The legal concept you are proffering is a sublease. The landlord is renting to you and you are in turn renting a portion to others. If the others do not pay their rent, this does not excuse your obligation to the landlord. A landlord/tenant attorney in your area can help you prepare an... View More

answered on Mar 21, 2016
Possibly. It is possible Arizona's version of the UCC applies, and a written contract may be required. More importantly though, was there a written contract eventually for the purchase? If so, that contract likely has a clause that limits the terms to the written contract, which likely... View More

For down payment and remodeling and I paid most of mortgage for more than a year. She sold the house and kept everything, an excess of 200 000$, plus she kept all my stuff except clothes. All we had was oral agreement.
answered on Jan 21, 2016
Some agreement can be oral but more information is needed. Any emails or texts evidencing the agreement may help. A strong letter from a lawyer may be a good start. Sounds like there is enough at stake to make it worthwhile to look into further.

which state law should apply
answered on Jul 2, 2015
Some types of contracts in Arizona have to be in writing. Others can be verbal. Here is an Arizona statute about this topic: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/44/00101.htm
When suing over a verbal contract, it helps if you have independent corroboration (witnesses, texts, emails).
