You must give your landlord a reasonable amount of time to repair the oven. You should probably give the landlord written notice if the oven is not repaired within a reasonable period of time, you will make the repair yourself and deduct the amount from the monthly rental payment.

We are now having to tow the jeep. It has many issues that we were not informed about before the trade. We have messages where the owner told us the jeep had no issues. The car clearly had issues as they started a mile from their house, where we signed titles over. Is their anything we can do?
answered on May 28, 2019
Probably not, because neither the Jeep nor the motorcycle are worth enough money to make it worthwhile for you to hire a litigation lawyer and fight the seller. Unless you want to try in a small claims court.
The dealers paperwork was off by 700 miles. What recourse do I have? thanks
answered on May 20, 2019
Go back to the dealership and have them amend the lease contract to state the correct number of beginning miles.
The organization is saying I can now only use my money on a short term trip with them in the next three years. I was only committed to going with them because they were helping me get overseas to work with them long term & they never told me of any time limit.

IMO, if the organization "gave" you the money upon condition that you make the trip overseas to go to work for them within the next three years, then you must either do that or give the money back--so they can use it to find another employee willing to move overseas to work.

You could try reposting your question in the Landlord-Tenant section, since it hasn't been picked up in four weeks. You are correct in that it involves a contractual/business law matter, but you are speaking of remedies of a company that may have arisen under a lease. What you describe sounds... View More
Can they hurt my credit if I don't pay it back? Or take me to court? Not sure if there is anything they can do to enforce this contract since it is not mentioned in the actual agreement.

They could sue you to recover the amount owed under a breach of contract theory.
We are going round & round with a current vendor and they sent us over a signed agreement/payment terms from 8 years ago that someone agreed to way before myself or my Controller started here. Trying to figure out how long these are valid?

If you actually received the goods, then the app/credit terms is a contract valid until paid or until the statute of limitations in your state expires. If you did not receive the goods per the app/credit terms, then there is no contract and no monies are due.
The company I left does a small percentage (less than 1%) of work that I would potentially be competing with so it would not affect their core business. Also, I would be providing only some overlapping services, and not all that I was producing at the previous company. Do I need to worry about an... View More

The answer depends very much on the exact language of the non-compete. SC law requires that a non-compete be limited reasonably in time (three years or less, generally) and reasonably in geographic scope, among other requirements. If you serviced customers all over the US, then the agreement MAY... View More
I'm 17 and I have been told I broke a few things in my car. One I will pay for, but the rest they claim I broke when I didn't. Can they legally make me pay for it, even though I'm underage and there was no contract?
answered on Jan 12, 2018
Technically they'd have to show it was you, but you need to decide how much you want to push the issue. You'd come off more mature saying that you didn't break the other items but you'll be glad to help out by paying them.

I recently stopped by & the house has brown granite, floors, and beige walls. Builder acknowledges the error but is refusing to make any changes due to the cost. Please advise what my rights are.
answered on Jul 14, 2017
Normally, with new construction the contract contains an inclusions list. If your inclusions list reads gray granite, floors and walls, you may have rights against the builder. If this however, was only verbal, then you had better get used to what he installed.
I am a Bariatric Surgeon. I recently resigned as a solo hospital employed Bariatric surgeon because of bad faith dealings on the part of my hospital.

The answer is fact-specific. You should schedule a consult with a South Carolina non-compete lawyer to have your case reviewed.

Is there a place you can go that doesn't cost as much? If so move and cancel the reservation & tell your credit card. I would contact a local attorney, Carl Jacobson in Charleston. Use my name--he'll give you a free consultation.
