I returned a lease and took another one from the same dealership when they returned the car to the finance co the car was sold for less then the car is worth and now I am being charged for the difference the dealership is saying it’s not their problem am I responsible for the difference
You need to review the terms of your original lease and/or financing agreement. When you return a car at the end of he lease you are at the mercy of the dealer/financing agent, who sell the car at the easiest price to obtain, usually at a dealer's auction where the cars go for a fraction of...

Ideally I do not want to purchase the business name etc I will change it to a smog check station. Also if you can go over the lease it would be great.
Yes, what you are requesting is possible ... and, as you might imagine, there are a number of other issues to consider. I would recommend that you schedule a few initial free consultations, by video call or telephone call, with two or three different attorneys ... Shawn Jackson - Business... Read more »
The bike was advertised as a 2003 when it was a 2001. Bike was advertised as excellent condition with no issues. The bike has a major oil leak that only shows up after riding it for 15 minutes or more.
You have a lot of issues about the purchase of this motorcycle. Perhaps you should just sue the seller in Small claims and put it all before a judge there, because apparently it is not worth enough for you to retain an attorney to assist you to sort this out. The other post about the DMV manager... Read more »
I want to work with a contractor that is based in Russia, and I need an NDA that would legally hold the contractor accountable if there was a breach in the contract that required us the go to a US court. Are there templates of NDA's that take into consideration working with someone over seas?
You probably need a custom NDA. To me the bigger question is, once this Russian contractor breaches the NDA, how are you going to enforce it? Go to federal court here and get an injunction against someone in Russia? Who do you think will enforce that? Putin? If they don't have a... Read more »
Verbal and email agreement says we pay when delivered. They keep putting off delivery. We'll be glad to pay when they get here.
I doubt that they are required to return the gates before you pay for them. They have a mechanics lien on the property until they have been paid for their work.
If I have a roommate leaving, am I responsible for finding a new roommate for the landlord? I moved in after the current roommate.
Also, can they force me to pay for the other roommates cost once they leave? Or am I only legally allowed to pay for my agreed share?
What you are responsible for is seeing that 100% of the rent gets paid. If you have a roommate that pays part, that is good, but this does not mean that the LL is obligated to find you a replacement if that RM leaves. The roommate benefits you, not the LL. So if the roommate moves out, you are... Read more »
I signed my commercial lease to open a boutique fitness studio in March 2020, right before the locked down that no one could have predicted at the time I signed my lease.

Was inform that I’m not going to complete my side. I’m not able to pay off loan. Buyer now wants proof of amount owed and doesn’t want to take his deposit back. Threatening litigation.
Ralph Kramden used to threaten to send his wife Alice "to the moon!!!" People can threaten a lot of things, kind of like tots having temper tantrums. If you had a conditional agreement to sell based on being able to pay off the loan, then the buyer does not have any right or interest in... Read more »

I have been leasing a car with this company (short term lease) that operates through a mobile app. I was required to link a bank account for the weekly payments. For two years, the payments were processed weekly, and I received the invoice through the mail every week. Last month they called me and... Read more »
IMO your alarm bells are ringing for good reason. This sounds like a scam to get your bank information. Take all precautions, such as calling the company instead of just taking calls. Get the name and employee ID number on each person you speak to. Do not just deal with a clerk ask to speak to... Read more »

If your story is accurate, then the breeder does not own your dogs or your puppies, but you will have to hire an attorney to defend against whatever her claims are. It is unclear whether you have any claims to assert against her.
I find the story a little far fetched. She offers stud... Read more »

International law can be tricky. IMO you need to go to the American Embassy with a POA in English and have it notarized by a consulate official there in order to have the best effect. The POA will be in the name of whomever you choose to act on your behalf. Have you contacted your LL to see if he... Read more »
The insurance has already called them more than once to inform them that there is an allowance but still they are overcharging me. A financial agreement was signed and the dentists stated on the agreement that those were the allowed insurance and treatment charges but it was all a lie and fraud. My... Read more »
You could file such a lawsuit, but IMO what you really have is a run of the mill breach of contract suit against the dentist. This really is not something to be excited about, and it is not going to go to the Supreme Court. You should write a calm and polite letter to the dentist with a copy of... Read more »

Hmm, let me consult my crystal ball about the chance a Judge will decide in your favor. Eureka!! It says you have a very good chance of overturning the default based on public policy!!!!

I signed a contract that stated I could cancel services anytime for any reason minus a $100 fee and be refunded. There is a privacy clause in it that states I cannot talk about the contract or post anywhere online (like yelp) about my experience or services. If the person has not refunded me the... Read more »
"The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club." Under contract law, it depends whether this is a covenant or a condition. If the honoring of the terms of the cancellation is a condition to your being silent, then the failure of the condition relieves you of your... Read more »

As a favor to a friend, I plan to lease them a furnished condo at $1300/mo for 4 months. After that period, I would like to write a new month-to-month contract at the going rate of $2000/mo. Is this large rent increase allowed under CA law? It would be a new contract. They just sold a house and are... Read more »
You may be limited to a 10% increase per year. I would suggest that you make the rental agreement for the $2000, and give them a rent credit of $700 per month for the first 4 months, after that the full amount of the rent will be due. Or you could give them a scaled credit, month 1- $700, 2-... Read more »

I cannot tell what role you played in all of this, you do not say if you are the owner or one of the co-tenants that was under reimbursed.
