My husband and I just moved into an apartment where the complex knew gas couldn't be turned on due to a gas leak, and the utility company said the water heater wasn't installed up to code. We are unable to use the heat, the dryer, the stove, and there is no hot water. Can we terminate this lease or serve a 5-day notice?

I'm a 100% disabled Vietnam Combat Veteran living in a hotel. Recently, I received an email from my bank indicating that the hotel had withdrawn several hundred dollars from my account, which was suspicious as rent wasn't due until later. Due to my health conditions, including Degenerative Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Acute Anxiety, Stress, and PTSD, I avoided confronting the issue immediately. However, the situation escalated, leading me to call 911, and I was subsequently rushed to the emergency room. Upon my return, I was informed that I would not be allowed to stay at the hotel after my rent was up. What are my legal rights and options in this situation?

Need advice on how to handle a situation where a contractor was supposed to remove and rebuild a deck but only tore it down without starting the rebuild, and is now unresponsive. The customer paid $7000 upfront and is located in Missouri. The customer is also considering a small claims suit and wants to know the process and if it's easier than a regular lawsuit.
