No, because there's no such thing as inserting a clause in an oral agreement. Clauses are written, and your rent paid is paid.
She sounds like a loon. Just move and end the drama.

I am certain that there are many experienced lawyers who will litigate a small claims case against your obnoxious landlord; however, not for free. Why?
(1) Because the amount of money involved is way too small; and
(2) because they cannot collect their fees from the landlord;... Read more »
The judgment did not have language pertaining to a FIS. This was against a business and the owner in small claims court.
It depends on how the clerk of court handles it in your county. Call the clerk's office and ask; the clerk might have a form to fill out or you might need to file a motion asking the judge to order it.
The fact info sheet was not sent to the defendant (business and owner) with the final judgment notification. The defendant is ignoring this judgment.
If the judgment has language concerning the FIS, just do a motion requesting the court enter an order requiring the defendant respond to a FIS. Of course he is ignoring it - until you put pressure on him to voluntarily pay, he isn't going to do so.
I showed the manager the plastic and she knew exactly where it came from.
OK so I have had several cases like this. If you see blood in your stool or if you pass blood, don’t be alarmed, because this usually goes away after a while with a very sharp object like glass or sharp plastic is adjusted. If you do pass blood, make sure you take a picture of it so that you can... Read more »

This is America. No one ever "goes to jail" just because they owe you money.
The court is in Florida and I live in Georgia. Do I need to put in the motion a reason such as distance or can I just request to appear virtually and leave it at that?
Yes, of course you should give your reasons. It is up to the judge, and if you don't give your reasons it is more likely that the motion will be denied.
To pay the bills for towing and storage. They have threatened a lien on our drivers license. Are we legally obligated to pay?
A car owner is strictly vicariously liable if the driver's negligence causes your damages in a Florida crash. This law is called the dangerous instrumentality doctrine. You could also be held liable for negligent entrusting your vehicle, if your daughter is in no good condition to drive a car... Read more »
I live in Atlanta. The case is in Orlando.
You can certainly request it, but to find out whether the judge would consider it, call the judge's judicial assistant and ask him/her. You might be required to file a motion to make that request and to set your motion for a telephonic hearing. Or you might be told, "no, you filed suit... Read more »
You did not say if you got sick from the yogurt. If you did, and you went to the emergency room or an urgent care center, save the yogurt and promptly consult an attorney. If you did not get sick, your remedy is a refund from the store.
If I let someone use my car but then I change my mind and I ask for them to return it and they refuse, is it illegal for me to have it towed?
Based on what you are saying, I would say you are safe…you may wish to ask for law enforcement to assist you.
My ex-husband and I have been divorced since August 2017. In the divorce settlement, which we did without lawyers, he was given the asset of the house, with the intention that he would refinance (removing me from the mortgage). Since then, he has refused to refinance every time I ask him about it.... Read more »
Assuming the settlement agreement stated he would be required to refinance, then yes. File a Motion to Enforce the Final Judgment. Serve him with the papers and you're off and running. If the settlement agreement is silent as to the refinance, you may have to file a petition to partition the... Read more »

Sounds like you trusted the wrong person. The car is legally hers. If it was purchased in North Carolina, and you then drove it to Fla., you are at risk of her reporting it stolen, and you getting arrested for theft. You should immediately confirm with her, IN WRITING, the "deal" you... Read more »
I found out Friday afternoon the owner had an offer on his boat and was closing the following Monday.

You may sue whomever you did the work for in small claims court, and you could first try sending a demand letter stating you will file in small claims court if not paid. Whether it's worth your time is a question only for yourself to answer. You'd have to find out from the Clerk's... Read more »

Yes, you can sue her. She offered the puppy, you accepted the offer, and provided her with consideration in the form of money, and you also took the action of neutering your dog based on her reassurance.

No, since the puppy was not in your possession, the neighbor can't be charged with the crime of theft. However it does appear that you have a civil case for specific performance of the contract.
