exhusband will no longer let me see my grandson. I think he lied-manipulated us and State acted inappropriately
  • I've been renting from the same landlord for three years and suddenly he foreclosed. Is it possible for his name not to show anywhere on the foreclosure papers?
  • Is Arizona a common-law marriage state? If two seniors have been living together for more than ten years without being married and one passes away, will the living senior be responsible for the debts of the deceased.
