Florida doesn't have income taxes. The U.S. government does. I suggest you go to irs.gov, download a form 1040, and the instructions for that form. After reviewing those documents, you should have a better idea of how income tax works.

The way you describe the facts, I'd call it a crime, which should be reported to the police (plus you'd have various civil causes of action, meaning grounds for a lawsuit). However, if you got into some kind of dispute with the seller and/or manager, they might have a completely different... View More

They offer two payment methods online; pay by credit card or pay with bank account. Both options charge a convenience fee. They do not offer any other way to pay the dues. My understanding is that the convenience fee is only charged as a convenience alternative to a standard method of payment.

If you mail a check they have to accept it. They cannot legally refuse any form of legal tender. The problem you might face is proving they received the payment. They cannot require only online payment but if they provide for online payment they can charge a convenience fee.

Your question is whether you have a valid claim against the storage place if you have to sue. The direct answer is yes. It seems that the service is below the bar of the industry. For that, they should be responsible for cleaning and loss of items.

Delaware law applies in this situation. The promissory note is held personally. This promissory note is from a purchase of a business and the buyer claims that the deal was fraudulent. Can they just stop paying you even though they have not proven that the purchase is fraudulent?

If Delaware law applies, you must direct your question to Delaware attorneys. You instead directed your question to Florida.
