You do not have to ever record a Deed. But if you do not, then the Deed is only controlling between the Parties in the Deed, with no notice to the world of title. Without recording, others can claim title instead of the actual owner.

This is a worker's compensation question. Repost in that category for a better answer. You need to consult an attorney in your local area that practices this kind of law. Thank you for using Justia Ask a Lawyer. Short answer, some states require it unless you have opted out before the injury.

Since you apparently did not agree to these terms, it's very doubtful that you are directly liable for it. But be careful, the owner, presumably your landlord, may be liable and he/she may be able to pass the costs onto you through the Lease.

If it can’t be done, it can’t be done.

Tell the landlord you’re sorry, you’ll pay to replace the driveway, but you’re not going to pay for yet another attempt to clean the stain created by your car.

It sounds like you're doing business in a state, other than NH as well as NH. You can do that but I suggest you hire an attorney to review the full picture so a suitable recommendation can be made.

It depends. Each contract and situation will need to be evaluated on its own. Were you personally damaged by this contractor? In order to bring an action against someone, you would have to have standing (i.e. a party to the contract). Please feel free to contact me to discuss.

We bought a house four years ago. As of recent, we have discovered serious issues with the well. We called the same plumber the previous owner used.
