You'd likely have to provide a 30 day notice and then file an unlawful detainer with the court if he doesn't leave (assuming the boyfriend was not given the home in the will). If you decide to hire an attorney, I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help. Good luck.

If the vehicle was represented to you as "new" and it was not new, then you have a claim. If you have a warranty, the warranty should cover these repairs regardless. If you decide to hire an attorney, I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help. Good luck.
If I am using someone else's money and a house that I flip sells for less then previously estimated am I out anything more then my time? Or can the private money lender sue me and make me cover the loss?

It really depends on the details of the contract you signed, but often personal guarantees are required. Hopefully, things go smoothly with the project, but if you end up needing an attorney, I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help. Good luck.
About to expire. I’ve talked with previous tenants and the landlord has done the same to them and refused offers that was given to buy. What can I do to stay?

It depends on the specific language in your lease agreement. If there's a provision that permits the owner to terminate the agreement for purposes of a sale, then you're in a more difficult position. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to hep if you'd ie to hire an attorney. Good luck.
They used the person's real name each time they go on social media to harass her. They also claim she committed a crime that has not been proven by evidence.

If you're asking about chances of stopping online harassment, it's possible, but you'd likely ned to reach out to the platform or social media company for assistance. If statements were made that are defamatory, then you could bring a a lawsuit for the defamation. I'm sure... View More

This probably isn't a libel case, but you could certainly file a lawsuit and/or send a demand letter to get your vehicle back and have her return your documents. If you decide to hire an attorney, I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help. Good luck!
How can she remove him and keep herself safe?

It sounds like you have a claim for a brach of contract, but may also have a claim under the VA Consumer Protection Act. You'd probably need an attorney to review your documentation and any correspondence. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help. Good luck.
He does not pay rent nor is he leasing. I own the home.I served 3 day eviction notice but he doesn't believe it's real and refuse to leave. Ive called police on him for harassing me in my home. He keeps attempting to hurt himself by falling down steps, falling on furniture and breaking... View More

Yes, you can evict him. The specific process depends on what your agreement with him was. Was there a signed lease? Did he pay rent or perform some service in exchange for living there. That impacts the type of notice you give. If you decide to hire a lawyer, I'm sure anyone who responds would... View More

Possibly. It sounds like the plaintiff is trying to allege some type of tortious business interference and conspiracy with your new business and your former business partner. This scenario where a person closes down a business to avoid debts and then opens a new business does occur. While your... View More

The landlord cannot simply lock you out. You can file a complaint with the court and get the landlord to pay you for your damages, which could include rent and attorney's fees. If you decide to hire a lawyer, I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help. Good luck.

The landlord could initiate the eviction proceedings against you. It would not happen immediately, but ultimately, the landlord could evict you simply because the lease expires. However, the landlord is not permitted to change the locks or do anything to diminish services pursuant to your lease and... View More

You have to file an action to clear the title in Circuit Court. Of course, you could send a letter or have an attorney send a letter to the contractor explaining that if he doesn't remove the lien, you're going to ask the court to award you attorney's fees for the effort and filing.... View More
It appears that they got a new license number. Is this legal? If I am trying to get the contract voided would this matter?

As long as the contractor has a valid license number and the numbers were associated with him (and not someone else) then this seems OK. Of course, this doesn't mean the workmanship was sufficient, but from a strictly licensing perspective, this may be OK. If you decide to hire a lawyer,... View More

Not unless the lease has a provision that allows the landlord to terminate the lease with notice for purposes of a sale. Normally, a sale does not impact the lease. The lease just transfers to the new owners. If you decide to hire a lawyer to explain this to your landlord, I'm sure anyone who... View More
Contract states Final due on concrete Completion but we are getting paver coping instead of concrete. Still a huge piece of the project to be finished. Don’t feel it’s fair to give full payment with a large piece unfinished and unscheduled.

Contractually, you're likely obligated to make the payment. However, you may be able to renegotiate on your own or with the help of an attorney for different milestones and payments. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help if you decide to hire a lawyer. Good luck.

You're not required to leave in 72 hours. The landlord has to go through the court system to get an eviction. Of course, if you want to leave and you're able to reach an agreement with the landlord then that's your choice, but it's not a requirement. If you decide to hire a... View More

No, the UD has to be filed in the county were the property is located -- not where the landlord may reside. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help if you decide to hire an attorney. Good luck.
