Can my landlord legally keep my security deposit if he is going through pre-foreclosure? The lease is up at the end of this month (Nov. 30). He already had a realtor come into my home and now the door has a lock box with the key inside on it. Rent is due by the 6th, tomorrow. What are my legal rights here in Orlando, Florida? Please advise.

I am selling a house in Columbia, SC, and was supposed to close tomorrow, but I just found out I didn't have a deed of distribution done. My husband died in 2003, and we have a daughter who is 12. I was told I have to go through court, which could take 8-10 months. I am no longer living in the house and may foreclose in November due to non-payment. What can I do to keep the sale of the house as planned for Friday?

I have been divorced for 13 years after a 25-year marriage. My ex-husband is now retired from the US Postal Service and receives a disability check from the military. I have never received alimony from him but was told I might be entitled to part of his retirement funds and/or his disability. Is this true, and if so, what can I do to get this?

I was charged with failure to yield right of way. I was sitting at a stop sign, looked both ways, and proceeded when I thought the traffic was clear. I began to turn left and was struck on the side by a vehicle I did not see that came from a parking area to my right. Is there a defense to this? My insurance paid for repairs to both vehicles involved. Is there anything I can plead to mitigate this charge?

I purchased a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am 2 years ago from Credit Connection Auto for $12,000 and still owe $4,500. I recently discovered it was wrecked, had the whole front end replaced, and was also flooded. I want to return the car because it will cost more than $1,000 to fix and make it run correctly. Am I stuck with it?
