You seem to have answered your question yourself. You are basically asking if the other party to your contract (the overall deal you made) can add a charge that you did not agree to, for no reason. Of course not. I suggest you give the landlord your written itemized figures and ask if you're... View More

Perhaps someone forged your identity. But you should contact a Connecticut attorney to look into it.

Is it something discoverable during inspection period of your purchase? If it is, you can't hold the seller liable, unfortunately.

In Florida, the time you have to respond to a motion to compel discovery or other motions generally depends on the specific rules of the court in which the motion was filed. However, as a general guideline, you typically have 20 days to respond to a motion in Florida's state courts. This... View More

Can I just file it with the court, or does opposing counsel have to approve/accept it?
I asked them for a 30 day extension so that I can find adequate counsel and they said they wouldn't allow it.

Yes, that's your only option. Either you or the plaintiff's attorney can set your motion for hearing. "I need more time to find an attorney" is generally not a good reason for the judge to grant your motion. My suggestion is to file your motion, and be working real hard to hire... View More

It depends how the lease was signed. Also, the LLC may not be the right party to the lease but the terms may inure to an individual. You need to read the lease to understand more. Basically, they shouldn't be creating new terms, and you shouldn't be unjustly enriched because the LLC... View More

A signed lease is a legal contract between the parties. In this situation, the elderly couple signed a one-year lease, so the landlord can hold them responsible for it. If the lease allows, the unit could be sub-let to another renter, but the couple will be responsible for rent until that happens.... View More

Did you agree to terms that let them take advantage of you as you describe, or not?

Often there is a provision in a contract that says verbal representations (what they say to you outside of the contract) are not controlling and the terms of the written agreement are controlling. Does your contract with the gym say that it would be 50% for the remaining months? If so, it may be... View More

I am currently facing a situation with a pool construction company, Holiday Pools, that has refused to communicate for over 30 days and has not finished the pool construction as agreed. What legal steps can be taken in this scenario, and what options are available to address this issue?

Unfortunately, you are in similar shoes to many in Florida who find themselves dealing with pool contractors who may have over promised, under performed, and often the homeowner finds themselves with a big hole in the ground and not much else.
