- Q. Is it legal for a landlord to cancel lease renewal due to a child turning 18 soon?
- A: Legal. This is a business decision that is very smart on the landlord's part. Once your daughter turns 18, she is a legal adult. That changes the nature of your lease from "mom and dad and child" to "3 adults" living in the apartment. You may not see it that way at all, but you are not the landlord. Good luck.
- Q. Help for eviction and abuse in Florida
- A: The way to "manage the situation" is for you to leave. Find someplace to go. Staying with someone who is abusive and destroys your property is ridiculous - any place is better than living in fear. There are shelters, etc. At some point your physical safety and mental health is much more important than anything else, and it sounds like you've past that point.
Good luck.
- Q. Can I prevent a body attachment for late payments on court-ordered debt to my ex-wife?
- A: Contact the attorney with a solid repayment plan. You MUST make the court-ordered payments; there's no getting around the court order. (Of course it went to your ex-wife.) Set aside your feelings about your ex; this is a legal obligation. Get on with it.
