If the lease requires you to give a notice but you did not, they can sign a new lease assuming you are not to renew. If the lease does not state you should give a notice, you... View More

After living in my rented single family home for over 3 years I was sitting in my kitchen speaking of fire alarms and noticed I do not have 1 single alarm in my house. Is that legal? Can I sue?
answered on Feb 8, 2024
The question comes down to whether you have right to have a fire alarm installed in your apartment. Apparently you do. If they refuse after you requesting repeatedly, of courser you may ask the court for an order for them to install one.

This is serious. You should not signed the prenuptial agreement 4 days before you marry. You should have the prenuptial agreement reviewed. This is not a matter that should be taken so lightly that you expect it to be resolved by question and answer session.

and that i owe an additional $20,000 on the car i downgraded to. does their mistake fall onto me? if i don’t go back in, will i be held legally responsible for the missing $20k on my loan pay off that they over looked?
