I rented a retail store where a fire rendered the strip mall untenable. The local village authority closed all the stores, and the property has not been renovated six months after the fire. My lease term is from May 1st, 2010, to April 30th, 2013. Is my lease terminated, and do I have any right to go back into the property when it is ready? There is a Fire and Casualty clause in my lease stating that if the Premises are rendered untenable by fire, explosion, or other casualty, the Lessor may terminate the lease or repair the Premises within sixty days. If the Lessor does not repair the Premises within this time, or if the building is wholly destroyed, the lease shall cease and terminate.

I am being threatened about a payday loan I know nothing about. My wages are being threatened to be garnished for a $250 debt which has escalated to $1,000. I have asked for proof but have been denied. Can PDR Collections garnish my wages, and if so, how can I stop this from happening?

I have a permanent restraining order against me. When can I appeal it, and what are my legal options if I move to another state or during the waiting period?

I need an attorney for a court appearance in small claims court in the Bronx tonight at 6PM. I need someone to appear and either adjourn it or answer for me. Is this possible?

I filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in December and missed a rescheduled 341 meeting due to my lawyer's advice, resulting in my case being dismissed. The bank now wants to repossess my vehicles before my reinstatement hearing. My lawyer suggested hiding the vehicles, which I find uncomfortable and possibly illegal. What legal recourse do I have to delay the repossession until after the reinstatement hearing?
