The windows were bought and installed by Lowes in 2019. We just recently discovered they are all pulling away from our home at the top, allowing daylight, air, wetness in from the outside.

You indicated that numerous lawyers have told you they cannot be of help.

Send them written notification by certified mail that what they gave you was not the same as what you signed. If they seek to enforce terms different than what you signed, you can try to prove the different terms. But unless you kept a copy including your 'notes' and missing pages, you... Read more »

The sub-contractor was brought onto the job because he “needed work”. His duty was to rough in all electrical work. We are finding loose wires that are hot, wires that do not go to anything, and overloaded breakers caused by too many lights/receptacles on a circuit. We are now paying another... Read more »

Legally, yes you can sue the original electrician for not performing his work in a good and workmanlike manner.
But I would be very skeptical about the electrician having non-exempt assets from which you may be able to collect any judgment based on your statement that “he needed work.”... Read more »

My apartment claims that, based on their internal policy, they shorten our 12-month lease by a few days so that our lease can end on a Monday. For example, if your lease starts on May 25, 2023, a 12-month lease should end on May 24, 2024. However, they assert that according to their internal... Read more »

My friend has been working for a company for a little shy of a month now and thier employer's have never asked him to fill out an I-9 form. They have been getting paid (direct deposit actually) bi-weekly. I'm worried about him getting in trouble for it.
answered on May 23, 2023
Relax. The rules re: I-9 forms put penalties on the Employer, not the employee. If your friend is really worried, you can always download an I-9 from the IRS and fill it out to submit to the employer. Keep a dated copy. BUT if the employer is not asking for it and is not taking out employment... Read more »

Both parties are required to sign any lease, whether it is a renewal or a first lease. However, if there is a clause about a lease renewing, you would need to review that clause in your lease.
Often a renewal clause will state who (usually the tenant) has the option to renew. In such a... Read more »

answered on May 22, 2023
There is no way to address your question for lack of additional information. I recommend that you revisit the rental contract or sales deed (as may be the case) and peruse to identify what is said regarding future additional fees. If you signed a contract or deed that includes the possibility of... Read more »

Make sure that the storage facility cancels all accounts with you and puts you on a watch list.... Read more »
