He has shown he will break the law how can he still arrest people and testify after showing he will break the law He was caught on camera planting evidence
Same answer as the other questions.
Fence contractor dug through my outside sewer line. Contract states they are not liable for unknown obsticles such as sewer lines. My question lies in do they carry any liablity in that they never informed us of the damage and moreover actually placed the fence post and concrete footing into the... Read more »
If their contract says that, and you signed it, then they might not be liable.
But they might not have followed all the consumer protection requirements to give you notice of 3 day right to cancel, etc. If those were required, and they didn't, then that could void their contract, so they... Read more »
Home owners insurance company stated that it is not an emergency to have no running hot water for five days and a two year old in the house. That because it's a plumbing issue even though in they're policy it states otherwise.
I'm sorry for your ordeal with a baby in the house. You could review the policy with a Nevada attorney, but if it is similar to most homeowner policies, the circumstances you describe might not be covered. Every policy is different and without seeing your policy, it's difficult to guess what it... Read more »
For work completed she claims it’s not right however we have tried to make things right and make her happy she won’t let us on property she says we needed a license and permits which is false what grounds do we have to get paid for work completed
Depending on how much you are owed, you could pursue the matter in small claims court. The maximum allowed is $10,000. Also, contractors that have provided materials and labor to property may have lien rights against the real property.
As I understand it, general contractors in NC are not required to be licensed for construction contracts under $30,000. Does that apply for any subcontractors the general contractor may hire to complete the overall construction contract / project?
Any subcontractors hired by the general contractor should be performing work included in the scope of the general contractor's contract. Thus, the general contractor's contract would have to exceed $30,000 if the sub's contract exceeds $30,000.00. Subcontractors work under the supervision and... Read more »
The shingle company is trying to hold me up for the cost of shingles that the contractor did not pay for though I have no contract with them.
Unless you were in cahoots with the contractor and the supplier of the shingles can prove it you may be in the clear. On the other hand, since you have a claim against the contractor why not agree to help the supplier get the money you paid to the contractor?
The construction company is taking their time to do the work and right now its December. How long does the contraction company have until he finishes my business renovation if there were no dates in the contract? I go to the job site everyday and they might be only working one or two days out of... Read more »
You will need to meet with a construction law attorney to go over all the details. You do not state, for instance, what percentage of the contract work has been completed, and of course, the contract terms need to be reviewed for both determining obligations and remedies. The law generally writes... Read more »

Cannot imagine that the work taking 2 1/2 years did not breach at least a portion of the contract. Was it properly permitted and installed by a licensed installer? The emails may establish a waiver. Have you been able to stay in the house? I would imagine that an occupancy permit was not issued.
This a brand new community. It's labeled as a recreational facilities agreement. It states: "The developer shall contract the following for the Largo Town Centre: ..." However, the community name is Largo Creseant. I find it odd that they would build a gym, gazebos, and tennis courts away from the... Read more »
You should consult local counsel to see what options you have. Without seeing the agreement it's hard to say whether anyone breached the contract.

He is probably right about the dry rot.
That was already there before they came along.
It’s probably good it was discovered as it could have gotten much worse or even dangerous!
No comments.
No, not automatically as a general matter. But parties can extend the statute of limitations through a written agreement if they are both willing to do so. Good luck

The contractor I work for was doing a job for a company called CFS Complete Facility Solutions. We did construction work for them at a Taco Bell. We completed the job and during that process. A corporation called Cushman and Wakefield bought CFS. The contract says they have 90 days to pay us and... Read more »
If you are an employee of this contractor, your employer cannot make you wait for your pay until a client pays. You are entitled to payment on regularly designated pay days.
As to why there is a delay, there could be any number of reasons and no one here can know that answer. There are... Read more »

If you consulted with an attorney regarding such a letter or legal action, they would likely want to see each individual review. If they're negative, it's possible that in itself is not necessarily actionable. An attorney who deals with defamation would examine if they were false and harmful, among... Read more »

We submitted billing for a partial contract amount, waited for two months only to find out that the general contractor is requireing us to submit a materials/ labor breakdown. This was not stated in the initial signed contract and in my opinion is a breach of what I consider to be trade secrets.
Normally if you have a fixed price contract, the other party cannot ask to see your labor and material costs.
The contract you have might require this, or require a list of your subcontractors, so please review your contract in detail or have legal counsel do so.
Products Liability.

No, of course you can't do that.

The cost to litigate such a case could exceed the replacement costs to the heater. If other residents in your area also sustained related damages, that could help spread legal costs. That could be something to look into before consulting with a local attorney. Good luck

I know that the the company has a standard contract that they will not change. I also know that the builder has a very good consumer affairs rating. The state where I currently live requires an attorney for real estate deals, but Nevada does not. I do not know if it will change anything to have an... Read more »
If you feel confident in putting your entire trust and faith in the person on the other side of the deal, that then becomes a personal decision on your part. Also, is the builder being represented by an attorney?
