I am a landlord in Texas with an upcoming eviction case. My tenants may have abandoned the property, changed the locks without permission, and left water running, potentially causing damage. I've misplaced the lease paperwork, and I missed checking a box for a suit for rent on the eviction petition. Can I change the locks if the tenants have abandoned the property, enter the property to check for damage, and still file a suit for rent owed? How should I handle the missing paperwork in court?

How can I evict a tenant for selling drugs in Pennsylvania? The police have charged the tenants, and they just signed a 6-month lease.

I received a small settlement from the insurance resulting from a pedestrian-vehicle accident. My health insurance paid most of the medical bills, but now that I have received the settlement, I am responsible for paying the remaining debts. I am afraid of balance billing and want to know how to handle this debt to avoid that happening. What steps should I take to manage this situation effectively?

I'm an 18-year-old freshman at the Dominican University of California. On Halloween night, I was intoxicated, and so was another student with whom I had implied/explicit sexual consent. However, affirmative consent cannot be given if one party is intoxicated. I want to know my rights in this case, what legal action I can take to prevent expulsion, and what evidence I should gather for my defense.

I was employed by the US Department of Defense and was injured at work in August 2010. I began receiving social security retirement income in 2011 at the age of 66. In 2011, I also began receiving worker's compensation benefits for doctor visits and surgeries related to my accident at work. OWCP has demanded that I pay them $33,000, claiming they overpaid me because there should have been an offset due to my receiving social security retirement. I have been trying to research this and keep getting information that there would only be an offset required if I were receiving social security disability but not social security retirement. Is the OWCP correct or is the fact that what I have been receiving from social security purely retirement keep me from being held to the offset they are claiming?
