You should review the lease which should have a clause which describes how your proportionate share of the real estate taxes are calculated as well as language which provides you with the opportunity to review the tax bill as well as any other documents relied upon by landlord to pass through your...

My office handles construction disputes. I would be happy to discuss. I can be reached directly at 312-527-4545.

Thank you.

Your description suggests that construction is completed and all units have been sold. The developer should have already turned over control to a duly elected board by the members of the Association. Your description describes a serious problem, which I presume has been confirmed by an... View More

It is not clear if construction is complete, although I am making that assumption because you are living in the house. If construction is complete, I would presume you have been tendered a final bill, which you have been able to review and either approve by issuing payment or by asking questions as... View More

To fully answer your question, the contract would have to be reviewed. On a general basis, a contractor typically provides a warranty and so the issues you have described would likely fall within the warranty. Independent of any warranty, if the contractor did not complete the scope of work or... View More

The lease would have to be reviewed to determine what rights you may have as a tenant give the circumstances you describe. If the work has interfered with your ability to live in your unit without disruption there may be a basis to claim constructive eviction and terminate the lease on that basis.... View More

The contract must be reviewed to determine provisions regarding scope of work, time to complete, payment schedule and termination provisions. If work is not being performed correctly or perhaps to code, you will need to have another contractor(s) in the appropriate discipline, inspect your... View More

Based on your brief description the teachers would be considered independent contractors because it would be their decision as to whether they wanted to work or not. They have the flexibility to work as much or as little as they may want through your site.

State statutes have provisions by which judgments can be revived. You do not identify if the action is pending in Wisconsin or Illinois. Regardless, I would strongly recommend that you have a consultation with an attorney whose practice is concentrated in consumer law, to review whether the... View More

Based upon your description, it appears the City is/would be cooperative with your ultimate goal. It is likely the restrictions were put in place by the developer, perhaps based upon zoning or right of way issues. I would think the City should be able to work with you to develop a solution. I...

If you have a final judgment, then you have the options to: 1) garnish wages from the employer 2) garnish funds from a known bank account 3) file and serve a Citation to Discover Assets which will require a further court appearance(s) and testimony would be taken regarding income and assets 4)...

You should consult with an attorney whose practice is concentrated in business law and has experience in drafting, reviewing and negotiating the type of agreement you have described.

Legally, your obligation is to the agent/broker with whom you signed an agreement. If you did not sign an agreement with the agent/broker who agreed to show you properties then there is no commission to pay a commission. If the selling brokers you have described are 'angry' that is... View More

Your description suggests that the amount you paid the subsequent contractor to correct the defective workmanship was an amount equal to or greater than what was paid to the original contractor. In such instance, you can sue the original contractor for the dollar value of what was paid to the... View More

I am presuming that the loan was documented by a written agreement. The terms of that agreement control. I do not know how long you have been sending payments which have not been cashed, but I would recommend that you review the agreement and if you do not have a copy, then contact the lender....

I have read both of your questions. Rule 775 does provide that immunity in the context of ARDC communications. It is not clear if the suit you describe is a malpractice claim against you, but if so I would suggest you review with your attorney. If not involving a malpractice claim, but arising from...

Generally, any claim/case should be reviewed to determine if there is possible insurance coverage. If there is potential coverage then the claim/case should be forwarded to the parties insurance agent who will transmit to the insurance company. If there is coverage, then the insurance company...

On a general basis, the answer is no. Earned commissions should be paid. However each case is dependent on its facts. I presume you have a contract and that should be reviewed. I would recommend you consult with an attorney to review and discuss the details.

I am assuming that the home was owned jointly by your mother and father. That being the case, if the contractor completed the work, if they choose they can record a lien for the value of the work which has not been paid.
