I issued a 15-day non-renewal notice to my tenant due to a remodeling project to fix a water splashing problem. I placed her in an Airbnb for 3 nights, paying $580. She claimed the studio was uninhabitable due to mold, interfered with repairs, and did not let me in during scheduled assessments. She has not paid rent and is withholding it, claiming the place is uninhabitable. I sent her a 3-day notice to pay rent. The professionals found no mold, just water stains. Can I deduct the Airbnb expense from her deposit, and what can I do about the damage she caused by spreading lies to other tenants?

In 2020/2021, my son took archery lessons after school while I worked from home. The instructor misplaced an arrow on a tree, which was later found in my neighbor's pool. The police officer determined it couldn't have been us due to the bow's strength and the shooting angle. The yard service person found and removed the arrow from the pool, causing damage. Were there any witnesses, and is there anything else the lawyer should know before connecting me?

I need help with a motion to exclude evidence and a motion to discontinue. Additionally, I need guidance on how to seek relief from a judgment or order under Rule 60, and an example of a motion. Furthermore, I need advice on how to set aside a special master's report that was drafted improperly, with information withheld and not all heirs notified or involved.

When seeking dismissal for contempt of court, what constitutes good cause to file with a motion for an order shortening time to serve and for an earlier hearing date? I am the defendant, and the plaintiff has violated a vexatious litigant order by failing to seek permission to file.

A family member's car was hit while parked in NY, and the tow service provided false information about the car's location. The police say the car is not stolen because the keys were handed over. Can anything be done to address this situation?
