Jeffrey H. asked
I moved into a house with friends last July, and we discussed improvements with the landlord, such as replacing a broken dishwasher, adding trim, and repainting the bathroom due to black mold. The landlord did not fulfill these promises in a timely manner, and the work done was subpar. We contacted Delaware Health and Human Services, who found additional issues like lack of fire alarms and mold around the kitchen sink. The landlord eventually made some repairs, but they were unsatisfactory. We gave the landlord a letter stating our intent to move out in 60 days due to his neglect. Does anyone know if I have a legal case to get out of my lease, or must I stay for the next 7 months?

I work for Chrysler Corp. and have a Chrysler vehicle with automated payroll deductions for car payments. Despite not being laid off or losing time at work, I am constantly harassed by Chrysler Financial for non-payment. This has also happened with a previous Chrysler vehicle. I have written letters, contacted payroll, and sent copies of check stubs, but the harassment continues. They call me every morning at 8:15 a.m., even on Sundays, and I work an afternoon shift. Can I sue them?

I was an anthropology student at California State University Sacramento and graduated in Spring 2011. I entered the graduate program in Fall 2011 but dropped out due to personal reasons. My financial aid never went through, causing the school to accrue debt against me. Despite graduating before the debt was incurred, I never received my undergraduate degree. Can the University hold my degree as collateral, and is there any legal evidence that supports this practice?

I stayed at a hotel and had to use my cleaning supplies to clean the room before I could put my things in. After a few days, my elbow started hurting, and doctors diagnosed me with a bacterial infection from the hotel. I've been in the hospital for two surgeries and still can't go home. What legal actions can I take to sue for hospital stay, pain, and suffering?
