Listen; you can't have it both ways; if he has been determined to be the father and has been ordered/paying child support he has rights as father unless a court determines otherwise. The time to worry about protecting a child was before you made the decision to have intercourse with this man...

How are you going to sue the landlord if 1. you have no idea who this person is and 2. the landlord isn't the one who did this. The original tenants did this. You know, those folks who allowed you to live there with not a one of you bothering to notify the owner additional tenants had moved...

Attached are the steps to terminate a month to month lease in Michigan: http://www.michiganlegalaid.org/library_client/resource.2005-05-30.1117489737125/html_view Provide this documentation IN WRITING (keep a copy for yourself). In the event you need to take the landlord to court for the...

Double check what your roommate told you with the landlord. Typically ALL parties on a lease (the landlord, the roommate AND yourself) must sign an agreement releasing one person from the lease. Gail

You could (if you wished), give your daughter to your ex. It's not you that he minds moving but rather his child. And yes, he is likely to continue to contest any move you would make to take his daughter further away from him. Gail

I can pretty much guarantee the bank isn't going to refund you any security deposit. You may need to consider a lawsuit against the original owner for this money. Gail

You're in a bit of a pickle. If the police do show up, how are you going to prove that you are not trespassing? You don't have any documentation that anyone (either the actual owner or the folks who used to live there) have actually given you permission to be there, correct? The trespassing...

Call the police regarding the drug use issue. Police are often not likely to get into the prospect of removing someone who claims to be a tenant WITHOUT A COURT ORDER GRANTING AN EVICTION. They tend to cite this as a civil, not criminal matter. Turning someone in for drug use is a...

Information that includes late fees in California: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/living-in.shtml How much can be charged (or whether any fee can be charged at all) would depend on whether the unit is in a rent controlled area or covered by any ordinance specific to the...

I first verify that the person they list on their application IS the actual landlord. My first tenants listed a friend as the previous landlord and of course this person gave them glowing recommendations; it wasn't until they skipped out one weekend that I found who the previous landlord was...

Neither your nor your daughter face health risks from this issue. Why would you believe you need to take legal action? Now, if management does not address the issue next week that might be a different matter. Gail

Did you get anything in writing that management agreed you could move out before your lease expired? Gail

These are two separate issues. Typically when an eviction is granted by a judge, it will be up to the Marshalls office to schedule this. It will be done according to how busy this office is in terms of handling other evictions. Haven't a clue as to what trouble they can get into regarding...

Your new landlord is a bit of a dummy, especially in such a tenant friendly state as New Jersey. Security deposits are to "roll over" the the new landlord when a rental unit is sold. It is not up to the tenants to contact the old landlord for these deposits nor can the new landlord require...

1. Yes; unless he is able to find someone to take over the remainder of his lease. 2. Facing the possibility of being sued for owed rent (until the unit is rerented), having some information on his credit report making rerenting down the road difficult. 3. Well, if he's like many tenants...

While this question comes from the United Kingdom it would be difficult to believe that landlord/tenant laws there would be so different that a lease listing a specific amount of rent would not be a legally binding contract. Gail

Stop for a minute and read back what you've written. You were in a "bad spot" and allowed your partners parents to take over the major care of these children....four years ago. Your reasoning is that you were in a bad relationship with their father....and, from your posting, remain in that...

You determine the interest. The court will decide if this is a fair amount. You would file suit against your current landlord, not the previous owner. The security deposit should (but often does not as new owners often forget to ask about this) "roll over" to the new owner when they...

Yes; you can certainly sue her for her share of the owed rent you had to pay in order to prevent facing an eviction for nonpayment of rent. The utilities issue is a bit stickier; a judge is not likely to award you damages for utilities that she did not use. However, please understand that...

Unless things have changed VERY recently in Pennsylvania, it's double the amount: http://tenant.net/Other_Areas/Penn/harris/pa-part4.html You determine the interest by looking into what banks pay for interest now. Typically it's lousy; like .5 - 1.5 percent at this time. Gail
