I sold the business to my partner, he sent me an agreement and signed it that he would pay me over 4 years and stopped making payments. Can I do anything to collect that? I am a 78 years old and really need the money. I haven't done anything since Covid, but now he is back in business and... Read more »
Contact a lawyer who handles business disputes or a contract lawyer or a collections lawyer in your area----bring them the agreement signed by your partner and ask them the best way to enforce it, that is, collect the monies owed.
Hired a company to remodel bath/tub area. They put in wrong materials, wrong (cheap) hardware, total sloppy job. We had local manager come in, he said they have to tear out and start from scratch. Then we never heard from them again. Multiple phone calls to salesman/manager/corporate HQ have gone... Read more »
It sounds like you may have claims against the contractor - and defenses on the loan. It will be based (in part) on some additional facts and the contents of any written documents you signed. I suggest contacting a Wisconsin consumer lawyer for a free consultation to discuss your rights and options.
My boyfriend was given a lease renewal letter and told he had til the end end of this month to sign it. Today he received a letter saying that that has been rescinded and it is now going to be month to month. Out of 3 units he was the only one put on month to month and when he asked the landlord he...

Had he signed and accepted the offer prior to the rescission, there is likely nothing the landlord could have done. But if he rescinded before your boyfriend accepted the renewed term lease, your boyfriend in now likely going to be on a month to month. But that is not the end of the world - to... Read more »

I have a lot of intellectual property claims I would like to file.
I have businesses I would like to create.
I would like to know the legalities of them.
I want to find someone who is willing to work for a percentage.
You would be best served hiring a law firm that has both intellectual property attorneys and business attorneys. If your business involves entertainment, then you may need an entertainment lawyer as well. But most business questions can be answered by a business attorney. Best wishes.
Ive called them multiple time and they keep on giving my the run around with who handles the leasing questions. What should I do, everything is over the phone and I do not have a paper trail as they do not answer anything by email
A lease is a contract between the owner of property and the party who wishes to occupy or utilize the premises for the purposes and duration agreed to in the lease. The lease then is a contract. Inherent in every contract is the potential of one party to refuse, for whatever reason, unilaterally to... Read more »
I own a small waste management company in North Fla. Recently a piece of equipment was stolen prompting me to install GPS units on other assets.

You have a cause of action for breach of contract. You can start with a demand letter and hope to get into a negotiation.
There is a clause in our 3 year lease that’s titled “Vacating Upon Termination” and it states “Tenant agrees upon expiration of the term of this lease or upon early termination of the lease for any cause tenant will at once peacefully surrender the leased premises etc.” My question is if... Read more »
The answer will depend on the language of your lease. If you have a three year lease- without any provision related to termination prior to this then you have a 3 year lease. The language you provided doesn't sound like enough to allow for an early termination.
I was told not to come to hearing unless i objected to the sale. I thought the house was to be sold to me so i didnt go. The house was sold to some one else. I had no representation at hearing to counter offer any offers at that time. I have signed contract, sent earnst money which was cashed then... Read more »
The short answer to your question is: Likely not.
Sale of real property through the probate process subject to court confirmation is ALWAYS subject to overbid in the in-court auction. Your signed contract, despite the estate accepting your offer, is still considered an "offer"... Read more »
We signed a contract in January, paid a down payment and expected to close 2 weeks ago but the title company wouldn’t release the title until a problem with the pool was fixed. The seller has now resisted the house and is holding an open house on the property today. As of yesterday the title... Read more »
A seller cannot relist if you have a signed contract. However, you would have to sue to stop a sale to someone else.
No one here is likely to know the answer to that, based on the facts at hand. It could depend on the terms of service or any other user agreements. Good luck

You are saying you live outside Puerto Rico, you are a beneficiary and you consent to sell the house, but you do not want to fly to Puerto Rico, right? This is a question for closing company.
If you are not beneficiary, or you are but you do not consent, or you are not sure, you should... Read more »

She recently wanted out of the house, so I took over and moved in. The landlord knew what we were doing, she then contacted me 11 days later saying the... Read more »
The only way to get a legal opinion on this is by scheduling a consultation with an attorney, so that the attorney may review the original contract and discuss the facts with you. The landlord is stating you are in default. Why? It should be plain, by the terms of the contract, whether you are... Read more »
Mike is our landlord. Jeff rents the house from him and his name is on the lease. Jeff is subletting to me, and two other roommates. Jeff moved out but is still on the lease. We have been sending him rent money and utility money to pay the landlord and utilities (in his name). We found out today he... Read more »
It sounds to me like you need to get out in front of this with the landlord as well as the sub landlord. It might be a good idea to review the lease between Mike and Jeff to see if he had the right to sublet. It is likely that you may be evicted, and if the PEPCO bill is in your name, you might...

Whether it is ethical or it is breach of contract, you must revisit the agreement you signed with the school when you first enrolled. You should bring a copy of the agreement and consult an experienced contract attorney.
Before they even did anything with it which they didn’t do anything with it. Now they are saying they will sue me or put a lien on my home.
The only way an attorney can give you an opinion on this issue is by reading the contract. Therefore, schedule a consultation.

I'd suggest consulting with a civil rights attorney who is familiar with 1983 actions. Keep in mind you have a time limit to put the agencies on notice.

You definitely have to run very fast to talk to an attorney.
There may be some criminal issues as well.

I am sorry to hear what you have gone through. If you signed into the agreement as the result of attending Marriott's solicitation and sales presentation, Marriott should be responsible for the contract regardless who was the sales person. This is called vicarious responsibility. You should... Read more »
