Mr. Avery is correct, but even assuming you had no attorney when you purchased, hopefully, you at least bought title insurance. You should start with them before retaining your own attorney.

Access to a refrigerator and stove are not required to make an apartment "legal" but it sounds like what you are describing may be an illegal apartment nonetheless. We would need more info.

Yes, a foreclosed homeowner can retain an attorney to recover surplus funds. From my NY perspective, the fee can be anything agreed upon, but one-third is customary here if it's done on a contingent fee basis.

That's very creative, but you received actual notice of the increase, so if you're asking whether you can avoid the increase by renewing quickly, the answer is no - unfortunately.

It's not a question of legality - it's a business decision for the four of you to make. If the others agree, it can be done.

Even assuming it's now legal to carry a taser in NY (which I could not confirm), since it was not legal at the time you committed the (former) "crime," you cannot be compensated now, unfortunately.

I agree with attorney Ratchik's analysis but suggest that you should probably confirm with an attorney licensed in Florida by posting this question in the Florida section of this website. The analysis and thresholds may be different there.
I rent a house in upstate New York. I signed a lease that says tenant is responsible for repairs under $500. A friend recently told me that she thinks this is illegal. That landlords are responsible for repairs. Now I'm wondering if that is the case? And if so, even though I signed the lease... View More

Unfortunately, I don't see anything inherently wrong with the provision, and I think that since you signed it, you're bound by it. And, although Mr. Smollens' suggestion is not necessarily bad, $50 is hardly enough money to rock the boat with your landlord (in my opinion).

There's nothing illegal about drawing a line in the sand and saying the tenant is responsible for small-ticket items and the landlord is responsible for large-ticket items. $500 seems like a reasonable number for that purpose. If you agreed (by signing the lease) you are bound.

What does it say in the divorce agreement? Unless the judge ordered her to change it back, she has the right (but not the obligation) to do so. Many divorced persons opt not to undergo the name change process for various reasons.

From my NY perspective, it seems that if you did not accept the original offer and sign the original agreement before they changed the offer and asked you to sign a different agreement, it's up to them whether to honor the original deal. But I see no legal requirement that they do so.

More info is needed. Why was it in their shop if there was no repair order? Was a repair completed and you failed to retrieve the vehicle timely? What was the damage? Who caused the damage? Either way, doesn't the shop have insurance? If not, do you have insurance?
