You might go to Court with the Landlord who asks to dismiss the suit, then you pay him. Otherwise do not pay and get ready to move elsewhere. Talk to him, but realize the Detainer is set for Court, and you do not want to give him money then get run out.

As to the auto policy, you probably have no cause of action since you have no damages at this time. Unless it is provable it hurt your credit rating or something, there is no case. You could file a Declaratory Judgment action to get your name off, but you should just call the Carrier and complain.... View More

You could require a security instrument or mortgage as part of the sale agreement.
If you go that route, the buyer must agree to put up some collateral (her home, vehicles, or her and/or the business' real estate, assets, or property) in case she misses or refuses to make a payment to... View More

You will have to hire an attorney to find out to to serve the Defendant. Then sue, hopefully in a Tennessee Court, but probably you might have to go to the State where you agreed in writing to litigate. Federal

What is your question? If the Judge gave you possession, then wait ten days and see if the tenants are still occupying the place. Otherwise go back to Sessions Court and ask for a Writ of Possession to be issued and executed. If you did not get possession, then you have a serious problem,... View More

Isn't there an implied warrenty that the computer works and how can I get my money back?
answered on Jan 6, 2020
Look at the paperwork with your purchase- look to see if they sold the computer "as is." If not then you would be correct. But also, you may want to talk to a computer expert- an expert may be able to unlock the computer for you.
I’m looking to rent a property with a property management group. However, they have refused to show me the lease before I sign it and pay them my non-refundable security deposit and first month’s rent. Can they legally force me to sign a lease before sharing the details of the contract with me?
answered on Dec 23, 2019
No, landlords or property management companies cannot "force you to sign a lease." However, that is not what they are trying to do here.
FYI: Landlords may lawfully refuse to rent to you unless you agree to do certain things--such as agreeing to put down a reasonable security... View More

If you have a lease term- it can not be shortened by simply a change in the ownership of the property- unless there is language in the lease that would make the lease terminable- which would be unusual. Usually the new owner takes subject to the lease.

I asked the representative was it a binding agreement before I signed because I was very skeptical. He said that Tennessee HomeBuyers could not force me to sell my home. It was my house and I could change my mind. I made several attempts to cancel the process. I never got a response back. I also... View More

Obviously the provable facts will probably decide the case, if a suit for Specific Performance is filed. Is there a liquidated damages clause in the Contract? Was there an earnest money payment? Do you have merchantable title? The Contract itself must be scrutinized as the parol evidence rule... View More

Depends on the terms of the contract. Contact a local attorney to review your contract to best determine your options.
I am buying property, owner financing. They have sold the same property to another that's building a house. When the house is completed do I have the right to moving into it , because I have a contract, whereas I'm buying property, and have been paying land tax from 2014.

Not sure if you mean the seller has sold the property twice? The first recorded deed generally will control unless the buyer had notice of the other deed before recording.

Not sure what the collateral is. But you may need to hire a competent attorney to file suit. It has to do with the value of the collateral as to whether it is worth the trouble. The Fair Debt Collection Act might give you some relief, as well as a set of TN Consumer Protection Statutes.

In a merger there is a surviving entity and the other does not. Either name or a new name could be used- by a name change. If you want to preserve both names and use one as a d/b/a you can do that as well. You also don't necessarily have to do a merger. One entity can by the assets or the... View More

To start, it sounds like you originally had an oral contract for your vehicle to be towed for $75. As such, generally speaking, the towing company was required to tow your vehicle for the agreed upon price. The price is usually offered based on the distance that the vehicle will be towed and the... View More
