My boyfriend and I are going to be seeing an apartment on Wednesday with a few other people who want the same one. We're already going to have our applications and fees prepared ahead of time, but is there anything else we could do to just look amazing so we'll have a bit more of an edge? Thanks so much!

The credit application did not state I would not receive my deposit back if I did not take apartment. I lost my job and could not take apartment, owner refuses to return my deposit, what rights do I have, and how do I go about getting this deposit returned?

Today is the 4th and I was going to the bank today andr get money out to pay my rent. Well, the bank was closed today due to some big time flea market thing going on down town. The nearest bank other then that is 35 miles away and was to be closed 10 min after I found out that my bank wasn't open. On my lease it states u need to pay by the 5th of each month. So, if I pay it on the 6th this month will I get into trouble? I can pay it EARLY Monday morning. (BTW my landlord doesn't accept checks because they were getting a lot of bounced checks each month).

Hi! I'm a Jamaican citizen who was on a Work and Travel program last summer 2006 in North Carolina and before I left I filled out my tax return forms. The problem is I didn't receive my social security number although I did apply for one. My employer told me he would mail my tax return document and my social security card to me when he gets them. He also told me that he would file for my tax return in January 2007. I got the document that stated my tax return were filed in February but all now I haven't received my social security card. Is this going to prevent me from getting my tax return money? I'm currently a Permananet resident in Canada

I have lived in a fourplex in a 2bdrm apt. for the past three years, I have paid well over $5500 for electricity. After receiving an $1100 elec. bill, I had an electrician come out and check my lines only to find out that the lines have been spliced and I'[m paying in part fot the whole fourplex. My landlord told me good luck in proving it. I'm gonna need tath and then some. I live in long beach ca., and have checked with the elec co. and they say that they cna't help cause its from the meters to the house and that makes it a civil matter.
Help! This thing is driving me crazy!
