Unless you have a signed contract with the gym in question, I don't believe you have to pay for a gym membership. I would suggest not paying membership fees. I doubt they will try to sue you for it. Good Luck.

To my knowledge, all of the codes in California are State (i.e. California) codes. The Code you referenced appears to be a section of the California Codes which references multiple State codes (i.e. 21660 through 21669.1). Hope that helps.

It is hard to tell from the information that you gave what kind of tenancy you have. Assuming that you have 30 days to move out, and that you gave the landlord a security deposit, the main question may be whether or not you get your security deposit back. Landlords love to find excuses for not... View More

It sounds like the Realtor was waiting for the best offer, before he/she accepted the financing. While that is not a very professional way to operate, I don't think you can sue the Realtor unless he/she went forward with the offer without telling you. I would call or write the Realtor and...

Unfortunately, without a signed agreement it is more difficult to convince a person to pay back money he or she owes you. The emails help somewhat, as that confirms that an agreement was reached, even if it was not signed. Also, the mere fact that he acknowledges the debt is helpful. I would... View More

If you have a lease, then you should be given 60 days notice to vacate the property. Only an original, signed Notice is valid. If you only received unsigned copies, they can be ignored. I would point this out to the Landlord and make him give you another full 60 days before vacating the... View More

I suggest you call the Life Insurance Company and ask them about the policy. There are lots of different forms of life insurance (short-term, long-term, etc.).

Unfortunately putting your girlfriend's name on a deed is like giving her a half ownership interest in the property. I don't think you can get her off of the deed unless you buy her out. Hopefully you can work it out with her, but be sure that you have a written contract drawn up... View More

Generally speaking, the only liens that are eliminated are those that are recorded on the deed or trust deed.

Without knowing all the facts, I would assume that rent payments should be put in a trust at the bank, to be released when the final results of the court hearing are known.

It generally varies depending on the Arbitrator, how much evidence is presented, how long her/she spends analyzing the facts, how many witnesses and parties were involved in the Arbitration, etc. Expect at least a week, or longer for a complicated case.

Your question is somewhat confusing, but I will try to sort it out. I am assuming that you are looking for a lawyer to oppose a conservatorship (or a conservatorship proceeding). If the person in question still has his/her faculties, and does not appear to need a conservatorship, then it would... View More

I don't know where you live, but most courts in Riverside County (where I live) require that an attorney must first must first mediate the issue of fees in a mediation or arbitration. If the County where you live follows this rule, then you should bring it up in Court if you haven't... View More

You are technically obligated on your contract(s) (which I have not seen), so it simply depends on how nice they are. Since you haven't started work yet, that is in your favor. But your change of mind on the new job will not be pleasing to the existing employer. You may not pass all the... View More

From my experienced as a lawyer, and living in a condo complex for 40 years, it seems that HOAs can do whatever they like. The Board is always supposed to give Notice of any change in the rules to all members of the HOA. You are lucky, as your dispute is (for now) only over a $20 late fee. I... View More

I don't think you need to call the Police. I think you need to contact the closest DMV office, explain the problem, and see if they have a form that you can sign.

You might want to check to see if the dollars added up. They may have included the $2,000 down payment in the total price of the car, without noting it in the paperwork.

I assume there was a shipping receipt or written contract somewhere in this transaction. Reading the contract may answer your question. Transfer of title is a very complicated subject. I would seek help from a Maritime attorney in your area.

Your first mistake was having an affair with a married man. Morally you are at fault for all of your problems. I am sorry you are going through all of this, but I don't think justice is on your side here.

Unfortunately, an oral promise concerning real property is invalid. The deed to the property must have your name on it for you to claim an interest in the property. Be sure there is no Will from your sister. She may have drafted one and you don't know about it. Good Luck.
