Can the bylaws be written so an A.I.'s choices are recognized by a corporate board or the AI's code be recognized as part of the bylaws and by default, its choices have to be recognized?
Attempting setting up bylaws in this manner could be problematic. It may be better to decide what your business objective is. An attorney can evaluate your needs and seek to implement your business objectives by recognized legal means. It may be unnecessary to attempt a highly unusual approach. You... Read more »

I have, since I left that company, started my own company and I am ready to do business as a sole proprietor under my own operators license. How long do I have to wait until I can legally solicit the clients from my old route/ company? Thank you.
If you signed a non-compete agreement with your prior employment, the term would be spelled out in that contract. Those agreements must be limited in scope and duration, and specific as to those parameters. If you didn’t sign any such agreement, then you may solicit whomever you wish, as long... Read more »

Then again charge for the cleaning fee separate?
Layered out like this.
Total reservation (including cleaning fee) = $1,500 - total direct deposited into owners account
Property manager charges “20% of gross profit from TPHR” = $300
Cleaning fee $150 = $150 x 2... Read more »
It would seem to me that since the cleaning fee is charged to occupant separate from rental fee the PM is entitled to the percent times the rental fee and not both, otherwise this is taking the 20% on the cleaning fee twice. But you may have agreed to allow them to do it, look at your contract.... Read more »

The Company suffers a 100K loss and my share means 60k loss is past to me... would I be affecting my personal AGI by 20k or 60k? If I had 50k actual income would my AGI tax liability be zero 0 or would it be 30k??? Thank you for this service and your input.
You should consult a tax attorney to advise you on the LLC being taxed as an S corporation with the LLC terms and potential legal peril of an S Corp having two types of stock. Generally, your loss is limited to your basis. I hope this helps. Good luck. Zaher Fallahi, Esq, CPA (CA &D.C.).... Read more »

There are property rights that can be gained through the concept of "Adverse Possession," but these rights take years, not months. I don't see how the management company can force you to move out of a motorhome that you own, but without a lease, it can certainly force you to move the motorhome.
I am one of three directors. Since he had the tie-breaking vote, he picked the other two.
You don't say where your corporation is incorporated, but as far as I know, upon organization, the shareholders can draft their by-laws and share holder's agreement anyway they want. If you agree that this 50% shareholder has the deciding vote, then you are stuck with it. Typically the... Read more »
