Your current state is Virginia
I am the secretary for a 501c3 focused on supporting military and ex-military veterans. We have a unique situation where the group acquired a motorcycle trike, which the group would like to "loan" to a biker who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. We want to know if we should... Read more »
Liability attaches to whoever owns the trike as well as whoever is driving it when an accident occurs. So if the club owns the trike (name on the title) they cannot avoid liability by leasing it or selling it subject to a purchase money loan. Hire an experienced lawyer to help keep the club on this...

my lease expired on march 23rd 2021. Originally I had given a 30 day notice (what’s required per my lease) and was planning on moving to a new complex, but decided to retract my notice and just transfer units (switch from 1 to 2 bed). I have been waiting for over a month for my transfer request... Read more »
Your old lease expired, and you haven't signed a new one. For most leases, this means you're a month to month tenant. Check your lease to be sure. If that's the case, you must give a 30 day notice to terminate the lease.
...of every member of the contract, BEFORE any kind of negotiation starts?
Thanks
Generally, parties are free to negotiate any terms to any agreement. Occasionally an offer could be accepted, forming a contract, if it contains basic terms (but required terms) and if it is properly 'accepted.'
There are numerous exceptions, but without more information... Read more »
In the PDF you see the signed contract and a copy of the passport of each actor. The originals are non-existing (paperless office). Would my PDF document/scan suffice in the court of law in the US should that be necessary one day?
It could depend on the court system. There is no universal standard nationwide - there are different jurisdictions and different court systems, where different courts might have their own requirements. Digital files are commonly used in discovery exchanges, but it would probably be advisable to... Read more »
Why or Why not?
The court decides the claims asserted by the parties to the contract. If two parties of equal bargaining power agree to the terms of a contract, the court might not have any reason to second guess what they agreed, even if the terms favor one of them. But issues raised by the parties to the... Read more »
As a general premise, judicial systems are public. In the U.S., court systems are operated by the government on the federal, state, and local levels. In the U.S., Article III of the Constitution establishes federal courts ("The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one... Read more »
I was talking to the manager about leasing my horse. She said she’d be happy to help me out. All the sudden I go to the barn and I’m told I can’t do anything with my horse because she is leased on a contract I’ve never signed or read. She is also making money off this contract which I feel... Read more »
Meet with a contracts/business law attorney and show the contract there. We really cannot provide dependable information to you when we have not read the agreement's terms.
I wanted to get a very large drain fixed in front of my parking spot because I’ve fallen into it and my car is damaged because of it and I called the city, they came to look at it and the maintenance people kicked them off the property and came to my apartment and yelled at me for trying to get...

No. Those are not grounds to break your lease.
In the briefest terms, the seller is probably not exempt.
The Michigan seller's disclosure statement but be provided for the sale of any residential dwelling units between 1 and 4 (single family homes to four family apartment buildings). The statement is not required if there is a... Read more »
And now I find out that apparently there are utilities besides consumers connected to the apartment how can I hold them accountable for never giving me this information
It looks like your question is originating in Ohio, but in the Michigan law section.
There just isn't enough information to provide even a remote answer, regardless you'll probably need to contact an attorney directly for a consultation on this.
They were supposed to perform inspections.
I’ve reported (on their website form) my tenant (to DHA) for using fraudulent info to obtain funds.
Tenant left a lot of trash behind that shows how she manipulated the system to pay her rent and child support including fictitious phone... Read more »
I'm not sure why this is labeled Criminal Law but a lawsuit to recover money is always some flavor of civil law... consult an attorney with experience suing the government to find out about the immunity issues.
It would be helpful for you to state the subject matter of your intended claim - for example, contract dispute, non-performance of a contracted job, consumer fraud, employment discrimination, employment termination/discipline, etc.
The puppy was vet checked and had a clear bill of health before leaving my home. My contract states they have 72 hours max to get the puppy in with a vet for a wellness checkup and send me proof that this had been done. If this isn't done my health guarantee is voided. The client didn't... Read more »
Hire a contract attorney.
He's into real estate but I'm new wanting to start buying properties. What actions can I take to make sure I'm covered on my part that way everything does not fall on me?
The most important thing is to get a lawyer to review every part of this deal before you do it, and I'd be suspicious from the start. It's telling that he can get "us" a $2 million loan. Sounds like trouble already, because he's using your credit to do his business. This... Read more »
THe first Buyers that we were under contract with backed out of the contract 14 days after the contracted settlement date and weeks after Due Dilligence had expired. The closing attorney that represented the, last I heard because the attorney no longer responds to my emails or calls, has the money... Read more »
I would have to review the contract to see what you are entitled to. There is a big difference between earnest money and a due diligence fee.
if the police are called to the residence they can be evicted. Is this legal
Generally yes, I would have to review the lease to see it in context but I frequently write that into leases I draft.
They made us sign a paper saying that I must disclose all medical conditions including mental illness and if I withhold any information and they find out I could get fired. So if I were to show up to work and told someone I had depression they said that they could fire me for that. But is this even... Read more »
More information is needed to explore your situation, but this certainly sounds like it could be an unlawful practice. You should consult an employment law attorney in your area to discuss.

Your question isn't about employment law. Rather, it is about contract law. So long as the subject in terms of the contract do not involve contraband or other illegal activity, it has long been established that a person's right to contract is unlimited. Nobody "makes" you do... Read more »
Plaintiff sued in contract case (Law Division, Cook County IL). I filed Answers, Aff. Defenses and Counterclaim. Plaintiff did not file a formal answer; rather, they filed Motion for Summary Judgment. Did they forfeit any legal points or put themselves to disadvantage by doing so?
Yes they did. Motions for summary judgment are controlled by 735 ILCS 5/2-1005. If you are responding to a motion for summary judgment you need to become familiar with this statute. As a general principle, the court will grant summary judgment if the pleadings, depositions, admissions, and... Read more »
