A landlord can refuse to renew a contract for any reason as long as it is not discriminatory (based on race, sex, color, etc.). FS 83.64 is residential leases. Chapter 83, Part 1 governs non-residential leases. I would think the landlord would have agreed with you the machinery needed to be on... Read more »

And you want to know whether the power of attorney and the deed can be annulled, and you can examine the bank accounts? You need to retain a Florida attorney for the purpose of adjudicating your father incompetent as of the date of the POA.
What is our recourse?

The park owner is not required to allow someone to move in because they are credit risk. You would need to find a new buyer if the buyer is not willing to prepay the rent.
The transaction took place in Portland Oregon and I live in Florida. If they had followed the process of checking an ID they would not have leased the product.
answered on May 8, 2022
And you want to know what to do about it? Since you somehow found out about it, you should immediately inform them, in writing, that it was not you who leased the product. If they eventually file suit against you about the lease, they might do so in Oregon. In that case you will need an Oregon... Read more »
I am a physician and my contract states that my quality bonus, "to be paid within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year". It is now May 4th which is 114 days after the end of the year. Wondering if this is breech of contract and would I have options to get out of my... Read more »
answered on May 4, 2022
Best for you to consult an attorney in person, for review of the contract. Sounds like the employer is in breach, but it depends on whether a "quality bonus" is mandatory or discretionary. If the employer is in breach, the first step is for you to request compliance, and if they refuse,... Read more »

Your son needs to consult with a real estate lawyer immediately. This is not something you are going to be able to resolve with advice on the internet because a lawyer needs to review the contract and any other documents he signed.
I was given a locker with a bunch of stuff still in it. Among the papers and tools I found a certificate of shares for a company.
The written wording says 12 months. He wants to raise the rent after one year, more than 5% without 60 days notice-but it looks like I might have a two year lease, all this hold up in a court of law?
answered on Apr 29, 2022
A lawyer would have to read the lease agreement to see how it is written. Generally, when there are conflicting terms in a contract, a court will interpret it in favor of the person who did not draft it but not always. The court will also allow evidence other than the agreement to be introduced... Read more »
Can an attorney add his/her fees and to an amount a client offered to settle a case, increasing the settlement amount offered, then tacking on fees and cost on that increased amount?

The account was created using my private information without my consent they have no signature from me or employee that signed on the account they refuse to cancel and have sent me to collections and I’ve been harassed about this for over a year.
answered on Apr 15, 2022
Be sure that you keep copies of all correspondence by which you inform them that you didn't authorize them to create the account. It wouldn't hurt to send it certified mail. If they file suit against you for this, you will need that.

answered on Apr 1, 2022
Even if it stops making the panels, LG (and probably SunPro as well) would still be bound by its warranty. And, of course, since you should have read the contract, you are probably bound by it, including the cancellation fee.

As I wrote in answer to another question which I assume you asked, yes and yes. But for that much money it would be a good idea to have an attorney review the transaction.
answered on Mar 28, 2022
Yes, an IOU doesn't have to be notarized. However it should specify particular terms, such as what is the amount of the principal amount owed, when it is due, what if any interest is charged, etc. A witness and notarization can be useful to prove that it was in fact signed, but they are not...

If your employer had wanted you to sign such a document, they should have asked you to sign an employment agreement before your job was at an end. So no, you wisely choose not to sign it, although if you had you possibly would be able to argue that there was no consideration for the agreement and... Read more »
