QUESTIONS

  • If I paid a medical office to process my FMLA paperwork with my employer (TWICE) and they missed the deadline by one day even though they were in communication with my HR department. What options do I have against either the medical office or my employer? I ultimately got denied and had to work with my doctor to get on light duty to keep an income.
  • I asked a question in Sep 2019 about being able to see my grandson. Daughter and her husband are still married and he is controlling her. What legal recourse do I have. PLEASE RESPOND AS IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE I ASKED THIS QUESTION!!!
  • What if agent representing landlord only has a number which is a voicemail?
  • My fiancé and I moved in the same day and my rent was 440 but he still charged me an extra 40$ for my fiancé can help do this
  • I was renting a trailer for over a year and about 8 months ago I started getting sick. I moved bedroom furniture and discovered mold on the wall. I immediately moved out but had to leave 2 beds, couches, pillows, comforters, etc. My daughter and I ended up on my moms floor with no pillows or blankets so I asked for $200 of my security deposit back and was told I had to sign a waiver before I received my money. Before I moved in a pipe had burst and was fixed by the maintenance man who came in and told me the mold was probably in the walls the whole time. Is there anything I can do?
  • Is there an agency that can help prepare a trust? I have a friend that is terminal (still mentally competent) that has not prepared a will or trust. She is on disability and low income.
  • When I apply for a job, should I tell them about my disability?
  • I live in a pay weekly studio apartment and my rent is due on mondays. Ive lived here for 3months but this week im short my landlord has kicked my door in and yelled screamed he wants me out in 5 hours. I have nowhere to go i will have his money in a couple of days. So my question is is this legal and what can i do to get a little more time. Cant he be arrested for slum lord activities. What should i do?
  • The back sliding door in our rental home has a broken lock. I have requested repairs be done and the landlord said he would fix it but it has been over 6 months and it has still not been repaired. I do not feel safe in my home because I can not lock the door and someone could come in and harm me. What can I do to remedy this situation. Do I have any rights? Is this a health and safety issue? Is the landlord required to make sure the back door lock is in working condition?
  • We notified landlord we are terminating our lease that is effective through September 08. We actually vacated the house June 11. We asked landlord to find another tenant that could move in before out lease is up so we can get out of our lease early. Landlord said they were looking for new tenant but then said they wanted their friends to move in Jan. 09. They are playing with our money now by not looking for a new tenant. Can they do that?
