What is our recourse?
The park owner is not required to allow someone to move in because they are credit risk. You would need to find a new buyer if the buyer is not willing to prepay the rent.
Last year we sold some land. It was under the stipulation that we would knock of 20,000 if they deeded 3 acres back to us. This would occur after the sale and when we could get those acres surveyed. This agreement all took place through text. Now they will not deed us the land back. They say we... Read more »
If the other party has an attorney, it is advised that you hire an attorney to review the transaction and the text messages in question.
The transaction took place in Portland Oregon and I live in Florida. If they had followed the process of checking an ID they would not have leased the product.
And you want to know what to do about it? Since you somehow found out about it, you should immediately inform them, in writing, that it was not you who leased the product. If they eventually file suit against you about the lease, they might do so in Oregon. In that case you will need an Oregon... Read more »
It could sometimes depend on what the entities require, based on their own policies and practices. Ordinarily, the legal instrument establishes a power of attorney. However, some institutions, such as banks, will still request the letters "POA" included for financial transactions such as... Read more »
My friend is starting up a business, he’s doing good and now needs a shop to work. He does not have the credit to lease a place. He asked me to help him lease in exchange for 10% of earnings. 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 »
15. Arbitration. Any disputes resulting from this Agreement or any dispute resulting to Select's home service contract service
shall be construed and enforced under the laws of the State of New Jersey. You hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the courts

Arbitration clauses are matters of contract. In your case it's a "Home Warranty Contract". If the conduct of the party wanting to enforce the arbitration clause against you amounts to a material breach, then the court won't enforce the arbitration clause. A good remedy for a... Read more »

I want to hire an artist to draw art for me. I plan on printing and selling this art. Legal contracts are very scary and long. Can I just write my own using plain English? Example: I write on a Word document or email "I pay artist to give me art. I will reprint and sell this art." Will... Read more »
The agreement for a work-for-hire need not be elaborate. But it should be in writing, dated, and clearly state (1) what work is the subject, (2) the names of the artist and the hiring party, and (3) that the work is a "work for hire."
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.
There are several ways to challenge the validity of a loan. If there are missing terms, such as the number of years to pay or the interest rate the lender... Read more »
I am a physician and my contract states that my quality bonus, "to be paid within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year". It is now May 4th which is 114 days after the end of the year. Wondering if this is breech of contract and would I have options to get out of my... Read more »
Best for you to consult an attorney in person, for review of the contract. Sounds like the employer is in breach, but it depends on whether a "quality bonus" is mandatory or discretionary. If the employer is in breach, the first step is for you to request compliance, and if they refuse,... Read more »
My son signed a contract to sell 4 inherited properties for far undervalue. His agent never had him sign a listing agreement or listed on MLS, now he found out the buyer is her broker. Same agent has contract to sell 1 of the properties for 50k more and has put signs on others. She insists a... Read more »
Your son needs to consult with a real estate lawyer immediately. This is not something you are going to be able to resolve with advice on the internet because a lawyer needs to review the contract and any other documents he signed.
Need Advice and Attorney: We also need to explore options of filing a lawsuit for miss-classification for both of us. We're in the insurance industry, we're 1099 Independent Contractors but we're treated and controlled as employees. We currently live in CA, the main company is in... Read more »

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...
I have a CS order that state medical cost are to be split 50/50. I am looking for a judgement for repayment.
You may be able to do that. Contact your local court to inquire about the process.
We have no verbal or written agreement for when he should get his stuff. Also I have only promised to keep his things while we were together. We broke up July 2021 and it is now May 2022. I also told him on August 12th, 2021 to come get his own things and that I was no longer helping him.
To be absolutely safe, an eviction action would allow his thing to be throw out legally. Some people would send a written letter and give a deadline of the date to come pick things up, or they would be thrown away. But that is risky. Anybody can sue anyone for anything. If you just throw his... Read more »

If this property is sold, the proceeds would be split 50/50. we both signed and dated this agreement at the time. it was also added to the divorce decree as well. would this be considered...

It certainly sounds so, and if it was incorporated (but not merged) into your judgment of absolute divorce then it would be enforceable by contempt proceedings under the judgment as it now has the force of a court order. Obviously, without reviewing the agreement for any other issues, no lawyer... Read more »
I was given a locker with a bunch of stuff still in it. Among the papers and tools I found a certificate of shares for a company.
Yes, you can probably sell the shares.

Assuming all facts to be true and correct and these are the only facts, yes, you would have a case v. Dealer and v. Holder of the contract, here, you've described them as a 'financial institution.'
