One big ranch property with 4 different homes with different addresses if they come to search one house can they search all the houses on the property?
The search warrant must state the address of the property to be searched with specificity. No judge should approve any warrant that allows for a blanket search of a large ranch except in language which clearly states what is to be searched. It would also depend on the nature of the criminal... Read more »

My apartment includes 5 people, including myself, and we split the $850 security deposit between us so we each paid $170. Now another person and I will be renewing the lease while the rest of them are leaving. How do we split up how we repay each other for our portion that we contributed to the... Read more »
This is not a legal question. It is a math question. If you paid $170 as one of 5 roommates and one withdraws, the remaining four roommates must pay you ($170/4 = $42.50 each) to return your share of the security deposit. If they rent to another roommate, then the new person will pay each of... Read more »

I have never been billed for these services and had inquired multiple times for a bill in December 2017. Since so much time has elapsed, I feel even the hours are a bit high. I believe this was an oral agreement only for the work rendered Am I still responsible to pay?
As a general rule, any civil action for monies owed for services or goods must be commenced within two years of providing such services or goods, with some narrow exceptions. If there is a written contract, the statute of limitations is four years, with some exceptions.
1. If I'm not being paid the minimum wage, can I file for overtime pay?
2. I want to engage a lawyer, but I cannot afford it.
3. I have overstayed my visa.
If you are not being paid properly you can recover the money you should have been paid, along with interest and perhaps penalties as well, in a legal action.

First of all, I am not a California attorney.
