Has she refused to turn down the music? Oddly enough, perhaps you should threaten to call the police if she refuses to turn down the music -- does it bother the neigbors? have they complained? The three of you may want to send her a letter, certified return receipt, stating that she has...

The California Department of Consumer Affairs Landlord Tenant Division has a great excerpt on what you can do. I'll take a small snippet: Generally, under California law, lodgers and residents of hotels and motels have the same rights as tenants.2 Situations in which lodgers and residents of...

There may be local ordinances restricting the frequency of commercial vehicles being parked in residential areas. You may be able to find what you seek by contacting or visiting the county courthouse or your local Department of Motor Vehicles. You can then look up the ordinances with regard to...

They have no recourse against you, IMHO. If they try to take you to court they will have no agreement to point to either. You should send them a written letter, certified return receipt, that if they don't return the money you will sue them for the $1,400 and for damages and pursue all legal...

I will assume that both roomates are on the lease? If this is the case, and it is usual, both are responsible for the entire amount of the lease. In the event your sister ends up footing the bill, she can sue the other roomate. She also does not have to accept just any roomate but one that is...

At this point your best bet is to send the certified return receipt letters and detail the problems and also file a complaint yourself. You should probably also send a letter to her and that you have tried to deal with her amicably but this was to no success. She has misrepresented the truth in...

The lease should speak to a change in ownership. In general, when property is sold, the new owner inherits the tenancy, your lease. You are likely obligated to complete your lease term.

The letter sounds reasonable but you don't know if management knew about the ant infestation. You would probably do better stating that there is no question they must have known about the problem. If the problem is as bad as you say that it is then you have the option of moving. If you...

I don't know what you mean by "park residents." I don't see any reason why you cannot send letters containing facts to your neighbors if that is what you wish to do. It is not defamatory and I am unaware how this can be actionable. I'm not sure what the need is to have inmate numbers. What is...

I highly doubt there is any "cart law" on this type of accident and it is a typical case of negligence. Difficult to say who is responsible though and unclear from your story. What do you mean "the cart broke lose?" Perhaps the responsibility is that of the person who had been handling the cart...

It all depends upon what was signed. Your actions may have dictated that they could sign for you. It happens all the time in business and you'd have a difficult time proving fraud in the instance where the employees didn't really stand to gain from doing so. Everything depends upon the context...

How did these attorneys get hold of your personal information? Who shared your information? That's reprehensible.

What kind of a building is it? Condo? Co-op? I'm not sure why Landlord #4 wouldn't have grounds for eviction. The question is whether he cares since he gets the rent on time. What may make Landlord #4 think about it is if he or she received a letter from all the neighbors, demanding that this...

You will not be able to put a "lien" on this new house. You should immediately send a demand letter to your ex-mother in law demanding payment within a short but reasonable period of time. You may want to state the terms that they are overdue and reference only one payment of $5,000. The statute...

Were you convicted? Was the case thrown out of Court? If you had no idea that the sticker was phony then you may not have the "mens rea" or "state of mind" that you would need to be convicted and the charge will be tossed. What were you charged with? How did this cause you to lose a job?

You are confusing credit agency reports and records kept in the courts and police departments. They have no such purging requirement. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 55.02 states the procedure to do get records expunged in Texas: 1) It seems you will need to file a petition assuming you are...

A common tactic of a husband is to say "I'll make sure I leave you with nothing." This is usually never the case, especially after a 20 year marriage. Without knowing the specific details of your case, I cannot tell you what will happen but you will likely be awarded a substantial portion of the...

Not that I am aware. It can be obtained fairly easily with a little knowledge. I would guess that if you did something that might create a situation, e.g. arrange for an attack on an IP address, the action might be subject to question.

These made for TV judges aren't exactly the real deal. Judge Judy's cases are usually pretty easy and she actually does get the law correct. J. Hatchett (I saw the show once) is almost like an Oprah meets the courtroom type of show. The two cases I saw, one of them involved taking this young kid...

I'm not as well versed in Canadian law but the Candian Citizenship and Immigration Web Site may be of assistance. I think that certain properties may be off limits to non-citizens in the same way that it is here in the US. I am sure that this web site and office can tell you more, as will any...
