The contract requires officers to repay the department for academy training costs if the officer leaves for another police department within one year of resigning from LAPD.
In re Acknowledgement Cases, 239 Cal. App. 4d 1498, decided August 12, 2015, is this contract still enforceable?
Yes it is. Why wouldn't it be?
The training you receive in the academy is an education that makes you far more employable in any other law enforcement capacity so the employer is not required to pay you for that time.
Good luck to you.
I was the live in caregiver for my mother who is buying a home in a 60+ trailer park. However, my mom passed away recently and now I am the heir to the property. The HOA has told me that because I am only 54 years old I cannot live in my house, I cannot rent it out to anyone whether they are 60+ or... Read more »
I believe the HOA may be correct. The Fair Housing Act exempts communities intended for people 55-62 or older to discriminate based on familial status. It appears that your mother’s trailer park caters only to residents who are over 60 years old. You have two options: either (1) find someone you... Read more »

What would I have to report to the IRS or does his total earnings affect me in any way? I am aware I’m... Read more »
Although not mandatory, I hope you have this agreement in writing. The 10% payment in exchange for co-signing a lease is considered in the broad definition of gross income. So, the short answer is yes, it must be reported to the IRS. Your friend may also have an obligation to issue you a 1099, so... Read more »
This is quite a broad question to answer. If you have specifics, it would be easier to identify if the loan may be void or voidable.

Roof leaks are covered under warranty by solar company. I have been in contact with them for a few months but they have yet to bring anyone out to have a look at the roof. Is there anything I could do about this situation?
Sorry for your issues. There are many options.
To me, since you do not want massive damage you get it fixed asap AND
make sure those who ARE fixing make a record that it was in fact the
SOLAR people's fault. THEN later, imho, you go after the solar folks.
Good luck with it...

Contract was recorded more than 2 years after purchase, now solar company is saying the solar has only been used for 4 years. We are selling the home and we're going to payoff the lease. The contract is 10 years old and they are charging as if it's been 4, resulting in a 10k Increase in payoff.
there's no actual question posted for attorneys to answer. if the home is being sold, talk to the real estate broker about this as they will likely be able to explain this. or you will need to hire and pay an attorney to review the documents and have a full consultation regarding options.

Yes, if you own the house jointly and it has increased in equity since buying it, you should ask for your 30% of the equity in the home. He may be offering to pay you for the months you've lived there to try and avoid having to give you your fair equity in the home. Of course, if the equity... Read more »
