Q: If my sister-in-law lent her car to her granddaughter to drive in AZ. and my sister-in-law had me sign a papersaying
that if anything happened to her car I would have to pay for the repairs. Then, her granddaughter totaled
the car, who is liable? My sister-in-law rents a room from me for $250.00 a month ,plus 50.00 for the tv, but
ever since the accident she hasn't paid me a dime, what can I do?
A: Well, you signed so that her grandaughter could drive the car, so it's binding on you. Yes, you can give her a notice to quit for nonpayment, and she can ask you to pay for the car now.Either way you will be paying her.
