You are not "required" to use an attorney to purchase real estate in Tennessee. However, I would encourage you to consider using a real estate agent. There may be issues you are not familiar with that a real estate agent may be able to help with. You also may want to use or talk to a... Read more »
I am buying a rent-to-own home in TN. I have not signed a contract. Can I be charged a late fee, for first late payment?
You may want to rethink this transaction. The landlord will probably keep whatever money you pay him and file a Detainer Warrant.
It’s a covered porch. Had to redo cement already. Is t building the roofline agreed to. I just want to cut my losses.
Your contract would control whether you can fire him. If his lack of performance has materially breached your agreement, then you may have options. Consult counsel to determine your options.
Did the creditor win a judgement against anyone with that name at my address or against specifically the person who made the contract. Can I be considered liable for the debt? Do I need to countersue this creditor for the mistake?
You must hire an attorney. Setting aside such a Judgment will be difficult and will require some very precise pleadings. You will have to go to Court and prove you are not the proper Judgment Debtor. Time is running against you.
The Plaintiff (Landlord) won the Detainer Warrant hearing by default as I could not appear due to my being hospitalized the night before the Hearing at 9 am. (However, I had no real defense, I was behind and had no way to come up with what I owed; 2 months rent, so I was expecting to lose at the... Read more »
If you are still in possession ten days after the Judgment, then the landlord can ask for a
Writ of Possession to issue. Usually the Sheriff will contact you to leave prior to force, but it is not required. Not going to Court probably forfeited your Security Deposit which you did not... Read more »
Hi! Im an independent contractor working in the audio engineering field. Back in November, the company managing production for a local venue asked one of their regular independents for recommendations for more people to bring in and I was asked to come in for one day. After completing the gig, the... Read more »
If The company asked you to do the work -and you did the work- you should be entitled to be paid. The fact there is not a writing shouldn't prevent you from making a claim.
You may want to formally write them sending an invoice for your services - and if that doesn't work you... Read more »
I have paid 85% of the contract price but stopped making payments because I want to sue the seller for the amount I’ve paid so far. Does the non disclosure of the liens by the seller open the door for breach of contract and refund?
The Bulk Sale Law is probably violated. But you will need to examine your potential defendant. If no disclosure was made, then breach of contract may not have occurred. Obviously you did not check this out prior to purchase. Hire a competent attorney to examine your choices.
Working condition. The dealership assured us they would have all repaired/restored to new condition under warranty. It has now been 6 months and they have not. I have been making camper payments all this time and it has sat on their lot waiting to be restored. I want my money back and to be... Read more »
I recommend hiring a competent attorney to file an Action in Chancery for Rescission. You will not make any money but you should mitigate your losses.
What is your question? Insurance will pay off lender not you, as you are not the owner.
Read your Contract, but it is doubtful that you have any contractual rights for a refund.
Hire an attorney for a consultation after reading your Contract which you agreed to. I doubt Equity... Read more »
Apparently both of you own the vehicle, so either owner can use the vehicle. The lender can come after either of you for the entire loan amount.
as part of the consideration of this sale, the contract between the parties is by reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof; the terms and conditions contained herein shall survive the closing and shall not merge upon the delivery of the warranty deed.
What is your Question? Each party's obligations continue pass the delivery of the Deed. What counts is the Title not the Contract of Sale.
Informed seller that we didnt want any tenants and notified realtors also. They are abligating to sign but the property is not available to move in. Seller will not amend this and will be incommunicado for 4 -6 weeks. We need to know what we can do.
Read your Contract verbatim. It may be worth the risk to walk away from it. Or you may want to purchase then file a Detainer Warrant. Consult with a competent attorney. The Grantee takes subject to the right of possession of the occupant, which may be a breach of warranty by the Grantor. But... Read more »
What is the question?
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.
1 insurance carrier owes us almost $20k going back to Labor Day 2020. Can we sue for that?
If the insurer had agreed to pay for your work as opposed to the insured then the insurer may be liable. If your contract/ agreement is with the insured- and the insurer is supposed to pay the insured- then your customer may have to pursue the insurer and your remedy may be against your customer-...

They did not allow me to obtain my license. This was 2011. What do I need to do to obtain my legal license for piercing? I do not want to go through an apprenticeship again since I still hold the knowledge. Hope you can help!
You must contact the Regulatory Agency in Nashville that handles such a License. They are the ones that issue the License.
If the licensee gives you permission to, then yes. But otherwise you are subject to the licensee claiming identity fraud.
A verbal agreement was made between me my roommate and landlord on when I must vacate do I legally have to sign a contract with my roommate still?
Sometimes people can remember verbal agreements differently -
If you signed a lease on the front end, it would be best to clearly set out in a writing how the lease ends as to you. This would include your roommate -as you don't want either making a claim against you later.
The term "as is" really relates to whether the seller is making any warranties or representations- not what is staying o going at the property. This really comes down to whether there is a paragraph in the contract that speaks to what is staying or not. A washer and dryer would... Read more »
