I’ve moved my furniture out of the place, returned my keys, and have started the process of returning my deposit. Is there a written agreement in Michigan specifically that is required?
A lease is a contract. Generally, the parties are bound by the provisions of a signed lease. Turning in the keys is a unilateral step only. Without the landlord's release, you would still be obligated on the contract.
In the briefest terms, the seller is probably not exempt.

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.
I think we'll need more information to offer an insight.
Depending on the power of the co-op board, it might be able to dictate certain guidelines, there are sometimes 'reasonable' boundaries, but oftentimes what is ever is written in the bylaws controls.
The contract expires 3/8/2021. We notified the waste removal company that we intend not to renew the contract on 2/23/2021, but contract terms force us into renewal unless a certified letter was mailed on or prior to 1/8/2021. We are not happy with service, and we would like to avoid this ongoing... Read more »
The renewal provision is probably enforceable.
If the hauler is not performing in accordance with the contract, notify it in writing of the deficiency. Perhaps you can terminate the contract if the deficiency is not cured. Without a copy of the contract, I am at a disadvantage in trying... Read more »
She's not on any bills or the rental agreement however we have lived together for a year now. She refused to move continues to tell me to "evict her" do I have to go through an official eviction processor is there another way?
If she is holding over after a 'legal' lease (whether or not her name is on anything the facts you present make her a 'legal' tenant on a month to month basis at the very least) you DO need to go through an eviction process if she refuses to move out voluntarily.

I got a car with my grandpa as cosigner. He later got diagnosed having dementia. My uncle then became person in charge of his affairs, his financials included. My vehicle was repossessed for non payment of three months. I didnt receive any notices. I later found out notices had been sent to my... Read more »
Were you supposed to make the monthly payments? It is not clear in your question.
Not a lot you can do to avoid this debt. Despite the lack of notice, you (or your grandpa) was required to make the payment. When the payment is not made, default occurs. The creditor can then proceed with... Read more »
in Michigan law if there is no name or contact information as to who constructed the contract on the contract, who has a legal rite to object to the counter claim filed because as far as I knew only the drafter of the contract has the rite to file suit and object to counter claim
For purposes of some claim of breach, it doesn't matter who drafted the contract. Either party may state a claim that a breach occurred. Where who drafted the contract comes into play is when there is some ambiguity in the language that substantiates the breach; when the contract is ambiguous,... Read more »
Accountant says I can turn it over to State of Michigan division of corporations.
There is no procedure for the state to accept a transfer to it of a membership interest in an LLC. It should be possible to resign as a member. You should consult with an attorney who can review the entire situation, and the accountant may be useful for advice as to potential tax consequences or... Read more »
LLC is suing a Member by another Member who has equal share. The defending Member is not representing LLC. Does Member being sued have to represented by counsel. If so, why, if the Member is not defending the LLC
The general rule in most states is that business entities, such as LLCs, must be represented by a licensed attorney in court. Individuals generally may appear pro se, meaning that they may represent themselves, in court proceedings and lawsuits.
That said, it is best generally best... Read more »
LLC filed a complaint against a MEMBER in the LLC on behalf of the LLC and the Judge said I have to have an attorney but a lawyer told me I don't need a lawyer because I am not defending the LLC
Yes. The LLC is a separate entity that cannot represent itself and therefore must be represented by an attorney.
If she isn’t gone within last date, what do we need to do to take possession of our property?
You would need to commence an eviction action.
I was buying a house and closer decided to end the deal due to lender not meeting closing date. I know meeting closing date is not guaranteed but every time I try to contact them they never called back. When I was finally able to contact them (two day before my closing date) they said they needed... Read more »
Are you using a Realtor? That person is probably the first person you should (or should have been) in contact with. Generally, since the mortgage lender is not a part of the contract you made with the seller, it would be hard to assign liability to them.
responsible for paying their bills. They did not pay us. Do we have to go after the school because that's who the contract is between or can we go after the third party that signed the contract?
It sounds like the contract was with the third party, in which case you need to pursue the third party. An attorney could review the documents and make that determination.
I field a motion to dismiss and filed for hearing . The plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgement last week . My question do I have to answer them if I'm waiting for my court hearing ?
Yes, or the motion may be granted, meaning that you lose the suit. You may want to consult an attorney.
I applied for a self-contained special education position. After being hired I was told that the district has decided to change the position to a co-teaching position. My contract only says that the position is a special education teacher position. It does not specify what type of special ed... Read more »
I don't believe a breach of an employment contract would jeopardize your teacher certification. Your contract probably provides for some provision allowing you to quit or resign with appropriate notice, so I'm not sure if there is a breach.
apparently they do not offer gap insurance on the type/length of loan we have. But we sign paperwork stating they will cover it 2 months ago.
There may be language in the GAP contract allowing them to back out. Obviously you should get your money back for the contract. If it was part of your finance contract, you may want to request a new breakdown of costs because the Truth in Lending Act requires them to provide perfectly accurate... Read more »
With remote learning, what happens if I don't agree to the terms and conditions of a 3rd party company/software, Zoom, Google, etc, they're using, can the state say I'm not teaching my child under the law? What if I don't agree to them being on camera and a 3rd party recording... Read more »
If you don't agree to the terms of service for the video platform your school uses, than you cannot participate in the virtual learning offered through the school.

I'm planning on moving out and I still have a lease on my apartment, my roommate wants to take on the full lease at a later time, until then am I responsible for the utilities in her name until then or just what's in my name? We have no agreement outside of the lease with the apartment... Read more »
Once we get the facts laid out, the answer will become clear.
If the lease is in your name and you move out with the expectation that the roommate is going to sublet from you, you and the roommate need to determine the terms of the sublet. If the roommate is going to "take on the full... Read more »

You want to know if you have a meritorious case. A lawyer will require a lot more information to answer this question. The biggest problem with your potential case is the verbal contract. Your recording may or may not be admissible in court based on multiple factors. If it's not admissible,... Read more »
