I am subleasing an office space in Orlando. The sublessor has been late the last 4 months even thought I paid my rent to them. As a result, the property landlord has sent me eviction notices the last 4 months. Ultimately, by the middle of each month, the sublessor remits payment. I can not go... Read more »
It will depend up the terms of your sublease, but yes, perhaps. Consult with an attorney who can review the sublease document and all surrounding circumstances.
Wife & I rented a home with a friend during the beginning of her divorce paying all initial costs, etc. After a short time, it was clear it would not work. After multiple attempts to discuss options, the only option she would agree to was her keeping the home. This meant having us replaced on the... Read more »
She can report anything she feels like, but I suppose you're asking if you are at some kind of legal risk if she does. It's unclear from your description if you're talking about just one solitary email asking for payment that triggered her reaction, but if just the one, there should be no legal... Read more »
He received an offer on his home and told me I didn’t need to redo the patch work I supposedly “ruined his walls” with. After his inspection recently fell thru, he now has text me that he is getting quotes to repair the patch work to the tune of $2150. Interestingly enough, my security... Read more »
If you don't have anything in writing that he waived his requirement, you will have to repair the wall. You can repair yourself or hire someone cheaper though.
There is not nearly enough information here for lawyers to guess at.

I live in housing that gets government funding. Per our lease agreement, The landlord is required to give 60 days notice if they're not renewing a lease, which they didn't do.

Contact the federal or state funding agency and present this situation to them. There may be some other contingency term in the landlords contract with the agency that resolves this dispute.
Roomates have been harassing me periodically.
If you have not signed the lease you are not responsible for the rent. I assume there is no agreement among the roommates.

I have also a contract with this same person to have vapor barrier installed. He said he would do it, but I have not seen him since September. What can I do?
Send him a letter by certified mail that the contract is cancelled for non-performance on his part. Then find another contractor.
I have emailed them and called them. It is a book publisher. They have not given me a statement or payment.
It could be, but if you get paid a few days late what are your damages? I suspect they will be minimal.

Generally speaking, when there is a contract, it is not cancellable unless both sides agree or other compelling reasons, mostly for the other party's fault--misrepresentation, mistake, anticipatory breach.... Pricing is not one of the reasons you can justify your request for restitution.
I paid a company a $20k deposit and was told they have filed bankruptcy. This has not been confirmed and I have not received any notices in the mail. I would like to know my options.
I am not an attorney in Florida but believe your recommended course of action is the same. First, if a company filed bankruptcy, it is public information and therefore accessible. That would be the easiest starting point to determine if the company has filed. Sometimes, companies say they... Read more »
The company is located in Titusville, Florida and I am located in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Your husband already solved the problem; all you need to do is hire a criminal defense lawyer before the police come back-early one morning.
My letter was returned to me by board president shredded in pieces.
You are wasting your time. If you want your HOA to pay attention to you I suggest you hire a lawyer experienced in these kinds of HOA/member disputes and pay them to advise you how to get records from your HOA.
Depending upon the product or kind of service involved, most "dealers or agents" do have someone sign every bill of sale or retail installment contract at some point in the process. However, they do not normally do it immediately; that is probably why the copy you have is not signed.
I rented a vacation home in Florida for two weeks directly through email using a Paypal payment. I found the house through vrbo.com which states no pets are allowed, though I did not see this statement, though I did not book through vrbo.com, but direct through the homeowner and pet policy was...

Sue for what? The $200 deposit? What else are you wanting to sue for? Breach of privacy? That dog won’t hunt here oh Florida.

You need to consult an attorney handling consumer protection matters in person, in order to show the purchase agreement and go through the whole story. One issue is whether you signed an "AS IS" contract (an unwise thing to do). If you did, that would present an obstacle to recovery, though in... Read more »
