I moved into a property 4 days ago and paid the landlord $1,500 in cash for the first and last month's rent and a security deposit, as per her ad. She has not provided a receipt or a copy of the lease, and I have had to call the police twice due to harassment and an issue with the door lock. She has now given me a 3-day notice to pay rent or vacate, despite already paying. What should I do?

I am representing myself in a trust contest. I anticipate that opposing counsel will object to every question and disrupt the deposition process. The deposition is likely to take two or three days. My plan is to video the proceedings and, if opposing counsel makes it impossible to conduct a proper deposition, move to continue the deposition to another day and file a motion to have a referee at the continuance. Is there any other practical solution to halt opposing counsel's continual interruptions during the deposition?

After a restraining order hearing against me, is this when the DA will press charges for a mutual fight where I ended up with a black eye, but I ran from the scene due to fear and a possible concussion? My husband has video evidence of me biting him, making me appear as the aggressor. Additionally, I am concerned about the potential impact on my massage therapy license and the possibility of criminal charges due to California's no-drop policy on domestic violence.

I'm suing my ex-landlord for my deposit in small claims court in Las Vegas, NV. They kept $1,900 out of $2,700, citing fraudulent charges. I've sent a demand letter and am now writing a complaint. How detailed should the complaint be? Should I itemize the disputed charges, and how do I request court costs? Additionally, can I subpoena the original receipt from a business they claimed to have used for a service, as the one they provided is doctored?

I had a mechanic work on my car and he caused more damage. He changed my alternator, and now my car won't start at all due to a spark caused by not unplugging the battery. What should I do, and what are my options for resolving this issue?
