Working condition. The dealership assured us they would have all repaired/restored to new condition under warranty. It has now been 6 months and they have not. I have been making camper payments all this time and it has sat on their lot waiting to be restored. I want my money back and to be... View More

I recommend hiring a competent attorney to file an Action in Chancery for Rescission. You will not make any money but you should mitigate your losses.

Apparently both of you own the vehicle, so either owner can use the vehicle. The lender can come after either of you for the entire loan amount.
as part of the consideration of this sale, the contract between the parties is by reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof; the terms and conditions contained herein shall survive the closing and shall not merge upon the delivery of the warranty deed.

What is your Question? Each party's obligations continue pass the delivery of the Deed. What counts is the Title not the Contract of Sale.
Informed seller that we didnt want any tenants and notified realtors also. They are abligating to sign but the property is not available to move in. Seller will not amend this and will be incommunicado for 4 -6 weeks. We need to know what we can do.

Read your Contract verbatim. It may be worth the risk to walk away from it. Or you may want to purchase then file a Detainer Warrant. Consult with a competent attorney. The Grantee takes subject to the right of possession of the occupant, which may be a breach of warranty by the Grantor. But... View More

What is the question?
I have been making payments on a contract for deed only to find out that the person recieving payments is not the deeded owner. Would this be considered felony fraud? Should I contact the sheriff?

You can try to get the Sheriff to get a Warrant, but it is doubtful. Put together proof of payment, the Contract, and the actual owner's Deed. More than likely You are left with suing your contracting party for breach of contract, fraud, and any other appropriate causes of action. Hire a... View More
I have a contract for deed from someone who is buying property on a contract for deed already from someone else. Meaning the person who I pay is not the deeded owner and they do not have their contract for deed recorded. Is this legal in Tennessee? Can someone who is not the deeded property owner... View More

No. You should speak to an attorney. This could turn out badly.
1 insurance carrier owes us almost $20k going back to Labor Day 2020. Can we sue for that?
answered on Jul 22, 2021
If the insurer had agreed to pay for your work as opposed to the insured then the insurer may be liable. If your contract/ agreement is with the insured- and the insurer is supposed to pay the insured- then your customer may have to pursue the insurer and your remedy may be against your customer-...

They did not allow me to obtain my license. This was 2011. What do I need to do to obtain my legal license for piercing? I do not want to go through an apprenticeship again since I still hold the knowledge. Hope you can help!

You must contact the Regulatory Agency in Nashville that handles such a License. They are the ones that issue the License.

If the licensee gives you permission to, then yes. But otherwise you are subject to the licensee claiming identity fraud.
A verbal agreement was made between me my roommate and landlord on when I must vacate do I legally have to sign a contract with my roommate still?
answered on Jul 2, 2021
Sometimes people can remember verbal agreements differently -
If you signed a lease on the front end, it would be best to clearly set out in a writing how the lease ends as to you. This would include your roommate -as you don't want either making a claim against you later.
answered on Jun 23, 2021
The term "as is" really relates to whether the seller is making any warranties or representations- not what is staying o going at the property. This really comes down to whether there is a paragraph in the contract that speaks to what is staying or not. A washer and dryer would... View More
If a contractor has done shoddy work and has not yet finished the job or fixed the issues - Can I bring them to small claims court? How long do I have to do so? Can I seek a refund on monies already paid? They have stopped returning my calls. They are also way past when they promised the work would... View More
answered on Jun 21, 2021
Yes. You can file a claim in Tennessee's version of small claims court- called General Sessions Court. You would feel out a pleading called a Warrant. You can also report the contractor to the state licensing board.
answered on May 28, 2021
Yes, if you can prove they forged your signature, Absolutely. This would be considered fraud.
It's been 5 months. I think the law only allows for 3 months. I've called the dealer every month and still no tags.

You may have to sue the dealer for breach of contract. The dealer may not have owned the car in the first place. You probably cannot apply for the lost title either. If a used car dealer, you may be able to make a claim with the State Regulatory Agency against their Bond.
Is my marriage on 9-22-1993 legal? If not, do I get a lawyer to type up a document stating I'm not legally married?
answered on May 20, 2021
I do not practice in this area - but I would think the marriage would have to be annulled as a void marriage. Hopefully you will get comments from someone that practices in the area.
There is a clause in our 3 year lease that’s titled “Vacating Upon Termination” and it states “Tenant agrees upon expiration of the term of this lease or upon early termination of the lease for any cause tenant will at once peacefully surrender the leased premises etc.” My question is if... View More
answered on May 16, 2021
The answer will depend on the language of your lease. If you have a three year lease- without any provision related to termination prior to this then you have a 3 year lease. The language you provided doesn't sound like enough to allow for an early termination.
I think the agency forgot to send me the contract that would not allow me to contact the nanny directly. Will they likely sue me if I just hire the nanny without paying them fees?
answered on Apr 9, 2021
This is one of those - but is it the right thing to do -questions. You contacted an agency - they supplied a person and now you want to hire directly because they either forgot or trusted you as to being able to communicate information - I anticipate you likely know what the fee is as well. I... View More

Did you sign the Deed? Hopefully not without being paid. Noone completes a real estate transfer without receiving some type of certified funds in hand. Wire Transfers are asking for a ripoff. Did anyone tell you that the funds were sent when they had not? You probably were talked into using... View More

Paying the bills does not give you an automatic right to more proceeds. You could file a Partition Action and ask the Chancellor for reimbursements, and you might get it out of the gross proceeds before net distribution. However you should ask for an agreement in writing first and put that in... View More
