I am unable to to talk to jarl Maven about becoming thane. I can't talk to her at all. Anyone know why?

I cant talk to her of laila (before and after any civil war quests)

If you bought the house and went to visit it than its bugged and you cant talk to the Jarl the best thing to do is go back to a save just before you bought the home and start the quest chain then buy the home but wiat until you finish the quest before visiting it.

I think I have the title and I definitely have the Housecarl, but I didn't get the weapon that the wikis say I should have. I got 2 different weapons at 2 times near the end of the quest chain, but not the Blade of the Rift. Am I not Thane? o.O

FWIW: I've done too much to revert back...I'll just have to svck it up.

I am Thane of Riften but have no Housecarl. I am on the 360.
