Moved into an apartment a week ago and immediately encountered German roaches and no air conditioning. Despite multiple attempts to get the issues resolved, the air conditioning remains broken, and someone only sprayed for bugs on Thursday. What legal steps can be taken to break the lease without penalties, given the apartment's uninhabitable conditions?

Does a creditor filing a motion to change venue, due to the current venue being improper, put a stay on the rest of the bankruptcy proceedings? If so, where can I find the rule or law to cite it? A creditor filed such a motion, and shortly after, the Trustee filed a motion to dismiss for a late monthly operation report, setting a hearing. I thought the motion to change venue would essentially put a 'stay of proceedings' on the entire case until the court decided if it had jurisdiction to move forward. Does this stay apply to all proceedings, including creditor meetings and the initial debtor conference?

I received a letter from a collection agency regarding a security deposit dispute with a former landlord in Boulder, Colorado. I disputed the claim as the charges are excessive and I did not take before and after pictures. What will the collection agency do now? Will they sue me in small claims court, and if so, how can I defend against this? Would they win even if they don't have pictures or any evidence, as it's just their word against mine?

I am part of an S corp in Florida with $60,000 in debt. The President, who was the sole income source, has died, and I am a VP in name only due to disability. The other VP is 82 and not an income maker. Are we liable for the debt when we dissolve the company, as neither of us can pay it?

Do I need to talk to the facility first before contacting a facilitator, or can I just go see a facilitator even though I signed a paper stating I would go through a FFA?
