A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. At this point, you could reach out to local attorneys who handle defamation matters. However, it's worth keeping in mind that even if a situation meets a textbook definition of libel or slander, many law firms... View More

If you are buying while in Fla., Fla. law should apply. Regardless, to take legal action, you must see the terms that you agreed to for what procedures and venues apply for resolving any dispute. You likely checked a box for "terms and conditions". By doing that, you agreed to the... View More

Depending on your location, you could be dealing with privacy laws AND publicity laws, and a failure to obtain a signed release could expose you to serious civil liability.

By your opening admission, this is the bed that you made, so I doubt the Florida courts will get involved.
I am in California. The house is in Ormond Beach Florida. The house belongs to a vile, mentally unstable woman that has bullied me and others online for almost a year. A friend in Florida offered to go by her house and take pictures. He ended up confessing to her that he took the pictures. I did... View More

Generally speaking the taking of photographs of real property is not a crime. However you’re choice of words about the resident would give one reason to question your acts and motive. One last observation, you should be very careful about what you choose to put on the internet…all you have... View More

This is a brand new case that was just filed last week.
There is no settlement, no judgement, nothing to claim at this point.

Nobody is required to furnish internet access, unless the requirement is specifically mentioned in the lease. You have some options, I think: pay to upgrade the condo's cabling; move; or see if you can access the internet via satellite or some other wireless method of connecting to the... View More

You should report to the police.
As far as leaking photos, you should consider filing for copyright registration and sue him for infringement.
You should consult with an attorney quick.
