Attached is a site that lists state laws/statutes regarding landlord/tenant laws. Highlight Pennsylvania, then the landlord/tenant handbook. It will provide information regarding the steps to eviction if you believe the tenants have breached the lease...

"We" have no legal standing to do anything about this. Mom has; stepdad is considered a legal stranger to the courts. It's pretty obvious dad isn't going to pay anything. Perhaps a stay in the cement hotel may help him change his mind. Please understand that the court system is going...

If you believe you are being taken advantage of, it would really be in your best interest to get all your "legal ducks" in a row (so to speak) should this issue end up in court. Often who ever "wins" in court is the person who presents the best evidence in the form of documentation to the...

Rather grumpy last night, weren't you? What may happen regarding this notice...if not "remedied" within the required time period (i.e., paying the late fees), the next step would be for management to file for the actual eviction. It's important to remember that only a court can actual...

Have him sign off on the lease and then sue him. Don't worry about this comments about roommates and drugs. Gail

If you are, perhaps, withholding rent because of these repair issues, your problem is that speaking to some employee about these concerns is not providing you with any paper trail documentation to provide to a judge should this end up on court. As mightymoose said, it is important to...

The landlord/management has to provide a SOURCE for you to receive energy (i.e., safe electrical wiring, an electric box/panel). They don't need to provide the actual electricity unless utilities are included in your lease and your rent payment reflects this. Sounds like your lease makes you...

I don't mean to sound harsh but for the past five years it appears your living arrangements were just fine and dandy...until you now face the possibility of eviction due to owing rent. One cannot help but think that you are looking for way to avoid this by suddenly coming up with all sorts...

At this point in time, you are considered to be the legal father (i.e., you are married to the mother and your name is on the birth certificate). You can certainly request the mother pay for the DNA test but the lab doing the testing isn't going to care who pays for this...just that it's paid...

In the absence of a written lease, your roommate has a month to month tenancy. It should be fairly easy to terminate such a lease with a 30 day notice: http://www.housingnyc.com/html/resources/attygenguide.html#3 Gail

This is what I think... 1. If you decide not to sue your landlord for not notifying you in time regarding your security deposit, they will never return the favor by filing a lawsuit against you. 2. If you do decide to sue, they will likely do the same because they have nothing to lose by...

Are you, by any chance, the person who was concerned about being sued by the landlord if you sued them for your deposit (posting over on the forum.freeadvice.com site?). If you are asking about statute of limitations for contracts, Arizona has the following time limitations...

More stuff to read regarding the justification for withholding rent in Florida: http://www.floridapirg.org/flp.asp?id2=25878 Withholding rent should be the LAST step that a tenant takes if the justification for doing so is because the landlord has not addressed repair issues. Since...

Yes. Attached is a copy of the Florida Statute covering this issue: http://www.flsenate.gov/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=Ch0083/SEC56.HTM&Title=->2009->Ch0083->Section%2056#0083.56 Please review number 3 (under statute 83.56) which describes the steps a...

Unless the divorce decree specified these items be returned to her (and it would typically specify a time period that they must be picked up by the ex-wife), smoking blowing. Gail

Has he been legally established as the father? Why haven't you done anything in the past 2 years to get your daughter back? Gail

As my dad used to say, you're a day late and a dollar short moving on any of these issues. Once a hearing date has been determined by the court, neither party can "cancel" it. You should have made an appearance in court and presented your evidence (i.e., your receipt) that you paid the owed...

You're in a bit of a pickle. You can talk to the landlord about this issue because you possibly face an eviction yourself for an additional roommate that you never notified them of. Have you thought of paying off the girlfriend to find another place to live? Gail

I'm assuming you sold the car to the second buyer for the full $1500. Send the $200 back to the original buyer and be done with it. You never indicated when the final payment was due and if they sue you you have nothing to show in court that you lost money on this deal. Gail

I suspect that they will not go through the court system for fear that their landlord will "catch wind" that they have been renting out rooms without the landlords permission. Gail
