I moved into a room in December 2019 without a security deposit or lease, paying $500 monthly. During COVID, my adult son came to stay, and the landlord demanded $1100 for two rooms. I have made multiple complaints about ceiling leaks and lack of extermination, spending over $100 monthly on pest management. The property is not a legal sublet. The landlord has promised to fix issues for over two months but has done nothing. What rights do I have as a tenant in Pennsylvania, especially regarding proof of payment and out-of-pocket costs for pest management, against a landlord who threatens me and won't fix issues?

How do I sue someone who owes me money, and what is the process from start to finish? How much does it cost, and can the person who owes me pay for the court fees if I win? Do I add interest, and what is the minimum amount of money that's owed to sue someone?

I fell after grabbing an unstable handrail on the right side of the stairs as I was walking down, causing me to lose my balance and fall off the stairs. This happened in Colorado. I sent a text to the renter I was visiting asking for information on the homeowner's insurance and requesting the landlord's contact information, but I haven't received a response. I would like to go to a doctor. What steps should I take next?

Thinking about purchasing two lots to build mobile homes to rent individually to my brother-in-law and sister. The source of funding would be from a self-managed IRA (via third party administrator). Is this allowed given that the tenants are relatives? What are typical charges incurred by the owner? HOA, Property Taxes, and Insurance? Assuming each unit will cost $120,000 (all cash purchase) for land and manufactured home, what price range would the landlord/owner insurance premium be?

I need help with a landlord issue. I just moved into a property in Texas in September and have been facing maintenance and upkeep issues from day one. I believe the landlord entered the property illegally and I would like to void the lease. What are the terms of the lease and what steps should I take?

I hired someone to do a bathroom remodel. It’s been 2 months of no shows and broken promises. I have managed to get my money back but he has left misc tools and a brand new shower and door in my garage. I have asked him numerous times to get it picked up. It’s actually in my way to get to other things that I need. What can I do? Sell it? What state are you in? It matters because laws vary by location. What steps have you taken so far? Anything else you want the Lawyer to know before I connect you?
