I moved into a rented property two months ago, and I have just received a letter from the managing agent saying that they will be inspecting my property on 13 June. If I'm not in to let them in, they will let themselves in using the key that they keep in the office.

First, do they have the right to do this? I feel extremely uncomfortable about them coming in and nosing around when I'm not here. Not that I've got anything to hide, and I'm quite happy for them to carry out an inspection - just do it when I'm here!!!

And second, what are the legal questions surrounding the fact that they keep a key, to the property that I pay rent for, in their office where any staff member can access it? Surely that's a breach of my civil rights?

Please help!!!!

Do you think a case between zellers and a parent of a 15 year old who took a slurpee from zellers without paying would end up in court if the parent refused to pay the $476.08 settlement amount requested by zellers lawyers. The child is not being charged and is doing community service for the crime. ( Made an contract agreement )

My dad was a California resident, and died unexpectedly, but he left a handwritten Will leaving 100% of his estate to his four children. He had a surviving spouse, so I'm assuming his estate will only consist of his 50% interest in the community property (which I think pretty much applies to all of it). He also tried to leave 100% of his 401K to his four children, but from what I understand, 401Ks are not generally probated. Will the value of the 401K be shown in probate, effectively giving the children the value of the 401K, or are the kids just out of luck? In other words, will the children receive the value of the 401K money even though the actual 401K is not transferred to them?

I have a 16-year-old friend who lives in another state. His parents are going through a very messy breakup (threats and blackmail and the like from the father), and his mother wants me to let him stay with me for a few weeks until she gets moved out, so he doesn't have to go through it. She says she will give me a notarized permission statement, or something like that. His father probably will not approve. Can I be legally charged with anything if I do bring the boy here for a while?

Credit bureaus have been contacted after customer refused to pay for agreed upon services (issued a check on a non existing account). I want to lien the house so if she sells it, or tries to refinance it, I'll be paid.

I may have to go to court next month and take a lie detector test, and I am very nervous about passing it, because if I lie I may send someone to jail.

In a conversation on a public messageboard my younger sister, who is in high school, said her principal was a "b*tch". Her school subsequently suspended her for two days. Nobody in her school was informed that it was against school policy to insult teachers on public messageboards. She did this on own home computer, not at school. I think that this is unfair. What do you think?

One girl got paid £600 and she was there for less time than me.
Obviously i was slightly peed off but my old boss said "no you don tget it because you left".... is she right? I worked for Devon County council... if that helps :)

First of all, I live in Northern Ireland, I'm 18 and I have never been in trouble with the police before. I have a provisional driving licence.

For a joke I moved this persons car from the front of my college to a car park quite literally around the corner. When we were leaving class my friend gave me his keys and said "Go and move his car for a joke" or words to that effect. For a couple of minutes he couldnt find his car, but then I gave him his keys back and told him where his car was.

I genuinely thought he would find it funny (everyone else did) but unfortunately that was not the case. He went to the police and is claiming I stole his car and took it for a joyride. Rather than wait for the police to come to me, I went into the police station and explained to them what happened. They where quite nice about it and I have a formal interview on Wednesday.

Any advice would be really appreciated, Thanks :)

I'm trying to figure out what is going on here....A lady left a message on my house machine last nite just saying her name and number and that she had sent me a few letters to try to get in touch....I haven't received any letters but she has my name and phone number...she didn't say anything about herself but I found out online that she is a lawyer that works in a law office in Cleveland (I don't know anyone from Cleveland and it is about 2 1/2 hrs away), and I could not find any cases that she was listed on. Anyone know why she would be contacting me?

I took out a $500 payday loan with with repayment terms of 6 payments. I was a day late with making that payment and now they are telling me I must pay the balance in full by Monday or I will be prosecuted for passing bad checks, it was my understanding that they were not allowed to do that unless the check came back on a closed account (which it is not). I am trying to the best of my ability to pay these people everything I can, which is slightly more than the agreed upon payment, and that isn't good enough for them, is there anything that can be done?

The recent sting operation by a TV channel brings forth the dangers of collusion between prosecution and defence lawyers to dilute a case favouring a rich accused. This is actually happening all over India and the poor litigants are the sufferers. Cases involving the rich are not put forward for hearing for decades together. Policemen along with defence and prosecution lawyers try to dilute cases. They harass the poor victims. A case involving a corporate executive, who planned a murder of a rival. though decades old, is still to come for hearing. Builders with the help of both lawyers delay the hearing of cases filed by flat purchasers. Victims suffer a lot financially and mentally and at last withdraw cases.
