Evidence of payment in full is not the same as actual receipt of payment. If you actually do pay before the bank foreclosure you may have an action for unlawful foreclosure.
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?
That when the sheriff will be called and he will put a 3 day vacate notice? I can be out by then just not the original 3 days posted by apartment complex
This notice is simply the first step a landlord must complete before they file a lawsuit in Court to have you evicted. The sheriff can not and will not do anything until they have a writ of execution from the Court, which is the document that commands the sheriff to forcibly remove you from the... Read more »
Bought a house and closed last Friday. Started renovating the master bath and found extensive termite damge and plain as day visible signs that they had termites. It's obvious someone knew about this issue at some point becaust they had the house treated and the termites aren't in the house... Read more »
Although I have not had a chance to review all the documents involved in the purchase and sale referred too it appears to me that you may be miss-interpreting the contract with respect to the existence--vel non--of termites. Unless the
contract(s) specifically say there is no termite... Read more »
I recently just received an eviction notice (July). I’ve been a tenant at the apartment that I am currently in since May 2018. When I rented the apartment I did not have a guarantor that met the criteria and therefore paid a deposit for two months rent that were suppose to be used in June/July of... Read more »
It's unclear whether you actually ended up renewing your lease or not. When are they saying you owe rent for?
It sounds like you're trying to move out and not owe rent, but they're saying you signed a lease and owe it. Is that right? My guess is they would likely be able to re-rent pretty... Read more »
Free bc he got up in church and confessed that the Lord told him to give her the house. No paperwork was ever exchanged. Now after 4 yrs he want her out along with her 3 children. Is this considered verbal contract since he announced he was giving her the home. And how should she proceed
Yes, of course it is a verbal contract. The fact That "the brother" made the statement in church in front of a bunch of people does not turn the verbal statement a written contract. However, there may be another cause of action involved here; but lawyers cannot represent clients through any of... Read more »

The amount of money involved is way too small to be of interest to most lawyers. FYI, the law is not designed to solve every little problem that comes your way during this lifetime; the Latin phrase for this rule is "De minimus non curat lex."
My car was on the side of the road for a little over a hour
It is unlawful to leave an unattended car on the side of most roads in every state. And--depending upon which road it is, the authorities will be sure to give tickets (and may even impound cars) when in interest of public safety.
We are leaving for vacation and he wants us to leave a key to watch the place but give it to someone we don't know to watch our house. I'm not comfortable with it. I want to know where i stand
Generally the owner or mortgage holder has the right of inspection. That right is usually granted in the contract documents. However giving them a key is a big ask. My suggestion would be to give a key to someone you trust if they want to inspect. Without seeing the paperwork I am just stating... Read more »
But I'm not able to so now I have a car I can't register..the bill of sale did say he wasn't liable for the title or car after signing..what rights as a buyer do I have if any
Sue him for what is called recision--means unwinding the deal--and also for what you paid. Hopefully you can do that in small claims.You'll have a problem if the bill of sales said that and you still signed, but give it a shot. You can also talk to the attorney generals consumer division if he was... Read more »
My lease states landlord is responsible for repairs. The maintenance person that works for my landlord tells me they are busy & won't do repairs. I have a letter in writing signed by my landlord stating that the repairs I mentioned, will be done within a week of the letter. That was in November
You need to take your lease to a lawyer for review. In Arkansas, generally in a party to a contract materially breaches the contract, then the other party is released from performing under the contract.
My home has been broken into. Repairs aren't being done. My lease states landlord is responsible for repairs.

Now they put her in motel for over two months. When she went to extend. Her stay the hotel said no because she had damaged to room. So now the insurance company say they will not get her any where to stay. She has six kids now no where to live on street
They may have a duty to reimburse her; they certainly have no duty to find a place for her. Has she contacted the red cross?
Also, if the state has a crime victims compensation act that may help.
I was under contract with USPS and my contract was not up until 2018, however I got into an argument with the postmaster and was not allowed back into post office. They continued to pay me until 10/16 then sent me a bill for $200,000. HELP
I suspect you will need to better identify the nature of the contract, as that will determine whether your matter is a "government contracts" issue, which is a very specialized area, or a more general litigation matter.
I also have a letter from friend stating I would be paid back in full. Now, my friend won't even take my calls.
If the sum is not really large, you may be able to file in small claims court in your city or county. Hopefully, you have some evidence that the money was given and there was an intention of paying it back. You should contact a local attorney so that he can go over what evidence of the debt you...

I assume you've asked for them. Personal items they should let you have; it'll help if you get your insurance to tell them to let you pick them up. The operating philosophy of towing companies is that they have your car and it' contents to hold as hostage.... Read more »
