I'm a landlord with a property in Pennsylvania where two tenants signed the lease. One tenant has filed for bankruptcy and attempted to pay rent with a fraudulent check. My wife informed her about the check's status, and she said she would resolve it. Is this considered trying to collect a debt in bankruptcy? Can I pursue the other tenant who isn't in bankruptcy but signed the lease? Additionally, the utilities are in my name, but the tenants aren't paying those either. What are my options?

Someone rear-ended us at a stop sign intersection, causing a crease in our back bumper with a $950 repair estimate. The other driver's insurance denied the claim, stating we backed into him. We have no witnesses, and the police did not take statements. We are considering small claims court. Can the judge see the truth and rule in our favor, or are we out of luck?

How much discretion does a municipality like Fort Lauderdale have in assessing water rates for different kinds of residential users, and where does the statutory or other authority lie for making such a decision? Condo users are paying twice as much as single-family home owners for water, even though the cost of delivery is less for condos. This seems unfair as all users consume water in approximately the same quantities. Is this discretionary or statutory?
