I suppose you would need a place to park the car, a clean up crew, and a pretty solid waiver for the contestants to sign. Depending on how this is being run a business license may also be a concern.
I live in a shared house (the house has 3 bedrooms which are up for rent), I rent the master bedroom. The landlord insists on coming in and staying in the currently unrented room. She has even written a claus into the lease agreement she would like us to sign. My question is: Is this legal?
answered on May 30, 2015
We would have to read the lease. I personally wouldn't sign any addendum, but that decision is up to you.

If the video is real they are praying on the fact that you can't afford representation. Truth is an absolute defense. My advice, send a financial affidavit showing that any judgment against you would be worthless. Most people don't want to spend time and money on a lawsuit which has no... View More
I had filed suit in small claims for repair to computer keyboard and punitive damages. The case was dismissed (by Judge Judy who never heard the facts).

Maybe. It depends... you should call a lawyer and go over all of the facts. That said- my guess is that the terms of the arbitration you were involved in would bar you from reopening the case.

May I request to see a letter from a doctor prescribing a service animal? May I ask what specific tasks this service animal has been trained to do?

No, you cannot ask for any letter from a doctor or any other documentation.

The fee went to 40% because the risk to the lawyer, who paid all costs associated with the lawsuit, went up. This should be clearly spelled out in your contingency fee agreement and representation contract. Also, your lawyer should have no issues in detailing why the fee was raised and how the... View More

Therefore, if your total hours worked... View More
