I live in an apartment in San Jose, California. Management has asked me to move furniture that is blocking walkways. The entryway to my apartment is 14' x 46" and I have a chest of drawers measuring 4' x 13.5" along the right side of the entryway, leaving a walking area of 33" deep for 4'. I am seeking legal advice on whether I need to comply with this request and what the legal minimum distance for hallways or passageways in an apartment is.

I have filed an eviction on a tenant in Florida. They have elected to send a written response within their 5 days. What can I expect to happen next, and what should I do if the tenant agrees in writing to leave before the trial?

My son is 15 and I found out he smoked weed through a vape a few times. We are in FL and it is illegal. He doesn’t want to snitch on the person that gave it to him. Should I find a way to make him tell me and report the person? Also, should I report my son in order for him to realize the consequences?

In an unlawful detainer case in California, I mistakenly filed a 'motion to dismiss' instead of a 'motion to strike'. The correct motion is not allowed after the response time has elapsed. Do I need to cancel the motion and file the correct one, and will this result in a default? Additionally, how should I handle serving documents without a court time stamp, and can I serve the attorney of record in a related restraining order case?
