If you pay rent and are not subject to a written lease then you are on a month-to-month tenancy terminable upon 30-days' notice by your landlord. Therefore, the short answer is "yes."

Whether the property has mold is not relevant to the landlord's right to terminate a... View More

I agree with Mr. Pennell about the dangers of co-signing.

For a judgment that is older than one year, the good-cause/meritorious defense bit doesn't apply. Those are the requirements to set aside a default judgment. For your judgment, if you were not properly served, you'd... View More

If you were sued and served with the summons and petition or it was posted, then you would have had an opportunity to show up at court and argue that you didn’t breach the lease. From your post, it’s not clear what happened. If you lost the case and the judgment is final then I don’t know... View More

Either it is a scam or you have already been sued and United Firm saw the information on the public docket and therefore mailed you a letter. I wouldn't recommend dealing with any random mediation company at this point. An attorney would need to assess the situation, but the statute of... View More

I suggest you hire an attorney who is experienced in filing motions for relief from void judgments. Because more than one year has passed since entry of the judgment, you are ineligible to file a motion to set aside a default judgment, which requires "good cause" and articulation of a... View More

You pose good questions. I file lots of Telephone Consumer Protection Act class actions and can tell you that this is a hot area of law, because my cell phones are now both personal and business lines. Text messages are a bit different. I suggest you have an attorney. The calls and texts raise... View More

If you can prove that such a statement was made and you can prove that you were financially damaged and if you are willing to pay an attorney to file suit for you, go for it. Also, make sure the other agent has insurance or funds to pay any judgment you might obtain.

If you don't pay the unsecured loan you'll likely get sued. If the case results in a judgment against you, the judgment either will automatically become a lien on real estate in your county or the plaintiff may "transcribe" an associate division judgment to make it into a lien.

If you have proof that the seller knew of the problem and failed to disclose, you could have an attorney assert a claim for violation of Missouri's Merchandising Practices Act (MPA). That's Missouri's consumer protection statute. On my website, there is an article you might find... View More

Unless your contract contains an arbitration clause, then of course you may sue the breeder, assuming you are willing and able to pay to litigate in Missouri. Have an attorney review the contract and assess whether you'd have a strong claim. Sorry that your pub isn't what you expected or desired.

If you don't reach a settlement then the case will go forward. If you lose, the plaintiff will have a judgment against you and can garnish your wages, bank account, etc.

If you don't show up at court a default judgment will be entered against you. If you are served, either show... View More

A creditor has the right to sue a debtor for an unpaid debt. I believe you want to know what your rights are as a debtor. You have the right to hire an attorney to defend the case or to represent yourself in court. You can also try to negotiate a settlement.

Missouri judgments last for 10 years unless revived sooner or there is a payment reflected on the record I’m not sure if your two payments are shown on the record. If so, that automatically resets the clock. A small claims judgment is not a lien on real estate but the title company still... View More

Serve them each with a notice to vacate and if they don’t leave have an attorney file an unlawful detainer case.

All I can discern from your post is the your child was the victim of some sort of discrimination based on sexual orientation and that you cannot afford to pay an attorney by the hour to represent her. I suggest you contact some attorneys who handle discrimination matters and see if anyone would... View More

It doesn’t really matter if an attorney thinks you have grounds to “break” your lease. Ideally, you and your landlord can reach a written agreement to terminate the lease. Suing for a declaratory judgment is an option but your case won’t end in January. Consider hiring an attorney to... View More

Attorneys are not allow to solicit business through their responses on Justia. You'll have to reach out to an attorney directly.

There is a good Missouri statute on unpaid wages but it must be followed strictly in order for the clock to start ticking on the employer. Some attorneys... View More

They can sue you for specific performance to force the sale or for breach of contract. If they end up selling to someone else for less than your agreed upon price, they'd have a good claim for the difference as damages. Plus, under your contract you may end up on the hook for their... View More

The litigation privilege is an absolute defense to a defamation claim. Depending upon the facts you might be able to sue for abuse of process or malicious prosecution if the case ends in your favor. Hire an attorney for a consultation.

Sorry to hear that the employer did you wrong. Absenet a binding arbitration agreement in your contract you may sue in court. I suggest that you have an attorrney review the contract and assess the situation. For employment matters, attorneys sometimes represent clients on a contingency... View More
