That's a complicated question that involves several different areas of law. If you have a specific concern, go ahead and give me a call. The short answer, is yes, usually.

That depends on how you surrendered your dog, to whom you surrendered your dog, and whether he/she belongs to someone else now.

Nope. If they're on their property, they're well within the law. You can always chat with your neighbor and explain your concerns, or build your own fence.

It would depend on his/the owner's uninsured/underinsured coverage. It's likely someone's insurance can cover it or make a claim.

Hello there, I can't answer your question without more information. Feel free to give me a call or email and if I can't help you, I can point you in the right direction.

In addition to what Mr. Cavell said below, you might also have a claim for fraud and negligence. It depends on your individual situation, and a good civil attorney could help you with the civil claim if you did not want to only press charges.

Maybe. You would need to allege fraud or failure to disclose, but given the time that has past it may be an uphill battle, though not impossible.

I might depend on your lease. If your lease has a stipulation that no one with a misdemeanor conviction may live there, or other basic wording, they may be able to evict over an unlawful tenant. It's worthwhile to have an attorney look over your lease.

It's not necessarily illegal, but he may be able to recover his damages in a civil suit/pre-suit negotiations. They may have been negligent leaving the grill unattended. It's work discussing with an attorney.

He is likely the legal owner at this point.

Draft a demand letter, include evidence of your cancelation, and demand they repay. It may be a false/deceptive business practice, and you might be able to file a small claims matter alleging a CSPA violation if they refuse to give you your money back.

He may be permitted, as long as he gives proper notice beforehand. Discuss the matter with him and ask that any prospective lessors use hand sanitizer, not touch anything, and wear masks or gloves while in your apartment. It's also okay to leave out hand sanitizer for their use.

Hi there, it's a little difficult to discern what's happening here, if you're able to expand help may be easier to provide.

The landlord will likely want a parent as a guarantor on the lease. Because you're a minor, you cannot legally enter into binding contracts, and without a parent/adult also on the lease as the responsible party, a landlord is unlikely to rent to a minor. A landlord may also be hesitant to... View More

Probably not. If you have her screenshot statements telling you to "get rid" of them, then you would likely be successful at arguing that she abandoned them. After she abandoned them, you rehomed one and kept the other. The male is now your property.

You're probably liable for the vet bills, and may be liable for the criminal end of things as well. You should reach out to an attorney for a full opinion and representation.

Maybe. You might have to bring a small claims action against them and show your ownership of her, all your attempts to find her, and any evidence of their statements that they knew she was yours and did not want to give her back. Given the time that has past, it would be very difficult.

That would depend on whether you signed a contract with them, and what it says about returning the dog. It's unlikely that simply a soured relationship would suffice to force you to return a dog. If there is no written contract, your general contract appears to be that you whelped the litter,... View More

No, you don't have to return the dog. It would be the prior owner who would be liable to the breeder, not you.

The case was dismissed because the Plaintiff took no action to move the case forward. This dismissal is without prejudice likely, meaning they may still be able to refile. If they wrongly refile, you might have an FDCPA claim against them.
