Legal Answers
44 Questions Answered
- Q. Rental property issues with tax lien and hazardous conditions
- A: If you are current in your rent, you should make sure your complaints to the landlord are in writing. Consider escrowing your rent; your local municipal court will have information on the proper procedure for escrow. You should speak with an attorney directly so that they can review your lease and any additional defenses you may have. There are often caveats to escrow and so it is best to get advice from a local attorney or your local Legal Aid Society, who will be able to give you additional guidance for your specific circumstances.
- Q. Concerned about school suspension for joke searches affecting future college applications and personal records.
- A: What was the joke? Until there is something on your record, it can't be "removed." If charges were brought, you should work with an attorney to seal or expunge them. If no charges were brought, there are no charges "on your record." At any rate, this is not the right forum for the kind of help you probably need, which is to speak with a local defense attorney who handles education matters.
- Q. Eviction notice for alleged lease violation in Ohio
- A: If you are a voucher holder subject to HUD conditions, there are very specific definitions in HUD leases as to when a landlord can properly evict you re having people over. HUD also has specific definitions for what constitutes a "guest" or "other person under the tenant's control." See 24 CFR Section 5 (Subsection A). If I'm misunderstanding and you aren't in subsidized housing, you should definitely still review your lease with an attorney; contact your local Legal Aid office at a minimum.
