I signed a contract to buy a property, then made a counteroffer which was accepted. Now the owner must pursue a quiet title and has not signed the extension of the closing date. Am I still obligated to buy?
Your contract controls. If you are not clear as to its interpretation then have an attorney review it. I suspect it calls for the seller to convey clear title.
The landlord did not make sure that the property was deemed habitable before my move in date. They are now wanting me sign a revised move in date change lease and I refuse and want my money back.
It ua necessary to review the whole contract to know whether it can be rescinded. However, it is worth mentioning that the Covenant of Habitability is part of a lease agreement. You contact a housing attorney. Good luck!
I was rushed into signing a 2 year lease agreement via docsign without seeing the property first (although I requested to see it and they ignored my request). After viewing the property, my child had an allergic reaction to the carpet and things were not in good standing at the property. Was not... Read more »
You are in a bad position. The fact that you felt rushed and chose to sign without seeing the place is an explanation but is legally irrelevant. You chose to sign nonetheless. If you were not to pay rent and get sued then a court would likely find that the signed lease controls. You’ve raised... Read more »

It’s not a lawsuit unless you sue and have a case number. I don’t think that it will be worth your spending thousands of dollars to sue and doubt that any attorney will represent you on a contingency basis because your damages are not easily quantifiable. Plus, you are entitled to go see a... Read more »

What is hospitality law can they just throw us out without eviction
I've got no idea what your landlord is referring to. If you are on a month-to-month tenancy then either side can give proper notice to terminate the lease.
The account number is missing 2 numbers. Example: contract signed at hospital. J1234567. Account number on bills they sent me after service have J001234567. The 2 account numbers don't fully match. Can I use that to get the case dismissed?
I hope you have a better defense than that one because it doesn’t sound like a winner.
A friend of mine needed a place to live about two years ago and he needed a cosigner. Not wanting him to end up homeless, I co-signed. The lease I signed was a one year lease. Two years later I get a letter because he was not and is still not able to pay rent for about two months worth. I... Read more »
It is important to read the lease to see if addresses your issue. In general, if a written lease term expires and a tenant holds over with consent if the landlord then the lease term becomes month to month subject to all of the remaining provisions of the written lease
I bought and fixed a car recently. When I went to go have it put under my name, I realized that we cant find the title and bill of sale. I am worried that if I ask the previous owner to get a new copy, he will say I stole the car and I will lose my hard work and money. How should I go about this?
A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Motor vehicle departments generally provide instructions on how to request a duplicate title. You could contact your state DMV offices to learn more. Good luck

If you did not hire the contractor then I don't think you have a legal basis to sue the contractor. But I believe it is worth looking into suing the sellers for violation of Missouri's Merchandising Practces Act (MPA). Here's a blog article that I wrote. Beware, Missouri's... Read more »
