No. A quit claim deed once executed, means that you have sold, for whatever price, the property to the other party, lock, stock, and barrel. A quit claim deed is not a gift, there's no revocation.

You agreed to the firearms prohibition when you signed the Lease. Then, you had a weapon shipped to you. The fact that is legal to ship that item to any home address has nothing to do with the fact that the item is prohibited by contract anywhere on the premises, including your apartment.
I declared bankruptcy in 2016. I received a ledger from Lazega & Johanson, a collection law firm, very away after receiving my bankruptcy discharge. It stated that I owed them an absurd sum in association dues, which included fees and interest.
I discovered after looking at the charges... Read more »

You can perceive anything you like, but what you have is a basic dispute over money. You claim you are paid up, the association claims that you are not. If you can prove that you paid the assessments on time that the HOA claims you did not, that would be a pretty good defense to the foreclosure... Read more »

I'd advise you to do 2 things:
1. make an appointment with a lawyer who handles general civil matters, and take all of the documentation who have so the attorney can make a professional assessment of your situation. It may mean you calling around to everal lawyers and several... Read more »
It is a condo in a multi family rental

There's no law in Florida that regulates rent. You can raise the rent as much or as little as you desire.
I've been here for 5 years and he has never asked if I needed or wanted a paint job on the inside. I pay a lot of money to live here and would like it done. Is it legal to make me pay the first 250 for a repair?
answered on Sep 22, 2022
Unless the lease obligates him to paint the house, he is never required by law to paint it. Did you agree in your lease tompay the first $250? If so, end of story.
based solely on me refusing to be responsible for pest control pursuant to above statue? ( sorry that’s Title VI 83.51)
answered on Sep 22, 2022
Probably. If he can't follow that statute, he's probably not following others. you don't want to rent from a guy like that. Go someplace else.
Also I never knew about the account that I am being sued for never signed a contract or a summons. someone else signed the summons for me and didn't tell me about it.
answered on Sep 22, 2022
You don't. You make a motion to dismiss the case, stating your reasons. You file the original with the clerk of the court and send a copy to the plaintiff or its attorney. As to the summons - if the summons was delivered to a person authorized by law to accept it at your residence (as an... Read more »
So basically I owe a psych ward a ton of money. I was sued for it. And now they are garnishing my entire bank account. I have been trying to get ahold of the lawyer company to hopefully negotiate to stop the garnishment but they won’t return my calls and their automated emails just tell me to... Read more »
answered on Sep 20, 2022
I dont know about his law firm, but if I had a garnishment in place I wouldn't negotiate with you. Why would I? The lawyer's client is the creditor, not you. You can always retain an attorney to make certain that the plaintiff's attorney has followed the garnishment statute.
The business I am suing is an LLC and is also franchised. This will be a small claims case in the state of Florida. For the business I am suing, there is a principal address listed, a mailing address listed and also a registered agent name and address listed. Which of these addresses should receive... Read more »

Physical address. Tell your process server all 3 addresses. Their job is to get it served.
He left me his property and I have a will county transfered it to a lawyer and is threatening to sale property
I haven’t received any statement showing where the garnishment is going.
answered on Sep 15, 2022
Statements stopped when the account charged off. The garnishments are applied to the judgment; the law firm handling the garnishment keeps the balance and will give you a balance on occasion. They will not send you a monthly statement.
I am curious as to what happens now.
answered on Sep 13, 2022
It depends. First, this was not a conference call. A conference call is between clients and vendors, partners, etc. This was a court hearing of some kind. It may have been a motion hearing, a status conference, a case management conference, a final hearing, etc. (details matter)
Second, you... Read more »
I owned an LLC that sold flooring for a company from 2011 thru 2014. I told the owner I was starting another LLC and would not be working for them full time, but I would still help them. The owner was very rude and threatened to sue me for jobs they installed for me. I could not afford a lawsuit so... Read more »

Well, did you get a letter or were you served a complaint? There's a big difference; if it's just a letter then you haven't been sued. In anybevent, hire a lawyer. Defending a lawsuit isn't as easy as saying "I don't owe him any money".
They don’t show up on time, they are to clean for 2 and a half hours. You are lucky if they are there 2 hours. I had one girl there for 45 minutes. We have a doorbell that times people when they are coming and going which is on our cell phones.

You didn't ask a question. Sounds like a customer service issue.
I have been making monthly payments since June of 2020. Never missed a payment. Now they are suing me because my payments aren’t high enough. They said I have to agree to an amount I can’t afford or take my chances in court and hung up on me.
answered on Sep 9, 2022
Yes. You can't just send a payment amount that you can afford without an agreement that your payments are acceptable. Suppose your debt is $10,000.00 and you are making monthly payments of $20.00 without an agreement that the at $20.00 is acceptable.
However on the same day; at 4pm a lawyer file a document showing the Plaintiff file from Bankrupt. The court send me a letter telling me that the case still open. They asking me to respond in 30 days , or they will be dismissed the case. Please help, dealing with that for almost a year . Thank you
answered on Sep 9, 2022
Sounds like 2 things crossed in the mail. If the plaintff filed bankruptcy, meaning there is a case number from the bankruptcy court, the case in civil court cannot proceed.
Even if the plaintiff did not file bankruptcy, you want the case dismissed because you are the defendant.
We have 4 children ages 5, 3, 1 and four months old. The house at minimum is 84 degrees and my babies have been sweating and lethargic. We had to still pay rent and also pay to stay in a hotel.

answered on Sep 5, 2022
Unless your lease requires the landlord furnish A/C, he doesn't have any legal obligation to do so.
You have some options:
1. Secure his written permission for you to reduce your next month's rent by the amount of the repairman's bill. If he agrees in writing, pay for... Read more »
I'm a tenant living in an apartment complex in Florida, I wish to break my lease early (It ends in December 2022) due to black mold in and around the air vents. I've made several calls to the complex starting in mid July and nothing has been done about it other than a 30 second visit at... Read more »
answered on Sep 4, 2022
Just seeing "black mold" around the air vents is not enough to terminate your lease without penalty. To break your lease, you'd have to, as a minimum, have a state certified mold inspector inspect and find that the mold that's there is toxic. There are molds that are not toxic,... Read more »
