they say they do not need my permission to enter my home, i asked if they would wait until i was present to enter the home and they said if i didn’t answer the door they would be allowed to enter anyway.

All lease have a provision for quiet enjoyment which means that a landlord cannot enter an apartment without the tenant's permission unless there is an emergency which must be addressed immediately such as a gas or water leak or the smell of smoke.
Acquaintance from my work got a 6mnth old pitbull puppy and didn't tell the landlord. He found out after the dog chewed the carpet and made her get rid of the dog. When we took the dog it had open wounds all over its body and was missing half her fur. After medications and medicated baths and... Read more »

I was suffering from mild mental health issues and also had several strokes. She had poa while I was incapacitated but I'm now doing much better and am in therapy
answered on Mar 4, 2021
The power of attorney needs to specify that she may act on your behalf if you have a mental health issue. She has no authority under the power of attorney to permanently surrender your dogs. If the mental health crisis is over and your therapist with whom you are treating does not feel that you are... Read more »

I am sorry about your ordeal, but realistically trying to retain counsel and filing a lawsuit, is not going to be cost effective.
We have asked them multiple times to keep the dog in their yard, but they have not done anything. They let him out in the yard with no supervision, and he uses our yard as his toilet. Do we have any recourse?

Call animal control for Dog off leash or Failure to control.

Probably not. You will need to check your state statutes for whether or not lunging is a criminal offense. It is here in Colorado.
It took him 3 or 4 months to even ask about the dog. He's neglectful towards the dog. He doesn't like to walk him. And for as long as we've had him giving him back would probably kill the dog.

Unfortunately, unless this person gave you the dog, he still has ownership rights, even if he is a crappy owner. If you suspect the owner neglects or abuses the dog, you could always call animal control. Otherwise, your only option to keep the dog is to offer to buy the dog from him. If he agrees,...

The municipality is requiring it but I’m told it’s not required. Where can I find the requirements for a professional contractor working for a municipality?

You have two choices: Either obey the municipal ordinance that requires you to have an affirmative action certificate or get ready to find another employer--soon.

Do you seriously believe a Court will want to get involved in this matter? I can understand that a dog is almost like a child, but a Judge may not be so tolerant. Perhaps you could give you ex a different dog to try to work this out?

This is not a self-help project! Trying to represent yourself in Court is a bad idea. Not only are you emotionally involved, but you are not a trained attorney. You do not know the Court Rules, Rules of Evidence, case law, nor are you trained how to handle a legal case, especially if litigation is... Read more »

This is not the type of transaction that you should engage in long distance. If she does chose to sue you, it would be in NC. A signed contract is not essential to this matter. Threatening to sue someone is easy, actually doing it successfully is not.
is a civil matter not a criminal one and there is nothing can do, is that correct?

In general a dog is considered personal property, it is not a person.
What are my rights .
answered on May 11, 2018
A dog like a cell phone when found is generally another persons property so you cannot keep it and must turn it in. If that is your problem and you get charged hire a criminal lawyer.
answered on Mar 15, 2018
The only fact that is relevant here for the court is whether your dog was on a leash or not. If your looking for a defense you should at least speak with a lawyer.
