If you are doing it voluntarily, then no you don't have a right to sue her. She is supposed to be using the funds she is collecting to take care of her son. If she isn't, then the son has a claim or the father has a claim against her. If you are the guardian of the son then you might... View More 
My mother is in an assisted living center and I put her there because she is not able to function at home. Her husband has health and mental issues and threatens to leave, so I had no choice but to move her because she cannot be there by herself.

There is nothing illegal about it, unless your mom has truly lost her capacity. The fact that it is her legal husband that is doing this will probably hold more weight as well.
If you want to stop this, you will need to file for a guardianship or conservatorship with the Court so that no... View More
Landlord did not have space ready by the time lease said. Can I get damages from them even though there is no language in the lease about what happens in this case and no language about damages whatsoever?
answered on Jan 10, 2019
In my opinion it would be difficult to persuade a Court that you should get damages. If the lease is silent on the matter, you would have to show detrimental reliance. Meaning, that they knew it would cost you if you didn't get the space on time, and that you relied on their representation... View More
I am now trying to buy a house but they say I'm in a contact for 8 more months. I've lived here 1.5 years after the initial contact was complete. Is this legal? Is this something I can fight in court or is it something I more than likely will lose. They want 3 months rent for fees.
answered on Jan 10, 2019
Contracts with auto-renewals are valid. It cuts both ways, if you didn't want to move they couldn't terminate the contract for another year.
More common than the auto renewal contract is the one that goes a month to month after the expiration of the initial term.
I am... View More

It is hard to say. Most estate planning will do this at a flat rate if they do it all. The reason they may not want to update (meaning drafting an amendment or a codicil) is that they believe that they will be held responsible for the rest of the contents of of the document even if you they are...

My grandpa passed away first. My step grandmas daughter is number 1 trustee
answered on Jan 10, 2019
Your mom is a contingent agent to carry out the terms of the trust. Until your step-grandma either resigns, becomes incapacitated or dies, your mom has no authority over the trust property by virtue of the trust agreement.
I hope this helps.

I am trying to move, but my landlord won't let me sell my contract/sub-let it even though the contract has a provision that allows it as long as the landlord agrees to it. Instead, they want to find a new tenant and increase the rent by $100. I combed through the contract and found that they... View More
answered on Jan 4, 2019
Yes, the contract is enforceable. If the business is expired, the only thing that it means is that, they can get in trouble with the department of corporations and they may be personally liable rather than having the limited liability they probably thought they had.
I hope this helps.

I am the only person in my business and I really want to keep it that way. If possible. I am using ghostwriters to create the books. I handle everything else.

I recently rented out a apt. the lease that was signed was a lease takeover that was for 6 months, during the last 3 months i requested a copy of the lease, I then noticed that the manager forgot to sign the lease. I then signed another contract with her ( which i still have a copy of) stating that... View More

Contracts are enforceable against those who have signed them. So if you signed a lease but the LL never did, then they could hold you to it, but you might not be able to hold them to it. Signatures are just one method of "acceptance" of a contract. Performance is another. So if you... View More

Hi,
Sounds like a great place to eat. If the only thing you share is the recipe for the rootbeer, your father has nothing to worry about.
I would imagine that you will want to capitalize on some of the brand awareness that your father has. I would set up a licensing agreement... View More

Life insurance payouts will go directly to the beneficiaries without counting as part... View More
If it is possible does that company have the right to kick me out of the home?
answered on Dec 12, 2018
As long as you are on the deed, they are unable to kick you out. You are an owner. House ownership can be split among persons and sold separately from each other. Each owner will have an undivided right of use and enjoyment of the property ( you can's draw a line in the middle of the house... View More

Good question, it seems like you have understood the issues correctly. Your question of whether the breach is a "significant enough" breach is on point.
I think that you could certainly make a good argument that it is. The buildup of waste on a property due to non-disposal could... View More

I am not sure that you posited a question. I will try to answer what you might be asking and that is whether a hotel is liable to disclose or facilitate the return of property left at their hotel by tenants if the tenant reports that it was left there.
The hotel's position is that... View More
We had a lease when we first moved in to the basement apartment almost 3 years ago, the lease was up in 2017, we never signed another lease. We have gotten behind on rent and our landlord said he would keep working with us. We received a letter from him saying that we had until January 2019 to get... View More
answered on Dec 12, 2018
You main question is whether a person who is illegally renting out his basement can evict a tenant.
The answer to that is yes. As between you and the Landlord the contract governs, therefore he can evict you for default of the agreement ( failure to pay rent). As between the Landlord and... View More

The term "proportionate" isn't defined in the act and therefore you would need to look to CC & R's of HOA itself. If it is not defined in the CC & R'rs then it would take the ordinary meaning in an HOA or industry context.
I hope this helps.

She increased the rent from $500/month to $650/month when me lease expired at 6 months. I never got a copy of the original lease.

answered on Dec 12, 2018
Hi,
You have the same rights as any other tenant who defaults on the lease. You could ask for a copy of the lease. Have you tried to do that?
Basically, if you are defaulting for payment, the Landlord has the right to evict you because you are breaching the contract. If the... View More

I would need to look at the lease agreement in detail to tell you for sure, but unless the lease says something different, their notice to terminate the lease would apply as an early termination of your lease. If you wanted to sue for breach of contract and enforce the lease agreement you would... View More
