Pregnant and living in unsafe situation, what can I do? help!?
I found out i was pregnant in April. My husband and i have been flat broke with absolutely no income since August 2010. Because of that we were forced to move in with my Aunt, the only person who could/would take us in. the problem with that is that my aunt is a lazy hoarder who lives off of her unemployment. we have barely enough room for our stuff, let alone anything for our baby. The worst part is she "washes" dishes maybe once a month and cleans the kitchen maybe once every other month. Yes i said month. Her idea of dish washing is to quickly hand wash them (nearly always leaving quite a bit of food behind) and then cram the dishwasher as full as she can possibly get it and run it without soap because "dish-washer soap ruins dishes". Normally i would clean it myself, but every time i try i get yelled at for "doing it wrong" and told to stop. A few months ago i decided to clean the kitchen myself while she was gone (not easy considering the only cleaning supplies she has are Dawn dish-washing liquid and knock-off Ferbreez) I was pretty proud of myself, it took 4 hours and the results were amazing, well as soon as she got home she immediately his all of the cleaning supplies in her bedroom and told me to just let her do it. My husband recently got a job and we are saving money to be able to move out and into our own place, but won't have enough funds to do that until January or February i do not want my daughter in this house, but it looks like i may be forced to (I'm due in mid December) My question is, what can i do? are there any agencies that will help my whole family? i don't want my daughter taken away because of an unfit living situation, but we have nowhere else to go with her. i really need some advice. who can i call?

Is the electric on when you move into an apartment?
If tenant is chargeable for the payment of the electrical bill monthly, the previous tenant would have had the utilities turned off after they bumped off of the rental unit.. this is able to forestall them from obtaining extra bills and paying for a utility they not use. The former tenant may need transferred the utility to their new place wherever they emotional. You would be needed to decision the utility supplier and request the utility supplier to show the utility on in your name. If you're a brand new user of this utility with no history, you would possibly be needed to pay a deposit before the utility supplier would flip the utility on at your rental. You may decision as presently as you've got completed the applying and been approved for your rental unit. you'd give the utility a date you'd prefer to have the utility turned on. The utility would possibly need associate degree review to be created before them turning the turning on the utility. I hope this has been of some profit to you, good luck.
I suspect my roommate is pissing in my drinks. How should I handle it?
So about five months ago I found super-cheap rent rooming with some middle-aged guy I found via an ad on Craigslist. I moved in only to discover that my roommate (who's also my landlord) is a filthy scumbag who doesn't work and spends all day chain-smoking and living off whatever money he can steal from his elderly mother. Anyway, a couple months ago I noticed that whatever beverages I left in the fridge (juice, soda, etc.) would very quickly end up tasting flat and just, well... off. I also noticed that when I leave for work I come home to find the containers somewhat fuller than when I left. I even confirmed this once by marking the bottle with a felt-tip marker one morning. The reason I suspect there's urine in them is because one time I noticed that the ice cubes in my ice tray had sort of a yellowish tint to them. There were also several yellow droplets around the rim of the tray. I also know that my roommate, being the lazy bastard that he is, keeps a water jug in his room that he pisses in when he's too lazy to walk to the bathroom. I can totally envision him dumping it into my two liter bottles just to be an asshole. The extenuating factor in the whole mess is that my roommate is infected with Hepatitis C he contracted from a tattoo he received while serving a prison sentence for assaulting his adult daughter. The only reason I know this story is because he brings it up every chance he has as though he's proud of it or something. I understand that Hepatitis C can only be transmitted through blood to blood contact, but does he know that? Could he be actively trying to intentionally infect me with Hepatitis? What else could he be doing to my stuff when I'm not around? In ordinary circumstances I'd move out immediately, but rent there is absurdly cheap for the area and I can't really afford to live anywhere else. That said, how should I handle this situation? Should I confront him about it? Should I just invest in a mini-fridge for my room? I was also considering getting tested for Hepatitis C. Do you think that's even necessary? Is there some sort of lab I can take a bottle to to have it tested for urine? I'm somewhat reluctant to bring it up to him due to the fact that he's a very confrontational person and I'm afraid of what he might do if he feels cornered. Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Can I terminate a contract with a realtor?
Have you tried talking with your Realtor about your feelings and your opinion of his or her job performance? Sometimes a lot goes on behind the scenes to market a house that you may not be aware of. If a talk doesn't work then I suggest you contact the principal broker of the firm he or she is affiliated and tell them your concerns and that you're unhappy with the way your sale is being handled. Usually that will get some action and they may assign another agent to handle your sale. Failing that ask them to cancel your listing; they may or may not agree and whether or not they're obligated to do so would depend on the terms of your listing agreement and your state's laws. Most of us would prefer to terminate an agreement with an unhappy client rather than force them to continue to be in an agreement they're unhappy with. I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee for my clients which gives them the absolute right to fire me any time they're unhappy with my services or job performance. Breanne's answer may be correct in California but since we don't know what state you're in, it may not apply there. In Tennessee where I practice real estate there is no unilateral right to cancel a listing agreement. Timothy, the National Association of Realtors has no dog in this fight. The agreement is between a seller and a real estate firm. It would be governed by state law and local Association & MLS policy as well as any company policies and what's stated in the listing agrement.
Is my Landlord responsible for fixing my closet or am I?
your landlord is responsible
My adult son (28) who lives at home with us refuses to clean his room even when asked multiple times. It's not that he's rude about it, he just seems incapable of completing the task. What do I do?
It’s time to stop infantilizing him. If he doesn’t listen to you, nor respect you by following your wishes under your own roof, it’s because he doesn’t have to. If you follow through on any ultimatums you give him, then he’ll take you seriously and change. If he doesn’t change, he should leave. It’s for his own good.Many years ago, I once went out with one of those infantilised men. It was a truly horrible experience. I felt sorry for both him and his parents.Tell him once more that he must keep the room in good condition, and that from now on you’re going to invite a visitor on a weekly basis to come and look at it (can be a friend, or older, respected member of the family). He doesn’t listen to what you say, but shame might move him to pay attention to what an outsider thinks of the space he lives in.If they disapprove, then he must leave within one month. He can stay with friends, or get his own place.That way he will be free to live under his own rules and can do what he wants. Whether it’s living in a pigsty as he currently does, or tidying up, as he should as a responsible adult.THEN FOLLOW THROUGH!If he still doesn’t pay attention to what you’ve said, pack up his things into a series of boxes, and put them outside on the pavement. He will be upset, but he will be perfectly fine.A grown man who is pushing 30 years of age has - or will be able to quickly find - the resources to sort his life out.If he doesn’t, then his problems run way deeper than dealing with a messy room, and it may be time to talk to a medical professional about dealing with depression, as the mess may be a manifestation of that. But don’t let him use that as an excuse to live a clean life!EDIT:I recommended the weekly inspection suggestion specifically because I’ve SEEN it work before in a pretty extreme case of a person whose self-care and hygiene were out of control. They were embarrassed as hell when visitors came round and saw how they were living, and cleaned up their act completely, prompted by the shame. So I’m speaking from personal experience.
