    Cheap Landlord

    Actually..... I think what mr manager was trying to say is that if the OP is gay it is possible that is the reason the landlord has not installed the dishwasher. Which would then make this a fair housing issue. If there are no other gay couples in the complex, or if there are and they have...

    Is my mother guilty of fraud?

    I don't know an answer to the question about child support, but if you want to get back at her... Are you filing taxes on your own? If so, find out if she is deffinately claiming you on her taxes. If she is, report her to the IRS and she may get audited.

    Child Support for 18yr old allegedly in school

    I believe most people would agree with you on that one, however, a student is considered a dependant of the parent until the age of 24. That's why it is so difficult to get financial aid for 18-24 year olds who do not live at home. Their parents are still expected to contribute to the "child's"...

    Sick Leave

    What is the name of your state? Ohio When calling to request sick leave due to illness or minor personal injury (no more than 3 days off) can an employer demand to see the diagnosis/treatment plan, or is a typical doctor's note stating the date to return to work all that they are entitled to?

    Breaking the lease

    Read the lease yet? Does your lease allow sub-letting? Might want to check it just in case. If it does, and you know for certain he has not found someone (discuss it with him first) to rent the apartment, then there shouldn't be a problem. If your lease does not allow subletting, you can let...

    landlord insists guest is a tenant

    Is your lease written or verbal? Hopefully written. If it is, read it. Is there something in it regarding guests? How about the number of people allowed to reside in the apartment?

    Lying Leech Inlaw Not Leaving

    If no rent was ever asked for all she is at this point is a crazy relative who needed a place to stay so she decided to dump herself on you for a while. Chipping in $40 for groceries for a while does not constitute paying rent. Any loan payments made also could not be considered rent because it...

    Advice needed quickly!

    Ask whoever is doing her job now. Chances are, as long as they know they will get money for the apartment, they won't mind if you find someone else. Unless their only purpose in life is to make everyone else's lives a living hell. Most military clauses are only for military personnel going...

    commercial property - no lease yet - psycho landlord

    hmmmm..... Was the verbal contract for a month to month lease or for a long term lease? If it was month to month, as long as he goes about it legally, he can terminate the contract at any time. If it was a long term agreement, it really all depends on how a judge would see it. As far as the...

    commercial property - no lease yet - psycho landlord

    If you took possession of the property without a lease the Landlord is under no obligation to give you one. It's a trick a lot of Landlords in my county use (and probably everywhere else too). I would start looking for another business location if I were you. And make sure you get a lease...
