I bought a home with an old roof in May 2021. I had only one option for HOI as a result. The company was provided a copy of the 4 point inspection and agreed to issue the policy. I was buying the property with the intention of doing some renovations in the next year or two, but didn't have the... Read more »
What are they saying is the reason they are cancelling; did you give them false information of any sort?
I’m renting to own a house for 10 years but the landlord wants me to pay the taxes and I’m having to totally remodel the house because it was gutted just wondering is that how it’s supposed to be or is he responsible for the taxes until I own it
The answer entirely depends on the terms of your contract. Take it to a lawyer for review.
That being said, there are very few "rent to own" deals where someone isn't getting ripped off. Sometimes it's the "seller," sometimes it's the "buyer."... Read more »
1. I would have never hired a company to subcontract. Can they do this if it wasn't in the contract?
2. The original window installation company continues to refuse to provide a lien release from the subcontractors. Again, and again.
Is there any way to force them to... Read more »
If the contract does not prohibit it, they can use subcontractors. Why do you need a lien release? Have they filed a lien? It is unlikely that a window replacement contract would be a large enough percentage of your property value to qualify for a mechanics lien. Why have they sued you? Not enough... Read more »
I have been making payments on a contract for deed only to find out that the person recieving payments is not the deeded owner. Would this be considered felony fraud? Should I contact the sheriff?
You can try to get the Sheriff to get a Warrant, but it is doubtful. Put together proof of payment, the Contract, and the actual owner's Deed. More than likely You are left with suing your contracting party for breach of contract, fraud, and any other appropriate causes of action. Hire a... Read more »
I have a contract for deed from someone who is buying property on a contract for deed already from someone else. Meaning the person who I pay is not the deeded owner and they do not have their contract for deed recorded. Is this legal in Tennessee? Can someone who is not the deeded property owner... Read more »
No. You should speak to an attorney. This could turn out badly.
I was told I would have like material and clearly cheaper, trimming coming undone, closet doors falling off, shingles on roof are buckled, upstairs bathroom leaking downstairs, clumps of putty where it should be smooth, dry wall is easily damaged.
To fully answer your question, the contract would have to be reviewed. On a general basis, a contractor typically provides a warranty and so the issues you have described would likely fall within the warranty. Independent of any warranty, if the contractor did not complete the scope of work or... Read more »
I signed a lease renewal also sent a updated renters insurance and now they're emailing saying that they made a error that rent will be 600 more then expect but they will take off 200 and a free carpet clean I'm only 26 stay sodo downtown Orlando i never had this happen and don't... Read more »
It appears that they may not be able to enforce their demand for $600 more. You signed the lease and, apparently they received it so I would argue that they are stuck with you.
i have paid all rent and fees up until end lease date and they want to automatically renew
Depending on your contract, there are usually clauses that automatically convert it into a monthly term contract. Additionally, they often all require a notice to be given to avoid that extension. While your specifics may differ, you need to contact a lawyer to review your contract more in... Read more »
If a moving party files a Motion and can not show for hearing what is proper procedure? Notice of cancellation with reasons or Withdraw the Motion itself? Is Motion basically withdrawn with a Notice to cancel anyway?
Either way Wil be fine.
What type of real estate agent would I need? What type of lawyer would I need?
It is important that you retain an attorney that is well-versed in forms of propery ownership to confer with you about the form you ownership you mentioned. For example, it may be more advantageous to own the property as an LLC with an operating agreement that provides for addressing common... Read more »
7 years ago in Alabama I bought a car through the dealership and they sold the loan to AlabamaTelco Credit Union. AlabamaTelco is now Avadian Credit Union. I never stepped foot in the credit Union and was never a member. I lost my job and returned the car to Avadian. Now almost 6 years later... Read more »
General statute of limitations for debt collection actions on a contract is six (6) years. If it is a credit card or open line of credit then it is potentially three (3) years. It seems likely that your loan would be a six year statute. Now because your loan has been transferred between different... Read more »

I sold my vessel to a guy. He broke our contract owing me $5200. He put down $400, but never made another payment. I've got everything signed. He owes $5200.
What steps shall I take to get the vessel or my money?
You would sue the guy, and get a judgment. You might be able to obtain a writ of execution to allow you to seize and sell the boat. Or, with such a writ, you might be able to seize and sell other property belonging to him, check with an attorney.

I would like a lawyer to explain to me in layman's terms what's really going on with my grandfather's estate and my inheritance
Hire a competent CO attorney to look at the documents and give his assessment. You may need to examine the Probate Case File at Court, or at least call the Clerk.
This person has paid about 40% of multiple other invoices over multiple years of off and on consulting from 2016-2019. His payments became less frequent and consistent. He repeatedly promises to pay then does not. This debt is under a contract and is now about two years old. I have attempted... Read more »
You need to decide, right now, if this justifies the expense of hiring a lawyer. Time is your enemy. The longer you wait you might lose the right to sue. Go see a lawyer or 2 and see what you will need to spend, and discuss whether a judgment in your favor will be collectable.
We had 4 fixtures that didn’t work before we signed .. now one blew out and sparked and owner says we have to replace all.. other units had led put in prior but not our unit.. I don’t think we should have to pay for fixtures and man lift to replace when we haven’t really been able to use... Read more »
You are right. Your obligation is to maintain the status quo. If you keep a good walk-in record, you should point that out to the landlord.
My money back based on the video he watch I told him we didn’t want it then he tells me he will give to me for free then charge me for it under other
Misrepresentations made during the sale of a car by a dealer should be reviewed by a consumer rights attorney. Most will give you a free consultation to determine if you have a strong enough claim to seek a remedy. Good luck.
When she passed I notified a loan company and credit cards, sent death certificates and was told they'd be forgiven. But now I'm getting calls and letters from them saying that they weren't forgiven and need to be paid. Since she only had a small insurance amount and the bills... Read more »
Don’t pay anything else. Lithe insurance money is yours and passes outside the estate. If she had nothing, there is nothing to pay them with and you are in no way liable for any of her debts.
