The lender would have to specify what specific term of the mortgage has been breached to call the loan. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney to review the mortgage and what the lender is telling you, and to respond to the lender on your behalf.

The teacher has the administrative right to challenge the performance rating by the terms of the teacher's contract. There are very specific objections or challenges to the performance rating that have to be brought within strict time limits.
Students and parents do not have such a right.

Yes. Unless the deviation from the signed electrical plan is relatively minor or the result of an extreme increase in the cost. You should be able to require the contractor to follow the signed electrical plan. Regarding the 2 1/2 month delay, you may be able to sue for breach of contract... View More

Unless you surrender the title the prospective owner will probably sue you.

You can't make them give you a copy. Can you take a photo of the document with your phone? If not, take photos of any damage to the trailer that they note on the document and simultaneously make your own written record of the damage they are writing down.

Technically, your contract was with Airbnb.

Yes, you can sue him. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and retain a local attorney to review the facts and discuss your options. The attorney can advise if it would be cost-effective to sue him. But even if you sue, and win, he might not have any money to be able to repay you.
I purchased a used truck (2015 F-250 Super Duty) from 3/6. 3/22 the tire pressure low light came on.
The air pressure recommendations on the door placard of the truck recommended 80psi rear and 65 front.
I checked the max pressure on the tire sidewall and immediately noticed the... View More

A starting point could be to bring the underrated tires to the attention of the dealership. If they agree to the issue you raise and are willing to work with you to remedy the problem, that might be the most cost-effective solution.

If contractor did not follow the proper consumer sales and home solicitation requirements and provide notices, then it would not be enforceable if it went to court. If you don't want the contractor to do the work tell... View More
The county requires connection to the sewer, which I would now have to pay for and dig up my yard. All because someone lied on the the contract and said it was county sewer when it wasn't.
answered on Apr 4, 2019
There are various statutes of limitation that might apply, either for a home sale contract or for fraud. Those are all shorter than 22 years. The clock starts either when the event occurred (when the seller told you it was county water and sewer in 1999) or when you learned about the problem (you... View More

I found some unsettling info of this company and really made me change my mind the next day after signing.
answered on Mar 6, 2019
You should have been given a 3 day right of cancellation. Notify the company in writing within 3 days that the contract is cancelled. But in some cases, that might not be sufficient, depending on all the circumstances. The contractor could have violated the consumer protection and consumer sales... View More
Our congregation is very unhappy with the Minister because he has not upheld the terms of the original contract he signed four years ago. He re-wrote his own contract, without input from the Board, and refuses to show it to Members of the congregation who have asked to see it.
answered on Feb 4, 2019
If the contract is between the minister and the board, then it is the board's decision if the members can see the contract. But if the church is organized as an Ohio non-profit corporation, the members could take legal action to obtain access to the contract. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to... View More
