We have an extensive agreement we’ve put together. As we are closer to signing and finalizing he mentioned renting the home to another party and not doing repairs until he pays the balloon note. I’m uncomfortable with this notion. Is it legal? Can they be landlord and not live in the dwelling?
answered on Feb 13, 2023
Your questions are fact-specific and depend upon the written terms of the contractyou executed. If this is important enough to you, hire an attorney to review the contract. In general, I landlord certainly does not need to live in the rental premises.

Not a good idea to name the captain on a public forum. You didn't ask a legal question. If you want to hire an attorney you will need to reach out to one directly. Find someone with experience in similar situations if possible.

It’s not a matter of legality but rather of the enforceability of such a provision. The enforceability would depend upon the facts, including the geographical and temporal scope of the provision.

Sentences on different courts can run at the same time rather than back to back.

You should hire an attorney to review the contract and provide advice rather than hope that someone will accurately asses a snippet of the document.

Employers aren’t required to provide any vacation days. Therefore, this isn’t a matter of legally but rather whether the employer is breaching its contract with the employee.

A dismissal with prejudice is the same as if the case were tried on the merits and you lost. You aren’t entitled to a do-over. Defamation cases in Missouri are tough.

Has retained an attorney. They have a contingency. What can they sue me for?
answered on Nov 3, 2022
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
Halloween for personal reasons I will be a crying mess. I didn’t ask it off specifically because it’s my usual day off and I just found out a couple days ago that I have to work that day. And they’re threatening to write me up if I don’t show. Do I have any protection? Recourse?
answered on Oct 28, 2022
Unfortunately, your only recourse is to find other employment because no statute prevents the employer’s actions. You’ll have to decide whether not showing up is worth potentially getting fired or otherwise disciplined. Maybe you can find a Halloween party on another day.

No one here know the facts, the evidence, and how testimony will be viewed. Until a jury renders a guilty verdict and it is upheld on appeal, anyone can theoretically beat any charge.

The statute of limitations would depend upon the cause of action, i.e., type of legal claim. If you wish to sue for fraud and if Missouri law governs, the you've got 5 years under Mo. Rev. Stat. 516.120(1), with the possibility for it to be extended dependin upon when the fraud was discovered.
