The maid opened the door twice that day while I was in my room. I told the manager who was unaware of the 2 events. I asked that nobody enter my room while I was away. My request was not honored.
Let's see, "you asked that no one entered your room while you were away" and you said that was not honored. I do not see that here and unless you were filming, you cannot prove same. As for entering when you are there, it's entirely possible there was knock, both times, but you... Read more »

"Influenced by your original song" may or may not be a derivative work. His audio needs to be compared to your work.

I'm in default but have learned that the contractor needed a separate permit to perform the work so that the work would be reviewed by the city and signed off accordingly. That was part of the contract, that I would have to pay them once the city signed off the permit. Since they didn't... Read more »

She kept 0ayi g payments but now the police are. Asking questions is she in slot of trouble
It is fraud, likely felony theft, and possibly perjury. Talk to an attorney fast. Pay the rest of the loan off immediately if possible.
liable for what? why wouldn't the dealer report the purchase to insurance to protect their interest?
owe late fees and won't give us the keys.
not sure what the question here is. also not clear if you purchased a new house or are renting one. different laws apply and therefore lawyers don't always practice in both arears of law. maybe rewrite and report your post and question with more information and details.

I signed a rental agreement in September of 2020 and I noticed a clause that said the property management company will perform non-specific inspections, pretty much to check on the property and the tenants. We haven't been here 90 days and they are already trying to do said inspection. Do they... Read more »
Leases customarily have landlord inspection clauses. They also have specific notice requirements and the notices must be in writing. If your lease has these provisions it is legal and valid. I recommend you cooperate with the property management company and let them inspect. Otherwise, you will... Read more »
