Hello,
If they are destroying the property, you can evict them for that. There are still ways for landlords to evict; non-payment of rent is not one of them though. You should also look into the federal rental assistance that is coming. It is first come first serve, and with... View More

You didn't ask a specific question, I suggest that you seek an in office consultation to get a second opinion if you don't like what your lawyer is telling you or what he is asking you to do. That being said expect a lawyer to charge you for his time and advise.

Although you listed this as a "Small Claims case", it may (or may not be much more than that). In NJ almost no home improvement contractor's contract ever complies with the contract requirements of the New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor Act, which will almost certainly violate... View More

You shouldn't need to file the form, its for your new attorney to file it and he/she should have it or can find it in a legal form book.

I am not sure what you mean by the term "in collections". The landlord is not permitted any self help actions. He must file a complaint with the court. If the Landlord is violating the covenant of quiet enjoyment, you still have to meet your obligation to pay the rent. However, you can... View More

In terms of illegal things, a contract can't be based on performance that is illegal. In terms of things that can't be signed away, it more often comes down to a matter of enforceability in the event of a dispute or breach. Some of the issues that could arise here are constitutionality,... View More
I signed a contract and have paid. My fiancé is being deployed next year so we cannot reschedule. The venue is making changes to what is in my contract due to COVID restrictions and I want to just cancel and be refunded.

In addition to whatever the terms are in your contract, there are principals of general contract law regarding unforeseeable intervening events, impossibility and frustration of purpose that may apply to your situation. In addition, if the venue refuses to allow you to cancel and return your... View More

Based on the information in your question it appears clear that the venue is unwilling to refund your money voluntarily. You should contact an attorney that practices consumer law and provide them with your contract and the facts of your situation. If there is a strong case that the venue is... View More

This is definitely a breach of contract case. You may even be entitled to triple damages if your lawyer can prove consumer fraud which may allow you to get back the payment you will need to make to hire a good lawyer. Setup an in office consultation with a good lawyer of your choice.
