  • Do I have to use my landlord's Intent to Vacate form? (Arizona)?

    I will be moving out of my current residence within the next 60 days. My lease with this landlord expired two years ago, and I have been living here on a month to month basis since.

    My landlord provides a form for me to fill out expressing intent to vacate, however, in his own customized form, it states that I promise to make the premises available for showings at any and all reasonable times whether I am home or not, and this form also agrees to pay a $50 fine for any showings I decline.

    However, per AZ landlord tenant law my landlord has to request entry and provide 48 hours notice. I strongly prefer this so that I can ensure the safety of my belongings before and after a showing, and can better accomodate relocating my dogs during potential showings. From what I can tell of the landlord's form, the way it is worded essentially waives this right to 48 hours notice and establishes a financial penalty.

    Because of this, I would much prefer to use my own form to express intent to vacate. Is there any potential repercussion for declining to use my landlord's form? (Note: my lease is two years expired and mentions nothing of this custom form)

  • Need Info on the Processing of Assault Charges in AZ?

    I was assaulted yesterday, and the assailant was taken into custody on scene, along with video evidence and a written statement of the account.

    A few hours later, I received a phone call from our local PD that he was being released from jail. Does that mean that charges are not being pursued, that or is it just part of the process? Because it was the city jail, I could find no record online with more info pertaining to the case

  • Sexual/Romantic Delusions with Dementia/Senility?

    Hey there. We currently care for my grandmother, who has dementia. Since her last stroke, she's become absolutely infatuated with finding a man, obsesses over anyone who gives her attention, no matter how innocent (doctors, nurses, neighbors, church members, etc) and has delusions that the other party is actually obsessing over her. She always feels that it is actually we, her, caregivers, keeping them apart, and is pretty resentful about it.

    She's 76, and consistently seeks out the attention of younger men who are extremely age inappropriate (between 20-40), and when they are nice to her, it seems to reinforce the delusion of her own sex appeal. While this may sound harmless or even humorous in theory, there are some serious, but delicate boundary issues in play. The people she comes onto are members of the church, the friends of her grandchildren (she actually put her tongue in the ear of my brother's 21 year old friend recently, leaving him feeling pretty violated and confused), and even distant family members. She really has no boundaries, and it's incredibly awkward for all involved. And when we attempt to address the behavior as inappropriate, it only reinforces her delusion that she and her victim of choice are star-crossed lovers, that the family is trying to keep apart Romeo and Juliet Style. The worst incident, however, occurred last month when my grandmother (on the other side) passed away, and she started coming onto my grandfather at the memorial, as he was a newly single man. She's been asking about him ever since, which is pretty rough on my still grieving family. It's very upsetting for everyone involved, and we're really struggling to educate ourselves and find the best possible way to deal with her behavior.

    I'd welcome a response from anyone who might better understand what is going on, or know some helpful ways to address/minimize it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • Appropriate Preliminary Steps For Addressing a Work-related Injury in Arizona?

    Hey there. I've been working with a retailer for almost seven years now. I try to be a great employee, and have never thought to file a claim about anything. But I'm having worsening wrist trouble, but am terrified to ask about work injuries because of the stigma attached. As soon as you mention anything here, even in question form, paperwork is filed, and it becomes a huge ordeal with a lot of negative attention attached. But I'm having serious trouble with my wrist that I know is work related. I'm curious to know how to address it in the most courteous possible way.

    My job requires a lot of heavy lifting and repetitive motion, and I've been noticing a chronic wrist pain that's slowly been growing in severity. It's particularly bad after long shifts, and will stay with me after I've clocked out, sometimes all night. I'm in my early 20s, and I can't even think of doing a push-up, or putting any real weight on the wrist now, and it's become a daily hindrance. My job's getting much harder because of it..

    So I know I need treatment. But I have no idea how bad the problem is, or how extensive the treatment will be. Should I have it checked out on my own, to see if a work claim is even necessary? Or do I HAVE to say something at work first, or risk losing the chance to file a claim later if necessary? I would only do so as an absolute last resort, hopefully it won't even get there. But I'm worried keeping work out of the loop about initial visits might compromise my workman's comp eligibility if it ends up being a worst-case scenario.

    Does anyone have any experience with the matter? Can you offer any advice? Any help is greatly appreciated, I'll be quick to award BA.

  • Legality of Brandishing a Stun Gun in AZ (Facts Only, No Opinions)?

    ***Question Specific to the State of Arizona*** Laws outside of AZ not pertinent. Commentary and opinion, not pertinent.

    Hey there. I'm familiar with many of Arizona's laws regarding firearms, but I know very little about non-lethal weapon laws, specifically concerning things like tasers and stun guns.

    My question is this: In Arizona specifically, when is it legal or illegal to brandish (not use, simply brandish) a stun gun? If a potential assailant approaches, can it be pulled out or sparked as warning? Must imminent threat be perceived, as required with a firearm? Could you provide any reputable sources for information regarding the subject?

    Please provide any links to pertinent statutes, if possible. Please note: I am NOT looking for opinion or commentary. I am looking only for legal information specific to the state of Arizona. Thank you for your time, I'll be quick to award a Best Answer.

  • How Long to Rebound From a High Balance Hit (Credit Score)?

    My credit is fairly new; I've had it less than a year. I've carefully watched my score climb up to 720ish in all 3 bureaus over the last few months. But this month, I put new tires on my card, which put my balance at 50% of the limit. I pay my balance off every month, but by the time I did so, the data had already been reported for the month, and I took a 40 point hit.

    I was a little dismayed to watch all of the progress from the last 6 months disappear overnight. I know it takes a long time to establish solid credit, but I enjoy monitoring the progress nonetheless. Assuming there are no further missteps, how long does it take to rebound from a high balance hit?

  • Physics: Photoelectric effect equation, understanding Planck's Constant?

    Charge of the electron = 1.6 x 10-19 C

    Charge to mass ratio for the electron = 1.76 x 1011 C/kg

    Photoelectric Effect Data:

    Light color - Wavelength (nm) - Electron Velocity (m/s)

    Red - 650 - 8.2E+05

    Orange - 600 - 8.5E+05

    Yellow - 580 - 8.7E+05

    Green - 530 - 9.1E+05

    Cyan - 485 - 9.5E+05

    Blue - 460 - 9.7E+05

    Violet - 420 - 1.0E+06

    Given all of the information above, how can I find the ejected electron kinetic energy vs. frequency of the incident photon? I think I need to use the following equation: KEmax = eVs = hf - W. But I really have no idea what to put in where. If anyone could walk me through an example using even just one of the colors above, I'd be incredibly grateful.

  • 9 week old puppy having seizures?

    We have a 9 week old puppy who, until today, appeared to be in perfect health. A few hours ago she had a full on violent seizure, suffered temporary bindness, was foaming at the mouth, and afterwards was almost completely unresponsive.

    We took her to the vet, and ruled out distemper or hypoglycemia. While we were there she had a second, less severe seizure. Her vitals appear normal, but it's been a couple of hours and she's still fairly unresponsive, and we're not sure if her vision is returning or not. We brought her to an emergency clinic, but won't be able to afford costly diagnostics like an MRI or overnight care. At this point we're not optimistic, but would really like to know what could possibly be triggering these kind of seizures in such a young dog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
