Plymouth, MN asked in Contracts for Minnesota

Q: Can I void a contract with a roofer my girlfriend signed without my knowledge and permission? I'm the home owner not her

One of those door to door roofers came to my home and offered my girlfriend a free roof inspection. He then had her sign an agreement that if the insurance claim was approved the would get the job. She does not own the home, I am the sole owner, and she told him this and he said it was fine. She did not tell me she signed anything until after the insurance inspection was completed. Can I get out of this since I didnt sign or agree to have her sign on my behalf?

A: This depends on the particular situation at-hand and more facts would be needed, but I would say there's a good likelihood you can get out of this.
