Ptoblems with your landlord/lease? Call Joan!!!!
Joan helped us get out of a property in which nothing was being taken care of. We got out of the lease, got our security deposit back and some extra money as the landlady was breaking the law. Call Joan immediately if you have problems where you live. You will not regret it! Thank you Joan
