TESTING Glossary 2009

Test 1

Permanent alimony - You may be able to get permanent alimony if you are financially dependent and will most likely not be able to support yourself without alimony. You may get alimony for the rest of your life or until you remarry. Either party may apply to the court after the parties’ circumstances.

Test 2. Notice what happen with these words: note, account

The Rent Security Deposit is the law that tells a landlord what he or she must do with your security deposit when you are forced to move out of your apartment because of fire, flood, evacuation, or because the property you are renting has been condemned.  The law states the following:

  1. The landlord must return your security deposit and interest within 5 days after you move out.
  2. The landlord must make the security deposit available to you during normal business hours for 30 days in the city in which the property is located.
  3. Within three business days after the owner of the property is notified about the fact that you must move out, the owner must give you written notice stating where or when your security deposit will be available. This notice should be delivered to you personally or by mail to your last known address. The notice should state where and when your security deposit will be available.
  4. The owner must send a duplicate copy of this notice to the relocation officer if the city has one. If the city does not have a re-location officer then the duplicate notice should go to the city clerk.
  5. If your last known address is the address of the property from which you were displaced then the owner of the property must also post the notice at each outside entrance of that property.
  6. If you fail to ask for the money within 30 days the owner must re-deposit it in an interest-bearing account in the same bank from which it was withdrawn.
  7. If you move back into the property you must immediately return to the landlord one-third of the security deposit. You must return another third within 30 days of the date that you move back in, and the last third within 60 days from the date that you moved back in.

note: If you do not re-pay the security deposit, the owner may bring an eviction action against you for nonpayment of rent.
