A California attorney could answer best, but your post remains open for two weeks.

My question is- Is it legal for the owner of the salon to still charge me booth rent for a space in the salon when I’m not allowed to use it because of the shutdown?
answered on Aug 4, 2020
What does your agreement with the salon owner say? It would seem improper for the salon owner to collect rent from you and not provide you with the access that you bargained to pay for, even if the failure to provide access is because of Government orders to shutdown. That is not your... View More

You bought a car on an ORAL AGREEMENT? Not a good idea. But it may work in your favor because seller may have a hard time to prove you purchased on an "as is" basis. Sue him in small claims. You are out the insurance money. You may be able to recoup the tires. Claim fraudulent... View More

You are both a tenant; and you are a landlord to your housemate. You need to provide her notice that you are closing the account. You should have done this several months ago and then you could have paid the housemate for utilities instead of vice versa. You cannot shut it off and leave her... View More
She never did and now it has been over a year. She stated that she only has to pay back $5,500 per law. Is this true? Even if I have it in writing that she would pay $7,000?

Banks are the only entities that should be loaning money, not you. Sorry you were cheated. This is a matter for Small Claims, you should sue for $10,000, to include all pre-judgment interest, your rate of interest is within legal parameters, you can research it in the Financial Code.

Unclear what you mean by "can't be seen." If you mean that their computer lacks video so when they are on Zoom you get a black screen, then the answer is "yes" they can vote. In theory they could vote if the called in on a conference call.

Those are very different fields. I suggest you speak with your career counselor. If you do not have one, reach out to local lawyers or the local lawyer bar association to see if they have mentor programs for highschool students. You can do the same for the field of correctional officer.... View More
