Power of Attorney for Elderly Parent
My mother suffers from bi-polar depression. When my father was alive it was not a major problem. He passed away in Feb. and her condition has gotten out of control. When she is up she goes on huge spending sprees. She is now in her down period and has not left the house for months. My brother and I have power of attorney which goes into effect ”when her doctor determines she can no longer make decisions for herself”. How do we get the power of attorney to go into effect if we cannot get her to go to the doctor to be checked out? She needs help immediately. She has lot about 50 pounds in the last 4 months. We need to get control over her health and finances ASAP. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Notification of Rent Increase
I live in an apartment and am under a lease until July 1st. When I moved in, the building was under different ownership but since I was under a year lease my rent did not change when new owners took over. Those around me were under month to month leases but were forced to sign leases or face increasing rent. Everyone else’s rent increased by around $100 per month at that time. Since my lease is up in July, I want to know what my rent is going to be so I can decide whether or not it’s worth it to stay. My land lord says that he cannot give me anything in writing until June 15th, but if I want to move out I have to give 30 days notice. He said he could give me a range but he couldn’t confirm anything until June 15th. How can I make a decision without knowing my future rent before I have to give notice? This company has a history of bad dealings and ripping people off, that’s why I wouldn’t trust a range or anything about the rent unless it were in writing. Is it legal for him to wait so long to tell me what my rent will increase will be? Is there a limit to how much it could increase? The range he’s considering will raise it almost $100 per month. Is this legal?

Dogs Without Agreement
We live in my apt. building on a month to month basis. When I asked to get a dog, the manager said no. She is now telling the neighbors they must get rid of their dog as well, since they purchased it after moving in. Can she really enforce these rules even though we have no written agreements?
