Answer to first question: Probably yes, depending on the terms of agreement. To second question: If the amount claimed is 8,000 or less, you would file in small claims court to seek the amount claimed plus court costs.
I started work with a business coach/consultant 3 months ago. When I joined his group program, he didn't have me sign a contract. Yesterday, he sent me one over to sign finally, and I did. Today he removed me from his program. Does the contract apply retroactively to the work we have already done?
answered on Mar 23, 2023
No, unless the contract specifies that it applies to previously completed work, it doesn't apply to that work.

The first issue here is whether Remitly breached its contract with you. You agreed to a set of terms and conditions, probably by clicking on a box on-line. You must read those terms and conditions.

Of course it is possible and advisable. A lawyer can advise you on the type of document needed, and it will depend on whether your mobile home is considered real property. Regardless, it can either be a mortgage or chattel mortgage, or a note to repay debt.

It depends on the language in the HOA documents and any shared amenities. It's impossible to say how much it would cost because it would likely require litigation if the board is not in agreement. It could cost anywhere from tens of thousands of dollars to up to $200,000 or more if it goes... Read more »
