My a/c unit only works some of the time and my apartments will only come out and fix it temporally. I end up calling them out at least once every week or two. I have been dealing with this same problem for 4 months and I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to get them to permantly fix the problem. It needs a new unit but they don't want to spend the money on a new one. I'm having a difficult pregnancy and have been put on bedrest. I can't sit in an apartment that is 95 degrees all day every day. I don't know what to do, can anyone help?

Ok after you interview for a job and about 3 days later.. they call 2 of your references to ask about you, does this mean they are most likely going to hire you or are really considering you for employment?

I'm curious to see if anyone knows the statistics. We've recently accepted an offer on our home that fell through. We now have the home under contract for the second time. My realtor told me only 1-2% of transactions/offers don't result in a closing. I'm curious to see if he's correct. Should I start packing my bags?

Thanks

how do estate agents use a reference you have gained from your previous landlord?

Do they just ring the pervious landlord to confirm the reference or do they do other checks?

Come on. Has anyone out there done this recently without paying over 10 grand in closing to some greedy mortgage broker or bank?! I have good credit. I just need to reduce my mortgage payment to about $1000. It's currently at $1500. I could do interest only as I don't plan on staying in the house longer than the next 10 years. TIA for any help!

Does anyone know if they offer home loans that cover the cost of the house, as well as renovations? I am not looking for 2 seperate loans. Just one single loan.

My concern is for our small children. I'm finding scorpions of all sizes at least every other day. We have had professional exterminators treat the house, but to no avail. I almost stepped on one last night, and I don't even want to think out the fact that it could have been one of the kids who almost stepped on the scorpion! I am ready to move out today but with 3 months left in our lease, is this possible without any backlash from our landlord? My husband thinks I'm going overboard, but I can't handle the danger that these little critters pose to my kids and possibly to me being 6 months pregnant. I have reviewed pictures of various scorpions that call Arizona home, and I am almost positive that the scorpions I am seeing are Bark Scorpions, which are the most dangerous. HELP!

premium will increase as mush as 4%. Let me understand this. Allied will give me a check for the items taken then make me pay for the check over time....Isn't that like being vicimized twice? Why would my premium increase for using my homeowners insurance? Isn't that what I've been paying them for every month for the last 3 1/2 years?

Hope you guys can help me out, here is my situation. I am 25 years old, I was 20 when I started my own business. The store did well for awhile but I ended up closing it up and I owed money to IRS. I have paid my income taxes I was behind on down to 425.00 and I checked my credit report and I have a tax lien on my report from 2005. I'm sure it's sales taxes from about 3 months where I didn't pay, I wanted to but I was dead broke. The lien was on the store itself and inventory in it but the store's inventory was sold right before the lien was filed so the lien is still on me. The problem is I don't know how much I owe, this was a small business and my taxes wheere usually like 300 a month so I'm figuring I owed about 900 to start with plus late fees. Who do I contact to work out a payment arrangment? & Should I keep my bank account?

As a small business it is important that I maintain a competitive edge with similar type businesses in my area. To do this I need to shop them, check their prices and their service. Can I write this off as research & marketing on my taxes, or is their any other fashion to go about doing this?

I have a (really) bad credit score. I earned it in the late 90s (right after graduating college '97 - '99). Seven years have gone by but nothing has dropped off. I realize I need to start writing all the letters to the credit reporting agencies and get it updated and accurate. But I wanted to see if there were any companies out there that would write the letters and "fight the battle" to get my credit report updated and corrected. The normal credit repair companies are not really helpful as I am looking to have outdated items removed versus consolidation or payoffs.

Any advice?

Thank you!!

The renter made changes to MY home with the assumption that he was going to purchase. After being unable to aquire a mortage after 5 years, and at this point on a month-to-month assumed rental agreement(nothing in writing for 3 years), the renter told us he was moving out. Per our lawyer, an eviction notice was served. Exactly one day before the closing on my home, which I could only sell for what I owed to the bank because the renter had incurred an unbelievable amout of damage to the property, a judgement was placed on my home for "improvements" he made while living there. Am I responsible to pay him anything? Also, the closing had already taken place-papers signed and checks drawn and sent-prior to the knowledge of this lein. 2 days later the lending bank has put a stop payment on the checks from the closing, because this lein is dated 1 day prior to closing. By the way it wasn't signed by the renter, just submitted by his lawyer. Can this be legal? What rights do I have?
