This trailer was made in 1959 and the insulation is shot. The built-in electric heater is very expensive to run. I suggested a propane heater since there was already a propane tank for the kitchen stove against the back of the trailer. After the heater was installed, landlady said I would now be... View More

In Arizona, the specific terms of rental agreements, including fees associated with appliances such as a propane tank or heater, are determined by the terms of the lease or rental agreement you have with your landlord. If your lease agreement states that you are responsible for the yearly rental... View More

You can send a demand letter to both offices. But if you file suit, you must serve the Registered Agent. Get more information about the LLC first.

An Arizona attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for four weeks. It sounds like you're asking about an attorney who would handle your matter on a contingency basis (you mention payment upon settlement).

We’ve rented the house for three years. We moved out at the beginning of June and our lease went through the end of June.

They can't double dip: If they charge you for a full month, they have to make sure the premises are available to you the entirety of that month.
I am not sure if I should sign the waiver because I haven't had time or money to get legal advice. I already filed an answer denying the complaint saying I went to court for this incident.
answered on Apr 28, 2022
While all cases are different, the waiver is a standard procedure in Arizona if the parties are in communication. It provides an additional time period beyond the normal Answer deadline for a party to file an answer.
Waiving service saves costs and gives the person answering 60 to respond... View More

A commercial landlord can lock out a tenant without first obtaining a court order. This option is often specifically reserved in many commercial leases. It is also one of the remedies allowed by ARS 33-361.

In Arizona your property manager can handle evictions of Arizona tenants. It is not required that the property owner be an Arizona resident.
I live in Arizona and want to buy property in iowa. I need to know what type of llc's to set up in each state for asset protection.

answered on Dec 5, 2021
The power of attorney automatically ended when your father passed away. If you have been appointed executor or personal representative or administrator of his estate then, yes, you have the authority to enforce any existing lease, including demanding rent pursuant to the lease. Or you can evict... View More

answered on Aug 25, 2021
Dad has two options. He can call the police and see if the police will remove them as trespassers. Or he can evict per the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. If he must evict, I recommend that he consult with an attorney familiar with residential evictions.

Yes, it is not uncommon to amortize a loan over 20 or 30 years but provide for a balloon payment after 3-10 years. This allows a buyer to purchase and, if needed, provides time to build equity and improve his or her credit so it may be possible to refinance conventionally when the balloon payment... View More

MY HOA refuse to pick up my mail, which includes my monthly dues. This has been going on for 4 months now. All mail was sent certified return receipt. There was an ADRE case on HOA refusing to pick up mail, and who is liable. I am awaiting response.
answered on Jul 22, 2020
You should not be using certified mail unless the HOA Rules require it. The HOA has no obligation to be available all the times to sign a receipt to the mailman. Send all checks regular mail or hand deliver them, and when they cash them, you will have a bank record of some type. You knew you... View More

answered on Jun 15, 2020
The homeowners' divorce does not impair your rights under the lease and is not, by itself, grounds for lease termination. So long as you pay your rent, you should be allowed to complete your lease term unless your lease contains provisions that would allow the owners to terminate early.
